Lets talk juice pg/vg nic

[darkfire3814]

So i got my first vape set up today. The tesla and aerotank. The juice im using is 50/50 18nic

As a smoker i all ways did " lung" hits but with my vape i can barely lung any at all. Is this a to high of nic or do i need to adjust my pg/vg lvl?

Im looking for high cloud but still get flavor.

Your nic level will definitely have something to do with it, plus PG also gives more throat hit and will give you a kick in the lungs. When vaping and doing lung hits, which is all I do now, I had to drop the nic level. You might also experiment with adding to the vg level.

i guess i should state the im getting vape its just to harsh on the throat to inhale it.

Vaping does take a bit of getting used to. It's different than smoking. I coughed quite a bit when I first started vaping.

When you say "lung hits" are you trying to draw directly into your lungs, or are you drawing the vape into your mouth first? For most people the second is better (although there are some who like to go straight to the lungs).

PG and nicotine both contribute to the harshness. You could try adding a little VG (which you can get at most drug stores, wal-mart, etc) to try to tone down the harshness. You can also try a lower power/voltage level.

Good luck, and welcome to ECF!

It's going to take a bit to get use to vapor as opposed to smoke. Just like when you first started smoking it was difficult to take a full hit but your body adjusted. The same will happen with vapor it will take some time to adjust.

Imagine hitting the 24mg instead, that's what I use right now. Been running 24mg since I started vaping a few months ago. The throat irritation and uncontrollable need to cough after a good hit will go away.
