Started vaping again... harsh vape?

[Brock W]

Hi.
So I ran out of juice and my coils were burnt out a couple months back, and I was just too lazy to fix this.
I just went out today and bought new coils and juice (6mg) but when I vape it hurts my throat and makes the flavour taste pretty gross to me because of the harshness.
Is this just because I havent been vaping for a while? I dont smoke either so I have not had very much nicotine. Oh and I dont get a massive head rush or anything, its just the harshness in the throat.
Any comments help,
Thanks!

Welcome to ECF!

We need more info. What are you using for equipment?

If you aren't trying to quit smoking, you probably don't want to use any nicotine.

One of several things hsppened.

1. You forgot to Prime the coil head.

2. Your wattage us too high and you burned the cotton.

3. the nicotine in the Juice was old and had turned peppery

4. PG (Propylene Glycol) gives a NASTY throat hit and your new Juice has a higher PG ratio

If it's that harsh, it could be the wicking.

Hi Brock, welcome to ECF!

Besides the obvious possibility that the wick is not getting wet enough, could it be the flavoring? Liimes, pineapples, lemons, other strong citric flavors can be very harsh to me, and not to others. Lots of possilities, try to eliminate one at a time until you find which it is

Look forward to seeing you around! I hope you can make the switch permanent this time!

2 months you haven't vape/smoke, no wounder its harsh for you, thats the PG and the nicotine.
Buy juice without nicotine and u'll be fine.

Since you're not a smoker, you don't have any nic addition, why would you get yourself juice with nic in first place?

Welcome and glad you joined. Could try non flavored with no nic.

I have a nic addiction from chewing tobacco, but yes it must have been because I havent vaped in a while because it is slower getting better.

Thank you, it must have been the PG. I am getting more used to it now

If you are chewing tobacco and vaping than still getting no nic juice is good idea, you don't wanna take your nic daily dosage higher than usual, better lower it.

But if you chew less when you vape than its ok i guess.

Glad to help any time i can. Yoy may want to look around for 60% VG 40% pg

I use 70vg 30 PG.
