Coincidence?

And if your immune system is worn down, you are more susceptible to the viruses. Take the above advice and completely sanitize your equipment. Quitting smokes leaves us vulnerable for awhile until our system cleans itself out.

this is true. due to stress and various other factors, i'm workin on my 2nd cold since i got my pv in very late january. i've had a sore throat all most the whole time, but it's the itchy scratchy sore throat.

Have you spoken to your doctor about this situation and explained that you have quit smoking and are now vaping?

did you just recently stop analogs? Your body will go through hell to clean up after.

But I would try VG like some are suggesting...

Im curious, i have been off analogs for 8 days now. havent touched a one since i got my 501 8 days ago. i was a pack and a half a day smoker. i havent felt any withdraw symtoms from analogs. i do have a scratchy throat but isnt that from being new to vaping? i mean shouldnt i have seen some withdraw symtoms by now?

hard to say. Some people it doenst affect them at all. Mind over matter? But you are also vaping, whats your strenth of nic.

12 to 16 mg.

well thats good if your not suffering withdrawls, looks like you are clearly getting your nic intake from the vape. Scrathy throat could be new to vape, and also your throat clearing out the tar from anologs. give it another week. I guess a quick test would be to try straight VG and see if you still get scratchy throat.

I got the flu a week after I stopped. I think my body went all out of whack, which will bring your imune system down...I remember having a soar throat too...and I wasnt vaping at that time.

Have not spoken to doc. He wouldn't have the first clue about vaping. That I know. I think I'm gonna try switching to vg for a while. I have heard that pg can dry out the throat. The reason I stopped vg was that it seemed to have much less flavor. Would it be ok to add some flavoring to a vg liquid and maybe a little everclear to make it more flavorfull and add a bit of throat hit? And would vg dry out the throat the same as pg?

Stu, I wish I would have read your post before I posted mine...lol. I too have started vaping full time on Jan 5th, and have had strep throat 3 times. My throat is sore and raw most of the time, and I can tell it's coming back already. I've used antibiotics 3 times to clear it up!

I'm wondering (since I can't remember), how to tell the difference between PG and VG by looking at the liquid. I thought when ordering that all liquids were the same and didn't know about PG and VG. So some of them are pinkish and some are yellow. I would like to know the difference so I can try strictly VG for awhile and see if this clears up!

I wanted to wait a bit to respond to your post until after i got rid of the strep. It seems to be the PG liquid for me. every time i use it i got a sore throat. I ordered some vg liquid and seem to have no problems with it. good luck. TRY THE BLUE FOAM MOD.
