New guy with e juice questions

[gryd]

Hi Folks,
After vaping with disposables for about a month I purchased a Volt with extra cartomizers and some ejuice from Smokeless Image. All was going well and I had reduced the number of analogs I smoked in half. Unfortunately I began feeling very short of breath a few days ago and after a Google search I discovered I was not the only person who experienced this. Many people said it happened with VG juices so I've been exclusively using Dekang 100% PG juice for the past couple days without any problems. I don't mind the pure PG products but I was wondering if anyone here had any advice for me regarding the shortness of breath issue. I also would like some recommendations of companies that sell pure PG juices. Thanks!
Greg

Does anyone have any advice for me?

from what i understand most usually when someone has a reaction to e-juice it is caused from either pg or to high of a nicotine vg is natural pg isnt, but there re actually very few people allergic to pg, i would try reducing the amount of nicotine in your juice

Many vendors that custom mix their juices to your order can do so with 100% pg. Below are a couple of vendors that I've used that do so:

Vaperite: Vaperite E-Juices

My Freedom Smokes: Premium Custom E-Liquid for Electronic Cigarettes | E-Cigs | Smoke Juice

Thanks! I tried some VG/PG blend last night again and I got that heavy feeling in my chest that I don't get with pure PG. It may not be natural but the vapor seems lighter. I maybe imagining things or does VG produce a heavier vapor?

Yes, vg produces more vapor, while pg can give more throat hit and flavor.

Yes, VG does produce more vapor and if you feel better smoking pure PG, stay with it, it could also be just that you are cutting back on smoking too, sort of a backlash type of thing, but stick with what makes you feel good for now and when you have weaned of the cigarettes you can revisit VG juices and see if you are still sensitive.

I would also check, as Zidane721 suggests and make sure the two juices have the same nicotine level, my husband does 24mg and I do 18mg, his juice leaves me breathless!

And as others have suggested, people are usually sensitive to PG, not VG and it is pretty rare to be VG sensitive, but you might be the one! Tread carefully, do what you have to do to get off the cigarettes and Good Luck to You!

You will find that your breething will get better with time. I think an 80pg/20vg blend is perfect. I have heard of people being alergic to vg. It is uncomon but does happen.
