My 2 cents on what you are experiencing.....

First thing is the coughing, I believe that is from 2 things, your lungs getting used to being clean and non toxic so they need to clean out a bit so you're coughing a lot. Next dehydration. A lot of people have already said it but its true. When you start vaping as much as you used to smoke or even more you need to take in extra water. It can be hard to remember to hydrate when youre not used to it.

As for your hardware woes, why not try some cheap vv or vw mod w a cheap rebuildable atomizer. Some say they cant or dont wanna learn to build coils and wick. But it makes everything very customizable so you can make it just how you want it to taste / feel. Good luck on your journey.

Nora, some people have reported similar experiences when using high VG liquids. You said your liquid is thick and your flavors are muted which makes me think you need to lower the VG.

Try that nasal flush... sounds disgusting but it really isn't... plus it WORKS!

add a little water to your juice (5% to 10% right in the bottle) and I tried it. It smooths things out nicely! Give it a shot and see if that helps.

I still do this every time...

When I fist started and was getting a gurgle and I got an ulcer a few times....Lots of water while vapeing and IF you think it will help....gargle with warm salt water 2x a day...salty like the ocean
It may burn a little, but will help clear it up faster. Worked for me.

Coffee cup, warm tap water, teaspoon of table salt.

Vaping is bland when you start while smoking and it's even bland for a while until your taste buds and sense of smell return after quitting smoking. It takes a couple of months after you quit smoking to begin to taste the full flavor of your juice. You may never appreciate the full flavor and taste of your juice if you still smoke a cigarette here and there.

Vaping does dehydrate the mouth and sinuses, so it's crucial that you drink lots of water. The water also helps rid your body of the poisons you accumulated from smoking.

When you lose your sense of taste and juices begin to lose flavor, there are several things you can try. Biotine mouthwash is a good brand to revitalize your mouth and taste buds. Eat pickles once in a while and the vinegar will cleanse your palate. It does work. Every time I walk out of a Krystal after eating the hamburgers with pickle slices, my first vape is kind of WOW!

Some people swear by a drink of Apple Cider Vinegar or its use as a mouthwash.
