Extremely sore throat from too much vape?

[minimal]

I'm going through a ton of stress at my job and recently began vaping ALOT more than I normally would, in two days I went through a 30mL bottle (not sure if that's a lot for some of you, but for me it is!)

about five days ago I woke up and my throat was EXTREMELY sore, extreme strep throat sore. For several days I could hardly talk and had excessive coughing spurts every 15-30 minutes. It's finally calmed down, last night I smoked a few cigarettes and had no discomfort in my throat, but I picked up my vape and tried to take a hit and the pain cannot be described. Today the same thing, I had a cigarette and was fine but when I go to hit my vape it's just unreal how bad the pain is in the back of my throat.

I know some people can have a bad reaction to the PG but I've been vaping for three + years and never had this type of problem. Has anyone else had this experience? Should i let my throat heal a little more before vaping? I just don't understand how a cigarette can be fine and the pain from the vape be so much.

Are you sure you aren't sick? I had strep throat over Christmas. It had been so long, the first 3 days, I didn't realize it was strep. Then it was Christmas Eve, and my doctor was closed. The day after Christmas I realized they were closed the rest of the weekend, and I had to go to an urgent care. So please keep your eye on it just in case.

Maybe try a higher vg juice for less throat hit? Maybe a menthol?

Your throat needs a rest.


your nicotine strength and wattage are relevant.
by the sounds of it a doctor visit sounds in order.

Strep throat is a bacterial infection. Your symptoms sound more like an allergic reaction to me, but I'm not a doctor so take this all with the grain of salt it should be taken with.

With allergies things can change almost overnight. I would leave that juice alone for a long time and get this checked out by a doctor. If you don't want to see a doctor, at least switch juice, go really slow with the new one and see how it goes.

Best of luck with it

Same here. I'm currently having the same problem as you. I have had this happen several times.
I'm using 100% VG. Only thing that helps is a Ricolla throat drop and reducing my vape time.

Drink a lot of water.

Water is your friend. You might be sick. Strep has been going around like crazy this season.
Also, could be an allergy in your juices... but if you've been vaping the same juices for a while now, it wouldn't be that.

I've gone through a 50 ML bottle in a 24 hour period and did not experience what you are experiencing, but everyone is different. A visit to the Doc doesn't sound like a bad idea.

Hope you get it resolved
