Another newbie

[TeriAnn]

Thought I had better pop in and say hello.

I was told about this forum by a member Southern Vaper, who told me you where a good bunch Been vaping for a cpl of weeks, but only for the last week with any real conviction. I have a standard battery with pro tank 2 tanks. Using a few juices (unsure if I can use brand names but when I say what I use, I think you will know lol) unicorns blood (1.2) dragons tempest (1.8) cola kisses (1.1) and a chocolate and mint that someone made up for me.
I am finding however, that I am coughing a lot, throat hit? and have been reading a bit about this, could it be that I need a higher VG mix? Yeah that has confused me somewhat. I know the VG and PG are the base mix stuff, but other than that, not a clue..

Look forward to getting to know a few of you and hopefully getting some good advice and support from you guys and girls

Hello and welcome. I tgink it's ok to use brand names. PG & VG are what makes the "smoke" effect. The PG however carries the flavour better than the VG and contributes to the throat hit whereas the VG gives off more vapour and isn't as harsh on the throat. I like a good balance. I mix my own juices mainly at a 50/50 ratio.

I agree go for a 50/50 blend and welcome

Thanks very much Clint. I think its finding that balance the suits me. Trial and error I guess

Hi @TerriAnn! Welcome to the Planet!

You can indeed mention brand names

Most definitely a trial and error thing! Just remember to take slow longer draws on your ecig - don't pull to hard to fast (ooer!) like you would have done with a real cigarette.
I remember my first drag on my ecig and I think I coughed up half a lung!!

Also - you will be coughing more as your lungs start to recover from your smoking, so don't be too alarmed!

LOL Sassy that really could have looked soooooooooo wrong Thanks for the welcome, I have been looking around the site and found a very interesting thread already. I have found that I am getting a very dry throat with it too, not sore just dry.. More beer me thinking!!!

I remember trying my first ecig, you know them things that look like fags.. OMG I think I nearly died.. One drag on that and I was straight back to the cigs... I should point out that I do have a lung problem (COPD) so giving up really is my only option and this has got to work one way or another.
