I got my e-cig yesterday and started using it. I cut down how many real smokes I had and used the e-cig instead. But this morning I woke up with a sore throat. Ofcourse I am blaming the e-cig for this. Am I smoking it too much? Maybe I am doing it wrong. Or is this completely normal when first starting? I feel like giving up but I don't know what else to do to help me quit smoking.Very new to this.

What level of nicotine are you using? I started with 36mg by mistake and it was almost so strong that I couldn't take it because it KILLED my throat and made me cough.. Try lowering the nic a little if you feel that it may be too high. But, there is a learning curve. Keep at it and by day 3 or 4 if you haven't grown used to it yet, you may need to try a higher VG (vegetable glycerin) content. Propylene Glycol (PG) gives a much stronger throat hit. Alot of people find a good ratio of around 30% VG / 70% PG.
I am using 0 nicotine, and do already drink alot of water. I bought my juice from the same place online I got my e-cig. should I be looking somewhere else for juice or is there a way to make my own?
I've found that you almost (ALMOST) can't buy your hardware and juice from the same vendor and be satisfied with both. Seems to be a big downfall for most. :/ There is one exception though, vapor4life has pretty decent juice and their batts are OK, but their cartos are probably one of the best you can get. They supply KR808D-1 stuff, which is probably the second most popular model of e-cig users (510 is most likely #1) and the combo of their stuff together is just awesome.
Make sure you are getting your atomizer properly wet. If you are vaping it dry you may not realize you're burning the juice. It may be hard to tell since you are still smoking. Also if you are using pg juice it can be a bit harsh. Try a juice that has some VG in it. Oh and water water water. Gotta drink water.
