New Juice Making Me Wheezy

[RandomHero]

So I'm not new to vaping by any means, but I'm just starting to explore a bit. I've pretty much stuck with V4L since I started and just used the pen shaped battery's and cartomizers. I've recently got a ego 510 battery with a "smartomizer" from Vapor King. I also bought a bottle of "Uncle Jacks" Honey Doo 18mg from Vapor King. So when It arrived today I started vaping it, and right away it was extremely rough on my throat, make me cough, and then make me extremely wheezy. I haven't vaped it in around a half hour and I'm still really wheezy. Which I'm not really understanding, because I've always vaped 18mg with no issues what so ever. But I did just read online that Uncle Junks juice is 70%VG 30%PG. I've never really paid attention to VG and PG because I've never had this issue with any juice before, but I'm not even sure that is the reason. Any input here would be appreciated.

did you wash out the new smartomizer?

I had a problem with 1 juice from my favorite vendor...loved the taste but everytime I vaped it I sneezed and sneezed my head off....I can to the conclusion that I must have had a sensitivity to the flavoring used .....I have also found that personally I can not vape high VG juices....they make my chest heavy and sore....so 50/50 is ok...but 70/30 or 80/20 in better

Could be PG related or the nic level may be higher than it's suppose to be or it may not have steeped long enough. I had that happen with some DIY juice I made. Couldn't wait. Got a hot shot of nicotine. You may also be allergic to some component in it. Other possibility is there may be something in it for TH Throat hit.

I'm another who don't vape high% VG due to similar issues. It's not rough on my throat, but it will cause weasing and shortness of breathe if i vape it for too long.

My experience... not necessarily the "flavor" itself but the type of flavorings used in the recipe can cause irritation.

I also cannot do high vg. I use 70/30 pg/vg. Gives me a heavy feeling in my lungs and just a greasy feeling in my mouth.

I started on a KGO with the standard stardust and vivi's. I noticed that the 50/50 juice and higher nic% made me wheeze. I don't get it as much when I use higher VG ratios. I do chain vape but the tightness in the lungs and if any wheezing usually subsides in a few minutes.

I hardly notice it now. It's probably just a reaction to PG. Although, I have used some gourmet 70PG juices and didn't really have much of a problem. Could also be flavorings as well.

did you wash out the new smartomizer?

I did not. Should I be washing them all before I use them? I haven't ever done it.

Thanks for all the responses everyone! Can anyone recommend me to a high quality brand of juices? The more opinions the better. I've only dealt with V4L and Vapor King juices. I imagine there's a lot better options out there.

what kind of flavors do you like? tobaccos, fruits, bakery, candies, coffees, teas....If we have an idea it is easier to make suggestions

I like Alice in Vapeland for bakery and teas (on the mild side but complex)
Nicoticket for custards and mixed fruits
Nude Nicotine for coffees
and Halo for choclates

What is the VG/PG ratio of the juice you were using from Vapor4Life?

If you might be dealing with allergies, you might want to pick up small bottles of VG and PG to try unflavored.
