Hives!!!

Where did you buy your juice that gave you the hives?

Allergy to PG is definitely bad. Johnson Creek offers eliquid in VG formula, and Intellicig also offers a Non PG formula.

Thanks Wing, and to planetofthevapes, luckysevens4u and wv2win, I've checked these sites out. I emailed them at JC to find out which liquids are VG. I'd prefer to buy them in the US if possible as it would be quicker.

I'm back to analogs for the time being. Hopefully this will be very temporary. I'd be very disappointed if I had to quit vaping. This is the ONLY thing that has worked for me thus far.

Dude, I feel you on the hives. I have been vaping for 3 weeks now, and last week... holy **** I nearly went insane.

The itching started on both of my elbows, and then it spread throughout my body very quickly. Both elbows, both knee caps, tops of feet, and tops of hands. I didn't necessarily see any rash, just redness, but thats because I had been scratching like crazy.

I didn't spill any juice on me, though I have before with no ill effect. I didn't stop vaping though, even while the itching was going. Now I have noticed that occasionally one of my ears or my chin will itch, but mostly its just the tops of my hands around my knuckles now.

This has been happening for about a week now. Happens with all of my PG juices from 3 different suppliers. I have no intention of stopping. The itching on the first day was intense, and i downed some benadryl and claritin, seemed to help. I do not have any allergies to anything that I am aware of.

On the plus side, the itching has never lasted more than 2 minutes since the first incident, and it's really only on my knuckles now. Doesn't bother me at all.

I love vaping, and I'll never stop. Especially not now... god I HATE smoking cigarettes in the summer, especially when its humid outside. It's so nasty smoking analogs in the heat. Yuck.

Good luck with your's dude. Lemme know if the VG solves the problem.

Sympathy from across the big pond. Most antibiotics do this to me, unfortunately. Hope all calms down soon. Don't forget the emollient to prevent the skin drying out, after the outbreak is past.

Thanks, I will, but I'm not a dude...

I'm a dudette

This sounds like what happened to Spikey. She switched to VG and I think it went away. May want to PM her...

Update...well...

It wasn't the PG causing the hives-a very good thing! I gave vaping a 3 day rest and then started back on PG only. The hives have flared up a bit each night but last night they were almost totally gone. Maybe it's the glycerine I got to cut the 24mg, or maybe it's something I'll never find. I'm going to start the glycerine back tomorrow and see what happens.

Still waiting on my VG eliquid from JC.....

Good news then, I hope you figure out what caused the reaction so that you can avoid it in the future.

apathyps, that makes me giggle what you say about smoking analogs in the heat when it's humid...always made me want to pass out, but you think I quit? HECK NO! So wierd that so many people are getting itching...wierd question...is there any way that cutting back/cutting out analogs might make somebody itch a bunch as their body recovers and absorbs all the toxins in the lungs? I have had hives/itching forever, so I'm not the esmoking hives case...but maybe that is what is doing it to y'all? Or maybe too much nicotine? IDK if that would do it or not, but you never know!
