I would have to echo the VG over PG. My throat was pretty sore until I switched. I also went to 28mg nicotine from 16mg. Big help there!! Now, I've been a heavy smoker for a long time, so you may not want to go that high, but bump up until you get to where the cravings subside. I'm new as well - same boat as you - dramatic cut done, but not quit yet. Once my husband and friends convinced me that I don't massively suck for not going cold turkey, it actually got easier! lol Hey! A couple a day IS waaaay better than 20+ a day!!! You can do this!!! ...and have fun checking out new gadgets/flavors/methods on the way!!
