I was having that problem, and also felt like a thick coating on my throat. I was vaping a 50pg/50vg mix. I went higher with the pg content and haven't had any problems since. I also have COPD. If your allergic to pg then I'm not sure what to suggest. I now use only 70pg/30vg and no problems with that.
The lungs will eventually start to clear. Remember they are filled with all kinds of phlegm and gunk from the years of tobacco. It was about 3 months after I quit that I stopped hocking up the phlegm. Stay with it and it will get a little less congested each week.
Not sure whats going on with my lungs but I've been vaping exclusively for 2 months now, I can no longer tolerate ejuice with extra flavoring. It just irritates me to the point where I now cough. And I never coughed much before, vaping or when I smoked.
So I'm using an unflavored nic base to mix with powerfully flavored ejuice, so far so good.

Hi... I too have the "Heavy" feeling. Not as much as when I first started a little over 2 weeks ago but it
is still there some, especially in the morning.
My coughing has also slowed way down and my wheezing (partially from smoking / partially from asthma)
is gone now.

Same as tnt here.
I have been vaping 50/50 for the last few days and i have heavy feeling in my lungs also the thick coating. I never had the feeling with juice with higher pg ratio.
I will go with 70/30 and see if that helps.

My wife say she experiances something similar to what you explaining, i thought maybe it was the PG/VG, but we have tried every ratio and she still gets the negitive effects, so because of that she is still on analogs 
Make sure you're drinking lots of water as vaping is extremely dehydrating. Some have also reported a heaviness in the chest while using high VG juice. Industry juice standards are 70/30 or 80/20 PG/VG.
When I first started I had that heavy feeling. I had to stop vaping for a few days until it cleared. I was using 100% VG juice that I mixed myself. In my case I wasn't a cigarette smoker prior so I know it was from the juice. Now at the most I'll use 50% VG and I seem to be fine.

I found VG gave me heavy lungs too,It also gave me a lot of tummy problems.I use mostly PG now with a few drops of VG to add a bit more vapour and it has been fine for over a year.
Damn. I get that too. And I have a crap load of 30/70 juce to get through.
I also really like the vapor amount that 30/70 produces.

VG causes me problems too. Scared me when I first started vaping. I stick to 80/20 PG/VG and do fine with it.
You guys think there would be a tremendous difference in vapor production between 30/70 and 70/30 pg/vg?
And would switching to 70/30 be enough for someone who doesn't do well with VG or would it have to be 100% PG?

I tried to go from 80/20 PG/VG to 75/25 PG/VG, and immediately got the heavy lung, mucus and nausea effects. So, as little as a 5% increase was enough to send me back to 80/20. Unbelievable, considering all that crap from ciggies, that I should be so sensitive, but it is what it is...you just need to find what your body can handle.
I had the same problem but I found it was the flavorings, not the VG bothering me.
Buy a small bottle of straight VG with no flavoring in it, just NIC and see how it effects you.
I'm now using 100% VG juices and found juices that are giving me no problems.
PG is too harsh for me and causes a sore throat.

If the VG is too viscous, what about adding distilled water? (VG and nictotine are both water soluble- the flavouring might be a diff story tho)
I can't vape pg higher than 15%. Horrible reactions, the most visible being bleeding gums. I do dilute my vg with distilled water at 15 to 20% and it's thin enough not to clog cartos, etc., without any side effects.
Can you name some of the juices you found that are ok? I get sneezy from some, but I haven't been able to isolate it yet.
