Wondering if I may be allergic, which would suck because I have cut down to 3 regular smokes a day or less since starting a little over a week ago. I am starting to prefer the e-cig. However I noticed the last 4 days or so that my eyelids, behind my ears, fingers, and other "sensitive" areas have begun to be very itchy, its really quite unpleasant. My GF suggested I may be allergic. Has anyone else experienced this? I would hate to have to go back to regular smokes. I also dont want to have to order things, These being easy to access at 7-11 is the reason I finally gave it a try. Will it just go away after a while?

It is possible you may be getting some skin irritation from one of the components of the juice. PG, VG, or the flavoring. PG seems to be more of a problem for people. You could see if a 100% VG liquid helps, or 100% PG. If you tried another flavor as well might help. The chemicals in flavorings could be the problem. Ordering from the internet is the way to go anyway. You will pay much more getting supplies from 711. Takes 3 days to ship... Just make a buy once a month and you will be good. $15 for a months supply of juice is a no brainer. There is also the possibility that you will just adjust to it, or that it isn't the culprit. Good luck. 711 isn't a long term solution if you plan to vape.

I switched over less than two weeks ago. I as well had the "itchies" a few days in (Though not as widespread as you describe). Juice I got was 100% PG to start. I got 80%/20% PG/VG blend afterwards and it has not bothered me since. Still taste from the 100% juice I have left here and there. So for me it was either backing off a bit from 100% PG, or body just needed a few days to adjust to the new nic delivery method.
