Too harsh

[sjem]

Hi!

I'm vaping with a Janty eGo that I bought couple of months ago. Back when I started out I bought 2 20ml juices - 12 & 16 mg of nico. (not sure who the supplier was)
Anyways, I ran out & I ordered 2 30ml juices from Liberty Flights. (apple & cola, both 18 mg) and vaping them just hurts. I mean, my throat get's sore after the first couple of puffs. I really can't feel the taste & it's hard to enjoy vaping like this lol.
Anyways, what should I do? Cut it with VG, pure water etc?

Thanks in forward!

Try VG. When I first began vaping, I noticed something similar. It was intermittent, and wouldn't last more than a couple days. after about a month or so, that went away. I vaped VG in the interim, and am back on PG now, with no ill effects. Not sure if it's something your body just has to get used to. Also, try a lower nic.

My advice, so you can still get some use out of the 18mg you bought, is buy the same or a similar (something that would go well together) flavor in VG, say, 8mg. If you mix them 50/50, that'll yield 13mg. Do a small batch, and see if it's any better. If not, try adding more VG.

Thanks man, I'll go for the VG approach. By the way I actually tried cutting w/ some pure distilled water as well & it definitely made the vapor more soft to the throat.

EDIT: You guys should make a "Thanks" button or something Would be a great add-on to the forums.

Yep, bet it's the PG. I can't vape it either. Makes me itch. Try more VG. You can cut it down some but remember that it will weaken the flavor also.

It's probably the nic level. I've got a couple juices (not LF) that are 24 mg, and it's just too much nic when the "throat hit" is more like a "throat kick" and you find that it overpowers the flavor.

I've kind of accidentally discovered the same thing that Imyoursalt was talking about - taking another flavor with a much lower nic level and mixing it with the higher nic to get something in the middle.

Same here. I ordered 0 mg from one vendor that had juice that I loved in past orders, but it didn't do anything for me (for some reason, it tasted reaaaaally watered down). So I bought the same stuff in a high mg, and mix it up to my liking.

For me the high nic and/or the pg bothers me. I can vape 12mg with a 70/30 vg/pg split. It seems when I use a higher nic or more pg my throat starts to hurt after just a few pulls.
