It could be the flavor. Some flavors irritate my throat.
Are you running juice or prefilled cartos?
I've found that old Juice that is exposed to heat can be very irritating to the throat.

Thanks for the replies. I edited the OP to include more details. I remember reading somewhere that the harshness / "throatiness" can be altered by varying the PG-VG ratio; is this true?
Ok, the E roll system is an atomizer/cartridge system. Hmmmmm. Think about how much $$ you spent on that system, with it's 90mah battery, and compare to this:
COMPLETE E-POWER NOVA KIT and 30ml juice (Free priority shipping)
$57, 1000mah batteries, charger, juice mod, and two nova heads.....

No, that alters the viscosity of the juice. Harshness can come from nicotine content and flavor.
Or leaving a bottle in your hot car for a couple months.
Also, with a cartridge/atty system, you may not be getting good juice transfer to the atty.
I used this type of head for a short while. I didn't like it.
11mg/ml juice is pretty weak juice. I doubt that's the source of the problem.
Thanks for the suggestion, but I really don't see how thinking about that is going to help solve my problem! Lol.
I don't think my problem is due to the nicotine content (because 11 mg/ml is not that high), so it might be due to the flavor. I guess I should experiment with different flavors.
Also, you're saying that the only purpose of altering the PG / VG ratio is to alter the viscosity. But what's the purpose of altering the viscosity?
Indeed. I must have missed that (lack of coffee). I would have to agree with you then that this is most likely not the issue.
Many of us believe PG is a throat irritant. Some also find they have a sensitivity to PG and experience a harsh throat. I am now vaping 2 mg (down from 36 mg) and for more TH had to adjust my PG/VG ratio to 85/ 15 PG/ VG. Since adjusting the PG/ VG ratio I now have TH although I believe it's throat irritant.
Juice Components
Flavoring usually about 15%- could be higher or lower depending on the flavor used.
PG enhances flavor, TH and lung hit- water like
VG= vapor and can mute flavor- thick
Nicotine- TH, lung hit and our need for nicotine. The MOST important ingredient in regards to TH and lung hit.
Standards in the industry are 80/ 20 or 70/ 30 PG/ VG.

Thanks! I might try increasing the VG percentage at some point.
Interestingly, I feel the throatiness not when I inhale the vapor, but when I exhale it.
If you have just recently started vaping:
It does take your throat a bit to become accustom to vaping, drink plenty of water. Also, pay attention to how much liquid the atomizer is getting. If you vape on a nearly dry atomizer, it will make your throat sore.

It could if your problem is the atty drying out due to poor juice transfer from the cartridge. There is a reason why very few experienced vapers use this type of head. The reason is, because it sucks.
Also, I started out with a system that size. I found that very small batteries suck, because they are constantly going dead.
I recommend the CCV E-power system to new vapers because it's cheap, powerful and reliable. I have no interest in CCV whatsoever.
True. You might want to try out a couple other vendors. Juice is very subjective. I get my juice from smokeforpennys.com, but some folks might not like theirs for one reason or another. I can't tell you what YOU are going to like or not like.
Juice viscosity plays a role in how fast the juice wicks into the atomizer/cartomizer.
As HzG8rGr stated drink lots of water as PG and VG are humecants- they trap moisture from our mouth, throat and nasal area and thus the vapor. I drink a minimum 2 liters per day. Drinking more than 3 cups java will also bring on dehydration- same with caffeinated soft drinks.
