Some times on a weekend I'll have a few frosty cold beverages and will end up chain vaping for 4-5 hours straight. In the morning I'm coughing up crap and I've got a sore throat and my lungs hurt a little. Also there is a sore spot in my mouth in the "contact spot" were the vapor first hits as it comes out of the carto.
Vaping is NOT benign no matter what e smoker manufacturers say. But it IS what I choose to use to quit smoking.
If I only use the Bloog when I need to symptoms are quite mild... no sore throat. Just a little coughing in the morning.

If you signature ticker is correct, you might just be having one the normal healing phase symptoms. Coughing up crap is typical when lungs are expelling the build up from smoking. It will be interesting to see if this still happens in another month or so.
I'm willing to entertain the idea of certain symptoms being associated with healing lungs..... possibly....
But the severity of the symptoms I listed are DIRECTLY related to how much I vape. It cannot be coincidental.
PG and VG are hygroscopic. VG even more so than PG.
Direct contact of highly hygroscopic substances with the tongue or other parts of your mouth can cause blisters.
Did you swallow juice? (who doesn't at one time or another...)
Don't think I've ever swallowed juice. But would not swear to it. Certainly never noticed if I did.
I hiccup too sometimes.. I vape a 60/40 PG/vg mix so not sure if its the PG or the vg that causes it for me.

Oh, now there's a thought... the sores on the mouth may come from the little bit of juice condensation we sometimes get.
perhaps I should be a little more careful to not OVER fill the cartos. That may encourage juice condensation
It happens to me on prefilled ones too, so I don't think it is anything you are doing wrong. It is just the nature of the beast to have a little condensation build up. I have to dab mine on a tissue or something a few times during the day.
Yeah, condensation will happen, the rubber tip, wicking, your mouth and throat are all well below the bp of all juice ingredients, they will condense, no way around it. Probably why more vape nic is absorbed in the mouth and throat than smoke nic. The nic in smoke is piggy backing on smoke particles, which are smaller and can't condense allowing them to shoot deep into the lungs before being deposited. Vape juice that didn't condense probably wouldn't be very effective, you would just suck it in and blow it out, with no particles to stick to the lungs if it didn't condense there, nic would have no way to enter the system.
Vape juice always "condenses" (don't know if that is the exact correct term for the effect). That's the nature of the beast.
Water molecules aggregate in great quantities around PG/VG molecules, which turns a usually invisible water based vapor into a visible vapor.
Water vapor, or maybe more accurately, water based vapor is invisible, and only becomes visible when "condensing" over some sort of "impurity" particles (PG/VG in this case)

A qualified maybe IM limited experience. I wasn't a menthol smoker for years, but in the last week have been enjoying vaing it. Vaping menthol now acually. TH does seem increased compared to similar juices (same vendor, same mg etc). Some people th = sore throat if thats you, then yes. For me, not quite. The increased th from adding menthol doesn't quite seem to = sore throat. YMMV. or more accurately, YMWillVary,.....

Just an update folks. The last few day's I've gone from 24 mg carts to 16mgs, vaping menthol and ry4, and tried to cut back on vaping a bit, too easy to chain vape. seems to have helped the sore throat seems to be abating. (I've got my fingers crossed.) I also found I don't miss the extra nicotine
