As RipCigs said try higher VG. I think we (Americans) are so hung up on allergies....PG, gluten, liberals etc. I think PG just drys me out way more than VG and yes I dealt with dry, sore throat for a year before moving to max VG. Easy to try.....

i agree but i also noticed when i got the kanger k-box and the kanger subtanks that the air flow change also helped being able to control heat and airflow is important pg may be an issue i moved to 30 pg 70 vg and it helped
also the lower the nick will help some throat hit is less with lower nick
recomend if using a large tank like a sub tank to half the nic you use more vape = more nick to asorb you dont need to poison your self more than nessarry LOL
also a Note; vaping seems to dry the throat a bit so remember to sip on some fluid like water if vaping heavily

Poison? With nicotine levels in these liquids?
Please read up on nicotine before saying things like that. Thanks.

I had sore throat issues in the beginning, trying to discover what works, what doesn't. Noticed high pg 80%, caused sore throat. Reduced to 50%, no more sore throat.
@RipCigs
mabey i was not clear. mabey you chose to be an .... i dont know. what i do know is volume. and any one who starts out using like an evod at 24mg of nic should not step up to a sub tank and vape at 24 mg. they should cut back on the nic percentage 50% i did and i was fine with the level being a 3 pack a day smoker.
also what is nic any way. i believe chemically it is pestacide that equals poison no matter how you cut it or how much it is.
tell you what check your self and ill check my self and have a nice day !

Play nice people, nicotine is a very dangerous poison and that comment was followed by a "lol". Ben, please dont take offense though, we do get touchy when words are used that dont need to be. As was explained to me when I got huffy after a member's rebuke, any anit-vape lib can do a google search on the words vape and poyson and your post will be at the top. You just might get famous! For the unwanted reasons though

This is very true, very good tip, noticed I constantly sip on water, while vaping.
You really don't have to buy anything - maybe other than some different juices with higher VG levels and lower nicotine levels. There are a few things that I've noticed mentioned in this thread:
Sore throat, caughing, scratchy throat. As others have mentioned this can be any number of things:
- to warm or to much vapor
- to much PG content
- to much Nicotine content
- the flavor being used
I started on 70/30 (PG/VG) and found that not only my throat but my nose/nasal passages were 'itchy'. I lowered how much vapor I was inhaling while waiting for some 'test juices' I ordered to arrive. Then with the same nicotine level I tried (without flavors) 100% PG, 70/30, 50/50, 30/70 and 100% VG. For me the 'throat hit' on the PG AND the nicotine was to much for my throat to take. However I was able to enjoy 30/70 and 100% VG without nasal or throat problems.
Yes, it sounds like a lot of effort and experimentation to find what works for you however I feel it was worth it for me.
Aspire Nautilus Flooding/spitting/exc.
I have a 1/2 dozen or more of these tanks and they can be difficult to learn how to use. The vapor production (or not!) depend on 4 things:
- how hard your draw on the drip tip is
- the airflow setting on the tank
- how thick/thin the juice is and how well it is wicking
- the voltage/power level your running your stick/mod at
If your drawing to hard you can ether adjust your airflow up or down to get more air or to restrict your draw. Personally I just leave my Nautilus tanks on the largest air hole (which still seems like not large enough) and slow my draw down.
Thicker/high VG juice won't wick as well as 50/50 or 70/30 (PG/VG) juice in a Nautilus. While I've been running a few tanks with 100% VG this past week I'm limited to 8-10W of power. Any higher I run the risk of burning the cotton on my coils (throw-a-way now). Higher VG will give you more vapor than higher PG. I've ran 70/30 and 50/50% upto 12-15W without issue (on 1.8ohm coils and depending on flavor).

All You Need To Know About Nicotine
I get touchy about people using words like poison. The number of times i had endless discussions with smokers and non smokers about "nicotine killing people" left me annoyed by this.
I also might have misunderstood what you wanted to say since you didn't use any punctuation.
I don't see how i chose to be an "..." as i used the words please and thanks, but let's not steal the op's topic.
Apologies if i sounded aggressive or something.

No worries like a bit of passion, unfortunately had to go home from work today as my glands swelled up bad can't swallow and feel terrible, got a doctors appointment tomorrow see what he says, going to stop vaping for few days then move onto higher VG and lower nic, Thanks again for everyone's input, happy vaping
All the best Adam and hope it all works out (sure it will).
Let us know how the Appt. turns out as well as changing up the Mix & Nic.

It is also know that cigs have a chemical that will numb the back of your throat to soften the inhale. With ejuice, none of that crap is in there, so there will be a level of irritation that will happen. As for a higher VG level, I agree. I can't vape juice with a VG level of any lower than 60% or its too rough on my throat. My sweet spot is 70% tho
Keep us posted! My thoughts are either it's some sort of a cold/throat infection or you are not tolerant to PG. I think nic would leave your throat sore if it's too high but doubt your glands would swell, especially that much.
Hope you get well soon and find the issue
One thing that I noticed when I started vaping is that my throat would dry out. PG is hygroscopic which means it absorbs and holds water molecules. I would tend to chain vape before I went to bed and it really dried me out. When I woke up I would have a dry and irritated throat. I started making sure I was well hydrated after that and I also reduced my PG level. I still get a little irritation if I forget to keep up my water intake but other than that I have been fine.
Seriously for me I vaped maybe 8ml a day at 50%pg and my throat was raw! Now in subohm bliss I vape 15-18ml a day at 80%+ lets say VG and almost zero throat pain. Worked for me in spaids.
