It sounds like it`s the juice you are using to me, do you know what ratio of VG/PG it is ? PG can and does irritate a lot of Vapers, I would suggest you try a different brand of liquid with higher VG at first :)
I actually don't know what VG/PG means :yawn: you're speaking a whole new language haha. I have my e-cig on a very low voltage - could it smoke more smooth if I increase the voltage? (Sorry to sound like such a newbie!) :blink:

Same for high VG with some (me for example), but yes, PG reactions are more common, also to note, some ingredients in some of the flavouring could be the culprit, even with out allergies.

The two main ingredients are PG/VG + some flavouring + nicotine of course at your desired level...
Stick at it, you will find your way in no time! :)

No worries!, play around with your settings/power find your balance, and buy a few juice brands, find something that fits you, this forum helped me a lot, loads of good info here from good people.

PS. don't fret about posting on the main forums with any Q's you may have, you speak English after all ;)

PG = Propylene Glycol & the higher PG content, the more throat hit (& it's most likely this that is giving you the tickly throat & couch.

VG = Vegetable Glycerine & the higher content of VG gives more vapour & less throat hit.

Hi Roxyco. I used to get the same thing - raspy, wispy, sharp vapour that is too harsh and which makes you cough - I got this most often with very low-resistence pre-built atomiser coils. Have you tried moving onto rebuildable coils? Being able to set up your own coils lets you control/increase the surface area of the coil and cotton, which means a softer, fuller, cooler vapour. If you're new, I'd recommend any of the Kanger Subtanks and especially the mini, as the kit comes with a free RBA coil, though have a look around the forum - there may be better models out there. Good luck.
