I was only joking Fish, I don't really think you are allergic.

Some are, fish. The most common complaint of PG allergy is severe sore throat/flu-like symptoms. That is the only one I have heard of.

But it does bring up a point that I hope the liquid manufacturers will take note of and soon offer a choice. PG or VG...unless there is a better formulation in the works. There are many who want this to work but cannot tolerate the PG.

Fish, no humans before us have ever inhaled PG on purpose. There are no tests at all. But we know from experiences with stage show "fog machines" that there can be consequences. Maybe you know someone truly allergic to tobacco smoke. Well, some people are truly allergic to PG. Dr. Loi says it's a very small number.

If you still have problems a week from now, stop e-smoking and go back to store-bought cigarettes for a week. See if your problems go away. That's about the only way you can really know if PG is a problem for you.

My pg allergy involved digestive issues and severe skin allergies. The skin was literally peeling off my hands and feet. I was on prednisone for two weeks to clear it up. Now I use veggie glycerin only and have had no other problems.

Allergies can take many forms. If someone has skin problems of ANY kind, pg can cause outbreaks or worsening of that condition. [according to my dermatologist]

don't worry Bud....you are doing fine..you are experiencing early transition changes..pretty normal...might takes up to 3 weeks or so to re-adapt to new smoking method.....
