Hello and welcome to ecf...
Can you tell us where you got the ejuice or go back and see if the blend is listed on the vendors site? Usually vg is a smooth vape. What is the level of nic, that may be the problem.

Usually Vg is too thick for tanks though it's posisble one was thinned enough to work. In general tanks like 20-30% VG though some thinner 50/50 juices may work.
And drink plenty of fluids. Vaping is drying.

I don't know, but sometimes if you take to big a pull on any descent pv you might cough b/c it's to much vapor. It may be a matter of getting used to it.
Weird but I have found that I cough MORE with 100% VG than I ever did with PG. Not sure why??
You may want to check all the ingredients, as you may be allergic to something in it.
Welcome! As you are new to this it may be a matter of your vaping style. Taking long drags implies to me that you are sucking the vapor into your lungs like you did with cigarettes. Not necessary and it can be irritating. Try shorter drags and "holding" the vapor in your mouth - versus drawing it down and into your lungs. There are a couple few videos, IIRC in the ecf library, that illustrate proper vaping technique.

drinks lots of water too! Before and after vaping, helps keep things lubed up and less coughing. bnrk
I got that too, the first day (yesterday). Today is better! I think we just have to get used to it.
What helped me a lot with this was to pull the vapor into my mouth slow and easy for about (3) seconds and then inhale into my lungs. After a few vapes I was taking (5) to six second pulls. This made a big difference for me. At first I was trying to inhale the vapor straight into my lungs and it felt horrible. Short slow pulls into the mouth and then inhale. Good or bad now I am double hitting on the same vape turning the switch off at just the right time and restarting for the second draw while allowing the smoke from the first draw out through my nose. mmmmmmm I can't get enough lol.
I tried to thin down thick VG juice with PGA once and it gave me a scratching/itching feeling in my throat. Just wondering if your VG was thinned down with PGA? Not sure if suppliers do this or not but its something to think about.
Vaping takes awhile to get all the pieces together but its worth it! Dont give up.

Drink lots and lots of fluids. If I'm vaping, I'm sipping on something. Experiment a little with some lemon or other flavorings for water. I'm surprised to find that I like lemon water, something I would never drink with a cig.
It also helps to slow the draw way, way down. Doing so helps wicking time and helps prevent hot air in the vapor stream. Take notice that in most videos, the reviewer takes forever and a day for a single puff. It's an easy habit to get into, and really worthwhile imo. At it's extreme, a starved coil will produce a vape that tastes horrible and may actually hurt the back of your throat. My theory is that slow wicking is the culprid behind many of the 'tastes burnt' complaints.
Like southernIL, I also find that I personally have to watch the amount of alcohol in my juice. I have a berry flavor that I can only vape for a few hours until I need to switch to something else.
Just experiment, and, hopefully, you'll soon come up with what works for you. Good luck, and happy vaping.

thanks everyone, sorry took me a while to respond to this threat, i've now switched to a VV lavatube with a cartomizer and love it, i have no problem with ether 100% pg juice or 100% vg juice. Problem was just the eGo-T i think, the A model was terrible, tried the b model it helped a bit, but still got dry burned taste from time to time ( also doesn't help that it was a joye ego i guess)
I've been using a Joye Ego T for months and the vape is working very well after the first week. It's a break in period I believe. Blow out the initial liquid on the Atty and drop some juice in the wick a few times and after a while the flavor and clouds are fine.
I had the same problem at first. I found that if I inhale like I'm drinking from a straw it works much better. Not sure if this is the correct way to do it but it works for me.
I agree, drinking lots of fluids helps, too.

Try several types of juices, i read that vg is best for sensitive people, however you should only run pg in your tank as dormouse said. i use mostly High Caliber 50/50 in my ego t and havent really had any wicking problems. My buddy just started vaping with an ego-t and has been coughing with all kinds of juices. Im still trying to figure this one out. : (
My husband was having this problem too. However we were doing a pg/vg mix. I got some 100%vg juice and lower nic (12mg). He has been working on his draw method, and now he is doing fine. Can't inhale quick like a cig, it has to be smooth and into the mouth then a slow inhale. MMMmmmmmmmm.... so good.
My husband has never used an Analog before and when he saw me switch to vaping he would smell all the flavors I vape and want to try them. Now he's hooked with his own setup and loves it. But he complains of a dry, itchy throat and sometimes a burning or sore throat. He's never really inhaled analogs or vapor so he didn't know how to properly do it. I had to show him by taking in the vapor in your mouth first and then inhaling it into your lungs. Vaping is different then analogs, and it's something you have to get used to for sure. Another reason could just be the irritation from quitting Analogs.
