Sorry, my lack of upbringing coming to the fore. Hello Travs and welcome to the Good Ship Lollipotv.
Most start off with tobacco flavours as being a smoker it's natural to see some of the more extreme flavours as being unnatural. As has been said, give some RY4 or even RY3 flavours ago to start from the aforementioned vendors to see how you get on. That will give you time to settle in with a device and juice to your liking before you venture into the more exotic flavours.
You saying you didn't get much of a throat hit with 30mg juice leads me to believe the guy had well turned down or not set up properly because if you use a mod with well set up Ithaca or KFL atty, believe you me you will definitely get a seriously good throat hit. One that could well have you coughing and spluttering.
Getting the right set up is as important as differing flavours and when you're ready, you only have to ask and advice will be readily forthcoming.
Welcome to the end of stinkies and a new fresher, healthier and cleaner life.
