too much throat hit! help please...

[Amiles]

ok, so I made my own e liquid for the first time. I did really good with the flavors, however the throat hit is too much, its actually giving me a sore throat. I used a vg based nicotine at 48mg, and pg. i used this eJuice Recipe Calculator to cut it to 14mg (70% 30% before adding any flavor). It's a little runnier than the ready to vape liquid I've gotten from suppliers, so I'm scared to add more pg. Any tips?

Oh, not sure if this helps, but I got all my DIY stuff from http://eliquidstore.co.uk/index.php?osCsid=967d6048f8ca6f25e09fee1fa48c23f9 <<<<<that place

pg adds throat hit vg dulls it. if you add more vg it should calm your throat and thicken your juice at the same time

after 2 years vaping VG it is giving me an enormous TH, it could be a reaction

Since my vg is the one with the nicotine in it, would adding a little more vg raise the nic level a lot? I tried 18mg before and it was too strong for me.

you can get plain vg with no nicotine locally more than likely. I prefer to get mine at the health food store but you can get it at Walmart, or any pharmacy. It will likely say glycerin if you go to Walmart (I think it is under the Humco name there). If you add plain it will lower the nicotine so you would have to mix it in the correct ratio with your 48mg to get the same 14mg level.

Amiles,

If you add VG and it still hurts your throat, try ordering a small bottle of Nic from XtremeVaping to see if that helps. Their nic is flavorless and crystal clear in color and has nothing in it that makes me cough! I've got 375ml of Nic juice from 3 other companies that I can't use because it is so harsh on my throat! The nic juice does matter greatly in our recipes.

Awesome thank you Silkakc! My flavors are really good, but I have got to get rid of that pain or it just won't be worth it. Thanks!!
