Some of you know that I have allergic reactions to PG to the point where I cannot breathe. I started my whole vaping experience with a 50/50 mix a few months back and quickly realized that PG was the culprit......

Ok, so I have been thinking about trying to make myself get used to PG and was going to slowly start introducing a PG/VG mix into my daily vape. I received some winnings from Bad and Danno today and included was a bottle of Flux Swedish Fish 12mg nic at a 70/30 PG/VG mixture. I loaded up one of the clearos that they sent me and while I cannot explain it....so far I have not had any problems vaping this ratio??? I mean it is 70%PG so it should be REALLY giving me problems!

Thoughts anyone???

The only thing I can think of, is if its PG in combination with other allergies. So back then, were you having seasonal allergies or just comming off of a cold? It may be that certain times of the year, you will just have to stick to VG?

I'm not a doctor, but stayed at a Holiday Inn last year.

On the edge of insanity..
red I am so jealous about the fish... wanna trade.... lol... Is it true to the fishies we had as kids????
I don't know, what did you get? I never had the Swedish Fish as a kid, so I cannot speak on that. It is very sweet, and I have to take breaks from it and vape something else from time to time. I can see using this to thin/sweeten up some of my other juices.

Take it easy and just watch. You may come to find out that it wasn't an allergy after all. Or it could have been a reaction to another allergy already present and the juice you had before just exasperated it. Just don't overdo it and see what happens. It may also have been something in the other juice base that did it, or the flavorings they used. So many different factors could have been at play back then. Your lungs are also healthier now than they were when you started as they have been healing since you put down the ciggies.

I have heard the Propylene Glycol made from cat fat has little or no allergic properties...

Fixed that for you. :)

I guess that could have something to do with it? I am prone to seasonal allergies, so maybe when my hay fever was starting to kick in it was too much for my system? Thanks Sev!

Yeah, I will have to try this out for a little while to see if anything happens and then introduce others.

Very true....thank you Keela :wub:

If you are prone to hay fever, you may find that they are more noticeable now that you don't smoke. Some of the "stuff" in ciggies helps to mask a lot of the allergies. One of those double edge sword deals unfortunately. I know my allergies have been worse since I quit the cigs.....at least 3 fold. But, I'll deal with head stuffiness and taking little pills when I need to over the tight chest with exercise any day.

I got a mystery bottle with no lable, but I am pretty sure it is Orange cream. I would give ya the whole bottle just for a 1 or 2 ml sample of the fish. I just don't want to buy 36ml to find out I don't like it. done that too many times and finances don't allow for it

What where you vaping from what you found the allergy?
I about gave up on vaping not wanting to go all VG myself when I had reactions. Took me some time and a lot of tears, but I found out it was not PG that was bothering me but the fluff in the standard cartos. Thus my love for top coils and the phoenix...

Oh yeah...I have definitely noticed other allergies that while I knew I had, but were never that bad. I cannot even be in someones house now that has pets. I can walk from the front door and then straight out the back door and within 10 minutes I am sneezing and coughing :( I went and purchased some Benadryl til I can make a doctors appt.
