Rookie mistake, OUCH !!!!
I got busy this week and ordered my AW a day late and it is now sitting 100 miles away :( I just put the last gurgling drop in my cart. I guess it's time to pull out all the old AW bottles and wring out every last drop. Grrrrr

Want some Malty Toffee?

Ah man, thanks Levi !!!!
Im all right. My AW will be here Monday and I have a bunch of other flavors. But for a about a month I'm doing 95% AW. Right now I can't get enough of it :laugh:

Good luck and congrats on one more week.

No problem :)

One more week - then I get a week off - then I start the Summer semester, it never ends, lol.

I understand, my wife is a retired RN. She's now a middle school special needs teacher and working on her Masters. She works all day and grad work all night. My time is Saturday's, Oh except today she is working on her term research paper.

So No AW and No wife, what's a boy to do :(

Mornin' everyone

So,for the past couple of days, I've been getting a sore/swollen throat and I thought I might be getting sick with a cold or something. Well, I'm definitely not sick - but I haven't been able to vape my usual amount because of this situation (Yes, I do drink a lot of water, probably about 8-10 pints a day)

Well, I had a thought - maybe my nic level was too high at 18mg? So, I have a bottle of this 12mg Tootsie Roll from KBV, and after vaping it for a while, it seems like this was my problem. I tried to take a puff of some Malty Toffee and though it didn't hurt per say I can feel it being much stronger than the 12mg (then again, they're two completely different flavors).

So, this depresses me... if it is true and 18mg is too much for me, I have to re-buy my entire collection again :( or trade/sell off my 18mg collection and so on. It won't be all that bad since I've recently reduced my collection to just a few flavors but at the same time, I now have to wait and try some of the same flavors in a lower mg/nic to make sure for sure that is the problem.

I guess I could always buy 6mg bottles and cut the 18mg that way - which I may or may not do. Don't know yet. Anyways, just a little rant here, I hope everyone has a wonderful Easter!

I've recently gone through something similar. I've been vaping 80pg/20vg since August, carrying around 2 water bottles with me everywhere because vaping made me wicked thirsty. I ordered some juice from a vendor that has a much lower pg ratio, and once I tried some of that, I just couldn't vape the higher PG juice. No allergic reaction or anything, just that the TH from the PG was unbearable. Now I have a tackle box FULL of juice I can't vape.

I ordered some all VG juice, but I've found that 50/50 or 60/40 are the best ratios for me. If I try to vape anything 80/20, it does give me a sore throat. KBV has less PG in it, it might be the PG and not the nic level that is causing your issue.

I am no longer dying of thirst all the time. The other change is that my face was getting really dry, which I attributed to getting old, but after I stopped vaping higher PG the little dry spots are gone.

I thought this might be it as well but I have to think it's not true because I generally only vape from two companies at the moment. BWB + BomBay Vaping.

BWB Malty Toffee is my favorite (which we all know isn't exactly a 70/30 like the rest of Don's stuff :) ) and that's still causing the Throat irritation.

All juices that I have from BomBay are 50/50 and even they're giving me some trouble.

Perhaps you could be correct, before I went crazy and started selling off all of my juices, lol!, I made an offer in the classifieds to trade some of my more unused BWB juices for some low mg Ave or maybe some lower mg BWB. But leaning towards the Ave to see if it is the PG bothering me, though it never has before... I dunno, it's just frustrating ya know - thanks for the advice though! :)
