    Default allergic to a flavor now can't vape :{

    Ordered some awesome tasting apple/cinnamon from the great folks at Vermont vapor and am allergic to it.
    It drove my asthma nuts after a couple hours.
    Now I cant vape anything because I get a reaction to stuff I had been using with no problems.
    I hope that goes away because analogs stink.

    If you have allergies/asthma be real careful what you buy and try it in small doses first.
    Not doing that led to one of the worst asthma attacks I have had in years and if I didn't have a neutralizer would have been in the ER because my inhaler would not stop it.

    If you are using PG, in the morning, get some VG and vape it to keep the analogs at bay for a bit and then try you're other stuff one by one.

    It could be the cinnamon. I have done my own cinnamon flavor and it is a major irritant for the lungs. I chain vaped it for a complete evening and the day after I was unable to vape because of the pain. Now I use use one drop of my cinnamon per 3 ml of juice!

    If you have asthma I suppose the effect of inhaling cinnamon could be bad.

    I also could be wrong since allergy to PV is a fact for some people and I do not know how strong is your apple-cinnamon juice.

    Wow, that's really scary. I posted the other day about whether someone with a nut allergy could vape nut flavored juices. A few people said they had no problem.

    I'm glad I ordered flavorless juice. I'm allergic to most nuts and a lot of fruits. I plan to experiment with flavors 1ml at a time so I don't contaminate lots of juice with flavors that trigger my allergies.

    I'm really new at this so I might be totally off base here, but perhaps before trying anything else the OP should clean or switch out their atty just to be safe?

    Trying anything that might cause a reaction at bedtime is usually a bad idea especially if you want the rest of the house to be able to sleep . I just hope it helps when you do get a chance to do some testing. Best of luck, hun!

    sounds like a good idea.
    be careful
    my favorite is lorann english toffee I mix my own.
    If you get the eyedropper that fits as a lid on the small bottles one eyedropper per a 3ml bottle is what I use.

    Mine !

    I took a real cinnamon stick, put it in small pieces and soak them in a 50% vodka 50% PG mix for a week. It is really good but not for my lungs
