Saying Hi and a quick question..

[Zebasrin]

Hi all, I'm new to actually posting on the forum but i've been reading for a while. It's insanely helpful so thanks everyone for sharing your knowledge!

My question is for my girlfriend actually, who is smoking. She won't vape too often because when she does it's too harsh and she ends up coughing up a storm. I don't know if she's got like an allergy or if her throat is just totally trashed. I can have it be a bit harsh my first few drags in the morning but other then that I'm golden, no matter what she does however it just kills her. Is there a reason or some sort of juice I can get thats less harsh for her?

Thanks!

The resident experts here will come along shortly to give you some solid advice. Could you possibly provide more information about what equipment and juice are you using? Think it will help in coming up with a solution

Welcome to the ECF!! Best of luck.

I use Silver Bullets and eGo's at 3.7 volts, and a couple of little box mods at around 4.5 volts. I usually have either ElectronicStix juice (my local vendor) or Juicyvapor juice, in every possible category trying to find one she likes.

Tell your girlfriend - I started vaping 7 days ago. The first day was very harsh, hurt my throat and I coughed like crazy. By the second night, it didn't feel harsh at all.

When I started vaping it made me cough too...just tell her to stick with it and it will get better, much much better! And welcome to the forum!

Does she smoke lights or ultra lights? What nicotine level are you buying? What is the ratio of PG/VG of the juice you are buying?

You can try a juice with less nicotine and/or higher VG content. Be aware that higher VG content may thicken the juice and clog your cartos faster.

Agree with Moorted. Try a higher VG juice and see if that helps. I've never coughed and have been using 100% VG since day 1.

Good advice. Sometimes you just need to stick it out.

When i started all of three weeks ago my throat was terrible. I could hardly speak to ask at the pharmacy for some strepsils (Throat tablets in case they're not sold worldwide)

It soon got better

Vg is one option. I also recomend Slb 510 cartomizers. They have the smoothest hit of any carto ive tried. Then a light fruit or vanilla flavor. Thats what it took for my wife to get past the initial phase. Now she hits 1.5 dual coils like a champ!

I agree. My girlfriend said the same when she started. Took several tries with the same outcome. (Cough and quit) In the end, it just took a few hours and it started to dissipate. By the end of the first day, there was no problem. It's not as rough on the throat trying to start smoking at least

I've only been vaping about a week now, and I coughed like crazy the first couple days. It now been a week and I already feel so much better. The best thing she can do is stick w/ it.

I'd say just stick with it and try different liquid combinations.

 

[miller552]

Make sure that she draws into her mouth and then inhailes, kinda like drinking out of a straw...wouldn't want to inhail coke from a straw...lol...takes some practice but if she will practice a little it will come along...after a few good times she will totally develop her own way.

My wife had a similar concern, she's vamping nic free and a Bloog, seems to be a good combination.
