PG and throat hurt/sore

[Drael]

Just a quick one. Ive been using either 100% pg, or 70/30. Seems like its a little too much "throat hit". Not sure id want to go 100% vg either, but to what degree can more vg, less pg soothe the throat hit?

I dont mind a little "thoat hit", but dont really want it to be as much. (ATM im just using 18 mg nic. Which with some mixes doesnt seem to irritate, but with 100% pg it seems to. I am sure the nic contributes, but I am curious to what degree the pg does also)

Cheers!

Mmmm I do like the feel of pg but if I do it too often my throat gets really sore. Kept thinking I was getting sick. So I went 100% VG and no more issues. Still do pg a couple times a month. Just not that often.

If you drink a lot of fluids (especially milk) I found it "coats" your throat preventing the drying effect that seems to lead to throat soreness. I've found my liquid intake has increased at least 10 fold since I started vaping to avoid sore throats, but after doing that regardless of the mix (from 100%PG to VG) I haven't gotten another sore throat.

That said I found approximately a 30%vg mix smooths out the vape a lot without losing too much hit. Might try getting a bottle of vg from walmart and try slowly modifying your juices till you find a sweet spot.

What level of nicotine are you using? It contributes to TH as well.

I honestly had no intention of stepping down from 24mg for a long time, but I'm getting more than enough TH on my current setups to warrant dropping it down some on my next order.

Some juices tend to have an exceptionally higher TH with their increase in nic from what I've noticed.

If you increase your VG it will mute the throat hit, so just up your VG if you feel you are getting maybe too much throat hit. I have heard people say the sore throat goes away even with 50/50 juice.

I get the sore throat sometimes as well, it seems like more from certain flavors even then others. Thinking of dropping to a 50/50 at 24mg myself, from 80/20 18mg (where sometimes i feel like i am not getting the TH i want)

Yeahi have 2 that are ridiculous, Atomic Fireball, and Pristine Pear from WordupEcig hit like a truck at 18mg, i could do both of those 50/50 and not even bother moving up to 24mg

I've found this too. I started only using 50% each or 70%VG 30%DW. I still have 12 and 6mg juices that are 33%VG and get a sore throat vaping a full carto so I've added the 70vg/30dw to them to "cut" the PG down. That sacrifices a little flavor but I don't have to throw the juice away.
