You may be able to find YouTube videos that show you how to vape. Just remember you don't have to hold it in. A simple in and out works too. It does become second nature after a while.

There is a learning curve but it is so worth hanging in there!

If you need more help, just ask. We all are really pulling for you to succeed.

Hello,

Good to know I'm not the only one with issues inhaling straight. Only 5 days in with 16mg 70/30 pg/vg. Ordered some more juice in 14 and 12mg. Also some straight PG and VG juice to cover all bases and find out what works. Hope it arrives soon!

Just try different ways until you find what works for you. I do all different ways depending on time of day, I just have to be careful when I really get a craving to not hit it lik a cig LOL.

Good luck and don't forget to drink a lot of water.

Thanks! I hear you on not hitting it like a cig! The worst for me is the first morning e-cig.

I have had the same problem. When I first got my e-cig the sales person said I would need 18mg because I smoked a pack a day of ultralights... but I couldn't use it. It hurt my upper chest when I inhaled. I thought it may be too much nic so I got some 8mg. pre-filled carts. Better but still a bit uncomfortable. Decided to try a different mix and even less nic. so ordered 50/50 mix of PG Vg and 6mg nic. Whoa. Lots more vapor but hard on the bronchia! Can't inhale. Gonna have to learn to not inhale at all but don't know if I can do that. Seems weird. Experimenting gets expensive. I hope you find your right mix of PG/Vg/Nicotine.

I vape 6mg 80/20 VG/PG and I have no issues with irritation of the throat/lungs.

You will be thirsty though as the E-juice is Hygroscopic and will dry out your throat giving you "cotton mouth". But then again, drinking a lot of water is healthy, right?

 

[octaner]

Ya just not to much water or you will flush your body.

When I was vaping, id sort of inhale it into the lungs, and then breath it straight back out, whereas with cigs I would hold it slightly. Vaping does tend to be harsh, some juices moreso than others.

I personally found 18mg not overpowering, nor particularly harsh. I was smoking a 24mg with wta's at one point, and only after a few days not smoking did it make me dizzy first go (I did find that harsh). But then your mileage may vary. Id certainly recommend a 'lighter' or 'breifer' smoking style than cigs.

"You will be thirsty though as the E-juice is Hygroscopic"

Yeah both glycerol and propylene glycol are hygroscopic. Didnt realise that when I was vapping last.
