Got my VK today, and with excitement tried it out...

My first impression was the vapor was harsh. It made me cough a little and did not taste very well. I chalked it up to the carto flavor (spiced cider ugh). I then switched to a peppermint ice cream carto and the flavor improved, but the vapor is still a little harsh and makes me want to cough. Is this typical for new vapers? The only flavors I have tried so far have been premix. I have made a mint blank carto from the e-juice I ordered but am currently waiting for it to settle in to use it.

Yeah, it will take a little bit to get used to the difference between vapor and smoke. The first few drags are harsh, but as you get used to taking in vapor it will mellow out. You'll also want to make sure you're not trying to vape like you smoked, instead take longer, softer puffs - and experiment between taking the vapor into your mouth first and then inhaling or direct inhaling.

I've found that direct inhaling isn't for me - I never smoked my cigs like that either though. But a long soft draw into the mouth and then a slight inhale works for me when vaping.

switching from analog to vapor is a difference and you will cough a little. Its almost like when you breath in steam and it starts to loosen the crap in your chest. Same concept but you will get used to it so in a couple days you'll be good

This how I vape as well. It just takes a little practice, and before you know it you'll be vaping like a pro.


BTW....... Welcome Wheasy

Part of the problem I think is the prefilled carts. In my experience, they have all been harsh and nasty. Filling blank, or cleaned carts with fresh juice seems to help a lot as does lower PG to VG ratio's. (The main liquid bases of the e-juice) For me it seems like lower nicotine levels in the juices are not quite as harsh either.

Its an adjustment and you have to give it a little time.

After a little over a week of totally switching over, I don't notice it. You adapt to how to draw fairly quickly, up the liquid consumption, and life gets easy. Good luck!

One other thing is the ratio between PG and VG juice....I have found that PG juice is very harsh for me,,,so I have went to a more medium between PG/VG juice which seems
to help me out....Take your time and try different levels of PG/VG,,...Please note there is a lot to learn about vaping...I have been vaping for only 5 months and I am still learning everyday...But...Welcome and of course ...... Enjoy the Adventure...

I used the first carto I filled with Mint WOW. Much Cleaner taste, much less harsh. It is by far a much better experience. Thank you for reply's.
