Higher VG and coughing fits

[rsdntbplr]

I've recently started using 75VG/25PG and I've noticed it makes me cough - a lot. It's okay when I do a shallow inhale but if I want to take it all the way back, it sends me into a crazy episode of painful coughing almost to the point of throwing up. It's not a harsh throat hit or even harsh on my lungs. It just REALLY tickles the back of my throat.

It's like vaping a feather duster. Anybody else react in a similar way to VG? I guess it could even be the distilled water I use to dilute the VG - perhaps condensing at the back of my throat and causing irritation. I dunno. I can take it but I fear I might be being stupid to carry on vaping this stuff.

Are you trying to blow clouds?

If you try and drip with the nic content too high this can happen. Happened to me just last night, as a matter of fact.

I use pure VG and have nasty coughing fits. I also smoke a hookah, so I thought that was doing it, but if I trace back to when the coughing realy started, it was probably when I started mixing my own e-juice. Hmm. When I buy premade stuff with PG from CleanSmoke, the throat hit is better than my own stuff, with a few exceptions, and I can't remember much coughing with it. I also taste the sort of nutty nicotene flavor less with premades, even the VG ones, than I do with my DIY juices. I will be making some juices tonight and will try adding some PG and see where it takes me.
Have you noticed a difference when you vape PG? Less coughing?

Yes high vg does make me cough and too high vg leaves your lungs feeling scarily heavy

Higher PG and I don't get it at all. 50/50 seems to treat me the kindest.
