[Vapeman2000]

Hi all.
I have being vaping now nearly 7 months and with in the last month or two i have being having trouble breathing due to phlegm in my throat. Its a bit scary and dont know weather to see a doc or not. Has anyone else had this problem ? Also i have changed to Liqua which has more VG than my last brand De Kang is could this be the problem ?

Thanks in advance.

Yep, you just answered your own question. I find that high VG e-liquids tend to feel heavy to me and causes me to have to constantly clear my throat. That may be what is happening to you too. I try to stick to a 50/50 blend.

I vape VG because I am PG intolerant, but I also have this problem and chronic ear infections.


Its either quit, go back to stinkies or put up with it.


It hasnt gotten bad enough to quit yet.

Had same problem with phlegm .
As a DIY i started making our e-liquid with less and less VG now only use 8% in mix.
Everyone reacts different to pg and vg though.

As for seeing the Doctor thats always a good thing to do.

I vape unflavored 20/80 and after about 3-4 days I feel heavy in the chest. That's when I switch to 50/50 flavored for a day or two and then I'm good to go.

According to what i can find on here i was vaping a 75/25 until about 2 months ago i changed to a 60/40 its not much of a difference but it could be the problem

I don't know why everyone thinks vg is the be all end all. Maybe it's a conspiracy. It's like anything else some can use it others can't. Just wait till the itching starts.

Buy some PG & VG, run through all the proportions. No nico, no flavors. See if they are even a probem.
Do the above after seeing a Doctor..
