Burning in throat from vaping lately

[ScottP]

Do you have allergies or post nasal drip? That can cause your throat to become raw and more sensitive to inhaling vapor. A Dr. visit is probably in order.

Hi all. Similar question.
I am 8 days vaping with the Aspire Pocketx, I am on a 12mg nicotine level but added an 18mg liquid into my vape yesterday but it was too strong so cleaned it out and put my 12mg back in. It is burning my throat and isn’t pleasant. I changed the coil yesterday thinking it was still soaked in the 18mg but it’s still the same now. I’ve ordered new coils but it’s unpleasant to vape it now.

What juice are you using?

What juice are you using?

Debang pear drops 12mg but put 18mg of logic cherry juice before changing the coil and readding the pear drops

How much PG vs. VG? Sometimes that can make a difference, although since you raised your nic level, I might suspect that. Lowering PG (maybe, might) compensate for that though? It's a though anyway.

Nic salts have almost no throat hit, so if you are venturing into higher nicotine territory, a nic salt juice (or even just using your regular juices but bumping up nicotine a bit USING DIY nic salts might help. IDK. It could be the different flavorings, too.

Best of luck getting it sorted out.

Some of the burning in your throat might be a sensitivity to either PG or VG. I don't know for sure but it's possible.

For you it's a matter of figuring out if something is causing a sensitivity.. your doctor can help you with this.

It's 50/50 mix from what i was able to learn..

It could very well be that the 18mg irritated your throat and now since it is still irritated that any level will do the same. It may just take a bit of time to go away.

PS. I am not a Dr., but I do have a Master's in Speculation.

Alice, isn't 12 mg/ml a rather high nicotine level for the type of tank you are using? I'm not familiar with the product but just looked it up and it appears to use sub-ohm coils. It is generally recommended that with sub-ohm coils a nicotine level of no more than 6 mg/ml should be used, otherwise the throat hit can be very harsh.

Sometimes just giving the bottle of juice a thorough shake can help distribute the nicotine more evenly throughout the liquid. I find this a frequent problem with my newly made DIY mixes and I seem to be very sensitive to nicotine 'hotspots' within the liquid. I've made it a habit to shake the bottle before filling a tank, every time.

I also prefer a higher ratio of VG to PG, for less throat hit. For example, 80VG 20PG. This works well with sub-ohm coils.

And sometimes you just get a bad coil that doesn't last long. It happened to me today and the taste and throat 'burn' was truly horrible.
