Throat hit too harsh

[Magikhat]

Hello I really need some advice
I buy ejuice online but some juices are fine on my throat and others are too harsh and hurt my throat

I’m using a vapresso gen s with wotofo serpent ii mod

is there something I can add to store/online bought ejuice to soothe the throat hit ? I believe all the juices are 70vg/30pg. I know higher PG means stronger throat hit. Maybe i just need to buy max vg juices?

but really if there is some kind of thing I could add to the juice to fix it that would be better. The reason is I buy ejuice online and I don’t want to throw away and waste money just because of the throat hit.
Any suggestions ??

what nic level?

@Magikhat, it could be too high a Nicotine level that you're using and or Flavouring that could be making things harsh for you.

I don't know if a very small amount of Distilled Water may help or not though, but a drop or 2 added to a tank may well be worth a try?

You could try smooth nicotine salts, if your nicotine level is high? PG certainly has a throat hit, so I could see max VG or 90VG working. Etc. You will have to experiment.

Flavors can play a role, or even the type of nicotine a vendor is using if you are ordering multiple types of eliquid from different vendors.

Good luck. Experiment!

I am using 6mg nicotine
I do have some tfa smooth. Would that help maybe. The juice I’m using is lemonade. I would buy the nicotine salt juice but at $10 for 30ml i feel like
That’s a rip off

Alternatively, try lowering the coil in your Wotofo Serpent II.

Raising a coil in an RTA will give you a stronger TH. Lowering the coil provides a weaker TH.

Experiment with the height.

Good luck

Citrus flavors are harsh for me.

I never heard of the wotofo serpent II tank nor can I even find a picture of it.

There seems to be several Serpent RTAs and RDAs. Personally, I would love to try the Serpent Elevate RTA

 

[vaper1960]

I don't think 70VG/30PG would give too much "throat hit" and 6 mg nic isn't very strong so I'm guessing it's the citrus flavor (which may also have citric acid) Have you had issues with any other juices?

 

[UncLeJunkLe]

There seems to be several Serpent RTAs and RDAs.

Yes there are. I only have the serpent mini. It's one hell of a flavor RTA and a very smooth hit (almost too smooth).

But can't find the serpent II. I have a feeling OP might mean the serpent elevate.

Sorry everyone got the name wrong I am using the serpent elevate rta.
Forgot to mention I typically vape at 22 watts and I tried turning this down to 15 and up to 50. Just testing to see if that would make a difference. Lower watts only helped slightly but not enough
It could just be the flavorings used. I usually only vape fruit flavors. The coil is positioned very low so I think we have ruled out nicotine strength, and coil height. It doesn’t happen with every juice so it could be some flavoring in certain juices or it could be the vg/pg. I will make my own juice try to get it around 85-90vg and see if that helps. If it does fix it then when I buy juice online I’ll only look for max vg. I was really hoping to just add something to my store bought Juice to soothe the throat hit. Could I add vg to this juice I have now? That wouldn’t ruin it right ?

 

[vaper1960]

For really high VG, add a very small amount of distilled water (5%) You can add VG to your current juice... it will just be weaker nic strength. I really doubt PG is the problem (although some people have issues with it) By the way, you can buy VG at any drug store (make sure it says USP) just to try some now but it is expensive (for the small amount you get) compared to ordering larger amounts.
Does your RTA ever "spit" or "gurgle"? It's possible you are getting some juice juice in your mouth (not just vapor) That will taste nasty because of the nicotine (not so much with 6 mg but 12 mg is very noticeable... I once was mixing with some 48 mg nic and licked the drop off the edge after pouring it... won't ever do that again!)

 

[Magikhat]

This tank is smooth as can be. No spit, gurgle or pops . I’ll try to add a few ml of vg. I make my own juice sometimes so I have plenty of vg around. Thanks

 

[stols001]

Adding VG to the juice won't "ruin" it. The flavor may be slightly diluted but actually you might find you like that. Unless you are adding VG nic base of the same strength the nicotine strength may go down some but since you are having harshness issues, again, you might like that.

When I started to fill harsh throat hit I would lover my nicotine level.
And that is how I end up with 8 mg starting with 36mg 11.5 years ago.

Your body is telling you something...

 

[vaper1960]

The juice I’m using is lemonade.

What specific lemonade is it?
