I started vaping a few months ago and never really had too many issues. I was originally vaping 50/50 and 60/40 PG/VG blends. I recently got some max VG and I've got a sub ohm build. I've been getting a heavy lung feeling and seems like e liquid is sticking to the back of my throat causing me to clear my throat constantly. I never had the issue with the 50/50 and 60/40. Is that a pretty common side affect of max VG or is it just me?

Hmm. I use max VG juice from MBV and 100% organic VG from Virgin Vapor and I haven't had any issues like that. PG made my throat hurt like hell but I'm sensitive to it, which is why I only use 100% VG in the first place (moot point I know, since you didn't ask about PG). Sorry, wish I could give you a better answer on your problem but VG works great for me personally.
It's not just you; I have similar and even worse issues if I go over 30% VG. Adding a little distilled water helps a little, but the only way I can really deal with it is sticking to at least 75% PG.

Many folks get a heavy chest to hard to breathe feeling from high % VG juices.
Some flavorings can give some folks the same feeling.

In my case it's also nicotine, anything more than 6mg makes it hard to breathe. I'll check low VG juice, see what happens.
You could try to isolate the issue by vaping some straight glycerin with nothing added, you can pick up a bottle real cheap from Walmart or similar stores. If that gives you the heavy feeling, you know it's primarily the VG causing the problem 
I have seen people say that about high VG juices. More than once. I used to do 100% VG but never had the problem. Still, that would be my prime suspect.
I usually exhale through my nose if not dripping (sometimes while dripping, too). I get "frosty" nose hairs.
Could be because of all the cilia in your lungs being coated with the vg, due being so thick vapor
Just troubleshooting

Happens to me sometimes if I chain vape 50/50 blends. Feels like i'm drowning and like the lungs are heavy.
Any more than 60% VG does the same thing to me...in fact over 50% and I notice it within the first few pulls-- but it really doesn't bother me until I get to 60% VG
Typically I vape either 50/50 or 60/40
BTW..the best way to find out what works best for you is to do some DIY. I've tested a bunch of different ratios and Nic contents to find out what works well for me.
Only you can determine what will satisfy your needs!
