Amy,
I didn't feel that throat hit until I bought a MadVapes 5 volt passthrough. It kicks you in the back of the throat and I vape all VG and it still hits me like a mack truck! It feels JUST like smoking a real cig in your mouth. It's that satisfying. The passthrough and 2 amp wall plug are $27 at MV so please give that a try. They use regular attys, not the LR ones.
Do you have juices you love? Have you tried Kick Bass Vapor? Their juices are decadent! sinful! orgasmic! If you find a juice you love and a PV that satisfies you, you WILL conquer the beast.
You can do this and we are all rooting for you!
Lori
