Allergic Reaction??

[Keith210]

Hello;
I am new to this forum page.... I'm looking to find, if anybody has ever had an allergic reaction to White Cloud E Cigarettes. I was very much looking forward to getting mine in the mail, and when I did, I started smoking it right away. when I started this, my throat started to slightly swell, and my chest tightened up.
has anybody ever had this happen to them. If so, then I will send it back. And order from somewhere else and I will need advice on a good E cigarette company where I may order my own liquid.
Please help?

you may be allergic to pg, decent possibility, i am and i had no idea before i started vaping. now i only do mostly vg juice, i get it from cloudsofvapor, alien visions, and vaperite.

Hi,

Most probably the nicotine strength is too high for you! What level the cartridge has? There are several versions. If this one is too strong for you I suggest to go one or two levels lower ( e.g. If it is 24mg try 12 and 18 mg).

There are a variety of things it can be

allergy to PG
too much nicotine (nicotine is a skin irritant)
just not enough VG in the liquid (VG buffers the irritation - most people like PG/VG blends)

and occasionally someone has a panic attack about quitting/failure etc.

Normally, when someone first vapes, they cough a bit - it feels weird and foreign to breath in the vapor. It's ingredients are similar to concert fog. Once you get used to it, your taste buds and sense of smell will come back and you will realize how awful and burnt-chemically real cigs taste.

Was White Cloud a 2-piece? Some of those are a full 3.7 volts and are good for people who are looking for a stronger hit (the hit is warmer). If you are an ultralights or lights smoker, the hit could seem very strong with some flavors.

So you have any allergies? Professional food flavorings are used in eliquids and soem flavorings are natural.

And what type of cigs do you smoke? what strength and how many per day?

I'd say it was a PG reaction too. I'm allergic to PG and never knew before I started vaping. I stick with it though because I can't find any decent prefilled VG carts in the UK.

I had the same issues when I started vaping. I found that going 50/50 with the PG vs VG really helped with the issue. I only notice now if I am vaping very heavy for a few days.

Thank you for your feedback.

I've been away for awhile, now I'm able to reply...
All of your replies helped me out. I do have to say that Whitecloud was very professional in my situation.
The took everything back and refunded the money in a timely manner.
Seems like a very respectable company.

What are you vaping now, Keith? I'm glad that WC refunded your money so easily.

Are you talking about this company? Starter Kits | White Cloud Cigarettes these are 30-40.00 sets, please dont pay 289.00 or even 100 for anything like these.

What are you vaping now, Keith? I'm glad that WC refunded your money so easily.

Right now I'm smoking real cigarettes. Not to happy about it though.
I'm just looking for the right one.
You know?

What level of nicotine are you using? And how much are you vaping per day? And what kind of cigs did you smoke?

I don't know if White Cloud uses all-PG as its juice base but high and sometimes medium nic in all-PG can be very irritating. Nicotine is a skin irritant. PG does little to buffer its irritation. In addition KR808D-1 models are 3.7v w/ a warm hit that can increase the TH and irritation of nicotine.

Since PG is actually used in hospitals for inhalation therapy, even for lung transplant patients, the problem is usually the nicotine level IN the PG rather than the PG itself. More rarely, it is the PG itself.

BTW - knowing that White Cloud is the number 1 ripoff ($90 and up for a single white battery that should cost $15) I recommend you buy something else and return the White Cloud just on principle. Note- ecig companies do not allow returns of the carts for safety reasons.

Yup... thats the one.
I guess it was a blessing in disguise that I was allergic huh?
Now that I'm looking around, I am figuring out that it was a little pricey.
