Enjoying some delicious Waffle born on the 8th this month:)

How's everyone doin' tonight? My throat seems to be alright with the Waffle - I hope it's not VG that's bothering me...

Hey Tom, if it does turn out to be VG bothering my throat, is it possible to request special made Malty Toffee with low VG?

Hi Levi...how goes it this evening?

It's pretty good Whis ~ I got some orders in today :)

I got my batteries and charger for my future MonkeyBoxx and an assortment of colored driptips. Still investigating what's bothering my throat, whether it's PG/VG or nic-amount or just an outside influence of some sort. I'll get to the bottom of it soon.

What's up with you Whis?

Sounds like you'll have to use process of elimination for the throat irritation Levi...

Yes ma'am. What I've tried so far, I've tried with mostly Malty Toffee and another blend of 50/50.

Malty toffee is bothering my throat on LR 2.0 and Standard 2.8 - so this is upsetting.

The 50/50 is okay on both but eventually starts ticking at my throat.

The Waffle, however, doesn't seem to be bothering me too much. Is the Waffle 70/30, do you guys know?

I've got some lower mg (12mg) Boba's Bounty and Malty Toffee coming in the mail from a trade to see if that's the problem. As it is though, some signs are pointing towards VG :( So many great flavors with mostly VG. But, it could also be a bacterial infection like Tonselitis or something and that VG just happens to irritate it more than PG at the moment.

Really, this was pretty abrupt and sudden. I've been vaping for almost two months with many assortments of pg/vg juices, mostly at 18mg with no problems until just a couple of days ago. But, when I tried some of my 12mg juice I had left from a trade, it was extremely tolerable. I can tolerate the Waffle 18mg as well so really, I have some more investigating to do.

Waffle as in all Don's juices are 70/30...It is strange that you are developing maybe some reactions to VG...but its happened to others I hear.

Take care River!

I know, it's truly odd. And to happen so all of a sudden. This makes me think it has nothing to do with e-cigs but even if it doesn't, I can't very well vape myself into pain now can I? lol!

Waffle is delicious and is working out, so at the moment, I'll just go with the flow.

Levi, I wonder if you are coming down with a cold. My taste buds have been whacked for a week or so and Easter morning I got up but felt like death warmed over. Today, it seems to be turning into a head cold - sore throat, sneezing, dry cough, runny nose, etc. One thing I did notice before before Saturday/Sunday was a tickle in my throat that would cause a dry cough.

This is possible and it was I thought at first as well but the only thing is that it hasn't amounted to anything else other than this nuissance of not being able to enjoy some of my juices. No congestion, headaches, body aches, fever, cough, and really no sore throat either aside of using some juices that cause it to be tender.

My throat was a little swollen a few days ago, I really think it's some type of infection. Unfortunately, I don't have health insurance to go get it checked out or get some antibiotics. If it is indeed tonselitis, my lymphatic system will clear it up in a few days. If my experimenting with different juices doesn't solve the problem and it is still a problem in say, another week from now, I'll buy some insurance and get checked out immediately.

On a lighter note, it does seem to be getting better through the days - I dunno if this is because I vape less of those juices that bother me or if it's just correcting itself. Only time and more experimenting will tell. Thank you though sashwa!

You have been pushing yourself through these tests & classes...Your body maybe telling you something!

Too true - I cannot leave out the possibility of stress. I am constantly stressed - though I have a large resistance to it. I've also been deprived of sleep recently. Not straight insomnia but I'm surely not getting enough. Thank you Whiskey!
