Throat and lung hit, a bit much!

[Billw762]

OK Gang, I am not only new to vaping, but forums also.

I got the 510 this weekend. My wife and I have both tried it a little. We both have the same response, cough and gag. Just like smoking a super strong analog when you aren't used to it. I have seen quite a few of the how to videos, seems like everyone has this issue once in awhile.

So, here is my question. Is it the strength of the juice I have (24mg), or is it that we have to get used to the vapor (maybe being denser than smoke)? So far we like everything about them, except the ability to vape them full time.

Any suggestions?

Its the vapor, not the nicotine - the nic is just that nic high. You can try different mixes - VG, for me, feels smoother, sweeter, and makes more vapor.

PG gives more throat hit, but feels a little rougher because of it.

You could try picking up some VG (vegetable glycerin, food grade) at walmart, cvs, etc, and mixing that in - it may make it feel a bit smoother for you.

And good luck with the transition, it went well for me, hope it does for you too

Hi Billw,

Everyone has to get used to vaping the ecig. 24mg is king of strong for a newb but you will get use to it fast enough. Try mouth or cheek hits and then take it in the vapor instead of full lung hits. Are you using cart that came prefilled? Or did you fill your own carts with ejuice?

I was having that problem too.. I just got mine yesterday. I've only smoked 6 analogs in about 30 hours now. The need to cough is getting better. It's already not bothering me much, unless I get a really really big hit. I think it's just because our lungs are torn up from the smoke.

Thats true too - I was thinking of the really big hit, but every time ive tried to quit smoking, the coughing started.

Hi - since you just got the 510 this weekend, you may be experiencing the taste of some 'primer liquid' that is on the atomizers. It was like this for me; for the first few days my 510 had a very strong 'oily' taste or something - yuck ! ... there's lot's of comments on this site on this subject and '510 atty break-in period'.

Many of those videos are straight lung inhalers and that will make me cough every single time. My wife coughed on each hit for two days. She just puffed a bit then took smaller inhales until she was able to mouth inhale. A bit of a 'pipe/cigar' puff was needed like when you're trying to keep a fire lit on a pipe - drag, open mouth take in some air, drag, another open mouth air inhale then bite down and drag and inhale ;-) The additional air dilutes the vapor some but you're building up some vapor by doing that as well. But do that on a gradient.

If you asked me I would say it is the 24mg juice.
But that's only because I don't know anything else about your circumstances.
