Some people just can't handle all the "steam" or thick vapor from high wattage and vg, feels too "thick" going down the throat. A lot of the time, adjusting to a new mixture can caught some gagging and coughing. Also, nicotine content plays a key role in the mixture. The higher the nicotine, the better the chances for adverse reactions.
How do I Stop Myself from gagging when vaping?
"Pulsing" the fire button will allow you to inhale some cooler ambient air along with the warmer vapor and the mix may alleviate the gagging response. Alternatively, take shorter draws with your first vaping session.
Why do I throw up when I vape?
Throwing up when (or after) vaping is, -as Elssa says-, a very good sign that you’re Overdosing on Nic. Not that that’s a bad thing in itself (apart from the nausea and possible mess you have to clean up if you’re going ‘all the way’) but because its a clear indication that Nicotine is self-regulating.
Why do I gag when I press the fire button?
I'm guessing that the gush of warm vapor is triggering your gag reflex when it hits the back of your throat. "Pulsing" the fire button will allow you to inhale some cooler ambient air along with the warmer vapor and the mix may alleviate the gagging response.

That does seem extreme. Have you tried switching up juice at all? Would ask what wicking material you're using but you have a nautilus so I assume you're using their heads. When it happens is it because of a bad taste? Or does it just feel like a reaction from your body? Not really enough info in the op to make any kind of diagnosis

I also assume you have changed the head on your nautilus to see if that helps....

Try a new juice. Maybe Halo has added something new to their juices that you aren't aware of. Try a new juice vendor.

You might try adding some glycerin into your tank. Eases the throat hit. Perhaps dialing down the volts would help as well

Just my 2 cents, but it could be because your throat might be a bit dried out. I don't gag, but if my throat's dry when I vape, my uvula (dangly little ball in the back of the throat) gets stuck and makes it hard to swallow. Try sipping water while vaping and see if that helps.

Tried anywhere from 2.9 to 5 volts, and several new heads, as well as 3 different vendors. If it isn't gagging, it's irritation in my throat.
WHY DO YOU COUGH WHEN YOU VAPE?
Coughing is one common side effect of vaping and it’s one that can knock you back, completely ruin the experience and make you stop vaping. If every time you inhale, it feels like the back of your throat is becoming irritated and tickly, there are a few things that you can try.
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU VAPE?
An e-cigarette is a device that allows you to inhale nicotine in a vapourised form rather than smoking a cigarette which has more than 4000 chemicals and 50 carcinogens. Unlike cigarettes, E-Cigarettes and vape pens do not burn tobacco and they do not produce tar or carbon monoxide - two of the most damaging elements in tobacco smoke.
THE CHEMICALS YOU INHALE WHEN VAPING
The chemicals you inhale when you smoke or vape is the main difference people choose to start vaping.
WHAT CAN CAUSE VAPERS COUGH?
If you are an experienced smoker and have just turned to vaping, Vapers Cough is one of the only side effects that you may experience. This is an irritating, prickly cough which you will get after inhaling your vaping device. You may also experience a sore throat or irritated respiratory tract.
DAMAGED CILIA
One of the known side effects of smoking cigarettes is inhalation damage caused to the Cilia. The Cilia are tiny hairs that are on the back of your throat and they remove dirt and mucus from your airway and allow you to breath struggle free.
BAD VAPE MOD OR ATOMIZER
Another reason for coughing episodes may be down to a damaged or faulty Vape Mod or Atomizer or you may have not set it up correctly. If your device does not seem to be working properly, you may want to speak with the vape shop or website that you purchased your vape from and make sure you have set up the vape correctly.
POOR E-LIQUID QUALITY
Poor e-liquid quality can also make you cough. This is more than likely because most e-cigarette brands have their e-liquids made in China (different regulations). So if you bought cheap e-liquids or purchased your new e-cigarette from a petrol station, it is important to check where the e-liquids are made.
Can smoking cigars cause nausea?
With vaping, if you run at too low wattage or with thin juice in sub-ohm tanks, you can literally be drinking e-liquid. If you are swallowing this juice, I can imagine experiencing nausea.
Can you vape if you have nicotine?
Probably not vaping. Probably some type of flavour. Overdosing on nicotine seems like a silly assumption as it takes a whole lot of nicotine, a lot more than reasonable, to OD. If you smoked and never had a reaction to nicotine, I really don’t think that’s where the issue lies.
Can vaping cause vomiting?
Nicotine overdose results in vomiting. Vaping too much for too long can also result in vomiting, again - because your nicotine intake is too high. Try a different liquid, turn down on the nicotine and try vaping a little less and see if it helps. Also, watch out for low quality liquids out there.
Is Pax w/juul too high?
If your using the Pax w/Juul pods they are 50mg (5% nicotine) so that is way too high, so yes as already stated lower nicotine level, try higher VG ratio.
