It seems to vary from person to person, but may include sore throat, mouth, or lungs. Rashes on various areas of your skin (including scalp) and if you get enough in your eyes it can cause irritation. I may be wrong, but that's what I've heard.
Day before yesterday (my 1st day), I started out on 100% PG, and it was really hard on the back of my throat... coughing spasms, etc.
So, yesterday, I did a 50/50 mix all day long, and it seemed better, but I'm still occasionally getting times when that bad harshness rolls back in for a while.
I guess I'm trying to figure out if I have an intolerance for PG.
Also, if I end up having to go with 100% VG, isn't that supposed to be really bad for the heating element?

If you're brand new, expect some oddities. Long, slow, drags, vs. sharper puffs. Drink lots of water (more than you might think necessary).
I don't remember the last time I vaped 100% PG, not due to any problems with it but because I like the feel/vapor with VG.

Sounds like typical getting used to vaping stuff. Drinking water helps...lots of water.
It took your throat some time to adjust to tobacco smoke, so I wouldn't think it can adjust to something new immediately
Unless you have itching/burning, adjust your vaping technique and let the body adjust.

Yeah, water always helps. You will get used to it soon. 100% PG can be the issue or it can also happen when your body trying to get adjusted with the new habit.
Usually sore mouth, throat, lungs is just the nicotine though. Nicotine is a pretty bad skin irritant. PG hardly buffers that at all. Having some VG in the juice (for example 70pg/30vg or 50/50) can help smooth it out enough to eliminate the irritation.
Some people break out in hives - that would be more likely an allergic reaction, to either the PG or to a flavoring in the juice.
PG is used in inhalation therapies in hospitals.

definitely try playing around with how you inhale. Slowly into mouth, then inhale. More like soda through a straw, not like a milkshake. Don't always assume it is a PG allergy. It seems like there are only a small percentage of us bubble peoples
Water.....Water.....Water keep your throat hydrated. I think that if you were allergic to PG you would be allergic to other Products that contain PG in it and there are like 100+ edable things that would already cause you to know if you are allergic or not.
