allergic to higher VG ratio?

[solace.discord]

I usually vape a 70PG/30VG mix. the flavors are great, juicy almost, no issues, satisfying, love it.

I ordered from Fuzion, who uses a 35PG/65VG mix. I'm sneezing and getting stuffed up.. my cat is also sneezing when I vape these around him.. my mouth/tongue dries out, which blocks the flavor after a few puffs, especially whilst dripping.

I love the flavors when I can taste them! I've thought of cutting it with some PG, but I got regular strength samples, so then the flavor will decrease. also looking into getting the samples again, at a higher nic and with flavor boost, mixing them all together and adding more PG to bring the ratio and nic level to what I'm accustomed to.

is it possible to be allergic or sensitive to a higher ratio of VG.. or will I get used to it?

Two things:

1. You may be getting a cold.

2. Certain flavors will make me sneeze.

If your mouth is dry, make sure you're drinking water. I always have a drink everywhere I go. I've had that habit my whole life, so it's easy for me to stay hydrated, and I've never gotten the symptoms other people have reported as dehydration from vaping.

On your next order, there's nothing wrong with ordering extra flavor/higher nic and cutting with some PG. I don't think VG is necessarily the problem, though.

I understand what you are saying, but prior to using these, and when i'm not vaping them, I'm fine. of course I drink plenty of water throughout the day... no flavor loss with my normal mix, no dryness to this extent, no sneezing, no stuffiness.

he uses TPA flavoring- not sure if I've had TPA flavorings in any of my prior vapes.. could that be it?

I really want to love these.. and for the first few puffs, I do! but if there's something about them that isn't right for me, doing the experiment could be a costly mistake. I'll try adding a little PG first.

I get a very heavy 'thick' feeling in my chest with higher vg. I constantly have to clear my thoat and just all around feel gross.( I never sneezed or anything like that) I can't handle anything over 40% vg for very long without feeling this. I've been vaping for over 2 years and have found this right from the start. So yeah, you 'can' have 'some' kind of reaction to vg, I am proof of that. If this is your trouble or not I can not say. All I know is for ME, the lower the VG the better I am with no problems

anything higher than 50/50 gives me the same symptoms as AG51..

I get a heavy chest from high VG and actually vape 100% PG. I don't get stuffy or sneezy or a dried-out mouth, though. This sounds more like a flavor issue to me.

hhmm.. well, I took 10 drops of Apple Cinnana and 10 drops of PG- 3 drops on my atty, I can taste the flavor beyond that first puff, with less dryness. it's obviously not as strong, but enough, and might just do the trick.

higher VG definitely affects me differently (which is apparently the minority in the pg/vg arena)
since i am newish i wanted to try different blends...right now i have a 40/60 going and i immediately noticed phlegm/congestion...definitely going to stick to higher PG!

edit: it said "way more" and i realized with the higher pg i don't have any phlegm/congestion/post-nasal stuff
