New vaper, not sure

[Silver11]

Got myself a starter kit and some 50/50 minty liquid. Now the only other time I’ve tried vaping was a friends vape - banana flavour. Took a puff and it nearly took my throat out. So I kind of expected similar, but no, more of a meh slight mint / fresh air thing. Ended up buying myself a pack of ciggies at the weekend.
Do I need to increase the pg (or vg). And is it possible to do that with a starter kit?

What starter kit did you buy?
Which liquid? Which brand?
What nic content did you go for?
If we can get a bit more info then will be able to suggest options for you or its somewhat guesswork.
The two most likely things are the device or he had a powerful one with the wattage set high and the nic content.

what nic level is is?

Ah I had nicotine free, is that why?
It’s a joyetech ego e10, wizz menthol 0 nicotine.
I was trying to stay off the nicotine

I probably recommend something more robust and with more body than a solo mint flavour too.

yeah that will be it.... as a long term smoker anything under 12mg tastes like fresh air to me.

There's no point in trying to stay off the nicotine if it's gonna send you straight back to smoking, that's ridiculous.

If you are trying to quit ciggies then you are gonna need nicotine. I've been quit over 6 months now and I use 12mg. The throat hit will be the nicotine level so be worth asking your friend what level his was and maybe going down a bit if that was too harsh. As just said above I'd maybe look at more than just a menthol too.

Nothing stopping you going to a pound shop type shop, buying 88vape eliquid and vaping that. I can highly recommend any of their menthol based juices.

There are reviews of some of their others in the review section.

Why did you go for zero mg nicotine?

 

[Silver11]

Ok thanks. As I’m only a light smoker (0-5 a day) and I can go days without any quite often, I don’t feel I’m addicted to nicotine which is why I didn’t want to have it in a vape. But if it’s nicotine that gives that throat hit then I guess I’ll have to have some.

try some of this in 12mg

It's only a fiver for 3 bottles, it's pretty nice and my mate quit using just this liquid.
