Default Sore Throat

I've been vaping for nearly a month now, and have noticed a sore throat in the past couple days. It is very scratchy, and i'm coughing consistently.

I primarily use PG based juices, and cut them down about 25% VG. Could it be the PG content? Should I try out some VG based juices?

That is the Number one complaint for those that can not tolerate PG--sore throat--switch to VG and you should have no issues-----Sun

+1 on the VG

If the VG switch doesn't help it may be a symptom of making the switch. I've read several people have experienced respiratory or flu like symptons such as sore throat, coughing, headaches, sinus problems. All temporary. Mine was sinus problems that lasted about a week. Could be coincidence though

I did a search on "sore throat" and found this thread.

I'm not sure, but I find I have a very sore throat (even with drinking tons of water) if I vape with the filling in the cart. If I vape without the filling, I don't get that sore throat.

Anyone else notice this?

Could be vaping some of the plastic filler.... which can probably cause cancer. Hopefully it won't!
