    I've had a stuffy nose for years now, because of smoking cigarettes.
    Unfortunately, I still have the same issue now that I vape.
    It's not quite as bad as it used to be though.

    The congestion in my chest has pretty much cleared up too.
    And my morning cough is pretty much gone now.

    I had absolutely horrible congestion and sinus problems when I smoked cigarettes. This is the main reason I switched to e-cigarettes. I have never had any congestion since then, but I only smoke VG or Reduced PG liquids.

    PG liquids make my teeth incredibly sensitive and give me a headache.

    Its not water vapor, its vapor - PG/VG vapor.

    And I haven't had an issues, I've been pretty clear (except for a day spent cleaning in the attic.... all that dust gave me the sniffles)

    PG versus VG juices
    PG is propylene glycol and VG is vegetable glycerin.
    Either of these ingredients can be purchased relatively cheaply and easily by themselves.
    They can be used for making your own liquid if desired. or for cutting juice you have purchased.

    As far as differences go, this is what I have gathered from reading things here and there.

    1) VG is thicker (more viscous)
    2) VG vaporizes at a lower temperature
    3) VG produces better vapor
    4) VG is somewhat sweeter

    Because of the above...

    1) VG does not wick quite as well
    2) VG may gunk up your atomizer more quickly
    3) VG produces a somewhat cooler vapor which may reduce throat hit

    Cool, Appreciate the info. Think i'll stick with pg, I won't sacrifice any amount of throat hit. The more it feels like somebody is punching you in the throat the better!
