Nasal drip, vaping caused?

[otrpu]

Been at it more than a year and a half. When I'm able to vape I pretty much vape continuously. On my weekends I'll fill a 5mL tank a couple times and pretty much vape it all. Early on, I thought it was the Cinnamon causing me my nasal drip issues. So, I cut out the Cinnamon. Then, the blend was Nic, VG, and PGA. Accidentally left the Nicotine out of my DIY batch 3 months ago. . .since then. . .0Nic0FA, Zero Nicotine Zero Flavor Added. Decided to drop the PGA and blend PG w/VG. That's it. That's all that's in my DIY eLiquid for the past couple months. Started adding 10%PG to my VG, then 50/50%. Now, 75%PG/25%VG. My Nasal Drip was greatest when using higher ratio VG. My concerns now: I'm still accumulating a phlegm that I cough up daily. I still have a cough. And, I still have a Nasal Drip. Over the past year and a half I'm certain my lung function has improved. My breathing is much better. So, I'm convinced vaping has been better for me than smoking tobacco. I've never heard of anybody dying from nasal drip. Wish somebody would do unbiased studies, I don't wanna be the Lab Rat. I smoked tobacco cigs, neigh onto 3 packs a day, for more than 52 years. But, haven't had a tobacco cigarette for more than 10 months. JMHO

Have you tried an OTC allergy med just to see if it helps? It could very well be coincidence and you may have begun to develop nasal allergies that have nothing to do with vaping?
I've been confirmed to be allergic to planet Earth . . . And vaping hasn't affected my allergy cough (different than smoker's cough) nor my nasal congestion and runny eyes. If a dose of children's Benedryl gives any relief, then that's pointing to standard nasal allergies.
Best wishes . . . and I guess . . . keep on blowing!

No I haven't. I know it is directly involved with my vaping. As soon as I stop vaping. . .the nasal drip goes away. The second I start vaping, the nasal drip starts up.

I had a nasal drip before vaping, and after 10 months vaping I still have a nasal drip. I don't have the sinus congestion or a burning chest or a smoker's cough anymore, so I'll take the nasal drip and be happy. Just throat clearing/light cough versus a burning, hacking, disgusting-weird-stuff-coughed-up cough. It makes sense that vaping would cause irritation of some sort, but I'm convinced it's harmless.
