taking a week off from vaping to see if all the crazy medical stuff that's started in the last 3 months goes away, or gets better...so far nothing has changed...

but I will say that ciggies are freaking so nasty now :(

Oh no! I do hope it resolves!! I'd ask what you're dealing with, but don't know if you want to make it public. Besides, there's probably not a lot in the way of advice I could give, since I'm not a doctor... nor do I play one on TV...

Yeah, ciggies are WAY nasty! :p I get bothered a little just smelling it in the air when smokers walk by. :( (I don't say anything though, don't wanna be hypocritical or rude :D ).

So, try going higher or (near) 100% on the VG, that helps a lot of people w/issues. But good luck, w/it whatever you do. I'm not a doctor either...nor do I play one on TV...but I did play one as a kid! :lol:

:facepalm:

If it is the vaping, it could be a question of finding the right PG/VG ratio as Travis said. When I started, I thought I wanted to do 100% VG. It gave me stomach aches. (I recently tried some 50/50 and it still does.) So then I turned to all PG and was so dried out my throat felt like I had strep.

At 70/30 or 60/40, I don't have either problem.

((((KT))))

if your problems are surfacing because smoking masked them, then they may well go away again as you smoke. (but it won't mean things are better) I'm glad you're seeing docs, and i hope that you'll find a way to vape without problems.

oh, and good morning Clowder!

That just reminded me, I remember reading in one of the "medical issue" threads here a long time ago about a condition. I forget the name of it but something in cigarettes actually helps keep it in check, and some have gone back to cigarettes at the suggestion of their doctor. If I recall the symptoms are similar to irritable bowel syndrome but worse. But I believe it was also pretty rare.


Morning everbuddy!

If it were just nicotine, vaping or a patch / gum should take care of it. I was under the impression that it was something specific to smoking.

It was a while back and my memory on it is pretty hazy, I dunno. I seem to remember people actually quit vaping and went back to cigs.

I already know that anything over 50% PG gives me hives....

I thought 30/70 was the best mix for me, but now I'm having throat and heart issues....so I'm not sure if the VG is causing this or not. I've read that high VG can cause tightness in people's chests. Which in my case has lead to Panic Attacks.

So if I can't do High VG or High PG and 50/50 bothers me too...what the hell else can I even try?

Guess I'm the one person in the world that is allergic to both :(

The only other carrier I know of would be triacetin... there's a few flavors that use it as a carrier, but not many. It doesn't blend well at all with VG. I do have some triacetin I could use in the place of PG & VG.

That would leave the nic base, though... I can only get that in PG or VG.
