There's a few different kind of ego batteries, can you adjust the voltage on yours? Is it a ego-c or ego twist?

I think you might be sensitive to pg like me. You should try 70%vg/30%pg, You can try up to 80%vg but you might have problems with that tank and battery since the juice will be really thick,

One more thing are you inhaling direct to lungs or mouth and then lungs?

When using nicotine e juice the more PG the more the TH caused by nicotine will be amplified and more with higher levels of nicotine, using a juice with higher or high VG will lessen the TH.

PG will give you more of a dry feel since PG is not a good vapor producer, but is meant for TH and a better flavor carrier than VG.

A lot of people are sensitive to the ingredients in e-lquid. For many it's the pg, for some it the vg, but it can also be the flavorings. There are some flavors I just can't handle. Nicotine itself is harsh too and sometimes the juice flavor doesn't mix with it very well. I find it has a peppery taste. Vendors use different recipes, so one's 12mg orange may be fine and another's my your throat hurt. So what if the guy at the vape store said there was nothing wrong with it? You didn't like it, that's what matters.

You may not have been a menthol smoker, but vaping isn't the same as smoking and in the beginning new vapers often find juices with menthol, mint or "Koolada" (sometime called a Cold Shot or Cool Hit) refreshing and more satisfying; especially, since it can be difficult to taste complex flavors until your taste buds and sense of smell have time to heal from years of amoking.

you may be sensitive to PG... I have issues with PG, causes throat irritation and coughing... I went to 100VG juices ( Heathers Heavenly Vapes) and no longer have the problems with throat irritation ....
also, hi nicotine levels can lead to harsh vaping for some people. Some possible ideas would include going to a 100VG juice, lowering the nic, and finding a smoother flavor. Some flavors like menthol, citrus, cinnamons can be a bit rough to handle..

and.... lowering the watts/volts can help too
 
Yea the guy at the shop was a bit of a jerk i think it had something to do with the fact i was a girl and there where only guys in there but that's a different story.

I use to smoke Newport menthol i did realize i made a mistake by going straight to a fruit flavor instead of something similar to menthol that's why i tried the ry4 i'm pretty sure i would like it if it wasn't for the throat hit.
