Harsh throat feeling
So far over my entire time vaping I have always had this issue when buying ejuice from vendors. I have tried multiple companies (Charlie noble, little big ejuice, and open source vapor, as examples) and they have all had this problem. They all give me a really harsh feeling in my throat immediately after hitting the fire button. I started diy about a month ago and I have not had this same issue. All of the e-liquid including my diy stuff is in 3mg. I've tried all of the juices on a subtank mini, an isub, a royal hunter and a tugboat and they all have the same results.

PG/VG ratio? PG has a stronger throat hit and is most likely what's giving you that sensation. Some people also have an aversion to it that can cause irritation.
On my diy stuff it's 99.7% vg base, mixed with mt baker's flavorings which if I'm not mistaken are pg based. So it comes to around 85vg/15pg. with all the others they are 70/30 but the thing is its not the pg I don't think because open source doesn't use pg and it's one of the worst of all of them.
I mean, aside from some flavoring ingredient you don't get along with that's about all there is too it. You DIY so you know, there's not a whole lot of ingredients in this stuff.
Maybe it's citrus flavorings because a lot of the really harsh one's have a citrus flavoring in them. The stuff I make doesn't have citrus in it. Toka cola and I have a lemon lime flavoring from little big e liquid and they're probably the worst.
I'm fairly new to vaping, 2 months, and ordered tons of liquid online and have about 10 or so bottles in my collection which have some form of citrus (lemon, lime, orange) and I cannot vape them as they are just too harsh for me, same as you describe. I do love citrus so that's why I bought them, so I was disappointed. I just stick to custards, creams, vanilla, fruits, cereals, etc. and all is good, I just avoid anything with a citrus component.
