Allergic To NET's?

[bman1977]

So about a month ago I got a bottle of Nicotickets The Virus. Didn't like the way it tasted and I had read that this is a juice that definitely benfits from steeping. So it steeped about a month and I recently cracked it back open and really like the way it vaped.The only problem is every time I vape it I get allergy symptoms like dry throat and stuffed nose. This juice does have NET's in it I believe and I don't vape anything else with NET's in it. Is it possible to be allergic to this?

Don't give up just yet........I ordered about 5 diffrent NET juices from www.net.....some I loved some were OK...there was a juice I really liked the flavor was real interesting, but it played hell with my sinuses I had to put it down....it is the only nET that has given me such a reaction, and the reaction was pretty intense......who knows chemicals used in growing the tobacco,chemsicals used curing the tobacco....maybe the tobacco itself,but it only happened with that one juice....you may want to try a sampler pack of other nets.

Virus has a 65% PG ratio. Could you possibly have an issue with PG?

That's possible. I mostly vape 50/50 juices. Maybe it is the PG.

Is it possible to have a certain limit for PG? Or are you either allergic or your not allergic?

Yes, it is possible to have a certain limit. Sensitivities are very threshold based.

I can't do over 30% PG.

I get leg cramps. And feel very dehydrated. Done this "experiment" over 2+ years now so I know it's the PG w/the leg cramps.

In your case, however, it would be hard to narrow down, since you are not narrowing the experiment, i.e. it could be the flavoring/net or it could be the PG ratio.

If you can vape other NETs comfortably, then it is probably the PG ratio.
if you can vape other juices that are 65% PG, then it's probably the net/flavoring

Many people confuse intolerance with allergy. You may be intolerant to high PG content juice.

Well I guess my limit is 50 percent. I've been vaping this 65/35 Virus for the past 3 days and have gotten terrible allergy symptoms(dry throat, lots of snot, and sneezing like crazy) It's gotta be this juice. Good to know!

Thanks

Same here, 30% is my max also.

Chinese juice is about 80% PG, which is why I never bought it.

65/35 is way too high for a lot o people. I love nitelite's flavors, but all their juices are pretty much 65/35, so I have a hard time vaping them.

I really don't like shopping with vendors who don't give you a choice anyway.

If I shop at the plume room for instance, I can choose 50/50 or 30/70, etc. Most vendors I shop w/give me a choice, some o them give you a LOT of choices, which is nice. Even if drinking a lot o water, I really don't enjoy dehydration, i mean, I really don't WANT to drink a whole lot more water than I always have for most of my life, just to vape. My body is well hydrated, always has been, so i really don't want to change the balance.

although you could be experiencing season allergies, which are common this time o year. I guess though if it goes away when vaping OTHER juices, then it must be the juice.

Hold up......./there's a wealth ofi nformation here[

I like alot of others started out vaping 70/30 pg/vg it would make me cough a bit and sinuses act up....after a while I would get lethargic,body cramps alot of fatigue.....I tried dropping my pg ratio down and started vaping 50/50 juices....symptoms dissappeared i thought I was fine, but after a couple of months the symptoms returned and so since then I've vaped only 100% vG......I don't know if this is intolerance or allergy as I've never tried vaping juice lower than 50/50 vg...
