I am having no negative reaction to vaping or to PG.
However, my wife (a life-long non-smoker and non-vaper) has multiple sclerosis (and generally a very sensitive system). About two weeks into my vaping (a couple weeks ago), the tightness in her chest that she sometimes experiences flared up. [That tightness first occurred about 10 years ago, after some acupuncture sessions.]
The timing of this recent occurrence coincided with my starting to fill cartridges of my new DSE801 penstyle with e-liquid (and some DIY mixing). [Previously I had been vaping a KR808D-1 with prefilled cartomizers.]
I have since moved out to the patio to do all my vaping (just as I did with my analog smoking) and I store all my liquids in a sealed container (which I keep out on the patio). Her chest tightness has eased.
I am not 100% sure that her recent problem is due to my vaping. For 2 weeks, I had vaped (virtually chain-vaped) in the same room as she with no problem. During the past few weeks the heat and humidity (and rain) here in South Florida have been unusually high. Perhaps the pollen count has been high as well, but I don't know. Or maybe she reacted to the exposed liquids and flavorings (but not to the vapor).
Ironically, she seemed to have the most severe reaction when I mixed spearmint flavor (intense) with VG.
We are a very committed couple (married 32 years), so her health and well-being are extremely important to me. At the same time, I am really enjoying the vaping experience and would like to vape more often (i.e., inside), not just during outside "smoke breaks." [See my signature.] And the same weather conditions mentioned above make spending much time outside not so pleasant.
Does anyone here know of any instances of reactions to second-hand vape? Or have any suggestions?
Thanks!
