Hi Everyone!
I am brand new to e-cigarettes as of about a week ago. I bought an e-Go CE4 here on the streets in Bangkok. I got MB-H liquid in the kit, but I also bought Liqua Mint at the time. In the beginning I only used the mint flavor, as I had no idea what the heck MB-H was. Later I saw some speculation online that MB-H is "Marlboro, high nicotine". I don't know if this is true or not. But I have tried mixing the two flavors with good luck.
I was only smoking a half-pack of cigs a day when I bought the e-cig, and immediately ditched the cigarettes. vaping is just so much better- no chest pain, no hacking and coughing all the time, etc. Oh and my wife hates the smell of cigarettes so that's a bonus. Here is where it gets complicated. I bought a couple more flavors because I like sweet stuff- I got Liqua strawberry and Liqua vanilla.
The new liquids make a nice mix, but I couldn't figure out why the strawberry and vanilla give such a strong throat hit compared to mint and MB-H. Didn't think much of it though. And all of my liquids are Liqua brand except for the MB-H. Then all of a sudden, after vaping the vanilla/strawberry mix (50/50) for a day or maybe a day and a half- blammo! EXPLOSIVE ......... I got it under control (immodium!) and switched back to 50/50 cigarettes and vaping with my MB-H and Liqua mint mix. So far it seems that the strawberry and the vanilla (or at least one of them) is the problem. Too early to say for sure though.
I have so many questions. Why do some people on message boards swear that the ........ comes from VG, but others swear it is the PG? And some say it is the flavoring, and still others are sure it is the sweeteners in the liquid? How is a noob supposed to sort all of this out?!?!?
I just ordered some Mister E Liquid clear- which is 70%PG and 30%VG. No flavor. I want something more basic and pure so I can possibly narrow down the cause of my problems.
I think my next purchase will be a nice clearomizer like a Kangar Mini Protank 2. Will this work well with my 1100mah batteries? I got two in the kit, and the USB charger seems to work great for me. I would like a glass tank so I don't have to worry about my liquid attacking the plastic, and so I have more choice of flavors. Will I need to choose the coils too, like 2.2 ohm or whatever? Can you advise me on this? What is the difference? I don't care about vapor at all. I just want my nicotine fix and to calm the cravings! Also I want a good quality and durable clearomizer. Capacity is not important as I might only vape 1ml per day or less.
Forgot to mention that all of my liquids are 12mg/ml. I am hoping to cut down to 6mg liquids at some point.
I would also be interested in a fancier sub-$100 setup at some point. If you are using something slim and unobtrustive and you like the quality, please tell me about it!

COngrats on switching over to e-cigs and continuing the effort to find what is right for you. A lot of folks have an issue much smaller than yours and use that as the "oh- well, I tried it didnt work" and give up. Stick with it 
In a maze with Immodium --well thats a good start. If you only had the "reaction" to the vanilla and strawberry I would avoid those for now. Welcome to ECF.
