Couple of suggestions, try a different inhalling techique by drawing into your mouth first, wait a second and then slowly into your lungs. If that doesn't seem to work you can add a bit of vg and see if that tones it down. Just keep in mind that adding vg will dilute the flavor and nic level.
Sure seems like very high Nic level. Alot of folks do 18mg-24. You can find VG at your local pharmacy or Walma.rt to cut it down with.
Agreed with the above posts. Very good information there.
30mg is high, but you may feel strange if you are ODing. I'd try some 2.5 ohm cartos, as that's what I use when vaping a strong juice that hits too hard.

I will agree with getting some VG to cut it with, but have a few additions:
Make sure you get USP-grade VG or higher. Never get anything lower. USP-grade is foodsafe. There is supposedly medical grade above that, but I have never been able to find it for sale, only USP-grade.
It will not only reduce your nicotine intake, but it will also reduce whatever flavoring is in the juice. Thus, I strongly recommend to test in much smaller doses so you don't destroy an entire bottle of juice or make it unvapeable to you.
Inhaling into the mouth, and then drawing in clean air while inhaling it further from there, does cut down that slam to the back of the throat a bit. Drinking water is also a requirement... because both PG and VG will dry you out and dehydrate you a bit when you're getting started.
Things that tend to increase throat hit for a lot of people are a higher PG content and a high nicotine content. In the juice you described, you have both. Some people also get a throat hit off of different flavorings, but that is incredibly variable.
Hope that helps!

Instead of using plain VG, and if you really like the eliquid and feel like buying again, then order another bottle at a lower nic level (seeing that you're at a 30mg. try using 0mg - 6mg of nic) and then mix the two together. That way no loss of flavor, but lower nic level. This is what a lot of people do to increase / decrease their nic levels a little without changing the flavors that they like.
well thank you all for the help I have found a DIY shop in my area so im going to swing in there later today and see if I can pick up some vg and maybe a couple 2-2.5 ohm cartos and an extra tube of flavors to tone it down so maybe my wife will be able to vape.
I will say this today start day 3 of no analogs for me so thank you again for all the help

oh and I already do the mouth pull first its just the way I smoked so it just came naturally that way
ok well I went out and got some 36mg 100% pg nic base and a bottle of 100%vg and some flavors and mixed down the flavor I already have and made some new flavors thank you all on the suggestions I was a great help and I have not been able to get any higher ohm cartos or single coil cartos I just don't have enough money at this point to get more but I will I want smaller cartos these mega ones are a little to big until I find the right liquid for me and my wife
again thanks again for the help
again thanks again for the help
Congrats you are on your way to the pleasure of safer and much more enjoyable way to smoke. All said by these folks is spot on.. Good luck.
