Here is my update so far!!
Thanks once again for all the responses. I'm glad some of you that have the same symptoms and struggles with this I am have commented here. I thought at first I may have been alone here...
Some of the people that have commented here have suggested that my sore throat may be linked to the higher 18mg nicotine level I have been vaping and I think that is a big part of it. I went down to 12mg with my recent purchase from virgin vapor and after vaping it for a couple days it doesn't hurt like it did before. I still feel a little bit of irritation but not as bad as before, and I really think that it had to do with the nicotine level. I like to chain vape when I'm at work and I do feel like I am "good" as far as the nicotine fix after 5 mins or so of vaping but i like to keep puffing though. I think I'm getting more then I need and I can't explain it but too much especially in the liquid form seems to irritate my throat.
Now I am going to try and test this and see if it really is the nicotine..I bought 2 15ml bottles of ice beard menthol from velvet cloud vapor, one with 12mg nicotine and one with none. I am going to mix them both in my protank and dilute the nicotine and see if my throat gets less irritated with less nicotine. This way I will eventually be able to get a perfect ratio of nicotine and still have the full flavor of the ice beard without diluting it with water. Hopefully this works for me and if it does I will just start ordering an even lower nicotine level of 6mg. I am still going to stick to organic eliquids also...for many reasons.
I got my order from virgin vapor on Tuesday and have been vaping it since then but still smoking some but a lot less analogs. I got a 3 sampler from their absolute line(without alcohol). Orange creamsicle, vanilla nut , and watermelon. At first I didn't like any of them but after vaping them more they all grew on me. I put them in ce4 clearomizers and then put one in my protank and I think they vaped better way better in the protank and tasted much better too. The orgainic virgin vapor flavors are more mellow then regular eliquid I have had, it really does have that organic taste and feel. I also purchased a 15ml of wintergreen from their regular line and I can smell the alcohol in it...I think that's what it is but it just smells and tastes weird. I'll let that one steep for a week or 2 and come back to it. My one complaint with virgin vapors was that they came an a mailing bag with very little protection and 2 of the bottles leaked all over the inside of the bag. The bottles weren't cracked I think the tops of the bottles were not tight or they came loose during transport. I emailed them last night about out it but haven't heard anything back from them yet.
Well that's it so far, I will let you guys know how the stuff I bought from velvet cloud vapors and guilty pleasure organics is/goes when I get it. I would highly recommend a protank2, I like mine so much I bought protank2 mini last night. Check out ebay you can get one for $13.
Thanks again for all your responses
