Hi. I am relatively new at vaping -about 6 weeks - but I had the same reaction when I started. It got better with time but it still happens if I vape non-stop. I read on this forum that drinking water helps.
Sorry to hear you've got probs..
What percentage are you vaping 80/20 ?
how long since your last stinkie ?
have you tried different mixes ?

OK... disclaimer 1st.... This is not medical advice, see your doctor... we can't diagnose you personally, or tell if something else is going on.....
PG is rough on the throat. Try some VG if you don't think you are sensitive to it. Many people find a 50/50 mix to be OK.
Headache is often too much nicotine. Try either vaping less, or cutting the juice.
The atomizer can sometimes not be working at 100% and this can make it harsh too.
And you're right... it could be a cold.
P.S. Some water helps.
P.P.S. Lay off the cat cookies
Since I been vaping I've only used PG and my throat hurts and I keep coughing and i have a killer headache could this be because I can't take smoking PG?I think it's a cold.. but worth asking..

Headache could be due to dehydration, drink lots of water. The cough could be your lungs cleaning themselves out a bit. The throat issue could be caused by the PG but I am not sure.
How long have you been vaping for?

I had that issue for the 1st two weeks, dry scratchy throat and off and on headaches. I think I was getting used to the switch. It is gone now!!!!! So worth it.
Before vaping I dealt with a slight morning smokers cough and gravel voice but it is GONE.

I'm almost at 2 weeks and I had all the same problems. In fact, today is the first day I've actually felt better.
I think mine was a combination of a cold and the quitting analogs at the same time. Which made it pretty frustrating to have both at the same time and have to wonder which one is the problem. I'm still coughing a bit but I'm just glad my throat doesn't hurt as much. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.

You will find the first couple of weeks to be rough as your body is adjusting to not smoking analogs. If after that you're still having symptoms try adjusting your nic & pg/vg percentages, if that doesn't help try a different flavor as sometimes people are sensitive to the flavoring. And as always drink lots and lots of water - not caffeinated beverages as that will also dehydrate you
It could be alot of things. Nic level too high, not drinking enough water, or allergies to pg or vg. It really is a process of elimination. Good luck.
Lest we not forget, it IS cold and flu season. It wouldn't hurt you to go to the Dr and see if that's whats going on. If you put off going to the Dr because you think it might be vape related, and you really are sick, then the time you waited could just make you sicker. PG dehydrates you by bonding with the moisture in your mouth, throat and lungs, that is part of the vapor you see when you exhale- your own body water! So, yes, drink extra water. Some people are allergic to PG and that may cause some of these symptoms as well. My bottom line advice though is to rule out a real illness by going to the DR.
ermm only tried the PG with 18 nic ermm.. and grape and peanut butter <-yuk.. this freaks me out.. errmm ClassWife is sending me a care package with some VG in it.. so we will see if that is the case... I haven't tried any mixes and I am a scaredy cat to mix my own stuff.. so haven't gone there yet..
Atty is fine. I have been vaping a bit much.. only cause I am craving a ciggie... I know.. "bad kitty!"
but good thing is I have not had a analog for a while now WOOT!
Been drinking alot of water, juice, milk etc... it is a bit of a cold took meds and went into a hot bath and feel 50% better.. also backing off the ego so not vaping as much.. but lord i wanna! o.o
P.S... GIMME THE COOKIES!
YAY for the fact I am not alone in feeling this way...
Sad that we all have to get these effects
but it is all being done for the better of our lives so .. cold or not imma suffer through this.. xoxo thanks for the feedback xoxo!
+1 for everything Atty said,
+2 for laying off the cat's cookies, poor kitty...
I know.. meanie!!!!!
take away all my fun why don't you! lol
Called and made an appointment for tomorrow noon my time.. so imma pray I don;t need a shot cause i scared of those blood sucking nurses...
Actually, most of us go through this the first couple weeks. It is mainly the effects of quitting analogs...headaches, cold sx, sore throat (I thought I had strep) etc. On top of normal quitting stuff, the PG also dries you out...drink a lot of water! I lived on crystal light, chloraseptic and cough drops much of the first 2 wks. Also, gargling mouthwash helps a bit. I almost gave up but then it started getting better. So, the idea it is an allergy to PG is very unlikely, not impossible though.
Relax and pace yourself...Your body wasn't just addicted to the nicotine...analogs have over 4000 other chemicals that your body is learning to live without-it's a process
