E-Juice making her sick..?

[Tigress]

I've been vapping for about a week and a half, and yesterday my mom told me that the vapor from the juice I was using was making her sick. I switched to a different flavor, so far it doesn't seem to bother her but I don't know what to do about the ones that make her sick. I don't want to use the same flavor constantly

There is a percentage of the population that has a high sensitivity to PG. Even going into a night club that uses fog machines can set it off for some people.

The change in flavor having an effect on her response is interesting though.

Short story - My sister is an ex-smoker (used nic gum for about 5 yrs though) and her grown daughter lives in her house along with my sisters grandchild. I sent my niece a starter kit and several carto's that I filled with quality juice to get her started. My sister won't let her vape in the house! I've tried to tell my sister that without that incentive she's making it tougher on her daughter to stop smoking. She doesn't care, she doesn't want to "Smell It".

I don't know if my sister is really bothered by the smells or not, or if she just doesn't want to be around it for some other reason.

My hubby hates it, says it stinks - but I think he hates what I am spending on it more than anything and just wants to nag.

Maybe just go in a different room?

That's what interested me, the one that made her sick was kind of a fruity flavor, it didn't have a label on it, the one I'm using now is Cappaccino ( how its spelled on the bottle ) it has the same nic level as the other one, but it doesn't say weather is has PG or VG in it, it has both listed on the label.

I asked her that, she said no that she though it smelled good, it just made her sick for some reason, she doesn't mind me using it in the same room, I made sure before I did anymore.

That's good, its too bad she is having such a negative reaction. Is she sensitive to perfumes or air fresheners at all?

I said to my other half, "stop whining", and life's been pleasant ever since.

The "it stinks" thing is simply the non-smoker whining, at least in my experience.

 

[Tigress]

Yes, I can't wear perfume in the house, she also can only burn certain kind of candle/air fresheners. She wants me to quit smoking as much as I myself want to quit, so she told me not to stop vapping, but I'm upset that certain juices make her sick to be around, I'm trying to narrow down wish ones it is shes having the reaction to, but some of them have no labels and a difficult flavor to name.

 

[toriL]

It may be the artificial flavoring giving a similar reaction as perfume or whatnot. I guess if I were in your situation I'd try some all natural flavored juice like at E-juice | E-Liquids by Dripeez (not sure if they are open & shipping yet). That may make a difference.

 

[Tigress]

Thanks toriL!! I'll check it out!

See if you can match up your flavors to the scented candles she uses... Vanilla, Coconut, Mocha, whatever. Maybe she's just sensitive to certain scents.

I know that some perfumes will make my head start hurting immediately. And cigar smoke....even from a yard away will make me ill.

I had the same problem with hubby and son. The solution is an air purifier when indoors. Their symptoms were coughing, gagging, tears in eyes and wanting to vomit. The symptoms belonged to them. I roll down the window in the car if vaping with hubby. They state it smells like potpurri stuff. I suppose it does not bother me since I vape.

BTW I have two air purifiers in the house right now. The Oreck works for my area and another upstairs. Hope this helps. Some Non vapors have sensitivities as well.

I'm a firm believer that scent issues are often psychosomatic. Not always, but you never know.

What I did was vape like crazy in the other room, gave it a half a moment, and told my other half to come in. Not a word. Not even a cough.

Proved my point.

My husband vapes right along side me, but one not I was vaping sour apple & it made him sick. And it still does. Something that is in that sour apple????

I have to concur..I cant stand the smell of ejuice..just last night I put the ejuice I had in the closet in ziplocs because of the smell..laughs

I had to get rid of all of the chocolate juices I had, every time I vaped chocolate my husband would start with the "what the are you vaping now? THAT STINKS". I just gave up the chocolate, but I gotta tell you, any chocolate vape can't smell anywhere near as bad as his CIGARETTES do. You'd think with him still smoking his sense of smell wouldn't be so darned particular.

There might be something to second hand vapor allergies. I'd try VG juice and see if it invokes the same reaction.

Non-smokers sometimes have the mantra embedded that smoke is bad. It doesn't matter whether it's vapor or tobacco. When a smoker says it smells bad, that's surprising. Of course, they might be expecting you to get them to switch and just against the whole idea because it represents something that might threaten their own habit.

I like the "vaping up the room" to see if they react the same way after the vapor clears. Sounds psychosomatic if they only complain if you are doing it in front of them.
