Help?

Hi All

Have been vaping on my 510Riva fir about 3 weeks now, before which I had a 901.

Just recently I have explored mixing flavours.

I bought some 24mg unflavoured vg and mixed it with some glycerine (with 10% water) and added flavours. I am now finding that vaping seems to irritate my throat more and can cause me to cough after about 15-20 puffs. This only seems to happen on my mixed ejuice.

Did i do something wrong?

Any help appreciated thanks.

It's rare, but not impossible for someone to have an adverse reaction to VG. What sort of juice were you using before? PG?

Also, what % of flavoring do you use?

I wish I knew a little more about mixing but I can say that I have quite a difference in throat comfort depending on VG or PG mixture and in my case I do NOT like PG so much and it will make me cough or my throat feel a little 'scratchy' sort of aggravated.
Not as much as tobacco but more than a heavy VG.

In your case maybe it is 'VG' that rubs you the wrong way.

I might mention that I tried some Menthol (which I do like in theory) but wow that really punched my throat and aggravates some coughing and that one was VG!

Seems to be some real mixing wizards here. I will sit back and listen. I'm sure you get good suggestions/solutions here.

I was using PG before. Im using about 1ml flavouring to 4ml VG at about 12mg.

Too much VG gives me too much phlegm....dunno how to describe but I've done it, and my phlegm is clear but present when I go 100 percent VG. A clear and present danger, lol. I tend to gravitate to pg heavy juices anyway.

My best advice to you is to get your post count up to 5 so that you are eligible to go to the DIY sub-forum here for some real advice, post-haste. And good luck, and welcome!

DIY e-liquid

Also, did you use distilled water or tap water? Just asking because most of our tap water is chlorinated which may be fine for ingestion (drinking) but not so sure I want to inhale chlorine into my lungs .

did you use e-liquid calculator for your mix

VG is glycerine so you are vaping almost all vg. Try adding pg to your 24 mg vg instead of vg. I vape 80% pg to 20% vg.
