Airway constriction with fruit flavors?

[amesenbrink]

I've been vaping since mid November and my wife and I have tried a variety of flavors from several local vendors. I have noticed that when I use a fruit flavor like, banana, berry, apple etc I initially get a slight tightening of the throat. Most of the time I just feel a slight constriction of the airway, sometimes it actually makes me cough. This is not a deep lung smokers cough, closer to the cough you get when you walk outside in subzero temperature and that freezing air hits your throat.

I thought this was pg sensitivity at first, however I believe I've ruled that out. I have a bottle of honey tobacco that is 70pg / 30vg and have no problem, yet a 60pg / 40vg bottle of blackberry causes the constriction.

Does anyone know what might cause this? Is there a common ingredient in fruit flavors I might be reacting to?

I dont know...I havent had any problems you mentioned nor heard of any with fruit flavors. I have a house full of vapors and make my own juices which are mostly fruit flavors.

Good luck in your search. Hopefully someone here can help you key in on the issue.

Maybe try different juice provider

I have tried 6 different companies. I don't want to name any companies because I'm sure this is me not them, my wife has no issues.

Company A 60pg / 40vg:
pipe tobacco - smooth as silk
Maple tobacco - darker throat hit but no breathing problems
Blackberry - smooth clean flavor, throat tightens

Company B - 70pg/30vg
Honey tobacco - lite and sweet
Cherry - very sweet, throat tightens

Both places have all American sourced juices and both named the companies where they buy pg, vg, and flavor.

I had an issue with Ethyl Maltol, a sweetener Vendors commonly use. Had mouth ulcers occur. Turns out I was sensitive/ allergic to it. Once I stopped using it everything went back to normal. Gave remaining juice to a friend and he had no issues. Tried some a few months later and again- mouth ulcers.
