If you can, lower the nicotine a couple of MGs. You can also switch to a higher VG mix, but it won`t carry flavor as well
What device are you using?
Can you estimate how much liquid you have been using per day?
Do you direct/lung inhale or do you fill your mouth first and then inhale?
Have you been drinking extra liquids to compensate for the drying effects of vaping?
Too much nic will make you nauseous and dizzy. You will know if you are using more then you should.
When I first started vaping, I was hitting it like a cigarette; Hard, fast, deep. I got many burnt hits (queefing Ego-C) and was still jonsing for a cig. I watched a few vids (Igetcha69 et al.) and did what they did.
Slower, longer, mouth draw, exhale thru nose and mouth for better flavor and more surface area for nicotine absorption = happy new vaper.
Good luck
Have fun

Make sure that you keep whatever you're using saturated with ejuice. Don't wait to refill it until it's all gone. You may be experiencing dry hits.
Good luck.

I'm going to say it's not the Nic that is making your throat a bit sore...how much water are you drinking per day? Around day three is when I could really tell just how much Vaping can dry you out...including making your throat feel off. You are supposed to drink LOTS of water every day on account of it...I have been drinking over 8 bottles of water a day...took a few days of me doing that to get my throat back right.
Also, what is your juice? What PG/VG?

the golden rule- hydrate. the more you drink the less your throat will bother you. it goes kinda like this. vape, drink, pee, live longer. . i miss the glory days of throat hits. rare occurrence these days. really have to be vaping at high voltage, but ruins taste.if that doesn't help. reduce your dosage. trial and error.
I'm using the Halo g6. I inhale in my mouth first like a cigarette, exhaling both out the nose and mouth because it tastes and smells so damn good lol. I only have tribeca in prefilled carts so I have nothing to top them off with. I haven't really ran the cartomizer dry yet as it still produces lots of vapor and the taste hasn't depreciated.
I usually have a glass of water beside me but I'm not constantly drinking out of it. Unless I work out or play sports that day, I may go through 3 giant glasses of water.
I don't think Halo gives the PG/VG stats

I also agree with the suggestion of hydrating...
PG and VG are humectants...
A humectant is a substance used primarily in foods and cosmetic products to help retain moisture. These substances are called hygroscopic, which means that they are able to absorb ambient water. These hygroscopic compounds posses a chemical structure that attracts water from the atmosphere and binds it to various sites along the molecule.
When we inhale PG/ VG it "traps" the moisture in our mouth, throat and nasal area and thus the vapor. The real problem arises when the body is dehydrated and begins "stealing" moisture from other parts of the body to keep key organs hydrated. Add to that more than 3 cups of java or caffeine based soda drinks and severe dehydration can occur. Ask any chemist and they will tell you the same. I drink 2+ liters of water per day and no more than 3 cups Java per day.

A pre-filled carto should be about the same as 4-5 cigarettes. If you are not refilling or topping up with e juice,then they are burning.
Estimate 30-50 drags and then switch to a new carto . Once a cart is burnt...IS DEAD.
If you like to try other flavors in pre-fills, your G6 will work with Smokelessimage, bloog,V4L,Cig20 and any KR808D1 cartomizers/clearomizers atomizer devices. The actual Kanger horizontal coil KR808d1 cartomizer is a fantastic blank/empty for self filling.
Good luck

Being new to vaping (16 days w/o an analog) too I found that plenty of water, slow hits and a good PG/PV works best for me. Worst thing you can do is try and smoke it like a real cig.

Is there a way I can take the cotton out even it is messes the carto up just to see if its burnt or not? I've heard a burnt carto tastes bad but I haven't tasted anything bad yet. Just popped on a new carto and it does taste stronger but not that different
Another thought is that you're sensitive to PG. PG especially can feel rough on the throat - for myself, I cough up a lung on every inhale and my throat feels raw, so I've gone VG only. I can tolerate some PG ratio in the mix for awhile but then I get the above.
If you want to check it out, go to your local pharmacy store and buy some glycerin (VG) (moisturizing products? first aid products?) and try it on its own. See if you have any reaction.
Having said that, some folk also have an aversion to VG. There's plenty of vendors with plenty of PG/VG ratio/only options. Maybe buy some small samples to try them out. Good luck.

PG% may be higher then your body likes, or the nicotene level.
You could add some VG to that eliquid, just 1 or 2 mill to that Halo bottle and give it a few good shakes. Problem solved!

Usually means the nicotine is too high for your throat, I started out at 18 mg, and it it was harsh for a little while but then I got used to it now I'm at 11mg and its perfect, but oh man I tried 16 mg Blue Water Punch from Volcano it killed my throat.
First, taking the filling out of a cartomizer is easy. It's getting it back in that is difficult (impossible?).
I have both a setup with battery (3.6-4.2V) as well as a usb pass-through (5V). When using the pass-through, the vapor is stronger, tastier and also gives a stronger throat hit. Perhaps you should consider a variable-voltage device which is more elegant way to change the voltage/power to the cartomizer (I'm waiting for mine in the mail).
I've also found that Halo juices are strong with a pretty high throat hit. (and, very tasty.) Certainly, you might consider some other brands/flavors which are bit milder for those 'rough days'
However, I think the best advice precedes my post -- and I've read this many places now -- keep yourself well hydrated, sore throat or not. Vaping does suck the water out of your system.

All things i've heard were lower the PG amount, lower your nicotine amount, and something I personally do is do the two stage inhale like I was smoking a lefty-cig as opposed to a straight cigarette inhale.
i feel your pain, i smoke newports so when i was ordering e-liquid i went with the highest nic count, 24mg. it was so harsh i couldnt even inhale it haha. my next order of e-liquids i have coming are all 12mg 40-60vg hopefully ill have better results.
