Morning everyone ,
So recently I tried out this vaping thing and began experiencing issues such as burning in my chest , light headedness , etc .
I have decided to seek out input from my doctor .
He ran 3 tests and described what I was experiencing was a result of
" Aerisol poisoning " which causing a burning sensation in the lungs and headaches , light headedness and so on .
I was advised that this condition is seen in people that sniff paint and Aerisol products . Ok that's seriously scary .
Apparently some people and I'm using the word " Some " have a very low tolerance to some of the additives in the juice , has anyone ever heard of this " Aerisol poisoning " ?
This is very discouraging information
I'm not sure I want to continue using these products if this is indeed the case .

All I can say is , if these products work for you great , I guess their not for me but at least I gave it a try , I guess that chandix stuff isn't for everyone either I suppose this is no different.
Earlier someone suggested the process of elimination, which at $22-$30 a bottle that could get costly ,
Not sure that's an avenue I care to take . But again at least I tried . I can say that you never know till u try .

Actually - no. If you do the barest DIY, you can perform the process of elimination yourself.
You can get giant bottles of VG/PG for a few bucks, and a small bottle of nicotine for not much more, and then you'll have the necessary ingredients to test yourself for PG sensitivity and nicotine tolerance.
Flavours can also be had for quite cheap.
Pre-made 'craft' ejuice costs a fortune, IME...

Honestly, I'm on the fence with this hole matter really that
Aerisol poisoning thing is def a topic to be concerned about without a doubt .
Plus I haven't got any idea about this stuff your talking about as far as process of elimination, I just hate to waste more $$ on this stuff if it's a failure . E juice stuff were I live is kinda pricey .

As far as nic tolerance I been smoking for years I doubt nic is the prob honestly , never had chest burning , lightheaded , headaches all that stuff before like this , I'm pretty sure it's something in the juice has to be , I just need to decide weather I want to waste more $$ or just move on as I said .
As I said very discouraging

Flaguy, try Vaping unflavoured and get a second doctors opinion.
There is no Aerosol poisoning going on with Vaping ... and you are likely not the first case of it either.
As I said, change the juice to something like unflavoured ... try some Walmart plain VG.
What exact brand of juice are you Vaping?

Well the doctor told me that PG in many house hold cleaning products as well as soaps and many detergents . It is also the main component in many hygiene products . To which VG is the main ingredient in many food items of course . As for the aresol poisoning I would assume he's referring to the burning chest pains etc .
Because PG can be found in many aresol products .
However as far as the flavoring though that's the question I guess what's really in that , I honestly want to study more into this stuff before I waste anymore $$$
1 juice I used was Cosmic fog
Made my chest burn so bad it felt like my lungs were on fire
$30 a bottle ..... Total waste
Tasted like I was swallowing Lysol spray " awful "
I also have another it's supposed to be a tropical drink or fruit vape , had issues with this 1 also both made me super light headed and chest burning and headaches ..... Even if I never do this vape thing I still want to look into why this was a failure

A friend of mine was in Home Depot and was reading the back of a bug spray can and found the words
Propylene Glycol .
And that's bug spray .... I'm not to sure how I feel about that .
This is def a topic I want to read more up on before I consider using these products further

Sorry and no disrespect to @Flaguy50, but this is starting to head in a very questionable direction. I can accept that he is experiencing some difficulties in his attempts at vaping, but.....
"Aerosol poisoning." That seems like a fairly generic term referring to a method of "poisoning." A search resulted in information about "poisoning" and "aerosol abuse", but little about "aerosol poisoning." It would seem "aerosol" was used simply because the op brought up the inhalation from vaping. Focusing on the actual diagnosis, that being "poisoning" ("aerosol" just being a method of which), it seems odd that a doctor would determine that a patient was "poisoned" and then send them on their way. But wait! Before turning them loose, make sure to advise them that "this condition is seen in people that sniff paint and Aerisol products" in an attempt to drive home the point vaping is no better! Amazing that there have been no reports of any vaper being treated for "aerosol poisoning."
Again, my apologies to op for my reaction. If all you have shared is true, it would be somewhat of a rarity. Personally, I would not put too much concern on an "aerosol poisoning" or any "poisoning" at all. A reaction to vaping or ingredient(s), perhaps, but no more/no less. If you view it as "seriously scary", perhaps going back to smoking (or quitting by another method) is your best option.
Bit I cannot sit quietly while vaping is being likened to "sniffing paint!"

That's exactly why I am requesting pictures ... too much does not add up.

Is there a link that gets pics off ones phone , plus gentleman I am sharing what I have experienced and I am well away many folks whom have had success with these products will certainly defend it to the last against those that have had problems with the products that's just basic human nature . But as I said the above is what what said to me and I was advised to stop using the products . If you guys would pref that I stop posting here because my experience was very negative with these products please just advise me of this matter and I will leave and post no more , if truthful negative experiences are not welcome plz advise me of such and I will leave .
Honestly to give someone the impression that this isn't possible or that isn't possible , anything is possible in reality anything at all as adults we know this .
Thanks

@Flaguy50 :
Sorry if you took my post wrong. I thought I was clear in my opening statement that " I can accept that he is experiencing some difficulties in his attempts at vaping", difficulties that based on what I know and have read are rare.
Let me be clear, my objections are to the comments from your doctor you claim he made and I have no reason to doubt you. And to be just as clear, based on what I do know, if any of my doctors diagnosed "a poisoning" (aerosol or otherwise) from vaping, they would move right to the top of my former doctor list! Then, on top of that, likens vaping to "sniffing paint?" If one were to cast a negative light on vaping, could you come up with a worse one?
I sympathize with your situation. But looks like the ball is in your court. You can take your doctor's "expert advice" and give up vaping or go to work with the suggestions you have been given here. That's just how I see it, but perhaps somebody else has something better to offer.
I just saw where you say you got a PM. If not from a mod, I would disregard it. If not against board rules, I would welcome a PM copy/paste of it.

Propylene Glycol is used as a propellant in asthma inhalers, and is mixed in with hospital air systems because of it's antimicrobial properties.
In other words, if you saw PG in bug spray, it was in there as a propellant and/or carrying agent, and not because it does double duty as an insect killer.
Honestly, you could buy some large bottles of top-grade VG and PG for like USD$5 from Amazon or whatever, and test what's really going on very easily.
