Welcome to ECF.

Lots of good answers to your questions. Let me chime in and say that you may want to lower your nicotine level a tad or two. My daughter's boyfriend normally vapes 0 mg nicotine. About a month ago, he told her that his tongue was getting tingly with a new flavor that he had ordered. They both immediately thought it was an allergic reaction - he does have allergies to various foods and medications. My daughter brought the bottle of eliquid home, since he really liked the flavor of the eliquid. When I looked at the bottle, I saw that the eliquid was 18 mg nicotine, with 2 flavor shots. No wonder his tongue was tingling, going from 0 mg nicotine to 18 mg nicotine, with 2 flavor shots, no less! Turns out he goofed when placing his order.

As far as pg and vg go, maybe try going with a lower pg, higher vg ratio. My daughter and I were comfortable with higher pg when we used cigalikes with cartos, but when we switched to Evod setups, we noticed that the higher pg was a bit harsh for us. We are now using 50/50 pg/vg and that is working for us.

Drink plenty of water. vaping tends to dehydrate you.

The dry throat only last a minute or two after I take a few draws, and then subsides. I was just curious as to whether it wasn't supposed to happen when vaping.
What are the best sites for ordering those kinds of e liquids, I love the taste of the Halo juices.

That sounds more like a reaction to the nicotine then. Dryness from vaping is more persistent as the vapor "steals" moisture. Halo has lower nic levels. Try a 6mg of a flavor you have and like and see how that goes. If that's too low and you vape like a steam engine ( :) ), move up to 12.

You can, also, dilute one you have by getting the same flavor in low nic and mixing. Equal amounts of 6 and 18 make a 12 for example.
