Ask a doctor. But I used an over 50% VG eliquid in my ego-C's for a while, and it didn't work at all, it would just clog up. Tasted horrible, but I didn't know, and I thought maybe I just had to get used to it. Bad idea. I also wasn't priming my little coils by sucking in and out on them until they gurgled a little BEFORE firing. I might have gone through 10 coils before I figured that out. Burnt taste constantly. I'm kind of slow, but it's ok i learned eventually.
I ended up using 100% PG and priming my coils, and it was all good, I liked the throat hit of the PG and didn't care about large clouds. I am NOT an expert, this is just my experience. Good luck.

Burning VG releases Acrolein which is not good. ego I would presume is the worst thing for use with 100% vg.
@jonathan0444 - When you say you're using an eGo-T vape pen set-up...which type are you using? Are you using the true eGo-T that uses an eGo-T battery with a tube or cone shaped atomizer on top of it...with either a foam-filled cartridge or small plastic tank that you refill with eliquid and put on top of the atomizer cylinder? (That type has no coil that you replace in it.) Or, are you maybe using just an eGo-T battery, but with a tank that you refill and does have coils you can replace when needed?
Reason I ask is, the original true eGo-T kit won't work properly with 100% VG eliquid! It's so thick that it doesn't feed/drip down fast enough to the little atomizer burner. You'll get dry, burnt-tasting, harsh hits from it. I wouldn't doubt at all that if that's what you're using, it's no wonder you're getting headaches and soreness in your lungs.
If it's just an eGo-T battery, with a separate tank that has a replaceable coil in it, then I'd try adding the distilled water % recommended to it, or go with a blend of PG/VG.
No matter which it is though, I'm with others, too, who wonder why you're vaping at all if it's not to quit smoking. If nothing but air has been going into your lungs, I wouldn't start vaping now.
