Newbie here, trying to sort out source of allergy

[pigmoose]

I've smoked a Blu and an Apollo e-cig with no ill effects, I think. But then I purchased a ego-c and kanger t2 clearos and loaded it up with samples from IndigoVapor and I've gotten nothing but negative effects.

After only a few hits I'll get flushing in the face which lasts an hour, I'll feel hot in the upper half of my body, and sometimes my throat will get sore and feel burny.

Bad reaction to this specific brand? I'm gonna order some VG juice and see if it's PG. Might be the flavorants too, right?

Too much PG? It could be the PG, VG or flavoring/additives. Definitely try something else until you find what works for you.

Good luck and let us know how it went!

ya, definitely try an all 100% vg juice, and a 100% pg juice and see. and as MrKV says, it could be flavorings too. good luck

I will do just that. I really want to get into vaping so I hope it's PG sensitivity. Otherwise my order will be a bust as well

I'll report back.

I am almost positive that Blu is 100% VG. So, that leaves PG and flavorings. I would do what you are doing, go back to VG.

Sometimes you don't need straight VG and can take a smaller amount of PG. I can handle 30/70 fine, and 50/50 most of the time but any higher and I am uncomfortable.

Good luck!

I'm also jumping straight into DIY so I guess I can control flavorings too. Maybe start with vaping 100% PG, 100% VG (little dilution too), and then add nicotine, then add flavorings. I might be able to figure out the specific allergy if I proceed like that.

Forgot to mention, I think I'm getting mouth ulcers too, and they're definitely inflamed by the vapor.

So annoying to not be able to touch this juice sitting right in front of me!
