I'm really sorry you are having these issues with vaping!

I wish you much luck with the cold turkey. Even if you can't do the vaping, at least remember you have a leg up when going cold turkey - you've already rid yourself of the addiction to all the other nasty stuff in analogs!

Good luck to you, and I really hope you feel better soon!

I can't do anything until my throat swelling goes down. I'm leaving tomorrow to visit my family in Canada and it was a stupid decision to vape last night because now my throat is in pain. I will look into virginvapera and try 100% VG when I get back.

just a word of caution - the organic flavorings from virginvapor contain quite a bit of alcohol. this is ok with lots of people but it was not so with me. even though i never had any allergies in my life i react badly to pg, most flavorings, and as i found out alcohol.
if i were in your shoes i would try plain vg thinned with distilled water and then move on to some samplers - do not spend your money on large bottles.
i have found just one juice i did not react to which is ecopure, and lately the wta from aromajuice, no flavor added and vg-based. unfortunately, the supply of this is very limited but hopefully that'll change soon. either way it is a struggle once you start reacting.
good luck!

since i have been vaping virgin vapors juice, ive noticed my teeth feel gritty like i just ate a lemon or dran alot of coke, so maybe its the high alchohol content, it never happened before with bobbas bounty. i might have to try vaping nothing but bobas and see if it goes away, dang, virgin vapors makes the best tasting juice ive ever had too! :(

if your throat is swollen and generally icky feeling try some oil of oregano. earlier this year my old low quality liquid agitated a cold and made my throat swell pretty bad. my throat was a deep red, swollen, and had gorgeous white sores. i held about 2-3 drops of oregano oil sublingually for as long as i could, gargled with warm water and spat it out (so i didn't kill all the bacteria in my stomach). cleared it up in a few days. feel better.

So I went to the doctor again. He said I have caught another virus. I told him about vaping and he said he doesn't think it would cause what I have because I clearly have a virus. Vaping can't cause a virus, it may cause irritation and swollen glands if I have a reaction. So, so this could all be one big coincidence that is making me think it's vaping. I never had these issues the first 5 weeks so I can't understand why now pg/vg would cause this. I had some heavy feeling in
My chest but never swollen glands or sore throat. So need to wait and see. Oh to top this all off I didnt realize that my passport expired so I can't go to canada to visit my family for new years. My flight was tonight . worst week ever. Very bummed.

I feel so bad for you I could cry. I'm sorry you are feeling so very bad. I hope that going "cold turkey" is not too painful on top of everything else you are experiencing. Maybe your body is just done with intrusions of any kind and that can be a good thing in the long run. Have a Happy New Year and good luck.

I am so sorry you are having such a difficult time! At least the doctor diagnosed your virus, and maybe it isn't the vaping after all. I hope you feel better soon! :)

turns out its not vaping causing any of my issues. was just sick and caught two viruses back to back. been vaping for 3 days straight with no issues. feels great. i jumped the gun. however, i have switched to my auto joye 220mah 3.7v slim batts with the boge 2.0 cartos and its great! the batteries actually last about 3 hrs of pretty heavy vaping. i use the ego batts too but been sticking with the joye slim ones for just easy carrying. loving it. and yes i make sure i fill them perfectly so i get no leaking. need to watch for that with these auto batts.
