I didn't pay any attention to their forum while they were out but suspect they need to do a major clean up there.FT Back! This is an order made let week (15% off sale)
I suspect I might be having an allergic reaction to VG. Itchiness and flu like symptoms. So yesterday I quit vaping to see if this is it. And it has been over 20 hours now and it seems to be getting better. But some days were better than others, so it is too soon to tell. I've been getting by with nicotine lozenges for now and how long does it take before symptoms clears up if this is it? Man, I don't think I could stomach vaping 100% PG. The highest PG juice I believe I have here is only a tiny bit of nic salt juice I was playing around with and that's only 50%.
Just one?

Of coarse you might be right.... or have some flu like thing, I've heard of folks being allergic to PG but not VG. Not to say that's not it but kind of late in the game for that (I'm thinking)
Edit: my primary (RTA) juice is 75% PG, there is one of us that posts here that vapes 100% PG although he hasn't posted here much lately.

Yeah I never heard of a VG reaction either. Until I heard of someone who claimed they were. I had no problems that I was aware of for almost 4 years of vaping mostly 70VG. Although last fall I was LD more than MTL. Then the symptoms started. I didn't connect it to vaping since I've been vaping for over 4 years now. But then I read this:
E-Liquid Ingredients: Sensitivities and Allergic Reactions | White Cloud
So I quit vaping for 36 hours and things improved. About 4 hours ago I vaped lightly for about 15 minutes and symptoms are back again. I used to have a beer once in awhile but I lost interest in it about the same time the symptoms soon started afterwards. I dunno, did the beer detox the VG from my system? And now the VG builds up and my body has a hard time removing it?

Looks like they can do a test to see if one is allergic to glycerin, they you'll know for sure. Glycerin Allergy Threshold
"Your doctor can conduct a skin pprick test to determine your threshold for glycerin. The skin pprick test, usually conducted on your forearm, exposes your skin to a series of common allergens. Your health-care provider ppricks your skin with a tiny needle and applies a series of high-allergenic drops. Since glycerin is mild and non-toxic, you should not have any reactions to it during your skin test. If you do have a rash or other type of reaction to glycerin, you might have sensitive skin, according to MayoClinic.com. Your doctor will evaluate your skin reaction to determine if glycerin is safe for you."
