When people speak of an allergy to VG as I have seen here, isn't it PG that the allergies only develop?
Not VG?
Just want to confirm that its PG they are reacting to. I wondered when I saw VG being mentioned and since spoke to someone in the industry for juice and was told to his knowledge no one has had an allergy to VG, only PG.
I need to be sure symptoms are PG related.
If so, I will adjust levels of PG
Hassle doing so so want to be sure first.
Developed a feeling of phlegm in my throat a few months ago. Not painful, I can breathe but it's there and it's annoying at times. Not sure if i would go as far as saying my throat feels closed up but I did feel that way at first. I think I was a bit panicked, imagining the worst. Since more relaxed more about it, realistically I wouldn't go that far but still know it is in the way, so to speak.
I am aware of it more if i am sitting or lying in a position with pressure on my throat. Have removed 2 pillows and prefer my throat wide open, not constricted.
Not sure what it was, I have had pulmonary tests, checked for thyroid, GERD, a form of acid reflux.
Just about to double check it's not acid reflux as in GERD.
Noticed last year or two of smoking for first time I reached for TUMS. Occasionally if I vape heavier some days, I find i want Tums again but not often enough for alarm. Not sure if that's related to acid reflux or not.
Never once thought of vaping.
Thought of every other worse case scenario first
COPD, tumors, you name it, i have thought of it but an allergy to vaping? Nope! lol
never occurred to me until I read a thread here today by someone else who described all the same symptoms but mentioned it was a VG allergy (again, have been told allergies concern PG not VG)
Use 50/50 juice only - Vanilla Custard type juice
No particular vape style-have many
Little Puffer on 11w to Sub-ohm 0.5 at 20-25 watts (best spot taste wise for custard vapes 4 me-not hot) to less common 40w using ni200 - to stainless steel on temperature control
started before i used ni200, while using kanathal so not related to wire type
No idea if any diacetyl is in my retail juice. Guessing not, but really don't know.
Not going to mention the vendor here publicly, or potentially cause him problems unnecessarily.
But even if it did from what I have read, I don't believe these symptoms relate to that, do they?
Have been told by many DIY not to worry about diacetyl. And 2 flavours for custards I did order that have them in it. Apparently the taste is that much better.
Unless several here that are highly respected by others can convince me that the scare about diacetyl is not overblown, I am tempted to use those flavours.
Unless someone can point to my symptoms as either potentially related even though I suspect my juice is likely free of it, I am not even sure that it's related to this subject of allergies with PG.
Have one berry juice, 70 % VG and 30% PG I just bought and if people here confirm its a PG reaction I will not vape anything but this berry juice until i can tell if this helps it, or not.
Had pulmonary test done and no need or inhalers, told i was pretty good, despite 20+ year of heavy smoking up until a year ago when vaping began.
Wise comments appreciated. Sorry for being wordy.
