How to lessen throat hit?

[Syakster]

I'm very new to vaping (2 weeks old to be precise). I used to be a heavy smoker (1 and a half - 2 packs a day) and have not had any urges to go back since I started vaping. I've been using local made juices with 6mg nicotine, which are really smooth and nice to my throat.

Yesterday I bought Suicide Bunny Sucker Punch with 6mg nicotine after reading really great reviews online. Weird thing is, I get a really itchy throat hit with this juice.

I did some research and many said that throat hit are caused by high nicotine level, but I doubt that is the case here considering I've been smoking 6mg nic level over the past 2 weeks. And I'm also doubting that it's to do with the juice because almost all reviews talk about how smooth Sucker Punch is.

I can taste the flavour and I think it could be my ADV if I can get rid of the throat hit. Any advices?

I'm using a Kangertech Subtank Mini RBA with Subox at 0.6ohm and I've been trying all sorts of wattages. So far 19w seems like the nice balance, but I still get that itchy throat hit.

are you Mouth to lung hitting if that's the case try holding it in your mouth for a few more seconds

It might be because the PG is too high. I vaped on some cheapo PG liquid that I bought from a drug store while I was waiting for my next shipment of juice. It was only 12mg but it felt like I was sucking in glass shards in the middle of a sandstorm because it was straight PG.

I'm actually not sure what the PG is on this juice, it's not stated on the bottle... But the usual juice that I've been vaping were all either 50/50 or 60/40.

I usually do a lung hit, from my old smoking habit. I did try doing a mouth to lung hit, but I don't think there's much a difference there. I still get an itchy throat.

It wont be the juice, thats 70vg, 30pg, like all of bunny's juices, are you getting any juice coming up? that would do it, maybe slight flooding from your coil build ?

I'm not getting any juice coming up. What do you mean flooding on the coil? And if so, how do I fix that?

You mean the tank itself causes inconsistencies? If so, could I possibly have better luck with this juice in my next refill? Because right now I'm thinking of just giving it away, which is a shame considering I do like the flavour.

Put a pre built vertical kanger coil in there, you'll probably find the problem goes away

If your using the old occ then they are terrible, as above, try the new vertical ones, sooooooo much better. I'm not into rebuilding so can't comment on that..

i wouldn't say inconsistencies it's smooth after a few hit but the first hits are killer i know there's a way to solve that problem but i cant remember off the top of my head

Yep i am using the OCC coils. Are they really that much better, i need to give those a shot, because after my death hits are done the tank performs really well, thanks for the tip

Yes they are way better, also around a 70vg juice works really well too ...

Ah man, I wonder how many more hits I have to go through before it smooths out. It's been a day of consistent vaping for me, and it still hurts.

Is your airflow up all the way? If not try that, maybe its because of it being warmer vapor.

 

[Rockkeyjohnson]

Wonderful thread to know about throat hit. Likewise can to tell me how stop this smoking?

You're vaping at 19watts? Bump it down to 17. I Vape at 21-23 watts on my subtank, when I left my wife try it I close the airflow down one, and bump the wattage down. I do this so she doesn't get a harsh throat hit since she doesn't Vape much. Also you may want to try 3mg nicotine. It could be the PG, but I think in a subtank it's more the nicotine

Tried all the possible air hole sizes, no changes in irritation Possibly just slightly less with it all the way open.
