Mucus

[Taaa]

I have never smoked a cigarette in my life, and I started vaping almost a year ago. I'm noticing mucus in my throat, and my nostrils are getting oily. Is that because of the vg/pg ratio, or something else? My juice is 80/20 and 65/35.

I don't use high% VG liquids for other reasons, but when I did, I would get a mucous build up also. I don't get that nearly as much with PG dominate juices.

HIgh VG does that for me too. My throat is much happier with 50/50.

Oily? seems really odd since both PG and VG are water based... do you eat alot of fried foods?

I get it too. It's the VG.

Well vg is thick and sugary, thicker than water so it leaves residue.

Thats the VG. The tradeoff is that PG is harsher and can give you sore throat. You should try different rations, m aybe even 50/50, 70 pg/30vg, etc. see what works for you.

I have similar issues with the higher VG eliquids Taaa. I find 50vg/50pg or 60vg/40pg work best for me
