Why am I getting a sore throat?

[RicModMaker]

I dunno if it's the case for you, but as a new vaper I've found I really need to up my intake of water to avoid a dry mouth and sore throat. Basically, the vapour absorbs the moisture in your mouth and throat, and then of course you blow it out. So if none of the more technical fixes above work, perhaps try hydrating a bit more regularly?

I found that too. At least 2 pints of water needed in the day.

Sounds like you are getting dry hits! Adjust the airflow if possible, make sure your wicks are wet and delivering the juice to the coil and if you are on VV/VW, lower it.

it helps a bit if i have it on 7.5 watts any lower it wont burn the vg

Don't know what it is with the protank 2 but both myself and a vape buddy had this with the device. One day was perfectly smooth and cool at 4v next had to drop it down to 3.4v to be bearable. It's interesting you are getting it from 2 different heads but as it's 100% vg it could be a wicking problem. With the original protank you had to remove one of the top flavour wicks, (there are 2 that sit on top of the coil) try removing one when you disassemble it give it a quick dry burn clean too.

Do you have any other tanks to try, may help see if it is simply the tank or another issue

i drink my 2litres a day of water and robinsons juice do any of you think the vg alone is drying my throat because ive noticed the cappucino caramel i vaped didnt hurt and thats 60pg 40vg and the nuclear plusion is 70pg 30vg and these dont hurt and when i started vaping the mist virginia i was smoking was ok and that was 80pg 20vg - i just went with vg because i got a free sample and thought it tasted good but now ive found that pg gives more flavour so i might try getting a 60-40 mix

MrPT ive tried removing the flavour wicks that made it worse

I used to smoke 40 full strength super kings a day as some of you know i quit just over a month ago and now most juice im trying seems to hurt on the inhale like somebody drop kicking me in the chest and slamming a hammer into the back of my throat.
I was on 18mg and dropped down to 12mg 100%vg from @bestcigliquid but still its getting me in the throat.
cigs never did this and i dont wanna go back but i cant get a good vape on anything.
Im using a zmax and kanger protank 2

Got to be worth a try!!

thanks KulrMeStoopid i think im getting the dry throat so im gonna try a 70/30 pg/vg or 60/40

I have a feeling it's down to the 100% vg, and a natural evolution of the body now it's healing from no longer smoking.
You have tried other juices so it doesn't appear to be the device per se, it still could be but Atleast you got other juices to go with and stop the return to cigs.
