Maybe some of you fine folks can help

[Beer Man]

I've been sucking on a 510 for about two months. For certain reasons I decided to switch up and go with a VK. Got the whole kit plus. Here's my problem. It's too damn harsh! I take a drag off the passthrough and I'm gagging half to death. Pulling off one of the batteries is not much better. Now I'm used to vaping up to 48mg, so i don't think 36mg carts would be a problem. I'm totally loving the VK and all it's accessories, just can't seem to inhale it. my only other complaint thus far is the button. It can be hard to push sometimes and it's hard to know when it's activated with the passthrough.

Any thoughts as to what I may be doing wrong? One other thing, I only vape tobacco flavors.

Thanks for your help!

you might try the VG rather than the PG blends; i can't comment on the diff in vaping 'style' between the two models since i haven't used a 510. the other thing is, if you're getting more vapor, you might want to try a lower nic level anyways--it could still help. perhaps try ordering some lower nic juice to top off the carts you already have. more vapor would probably mean more nicotine per drag, even if the percentage of nic per ml is the same or lower, no?

for knowing when the batt is activated (via the pushbutton) i listen for the sizzle.

which batteries do you have? you might try one of the shorties instead.

do you think there's a possibility it's the flavoring/throat hit in the VK juices themselves? you could try refilling a cart with a juice you've used before?

that's all i can think of off the top of my head, i'm sure others will have some input too.

It sounds like you may need to back down on the nic level just to control the throat hit.

Also, some flavors have less hit than others. What flavors are giving you the coughing fits?

Beer Man, I was using a 510 with 24mg before switching to the VK. The flavor and TH with 24mg were both better with the VK IMHO. I still like the 510, just not the constant topping off. The VK solved that as the carts last a long time (several hours). Oh, getting side tracked. Anyway, with the VK, I found 24mg got me light headed after just a few hits (never happened with the 510) so I stepped it down to 18mg. Now I'm happy as can be. So, you might want to try lowering your nic level a bit. Hope this helps.

If im not mistaken v4l is made to have that throat hit that a lot of smokers are used to its more predominent in their brand then other pv's. That's what makes v4l the best analog alternative

When I vape, I take slow, long drags...and don't deep inhale right away. I let the vapor rest in my mouth first, then slowly inhale. Helps out.

If you smoke this thing like a joint, you'll regret it.

This is a first! Too much throat hit! 48mg! Good grief man I would pass out opening the bottle! I used to vape just 901's, I did find my first few hits on a VK were a bit much for me..I have since become used to it..plus I can now vape 11mg to o nic with no problem.
Welcome to the family..have you tried the lager? It would seem to fit you just fine.
