This is long and I apologize for that but I just wanted to get it off my chest. I'm assuming there have been others who have gone through something like this before. I'm not so egotistical as to assume I'm that much of an original:
Well I went approximately a year and a half vaping almost 100% (occasional cigarette at the bar etc). As often happens in a family with children the flu went around and when I got sick I started to cough every time I would take a hit from my E-Cig. It got to the point where my chest just felt like a mass of Hamburger. Faced with this adversity I did what any long time smoker would do, quit... nope I went back to analogs. Of course I never even considered quitting because I'm an addict and there is a short in my brain. My wife pointed out to me a week later "why didn't you just quit" to which I replied "hey that would have been a good idea" at this point I realized "once an addict always an addict".
It was at this time my wife started smoking again although she is a two in the evening kind of gal Im guessing everyone here knows what it means to try and quit while your partner is lighting up. Loss of self respect because you cant seem to stop giving in every time your partner heads out the door to light up which in turn of course leads to Resentment as well as a sense of entitlement i.e. screw it Im an adult and I can smoke if I want to. The trigger that got me on E-cigs to begin with was my wife being pregnant with my now one year old daughter. My wife just stopped smoking her two or three in the evening and I grabbed a Roughstack after having previous 9 month stint with an eGo kit.
My wife is now pregnant again and a few months into being back on analogs it was obvious it was time to go back to the good (better) stuff. This time armed with a Sigelei ZMax I started back to vaping with a rekindled fire. The cough persisted though. Now I was starting to worry had I become allergic to vaping? Well fast forward a week and a few more packs of analogs later and I found an older bottle of strait VG French Pipe I had stashed in a desk drawer and holy crap-sticks batman no cough ? I was befuddled by this turn of events and then realized even though I had always purchased some kind of VG or VG blend the last round of juices I had purchased must have had the PG levels raised in them. It had never been the Flu at all but instead it had been changes to the juice I was purchasing. I only figured out the PG connection because of a video my wife found once the coughing had really become worrisome.
I cannot tell you how relieved I was to find out I could go back to vaping without worrying about my chest feeling like someone was using it as a speed bag. So Im in the market for a new e-juice vendor. One that has all VG or a mostly VG blend 70/30 or 80/20 perhaps. I just bought my first bottle of boutique juice from Virgin Vapor and am waiting for it to come in the mail now. Anyone have any other suggestions on some good vendors, preferably cheaper than $20 per 30ml bottle. If you took the time to read all of this thanks for your time and attention and have a great day.
Long story short: I got some bad Juice and need a good vendor with good all VG or mostly VG blends.
