Is this normal?

[Rezyuz]

I bought a greensmoke kit ( yes im going to return it -.- just found this forum a little to late ).

But after half a day orso my troath hurts ALOT. I normally smoke a pack a day atleast and never had any troath problems. Anyone know if this is normal?

The Green Smoke is pretty harsh plus they fill the cartos with juice made from 100% PG.

PG = more throat hit. VG = more vapor. Most people prefer a blend of PG and VG in their juice.

Edit: You may also be one of the few that are allergic to PG. There's a thread somewhere here on ECF discussing PG allergies.

Ahh thanks alot for that info, i saw some other websites mentioning PG/VG and as a newb not knowing anything about vaping i just ordered standard. There was this stupid website who listed greensmoke as best. Pretty much all do actually if you type on google " best ecig "

Hey, I replied in the other thread, but I'll just re-post.

When I used 100% PG I had the same problem if I vaped a lot in a single night. I switched to VG (by accidentally ordering it) and haven't had a throat problem since. It's all I use now.

ye i saw it, thanks for the reply. Posted in the other one aswell cuz i have to admit, was freaking out a little hehe.

Yeah, I had throat issues too until I figured out the whole "drink plenty of water" stuff I kept seeing on here meant drink more water.

I mean, I already drank more water than anyone else I've ever known. Why would I need to drink even more? But, I upped my already large water intake and the throat cleared up. Now it is just habit to drink water.

Yes!!

Sore throat is also one of the symptoms of smoking cessation, and vaping can cause dehydration.

Rezyuz, please try some drinking some extra fluids before assuming that you're sensitive to either PG or VG ... oh, and give your body a little time to heal from the smokes too.

It's a process ... but you'll get there. Good luck and happy vaping!

I had some throat dryness initially but not to the extent it hurt! BiffRocko's spot on, or the carto was running dry giving a dry hit? a thought perhaps? Good luck with your next purchase, e-cigs can give you OCD if your not careful, I'm healthier for it though lol.

100% PG made my throat and tongue very irritated and dry...VG is much smoother -- but using 100% VG greatly masks the flavor in standard pv's, and doesn't work well in cartomizers or tanks at all (doesn't wick well and often clogs them)...so, unless you're going to drip or get a mod, i'd go with a blend of both PG & VG, which is the best of both worlds, IMO.

80% PG, 20% VG is a very common blend offered by many vendors (or, you can make it yourself) -- much less harsh, yet still offers a decent throat hit, good flavor, and decent vapor.

Yes - both KR808 models are 3.7v and the hottest minis. The heat adds to the TH. And many people find 24mg prefills too irritating on a KR808 model. I use KR808D-1 (Vapor4Life) and buy their blanks and fill them myself with juices with 20% VG

Also - vaping can be drying - you need to drink fluids.

 

[BiffRocko]

For the record, the Green Smoke is an E9 (KR808D-2) and not compatible with D-1 threads.

 

[Critter Man]

Sore throat doesn't mean you're allergic to PG, so don't think you need to go to 100% VG if you don't want to. Try taking a sip of water before you vape, and sip every few minutes while vaping. Sip water because flavored drinks may affect how your vape tastes and make you think you don't like your juice. With that much irritation, though, you may wish to try 50/50 PG/VG juice just to see if it helps.

To your health!

I think it's normal. To buy the greensmoke kit that is. Did the same thing. Just didn't work at all for me. I suggest sending it back, throwing it away, or whatever and starting again. I would suggest an eGo tank type system but that's just me. Gazillions of choices available but you have learned like me that greensmoke is not at the top. Get better equipment and I suspect sore throat will no long be an issue.
