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

So, pg does dry you out a bit... I noticed the cravings got really bad this morning.. out of no where... I smelled someone outside smoking and I got sick at the smell.. like really sick.. I sprayed air stuff, turned on fans and was really pissy at one point.. like damn I want one so bad.. but I kept thinking.. your gonna stink like those people if you do.. I know it's not just the nic i am craving.. clearly that craving is being met...

Yes, you will still get cravings for awhile...you loaded your body with many chemicals for a long time and suddenly took all but one away!! It DOES get better, I promise. I smoked 1-1 1/2 PAD for 27 yrs and quit the second I started vaping. As amazed as I am at how easy it was since NOTHING ever helped before, it is not without any effort at all.

Yes, PG is naturally very drying. If it doesn't get better in a few days, try to decrease PG and increase VG for awhile, maybe a 50/50?

Maybe this might help you. I've been vaping for 40 days now. I used to be a 1.5 PAD smoker.

My 1st week I got my eGo I vaped that stuff SILLY. Noticed about day 2 my throat, ears and chest getting VERY angry. I started researching and found ECF, TOTAL LIFE SAVER. After reading posts about other people's issues I cut back on my sweets intake, avoided smokers for a week, drank plenty of fluids.

At 1st I thought I was getting strep, my throat and ears hurt soooooo bad that I would wind up with massive migraines.

I truly think your body is going thru chemical withdrawls. But because I wasn't super fond of 80%PG I wound up going to 50/50, now today you won't catch me vaping anything but 75% VG / 25% PG unless I'm super low on Glycerin or VG.

If you do buy a pre-mix say of 50/50 and you want more VG. Just get urself a bottle of Wilton's Glycerin from Walmart (it's in the party/cakes/wedding section) I just buy higher mg pre-mixes say 24mg and put it into a bottle 3/4 full and then fill the rest of the 1/4 with Glycerin, it'll save you some money as well as cut ur PG and nic intake.

I started vaping 36mg 80PG/20VG. I now vape 16 - 24mg depending on my nerves for the day :)

I hope you are given a clean bill of health from your doctor, and try looking into DIY even if it's learning how to lower ur pre-mix mg or add a little VG to what you already have.

Goodluck and VAPE ON!!

You rock.. you went over everything I am feeling even down to the ears..
I notice that smelling second hand smoke now bothers me and makes me sick as a dog..
It's like i wanna grab those non-vapors and shake them a bit and tell them wth are they doing.. but I gotta hold myself back..

Thank you all so much for the feedback and letting me know i am not alone.. it helps so much!
