Lung problem

[Bigboy_tron]

Sup, I'm new but I have a urgent question.
3 days ago I bought gycerin from a pharmacy, it said the 100% glycol vv.
Since 3 days I have an "ache" in the middle of my chest, no other symptoms.
It's still here 3 days after and I'm starting to get worried.
Could it be to do with the vape or something else?

Vg is very thick and can cause what you describe. Happened to me also. I use a 50/50 mix of pg/vg to make my juice. And now I vape almost non stop with no problems.

Not many can vape 100% vg.

Well I did use distilled water with it, but I don't think its the vaping it might if the pain is still there tomorrow I might go check up with the dr just to be sure.
Thanks though

Seeing a dr is always a good idea. So what really is your question? If you are questioning the vg itself, if the bottle says USP then its ok to use in ejuice.

Chest pain is something that you should see a doctor about ASAP - most especially 3 day chest pain

My question was if it was possible to get an aching lung from glycerin but you answered it.
But for info it does not say USP, Its a medical glycerin and the brand is CARE+.
But I have a felling that it could be from an external injury eg. gym since it is a localised pain in the middle right part of my chest.

I would advise a trip to a Walk Medical Facility or an ER from what you are saying. First off your not sure what you used was even safe to vape and chest pains for 3 days is nothing to take a chance with. Hopefully they say it is a pulled muscle but seriously this is the wrong place to look for a diagnosis.

I think it's good though to ask if certain symptoms someone suspects might be related to vaping, since others here might have had that issue. In this case I agree seeing a doctor is wise.

Alright thanks guys, sorry for asking here it was just to see if it was possible from the vape.

From what I can find, Care+ Glycerin is the equivalent of USP grade. Here's a thread where it was discussed in the past - IS this Glycerin safe to vape ?

VG in higher percentages gives me a heaviness in my chest that I can't tolerate, but no pain. Good luck solving this!

Same here so glad people ask so we can let them know. In this case with pain in the chest the advice to see a doctor is appropriate.

 

[SteveS45]

When Googling I was only coming up with suppositories for Care+ Glycerin.............

Better safe than sorry. Great to ask advice here but you are much better off checking this with a medical professional. Once they then reassure you regarding your chest the good people of the ECF can guide you towards effective vaping products...

I'm all for the "See a doctor" part... I was vaping 90%VG (hence username) and I started to feel like I was smoking again. Heavy chest, congestion, runny nose, it was bad. I could feel something in the chest, not sure if it was pain or not. (I have herniated discs in my back/neck so definition of pain is relative.)

I changed to 50/50 and it all went away. 50/50 isn't as fun though, so you end up vaping less. Don't have to clean the windows as often either.

Welcome and glad you joined. PG or VG intake can cause severe medical problems for a small percentage of the population. Please stop vaping and seek medical help.

I've never got an actual pain, when I was up to 20+ ML a day I did get what I'd call "Heavy Lung" where I'd have a very slight shortness in breath, my mix at the time was max vg, VG nic, Vg, and 5% flavoring so pretty close to pure VG, it would always go away if I stopped vaping for a couple hours (body absorbed the glycerin)..

FYI if it say 100% V/V it's 100% Glycerin and definitely should be safe for vaping..

How much are you vaping a day? How long did you smoke? Either way go see a doctor and ask for a chest x-ray.. When you look at the xray, feel your colar bone, follow your ribs down until you get to the spot and look at what you see...

 

[SteveS45]

I vape close to 30MLs a day every day of MAX VG and do not experience any health or breathing problems. Maybe lucky or just good DIY e-Liquids or quality VG? I don't know.............

Hey guys quick update, it had nothing to do with vaping it was a injury to do with my ribcage. Vape on!!!
