I've been analog free for 24 days! I was having a problem with PG giving me a sore throat so I switched to 100% VG about 4-5 days ago... I no longer have a sore throat but I constantly sound like I am losing my voice, and I notice it gets worse the more I vape. WTH is going on? Any ideas on how to correct this?

I noticed my voice sounds funny since I quit analogs too. mabe this is how our voices are really supposed to sound after cigarettes have done their damage.
I assume you are drinking plenty of water so I won't tell you to drink more cause water intake is walking a fine line. Not enough, you dehydrate, too much you're flushing things like potassium out of your system which can cause other problems: for example cramping.
Try carrying some lozenges around with you or something like it.
You might also try some other brands of liquid and/or flavors to see if what you are using is the culprit.
It also just maybe that your getting your normal voice back.

My voice is a little different as well. Its a little more raspy sounding. I think its just because we have a new substance that we are inhaling and its probably drying our voice boxes out a little. It only does it every now and again...im not worried about it. Beats gettin cancer from analogs.
I think it's just that we're so happy to have quit that we're telling everyone therefore talking much more than usual...
It may be the vaping. However, vaping may have nothing to do with it. I live in AZ and people around here are losing their voice, have a bit of a scratchy throat, etc. None of these people are smokers or vapers. Some end up with more serious lung and bronchial infections. My hubby is one of those affected and he is a non-smoker & non-vaper.
Talked with family in Nebraska. Same thing there. Talked with cousin in Iowa. Same thing there. Talked with girlfriend in Texas, same thing there. Talked with neighbor in MN, same thing there. I suspect this is a nationwide health issue.
Could you be one of this growing number?
Hope you feel better real soon,
Happy Vaping,
Paula

Might want to drink more fluids, and try vaping a little less during an urge, or trying some hard candies during breaks of vaping
Lots of water.
PG tends to dry up the throat, while VG causes it to muffle up a little. (from my experience)
Am trying various proportions of PG/VG mix with different levels of nic.
Also, i went thru the same phase right after quitting analogs, after 17 years. consider it a transition phase.
While i didn't, the wife noticed that i'm coughing a whole lot less after i switched to vaping at around the 3 week mark.

Sister-in-law that watches the kiddos had laryngitis like symptoms last week, now 1 kiddo and I myself have the same symptoms. I'm going with pkg on this one. Methinks it's a mild rhino- or pneumo- virus thats making the rounds and then hitting some harder than others if they have low immune thresholds.
try clearing your throat when your voice refuses to work (worked for me as I was bringing up alot of tar)
thanks for the responses, I can tell you it's not a virus etc. It's definitely from vaping, tried getting rid of the PG and the pain from the sore throat went away but my voice is still hoarse. I'll give it another week and then make a decision, but I can't go around without a voice for much longer. I switched to Ecopure liquid 100% VG. I'm constantly drinking water, I think my throat is just getting dried out from vaping, I also wonder if there are going to be any long term effects from this.
I've been using 100% USP Glycerin in DIY'ing for a while now, and find since switching that if I talk before the exhale it distorts my voice until I exhale completely where it will return to normal. Found it very strange (and the wife likes to laugh at me so....), but sure beat the harshness I found with PG juices.
I can't stress the importance of drinking plenty of water for anyone who vapes. It can be surprising how dehydrated one can become without ever realizing it.
I learned a valuable lesson the hard way. I will NOT let that happen again.

I know if "I" drink any more water/juices on top of being a chronic gum chewer I'm gonna sprout gills, lol !
I did a lot of research awhile back on this. I found this link interesting

I am having the same problem more of the sore throat than voice. I drink water before after and during vaping. I am going to switch to vg as well to see if it helps. I have been vaping for 4 months problem with sore throat for about a month. I use 50%/50% on an ego. The sore throat seems to get better the less I vape and worse the more I vape.
I'm having the same problem with losing my voice and constantly having to clear my throat, and I drink TONS of water. I don't have a sore throat, just hoarseness. It's driving me crazy! Has anyone had any luck switching from PG to VG, etc?
I have switched to another vendor still using 50/50 and my throat is is feeling better. I am thinking I was sensitive to the flavors in the vape I was using all day for like 3 months. I don't want to name the vendor but what I am using now is from vaperite house extracted tobacco no flavor or additives. If my sour throat comes back Ill update.
