allergic reactions to vg?

[rusalka]

I started making my own juice and my eyes are constantly red. Is this an allergic reaction to the vg? coincidently my mix is 75/25 vg/pg

I moved this thread to the Health sub-forum so you might be able to get more answers.

rusalka, do you use any flavorings, sweeteners, nicotine content, and if so, which base is your nic in? Is both your PG and VG USP grade? It could be any number of things, including something totally unrelated to vaping, but that just happened to coincide with starting DIY. My suggestion would be to break it all down to one ingredient at a time and start ruling them out. Try vaping 100% PG with no flavorings for a few days and see if it makes any difference. Then switch to 100% VG with distilled water to thin it out. If neither of these change the problem, start looking at outside sources and make sure you are getting enough water throughout the day. If both solve the red eye then it may be your flavorings. I think VG allergies are unusual, but I did read somewhere that if you are allergic to palm kernel or coconut then you may also be allergic to VG, as those are the usual sources for production of VG.

I would think it a lot mor likely that you are allergic to PG not VG. A lot of people use only VG because of allergies. Also make sure to use USP grade VG.
