How does one know if they are sensitive to PG? I hear so many people saying they have to go to a higher VG content (some even say 100% VG) because they have an allergy to PG .... exactly what does it feel like?

Reason I ask is that lately every once in a while after a vape it feels like my lips/tongue/mouth is full of a peppery numbing "something". I first thought it was too high nic content .... so I've stepped it down to 12mg ... then I thought it may be I was getting juice into my mouth ... but I don't really inhale that deep (and there is no "gurgling") and no evidence if juice in the mouthpiece ... then I thought it may be voltage/wattage settings .... so I adjusted down until there was no taste, and up until I was afraid I'd cause a power failure on the eastern seaboard ... but nothing helps.

I'll be happily vaping thinking ummmmmmmm butter scotch then all of a sudden phew phew phew pepper taste/numb mouth .... switch tanks, and phew phew phew pepper/numb mouth for a few vapes then Mmmmmmmmm graham cracker and all of a sudden the cycle repeats until it gets to the point that I can't taste anything no matter what tank with what juice I have .... just the pepper/numb mouth.

I don't know either, but maybe give these a look:

It's broken. Something went snap and now it just spins and spins.
Sob.

Most likely, the white inner sleeve broke loose from the outer (blue) part of the cap - take a look at the cap of one of your other bottles to see what I mean. What you need to be able to do to get it off is get some traction on the white part (which is what has the threading) in order to loosen it. Try pinching the cap tightly between your knuckle and your thumb as you turn it.

Pepper is usually associated with the nicotine. PG can cause skin irritation, and a bunch of other things, for me it causes throat irritation at 80% PG, this goes away at 65% but I am dropping to 50/50 and will probably stay there. I still have a bunch of 65/35 to go through (and I will) but I think I like 50/50 better.

Propylene glycol - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Nicotine was my first guess ..... that's why I've gone from 24 initially to 18, and I'm now down to 12mg. I was a 1.5 - 2 pack of Marlboro red smoker for many MANY years is why I thought I "needed" 24mg ...... maybe I'm "hitting" my vaporizer too often getting a nic overdose.

Can you pry it off with something? And then transfer to a different bottle?
Or saw the neck off!!!!!!!
Road trip! Molly needs my help!!!!!!

Or maybe add pliers to the equation...

Yup, those'd probably work. Or vice grips. Vice grips fix everything vape related for me.

Yeah had to use pliars and yes the white sleeve broke loose and then the drip tip was screwed up and
couldn't get it back on and ......... well gonna transfer it to another bottle. Never had this happen before.

Glad you got it open, anyway. Sorry about the bottle casualty!

Now I've got a bottle of hazelnut with just a splash of sticky bun mixed in. Yum yum.

Do you find that different nicotine, pg, and vg bases offer better or worse experiences?

I have really only used 3 vendors for Nic, PG and VG....

Wizard Labs, MyFreedomSmokes and RTS Vapes

Of the 3 Wizard Labs is pharmaceutical grade and my preferred choice, however I personally can't tell the difference between them...

Miss Kelli???

 

[Amiaji]

I got a 1 liter bottle of nic from Heartland vapes. I haven't done anything more than play around with it though so I don't know if it is good nic or not.

 

[Khala]

umm, i have 7 of those...no one told me they were big girl batteries...

That's because they aren't big girl batteries when *you* use them.

I'm sure you are right, but it's my first step up from eGo's so.....I feel like it's a big girl battery.
Sorry, I hate it when I miss the quote button - makes me sound like an idiot.

What can I say - I consider any battery I use to qualify as an adult female battery...

Of course, then I start considering connector types, and my brain starts to go to mush...

They are a hassle. So much easier to grab a USB cord and plug the MVP 2 in, anywhere. In order to keep the round batteries charged on the go, ya gotta bring the charger, the batteries, have an A/C outlet to plug into, worry about batteries shorting if they aren't protected while being carried, ugh. Worst part is there is no REASON for it. Even tube mods with replaceable batteries CAN be charged via a USB cable, but no one wants to do one.

Ooohhh... You just added something to my "think about" list. My eroll charges on the same charger as my phone. Which, for travel, is awesome. I just assumed that bigger batteries hooked up straight to a mini-USB connector. *dives back into research*

You got it fixed before I got to make any smart alec comments about pliers and a box cutter. Rats.


VG (USP grade) acquired. Why Walmart had it, when several other stores didn't, is beyond me. But shifting my pg/vg ratio to compensate for the weather is now possible. Thanks for the hint, whoever told me to try there! (I think it was Sam, but I'm too tired to remember much right now.)

I see Miss Kelli is taking care of business elsewhere & appears to be ok... the other guy might not be though. As long as she's ok, I'm good... and thinking about her wearing some sexy glasses.

Try increasing your fluid intake. You may not be getting enough fluids. A lack of fluids does weird things for my taste buds, and it also tends to start drying out my skin and leaves me more vulnerable to losing the flavors all together.

 

[Criticalmass]

I really like VaporShots for my nic.

Flavor wise or price?
