Dripping - Sore Throat?

[Pheisty]

Hey y'all.

I started dripping tonight because I'm not liking the flavor I get from the filler in my carts. Icky. I have a very particular sense of taste and smell and I just can't get past the 'plastic-ish' flavor I get.

So with that said, I'm getting AMAZING and perfect flavor from dripping, but I noticed that I have a sore throat. Anybody else have the same issue?

I cleaned the primer by soaking my attys in hot water and then burning off the primer and priming them with juice, so I don't think it's the primer, but maybe I didn't get it all off.

Any ideas?

I completely quit analogs 3 weeks ago, and I have had a slight sore throat a couple of days in there, but not sure if it coincided with dripping. I am dripping tonight since I got about 15 liquids to try. I will probably end up with a head ache as well.

I notice that dripping my 510 really lets flavor thru especially on the ones with more suttle flavor. I can vape with a cart happily with more flavorful juices, like the sweet cinnamony ones.

Have you tried pyramid tea bag mods instead of the filler in the carts? Great you tube videos on how to do it. No bad taste when liquid runs low IMO.

Hey, Godzilla.

Yeah, I really do wanna try the tea bags. I'll pick some up tomorrow. I also ordered a ceramic cartomizer, so I'm excited to get that.

I did figure out why I was getting a sore throat...I put too much juice on the atty and was getting it in my mouth! Yuck. It's sort of dissipating, now.

Even though you figured your issue out, I'm bored, it's late, and there may be others that benefit from our pain So.
Sore throat can be everything from a coincidence to the mixture/type of e-liquid. I've had multiple sore throats since quitting smoking and you have to discern what the cause is. Outside of sinus issues, I have certain e-liquids that almost immediately dry me out and give me a sore throat (for lack of better vernacular). When I'm using the ones I know do that, I take care to drink something with or after the vape and it has taken care of it. Then, like you mentioned, there's the whole "swallowing the liquid" thing, I learned that one the hard way! You can also figure out if it's the flavoring or the PG/VG combination that is the trouble for you, OR, if it's the atty and the way it burns. It's good though not to automatically assume one particular cause upon presenting with the soreness (or other symptoms) because it does seem to follow different patterns. While so many people will excuse everything from having a sore throat, to your cats and dogs sleeping together with your quitting smoking, any health related issue should be evaluated by a professional to be on the safe side. I just wish I knew why I have started craving small woodland creatures. Must be because I quit analogs.

Yep, Sardonic's said it all very thoroughly. Drink lots of water, that really helps. When I started vaping, I had a lump in my throat for about a week until I started vaping, sipping, vaping, sipping, back and forth.

Where did you find your ceramic atty if you don't mind saying? Please and thank you.

LOL@Sardonic!!! I was wondering where the small woodland creature craving was coming from and now I know!

Seriously, though, you have to drink a ton of water when you vape. I had a sore throat for 2 weeks before I started reading posts on this forum; I was not drinking nearly enough and my throat feels better when I have some VG in the juice base. I'm not sure about my minimum VG % yet, but I'm having fun experimenting!

 

[Pheisty]

Sore throat was definitely a juice-in-mouth problem, but thanks for the warning about the woodland creatures. LOL

@Seabrook, I found them at Clouds of Vapor: 510 E2 Cartomizer - Ceramic Steel Color

I just ordered the ceramic cartomizer, so I should have it by Saturday, if the postal gods are smiling upon me. I have no idea what voltage my Joye510 is...I should probably figure that out, eh?

Joye510 is 3.7 volts. A bit of a sore throat is pretty common for people that have just quit analogs.
