You may want to try something a bit lower in nicotine. I notice the first few hits after not hitting for a while are stronger. I am vaping other flavors now, other then tobacco flavor and they are smoother. I never thought I would be vaping things such as "vanilla coffee" or "raspberries and cream" but damn! They are good! Nhalers High Voltage juice is just yummy! Good luck! ;)

I have the same issue with my 510s ... I have two of them and have used different strength juice and I still get the same harsh effect (I can compare it to something else ... but not a legal something else). After the atty is warmed up it goes away ... either that or I just get used to it.

I wish I could give you advice on making it better ... but I can't ... so I personally just chalk it up to another way to get good and awake too damn early :D

Harshness - not just for the 510 - comes from priming/shipping fluid on the atty which tastes really nasty - I wash it out with 151 for an hour on a new atty and then blow it out - by mouth and dry, then put 2 or 3 drops of juice on it and huff it not inhaling for a bit. Should be good after that. Another source of harshness is that you're out of juice. Drip some on the atty and top off the cart. Another is you're power vaping the juice off the top of the cart and again running out of juice or are getting juice that has been sitting in the cart for a while - esp. tobacco based - wash out the cart filler. OR with any manual - you're hanging on the button and heating up the atty too much. Bad juice is one other possibility.

If my pv has been sitting for a while, lets say and hour or so, the first two or three inhales can be very harsh..not so pleasing first thing in the morning. Using a 510 and ecopure gold 25mg..anyone else notice or is it just me...

Try standing it up at an angle so that the cartridge is raised higher than the battery end whenever you park it for a while. Doing that helps mine avoid the problem you're experiencing.

Ive noticed the first hits after not vaping for a while can be quit harsh, reminds me of waking up after a night of drinking liquor and smoking a cig,
PG is a humerectant, so when u go without it after taking alot of it in, your throat pobally gets pretty dry, drink some water, you'll live

another cause of harsh throat hit ive had (besides really hi NIC) is burnt polyfill, that is bad for you.

It seems like thats a common thing with 510s, i've been seeing alot of posts like that and with my recurring bronchitus, im steering clear

I don't think the problem is specific to the device. I have 5 different ones and this happens to me with each one. I think it is warming up the atomizer. I am going to give a few extra primer puffs in the AM and see if I can avoid the daily morning cough fit. :rolleyes:
