What were my parents doing wrong?

What I've noticed with smokers who come from so-called lights or super-lights is they can't handle the throat hit of e-cigs as their analogues don't really have any throat hit at all. 'Lights' smokers also tend to inhale much deeper and smoke more a day than someone coming from strong analogues.

I know it from my own experience switching from Swiss and French brands which have a rough hit but actually not that much nicotine. When I smoked I never inhaled very deeply as they feel like they make your lungs implode. Speaking for myself I'm sometimes struggling with the opposite, ie. getting enough throat hit.

Umm, didn't most of us cough the first time we tried real cigarettes. How about the first time you tried an e-cig. I know I did.

Sure, yes to both!
I still get an occasional cough from the ecig...

I read somewhere that there are "smoothers" in cigarettes that prevent the coughing by partially paralyzing some throat muscles. These smoothers are not in the nicquid so we get the full reaction.
I am sorry but in the past year I have done SO much research that I cannot remember every source

The reason I am inclined to believe it though, is that if I smoked a cigarette made of pure tobacco, I would cough, while smoking commercial brands I never did.

I agree with everyone else that you get around it by drawing differently, there is no doubt that is the "fix" but its nice to know that there is also a real reason that you need to, not because its "stronger" or "harsher" but because its yet another chemical you are avoiding.

Unfortunately, I was one of those people who didn't cough when I lit my first analog. (The coughing came a quarter of a century later.)

Fortunately, I was also one who didn't cough when I tried a PV for the first time.

I'd say don't go for the big vapor cloud at first. Suck gently as if it were a straw. When you have a little in your mouth, inhale. You don't get as much of the flavor of the liquid that way, but that can wait for a few minutes. By the time they're ready to refill their carts for the first time they'll have the hang of it and can start going for bigger puffs.

While looking for Mega parts on Health Cabin I seen they also carry the Mega PCC in black and silver. I have not seen anyone else carry the Mega PCC.

Just noticed our quit dates are the same. Hey quit buddy!

Ah, I didn't know that there was a mega PCC. I never shop on the Chinese sites, only because I don't wanna wait a month before I get my stuff. We did quit at the same time, lol. I have a quit buddy! *jumps up and down*

If it's someone I know i have them take a long double drag...that tends to ease the harshness of the first drag, but it seems that the kick and tendency of others to cough makes them realize that the pv could actually work for them, so I don't want to avoid them coughing...
