I have moved up from a simple ego type battery to the vv/vw itaste. My only issue is that almost every flavor has a harsh throat hit since switching over. I have the voltage set at 5 (highest it will go) and I run the wattage between 7-11 based on the flavor. Still every liquid but one has a really harsh/horrible hit. The mix is the standard 70/30 pg/vg mix @ 16-18mg nic. I was wondering if anyone had the same problem or any suggestions.
using iTaste vv with iclear16; harsh throat hit

Honestly, I bought a couple iclear16 awhile ago and did not like them at all. The dual coils seemed to boil my juices. I still think single coils are much better for flavor, plus they don't wear down your battery as fast as the dual coils. Maybe try a different clearo type like an Evod. I had better luck with the Evods for the Itaste.
Two suggestions--
One, you might be running it at too high a voltage for your e-liquids. Try turning it down a little. Two, maybe try ordering your e-liquids with a higher percentage of VG. PG contributes to throat hit a bit more than VG, and you might need a "softer" mix.

Just bought this for my partner. She had the same problem with the settings out of the box. Put a Mini unitank on it which comes with a cool little chart for how high your watts and volts should be depending on the ohm.
Once I matched that up, she's been enjoying.
Just to second fernicus, I think you should drop it down to 4v.

5 volts is probably too high. Lower the voltage, or the watts. Whichever mode you are vaping in.
Thank you everyone, I read online when I first got it that I needed the 5 volts because it was a dual-coil tank, but I guess they are wrong. I just lowered it to 3.8-4.2 and I can actually taste all my flavors, not just the burnt, horrible, throat-hit. Thanks everyone.
Thank you so much fernicus for listing your actual numbers for the same machine. It helped me out so much.
I run my mods in watts and play around with the heat until I find what tastes best to me, the charts are only suggestions, everyones taste will be different.

Your VV will tell you what resistance your tank is, and then you can get a ballpark for the range on that chart. iClear 16's are 2.0ohms, which means you really don't want to go over 4.0 (or 8 watts) - and as you've found, 3.8-4.0 is a good spot for most juices in that tank.
Of course, charts are ballpark, some juices need more "oomph" to get the flavor out, some are more subtle. Some change flavors over a range of power, and all are good.
