OK I'll start by admitting that I feel kind of silly saying this, but its better to say it than not. Recently much of my e-juice has been very harsh, the flavor has been off, and it has been uncomfortable to vape. I bought some new juice and its been mostly fine though. I developed a dry cough and have a tickling sensation in my lungs that makes me cough. This is new to me. Now, brace yourself for the paranoid part.
We are staying with my mother in law for a while and she is an anti vaping, anti nicotine, anti everything kind of person. I am wondering if she put something nasty in my e-juice to teach me a lesson, or to cause a bad taste. I can just hear her thoughts now, "I'll be doing him a favor by spraying this Windex in his filthy e-juice bottles. He'll quit then! After all, its not like Windex is any worse for him than the poison he is already vaping every day".
So, what do you think? How can I tell if I'm being poisoned by an ANTZ freak?

Make a doctor's appointment, there's a bad virus going around :?:

This and if you're really that paranoid, then throw out the bottles of ejuice you took with you and get new ones.

She must really be "intense" (to put it nicely) for you to think her capable of it.

Drink lots of water and lower your nicotine and amount of pg.

Happy Holidays!

If you're living with Dr Crippen, then refill security is where you need to up your game...

There's nothing wrong with a bit of rational paranioa, because sometimes it can work to keep you safe. I led a slightly dangerous lifestyle at one time, when younger, but because I'm an engineer I fully appreciated Murphy's Law and Sod's Law; so I used to try and minimise the risks, where possible. Others laughed at my precautions, and some rationalised the cost/time expense and didn't care for my approach. Some of them are dead now but I'm still standing.

The lesson as far as I'm concerned is: if it's not too hard to minimise risk then you might as well do so. If the risk is high then so will the time or expense be to tie up the loose ends, and you'll have to decide how far to go down that road. Some call it paranoia, but like everything it's just a matter of opinion.

Yep. My advice, if you think that's a possibility, throw that juice out now and get some fresh stuff. And a locking case to store it in.
