So I bought an Ego starter kit from Vaporcaststore. Kit came with no instructions. So after putting some drops into cartomizer and letting soak for a bit, I do not get alot of vapor from cig. Also the throat hit is killing me. I have blueberry e-liquid at 12mg nicotine. Was trying to get a little help as to what I may be doing wrong. My wife has tried it also and she can't even use is because is hurts her throat. So, any help would be appreciated.

Here's a way to properly fill a cartomizer. Hopefullly you haven't ruined that one, but you might have. After you start tasting a really bad taste, you'll never get that out. Sounds like you didn't completely fill the carto, so here's a good tutorial on how to do that. Hang in there! You'll get it and be very happy you did!

Do you know the ratio of PG to VG in your e-juice? The higher the PG, the higher the throat hit. Many out there re 80/20 or 70/30, and that may be too much PG for you. Try to find something at 50/50 - lots of places let you choose the ratio. You may even want to try an all-VG juice which means lower throat hit and lots of vapor.

Another problem may be how you're vaping. You can't do it like you're smoking a cigarette. Take long, slow pulls and hold the vape in your mouth before inhaling. Try it and see if that helps.
