Having weird symptoms after 1 solid month of vaping.

[greymattergirl]

Been vaping for a month solid..some pg/vg 70/30, and some 100% vg. The pg/vg mix has been my primary juice..I have noticed what seemed quite slight at first seems to be getting worse..itchy mouth, burning in mouth and throat, sneezing, coughing, puffy eyes. I thought at first maybe I just needed to do some xtra dusting around my house..but I'm starting to have to ask the question, is it my vaping? I went to the threads here on ECF and it seems that people with pg problems experiance external symptoms, such as itchy skin, legs, dry patches etc...aside from abnormal skin breakouts on my face, all my symptoms seem to be more internal. I am going to try to go strait vg for a couple of days and see if it makes a diff..which makes me sad because my fav juices arent offered as strictly vg. I was wondering if anyone has experianced thses symptoms, or knows what might be going on?

The breakouts will pass (eventually)... normal.

The other things..... IDK. Just a thought.... Try, as you said, 100% vg. Also, you might try a skin test with a few drops of each type of juice. Also.... what is your nic level? Have you switched flavors?

FYI - I had one plain-VG for my DIY that was giving me lip/mouth irritation. When I switched it out, no problems. I'm not sure that all supplies and/or juices are created equal. Flavoring can be an issue too.

Since you are in warm Florida... Try vaping outside for a few days... see if the eyes clear up.

2 cents. Good Luck!

My nic level is a 12 most of the time, every now and again a 16. The last week or two I have been vaping BWB and Vaperite pretty much exclusively. Def hitting the BWB 90% of the time. I have def had both in close contact with my skin on multiple occasions with zero reaction..it seems to really only flare up when I vape..aside from the facial breakouts. Thanks for your input..I love vaping more than I did analogs, I would hate to have to quit!

I thought maybe I was having some bad reactions to it myself this week, after about a month of vaping. I think though, I am just getting sick. Throat is hurting, head is stuffy, etc...
My plan is basically not vaping right now or very little. I would normally do that with smoking if I were sick too though. I have been on BWB almost exclusively (6mg) for the past couple of weeks, and been having a few FSUSA flavors here and there. The only one I have noticed that really affcted my throat was the sample of Water/Razzle 24 mg that FSUSA sent to me. Not in love with taste, but the TH was great, however it also made my throat a little scratchy. Maybe something with that particular one caused a problem for me, or maybe like I said, I am just coming down with a cold.

Maybe try using 100% VG for a bit since you have some, see how it goes, if it gets better, cool, if not, switch to 100% PG for a bit and see what happens.
I have seen people who have bad reactions to PG or VG, although PG is more common to cause problems for people.

Some people are sensitive to PG, some I believe also to VG, and some to certain flavors. General skin breakout is a moderately commonly reported thing, though I believe it tends to pass.

It's also possible to be coming down with something totally non-PV related. DW and I had bad colds coming back from vacation, though since she doesn't vape it obviously wasn't from PV use.
