Why Is My Vape Juice So Strong?

Why Is My Vape Juice So Strong

There are a few reasons why your vape juice tastes or feels too strong. One of the main reasons is that your nicotine strength is too high.

It is not uncommon to feel a burning or harsh sensation at the back of your throat when you are vaping a liquid that is too high in nicotine strength, and it will undeniably affect your vaping experience.

We have come up with a few reasons why your vape juice is so strong.

Burnt Coils

Having burnt coils is possibly the worst thing to happen to your vape. A potent burnt taste never disappears, leaving you coughing every time you inhale. There can be a number of reasons why your coils burnt out; however, if this, unfortunately, does occur, the coil or pod will need to be replaced with a fresh one.

Nicotine is too strong

You will experience a harsh throat hit if your nicotine is too strong. If you were recently a smoker and have switched to vaping, try lowering your nicotine strength However, if you need a higher strength, then we recommend vaping nicotine salts. Compared to freebase nicotine, nicotine salts offer a smoother throat hit at high strengths, such as 20mg.

Wrong Wattage on your device

Using a high wattage on your device can leave you with a sore throat. This is because using a high wattage will dictate how much vapour and nicotine you are receiving in one hit. High wattage devices are intended for high VG e-liquid and low nicotine strengths. If you use nicotine salts or high nicotine freebase e-liquid, ensure you use a low wattage if adjustable.

High PG e-liquids

High PG e-liquids are available in nicotine salts and freebase nicotine. High PG e-liquids are used with e-liquids with a high nicotine strength as they carry nicotine far better than VG. High PG e-liquids can leave you with a sore throat and, in some cases, can make you cough. If you experience any sensitivity to PG, we recommend using more VG for a more subtle throat hit.

Why Is Vape Juice So Sweet

If the vape juice you have recently purchased or made is too sweet, we recommend mixing it with a different flavour or adding a few drops of unflavored VG or PG.

If you opt for fruit and dessert flavoured e-liquids, these will generally be very sweet. It is important to get the balance right, especially if you'll be vaping this e-liquid all day. High VG e-liquids are naturally sweeter than high PG e-liquids; therefore, if you have a high VG e-liquid, then adding a few drops of unflavored  PG can unsweeten your vape juice.

Adding spicy flavours to your catalogues, such as Tobacco, Cinnamon or Aniseed, can work wonders, as well as Ice, mint and menthol flavours. If you end up mixing different flavours together, we recommend mixing in small amounts just in case it goes wrong. After all, you do not want to be left with a huge bottle of undesired vape juice.
