Vg Side Effects? - E-Cigarette Forum

MissVapor · 07-25-2009, 04:46 PM

I've been exclusively vaping wiltons glycerine and flavoring (no nic) for the past month.

I got a cold 2weeks ago and it went away but now I've been dealing with nasal congestion/infection still...

Does vaping VG cause nasal problems for you? I took a day off of vaping to see if it would clear up and so far feels a bit better but wanted to get some feedback..

The only other side effect I have is dry mouth..

What brand VG do you use? What side effects do you have?

Ive been cutting my 24mg pg juice with NOW vg(100% pure) at a 50/50 mix for about a week now and so far no bad effects. Stuff is cheap too, bout $5 for 16oz, it will last a very long time.

Yeah, I was thinking of getting some of that at the health food store near me..I didn't have my nasal problems until about 3 weeks into using VG though..(still could be just from leftover cold?)

I'm trying out some Ecopure VG-based flavors now. They do not seem to be as drying as PG, but they are consistently making me sneeze. I haven't seen anybody else mention this, so I'm going to do some comparison testing.

I've found that cutting with more than a few drops of VG irritated my nose/sinuses, so I only use PG now and maybe just a drop or 2 of VG in 1 mL mixture if there is a need to use it (like for thickness or vapor).

Ok, so there ARE a few others with some nasal issues ..this is my 2nd day without VG and my sinuses feel much better today..I am going to introduce the VG again soon and see what happens..

Yeah, that was about 2 months or more ago, and since then, I haven't had irritated sinus yet. That was when I had used about 25-30% VG in a mixture, but at the time, the VG seemed a bit easier for me to get, so I had planned to cut juice with it instead of PG.

None, nadda, zippo, zilch!

I usually use a 3 to 2 ratio of PG/VG + everclear + flavor + menthol crystals.

The pure VG + flavor + menthol didn't work for me.

Have you sniffed the menthol crystals?

I use 50/50 PG/VG and don't have a problem. But as some people can not do PG, you might not be able to do VG. Just a thought. Do some testing is the only way I can say to find out.
