Are you using 100% PG juice or excessive nicotine? Nicotine is a skin irritant and PG lets through the most flavor, most nicotine hit, most nicotine irritation. That can can a dry irritated/sore feeling. Try juices with some VG in them. In stuffing cartos I use 20% Vg or less, for normal atomizers I use up to 50%, and tanks like 20-30% but may work OK with some thinner 50/50 juices.

And liquids - vaping can be drying. You need to keep hydrated. Also not overdo vaping. So I don't vape constantly, I leave the ecigs in another room so I have to get up and go there to vape. That really cuts down on vaping.

hmm. Id say change your juice. Use some VG juice instead. PG can have bad reactions with people and give them dryness, sickness and allergies. avejuice.com sells all VG juices. Or some other places where you can custoomize what ratios you want. Dont know off the top of my head but im sure other people can chime in on some VG vendors.

I am using a 50/50 mix in all the juices i have gotten so far I am an 4 to 11mg vapor so its not too strong. I am prone to panic attacks so any slight change or a "trouble breathing" will set me off. I havent been drinking a ton of water but have had 3 bottles tonight alone. My husband did talk me into taking a zyrtec so between the 2 im probably EXTRA dried out tonight. I will definatly drink more water and look into getting some vg juice to see if it helps the allergies.

You can also buy VG at the store and cut some of your own juice yourself. This is of course if you don't mind cutting some of the nic content.Humco brand glycerin, pharmacy section, walmart. It says USP on it. It is vegetable glycerin but for whatever reason only says glycerin on the bottle. Maybe that can help get you buy untill your VG juices come in.

I too have allergies and live in the desert, so I'm very prone to drying out. As a rule of thumb, I drink till my head clears and I can breath through my nose again. It was a change of habit for the better. Breathing too much through my mouth will dry me out faster. Also, I take a potassium gluconate supplement that helps keep my electrolytes balanced and fluids better distributed throughout my system.
