I use a 96%VG liquid in my Vivi and do not have a problem with them not getting along. The best thing about e cigs is it is all personal preference. the battery you have will work but you may find more satisfaction with a stronger mAh battery. Enjoy the ride!!!
Which resistance coil did you start with? try switching out to a new coil and see if the sensation is the same. I use 100% VG in my vivi and notice a harsh sensation if the 1.8 is in and my twist is above 4.2V. I missed pages 2 and 3 before i posted. Glad it is resolved.
Keep me updated on future Vape meet ups. I would like to meet other vapers in the area. I found vaporsearchusa.com and there are many stores for me to visit.
