Hi :blush:
I began vaping a week ago, and developed a really itchy rash on my back and neck which spread rapidly to my chest and arms also. I changed washing powder, cut out foods etc etc., but it was still there. So today it hit me that it could be something in the e-cig (I'm using intellicig with "rich" flavour refills). I googled it, and apparently this is not a very uncommon side effect which is caused by propylene glycol (PG). This broke my heart, because I haven't had a cigarette in a week and feel I'm doing really well off them and enjoying the e-cig.

Now, my dilemma is, where can I buy refills with just this VG stuff in them (because apparently most have both VG and PG)? Are they as effective/nice as these PG ones I've been using? And have any of you ever come across this problem?

Any help would be great. Thanks a million :vapor:

Sorry to hear about your difficulty, and welcome to ECF. Here are 2 vendors that I know of who sell 100%vg juices, I'm sure there are others out there as well, for some reason the Gourmet Vapor link will not work...:blink:

Alien Visions E-Juice

Edit for broken link.

I have friend who is highly allergic to PG as well. His fave is ecigsupply.com's Vaper's Choice. I've made many orders for him and this is the only one we've found that didn't cause him any problems. VirginVapor.com also has a few that he particularly enjoys without a problem. Last time we ordered with the ECOpure option, and it's incredibly thin so no clogging and has great throat hit for PG-free. I just noticed that your post says you've been using Intellicig Rich, correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that ECOpure, which is PG-free? If that's the case, PG is not the problem....

I had horrible back pain, dark almost black pee and a trip to the ER. Scared me off of vaping for several months I got the curage to try again, but this time I switched to 100% VG from good prophets and mixed my own flavors. Check them out, you might find yourself right at home as I did. shop.goodprophets.com On top of that, Rob was good to me when I had a faulty part, he even included the return shipping package with postage.
