I need help to start over.

I agree with you. I feel it is not about nicotine but the own mist composition...thank u for the clue, but nobody list the components, how can I know if a mist is PG or VG based?

If you order custom e-liquids...you can determine your own pg/vg % to your liking.
The vendor should be able to tell you what yours is.....

I coughed some at first and thought the vapor feeling was irritating. Your lungs will adjust to this and you won't notice it. I believe it happens because our lungs are used to dry smoke and vapor is moist. They also have different densities. Your lungs didn't get comfortable with smoke overnight, likewise it takes a while for them to get used to the vapor. Stick with it. After a while, you may find like many of us, that the vapor is enjoyable and the tobacco smoke it irritating.

You can get different qualities of juice that give a smoother vapor. These are mostly juice made with a low VG content such as 80 % PG and 20 % VG and this is what most new folks start on. But I'll bet your main problem is right now your body just isn't used to vapor yet.

Everybody coughs at first. But 100% PG juice lets through the most harshness of nicotine, the most TH, and also the most flavor. VG dulls all of those things and adds more vapor. Some nice ratios are 70pg/30vg and 50/50. FreedomSmokeUSA has their juices in two groups, Specialty flavors which are only in 50/50, and Flavor Range flavors which are available is whatever PG/VG you select, and Samples BTW are just some of their liquids as 50/50 and 24mg only. Backwoods Brew is 70pg/30vg. Velvet Vapors are available in PG, VG, or one mystery PG/VG "Velvet" blend. I recommend you not buy a huge bottle of any eliquid until you try it. And there are many many more juice vendors.

The Nic-Stix design look very similar to the old style Blu Cigs. My experiences with them were highly negative.

If you want a cigarette like e-cig, then I recommend the KR808D-1. You can find these from Bloog, V4L and others. I prefer the Bloog but your tastes may differ.

In any case, good luck and happy vaping!

Thank you guys. You are a living encyclopedia of vaping!. I never realized about such amount of features. I just bought the first I found on the web, guessing all of them were more or less the same. You were really helpful. Thanks a lot and congratulations for your achievements

I also recommend manual batteries where you hold down a button to make vapor. The auto batteries are totally dependent on a drag sensor through a hole in the middle of the threaded end of the battery. That makes autos most vulnerable to being damaged or killed by juice leaks. Some manual batteries still have a hole in the threaded end but it takes more juice to damage them. Some manuals like 510 are totally sealed metal on the threaded end so very safe for the dripping method or for using/refilling cartomizers. Many auto batteries can also turn on accidentally due to wind or vibration. Most people here use and recommend manual batteries.

That is interesting because I have not read before about cough and could not guess it was so common. BUT I dont think that is a good signal. Sound like mist components are worse than the smoke`s and really, we are vaping clueless about what are we getting in our lungs. Nobody list the components and e-cig are relatively new in the market so...Can we be sure that vaping is safe? On the other hand, that unpleasant feeling discourage a lot and do not help the e-cig to become a true alternative. So, developers need to work on mist composition yet. They dont get it at all.
I want to congratulate you for your achievement. Only we smokers know how much it worth.

Something like 80% of people that vape quit smoking so it's apparently a small percentage of people that have issues with the mist. You have a not a very good pv and probably not very good juice. Is it safe? Who knows? It sure is safer than cigarettes.
