Vaping flavor

[sharon16]

Hi haven't been on here for a number of years due to happily vaping away 
But a few years ago i fell off the vaping wagon as it hit a bump in the road 
I have been trying to switch back to vaping but it is becoming a real nightmare as it isn't working like it did before and i am in need of Real HELP now 
This is the short version of my journey so far, get a cuppa get comfy here we go 
As i said i switched to vaping back in 2012 i think it was that worked instantly and was happy for 5 years then, i have copd (lung disease) so smoking is a very dangerous pastime for me but vaping seemed to be fine as i managed to come off the neutralizer i was using to aid my breathing and go on a regular inhaler so was very happy, the way i managed vaping with dodgy lungs was to do normal every day but when i noticed i was starting to cough more i would reduce the nicotine level down ( Joose Juice make my liquids for me as they worked with me to achieve the perfect mix as PG can irate my lungs so it has to be on the low side) 
i was doing fine got down to about 6mg nic level then it all went wrong i could no longer taste the flavor and the cravings started (it took 5 yrs so not so bad ) but i couldn't settle anymore on ecigs as couldn't increase the nic mg and couldn't stay as it was so ended up back on the ciggy's 
I have been trying for a while now to get back onto vaping as my lungs are getting worse & i know if i can do it my lungs will settle down again but the issues i am having is mainly i can't taste any flavor.
i am using a Aspire Zelos on 6.5 watt with a airflow adjuster?
I use a liquid mix of 30pg / 70 vg mix that is made up for me.
i have been told i need to turn up the watt but if i go any higher i can't cope with it and have a real coughing fit which results in me not being able to breath properly due to not breathing when you cough too much.
I recently bought a Septre Innokin to try but that was awful way too powerful for me so that is a definite no no.
I know the flavor is related to the strength of PG but i can only cope with the strength that i can cope with nothing i can do about it so my thought is maybe i need to go back to basics kit wise and get something that isn't as powerful while my lungs get used to it again?  i used to use a vape pen i think it was called the tank had the wicks you replaced not sure if they are still around anymore though or the best place to buy kits from so any advice on that would be brilliant?
IF anyone reads this and can understand what i am trying to achieve please feel free to pm me .
THANKS for taking the time to read this rather long story but i thought if i could give as much detail as possible it may help

Hi sharon16 and welcome back to AAEC

i cant help much with the pg affecting you side of things but while you wait for others to advise heres a couple of options.

i initally first gave up the smokes with the blu pro pen back in 2015 but since found a better pen type that uses 1.6ohm dual coil. i know its going backwards after using the zelos which was similar to my second kit (istick30 and nautilus mini) but its worth a shot www.amazon.co.uk/s?k=vapouriz+fuse&i=drugstore&ref=nb_sb_noss_1 only problem is that this will need 50vg/50pg and if you are allergic/intolerent to pg then maybe not the right move.

i have no idea how you are getting any flavour only using 6.5watts especially as using 70vg juice as that is quite thick for the low watt mouth to lung coils.

another option is nic salts which come in 10mg or 20mg. they are much smoother than standard nicotine and give a faster nic hit so you dont need as much. i think these are mainly 50vg/50pg but might not aggrivate as much. only tried a few but 20mg feels like 3mg to me but chain vaping is a nono as you will get a head rush much quicker.
hope that helps in some small way and hopefully others will be along to advise further.

Hi MrDJ thank for response, i have heard about the nic salts before any idea of the best site to find them please? when you say 20mg feels like a 3mg are you referring to the nic mg? i would be willing to give almost anything a try at this time lol

[MrDJ]

they are a lot stronger in nic strength but feel smooth to the taste and throat like you are vaping a low normal nicotine strength similar to 3mg but you get the nic hit a lot quicker so you dont need to vape as much.

a good starting point was dinner lady when i first tried nic salts.
