E-Cigarettes & Nasal Irritation

[silas2]

I've been using my e-cigarette for a bit now, but I've just started getting real irritation in my nose, itching, sneezing, etc. I'm not prone to allergies, and I don't suffer hay fever etc, and the only thing I can think is its the e-cig. Does anyone else get this?
might it be to do with the glycol? is there an alternative to it?

Try a juice that uses 100% Vegetable Glycerin. That may help. Maybe not, maybe you have a sinus infection? Or there is some crazy pollution in the area, there are a lot of variables, but maybe try out a VG juice if you're using PG.

Never know! Talk to your doctor, too. I'm wishing you the best of luck!

I know what you're saying about the other factors, but the e-cig is definatley no-1 in the frame. I'll check out the vegtable glycerin. Thanks for that.

More vg may do it.
Pg can irritate the throat.
Like anything else , YMMV
Getting vapor in your nose can make you sneeze. I French inhale a couple of times to clear my head. Have a Kleenex handy.

Besides trying a 100% VG juice, are you drinking enough water? The PG could be drying out your sinuses.

I had sinus surgery a few months after I started vaping and the surgeon had no concerns about vaping. I think it actually sped up the healing in my nose. I'm sure he would have warned me if there was any possibility of causing complications.

That was me, this is you. Everyone is different so it may be irritating you. I'm sure you will narrow it down.

I still have itching and post nasal drip but not nearly as much as when I was smoking analogs

Drink lottsa water. Pg coats the throat, mouth and nasal areas. Nicotine and PG are irritants. Gargle, nasal rinse, etc.

I get runny nose when I vape...nothing excessive...but definitely noticeable on my end...
