Allergy to PG Question

[tng4125]

Hi All:

Newbie here and have been vaping for the last 6 weeks. Picked up a Ego-T kit from Liberty Flights and some PG juice at 14 mg of nicotine and was happy that I was able to quit the analogs. Last week, I decided to see if I would be comfortable vaping 0 mg and ordered some. Next thing I know, my lips were swollen from vaping the 0 mg which I thought was odd since it was the same juice that I ordered from the same vendor. I switched back to the 14 mg and that was fine. Would this allergic reaction stems from the lack of nicotine or what could be the possible reason? I tried cutting the 0 mg with the 14 mg and that didn't work either. Should I speak with the vendor on this? I would appreciate any feedback on this. Thanks.

Wow that is odd. Did the 14mg have a mix of PG and VG? I would suggest speaking to Abe at LF as he is very nice and very helpful

Good luck to you

Since the liquid is the same, just minus the nicotine, I would definitely contact the vendor. If the base is the same (PG) and it's pure PG, it would not be irritation due to PG. I'm assuming it's the same flavor? If so, let the vendor know what is going on.

There are just so many factors here. Possibly the 0 mg had extra flavor and you are sensitive to the flavor? You could get some plain PG and plain VG to test and see how you react to each one too.

That's bizarre. Are you using hot cartomizers or something? They can get hot on the lips if you don't use a plastic or delrin drip tip as a mouthpiece to keep your lips cool.

The juice with the nic should have been PG, flavoring, and nic in PG.

If you are using cartridges (plastic) maybe something was on them from production?

I think try a different juice brand and contact LF.

PG allergies are very rare which is why it is a common ingredient in many pharm products. Plus if it;s the same flavor from the same vendor just minus the nicotine that would not make sense. I would think it;s either a bad batch of juice or possible there is an extra ingredient to increase the throat his since it doesn't have any nic.

...some vendors...usually by request...add capsaicin to 0mg nic to add throat hit...capsaicin is pepper juice and could cause problems for some since it is the active ingredient in pepper spray...I certainly don't know but I would bet against it being the PG...especially if you have used it before...contacting the vendor would be a good idea..........

WOW that actually could be it. I never knew they did that in 0mg juice. Learn something new everyday!

Hi I'm new here.
I hope I can learn from everyone's experience with this forum.

Thanks for all the great feedback, everyone. I will definitely call LF and tell them about my situation. BTW, I had a battery failure recently and LF sent me a replacement along with a shipping label for the failed batter. Great CS! Hopefully, I may be able to get some answers.

Thanks for confirming my theory madjack and capsaicin would definitely explain the swollen lips.
