too much throat hit....need help

[bowyorang]

Hey everyone! Got a newb question. I just received my new ego c twist and some liquid from mnt vapor baker. I ordered several blends at PG 80% VG 20%. I haven't steeped them. I am getting a huge throat hit. Too much for me, in fact. Is it that I haven't steeped it or is it something else? Maybe the PG/VG %? I don't smoke analogs so I am not use to a throat hit. I do smoke a hookah almost every day but it has very little if any throat hit at all. Any help?
Thanks!

What nicotine milligram strength did you get?

From my understanding the more PG percentage the bigger the throat hit. Nicotine levels also contribute to the throat hit. What level nic did you order?

Are you drawing into your mouth then inhaling, or just inhaling straight into your lungs?
Have you tried 100% PG or VG by itself to see if it could be one of those?

I got the 18mg/ml. I am use to quit a bit from the hookah, but it may be that it is cooled with it before inhaling....
I've tried it both ways but seems a little less with just drawing into the mouth and then allowing into my lungs.

Could be a number of things, most usually it is the nicotine strength and the PG level.

80pg, for me, is ridiculously way to much PG. I prefer not to have more then 50% PG, and most of the juices I end up really liking are 20-30%PG and the rest VG.

Also the nic level. FOR SMOKERS, say a pack a day, generally 18mg is where ya start. I was a two pack a day smoker and 18mg was good for me, but Im starting to use lower nic levels because the atomizers I use are very good at vaporing the liquid to where I dont really need the 18mg. I just started doing that tho, I still have a lot og 18mg juice.

But I digress.

we need to know the nic level of your juice. But even without that, I can tell you, get less PG. If you're ordering from Mt Baker vapor, thjey have plenty of customization. Get a couple different blends. 65-35 is pretty close to "common", but so is 50-50. Also get some 20-80 and their "max" VG. See what you like.

cool! Thanks for the suggestions! I will definitely that. I will probably hold off till the black Friday sale and order a few different things. It probably is the combination of things. Newb mistakes I guess!
