vapor question

[canes52]

hey guys, new e cig user here. i am a 1/2-1 pack a day smoker. i just got there v9 defender. i m currently vaping 16mg redbull. i am finding the vapor is too harsh. i get a numbness/tingling feeling on my tongue and back of throat when taking a hit. i want to place an order with gourmet vapor, but need to find the blend that is best for me. i was thinking of a 70/30,60/40 or even a 50/50 pg vg blend and also doing 12mg, hoping this will fix my problems im having. right now i feel the vapor is not as smooth as a marlboro light which i currently smoke. i am trying to quit but it is extra hard when i am not having a pleasant vaping experience. do you guys think it is smart to lower my nic from 16 to 12 mg? also which pg/vg combo is best based on my needs? what do you guys think is causing my harsh vapor hits and tingling feeling i am experience? sorry if i am rambling on but its getting a little late a night for me. thanks in advance everyone!

after doing some evaluating today, i am also noticing i am taking big hits and from what i read this shouldnt be the case because an e cig is diff than an analog. i guess i may be having too much nic from the vapor absorbing in my mouth causing that peppery taste i am experiencing possibly? i think i may be on the right track but am still looking for some input please.

You might want to add a few drops of VG (get it from WalMart) which will help dilute the juice some. You will also need to "get use to/adjust" to the PG in the juice. It seems that many(including me) had to get use to the juice. It took me 3 days.
Try not to inhale like you would a cig at first. Just "mouth" inhale and not throat inhale for a day or two.

do you know the brand name this vg is under?

The VG from Wal-Mart is the Humco brand. Make sure that it says USP on the bottle. It's also going to say it's a skin protectant, but it's the right stuff. You can find it in the Pharmacy area.
