Itchy?

[WhatChuSay]

Hello everyone!

I just got my first PV in today! 510.

My question is, I got a juice that is 50/50 PG/VG 12 mg. When I hit it, I get an itchy feeling in the back of my throat. Is that normal?

Itchy or scratchy?

I know that PG is a skin irritant, so it will cause your throat to feel scratchy (similar to a strong cigarette would do) -- But itchy could very well indicate a PG allergy.

Its more itchy. Thank you for the quick reply! I had a feeling that it might be an allergy problem. I just wasnt sure, I've never vaped before.

I'll order a 100% VG next time.

Thanks again!

nicotine is a skin irritant too, and some flavors have their own throat sensations (especially spices, mint, menthol)

I had the same problem when i got my first starter kit, but eventually worked through it and haven't had that feeling since. I think it's normal for some people who may be more sensitive to the PG than others, but it's probably smart of you to switch to 100% VG anyways just to be on the safe side.
