I think I'm doing it wrong. Need Help!!!

[Dale002]

I purchase the eGo- CTwist and two bottle of juices one 3mg nic Unflavored VG base and one Minty Menthol zero Nic. My plans were to either vape then as stand alone juice or add some methol to the base and vape it.. However, when I vape, it give me this heavy full feeling to my lungs.
My question is, Did i buy the correct juices or juices for the DIY? Can these juices be vape alone?
I like menthol taste Tabacco can someone recommend one that it would not be so heavy?
I have been cig free for about 2 months,but I need vaping to think! I dont like this heavy feeling in my lungs thou.

I have nothing but someone will be along to help. It's fine vaping either juice stand alone or together but maybe there's something about VG that's not agreeing with you.

I started vaping only VG liquids because PG gave me a killer headache. It makes my lungs feel heavy so I try to only inhale into my lungs every 4 or 5 hits. If my lungs get too heavy that it starts to feel uncomfortable I lay off for 15 minutes or so and my lungs clear up again. I'm hoping my lungs will adjust so I don't have to keep taking breaks like that :-/

have you tried PG yet. Go to the other side of the spectrum and try an 80/20 PG VG blend. See how that feels, you can always up the VG ratio by mixing your other VG and some of the 80/20 in another bottle, try that. eventually you will find a blend that works. I just started, was 80/20. The throat hit from the pg for me was a bit much, so tried a sweet flavor that was 10/90. Finding that much VG is hard to vape on my equipment, burning a lot, guess it's not wicking. So i am going to dilute it and make it a 50/50 and see how that works.

Have you tried lowering your voltage? Even at 50/50, if the voltage is a bit too high it produces a thicker vapor that might explain the heaviness.

You don't have to take a lung hit in vaping as the nicotine is absorbed by the mouth and nasal tissues and tongue. Take the vapor into the mouth and expel. Without combustion, i.e., atomization, the nicotine molecule is too large for absorption through the lung tissue. The higher PG ratio, suggested above, is also good. Good luck!

When you vape a juice that is high in VG it will give you that heaviness in your lungs. Puff it like a cigar without inhaling it into your lungs and you will feel much better. I also like juices that are high VG but it can feel heavy after a while. I just stop inhaling into my lungs and it goes away. Also if you do not have any problems with PG I would add some to your mix to thin it out a bit.
Hope this helps!
Good Luck!
