Inhaling through the nose makes me sneeze. All I have is predominately PG juices. Am I allergic to PG?

I didn't have this issue with the kanger 808 I was using previously, but by new echo has mega amplified the flavor and TH of the same juices. And I never had this problem with analogues from light cigs to dark cigars. Any thoughts?

you might be having a reaction to it, but probably not allergic if you are just sneezing, imo. I bet it goes away after a day of using it. Or it could be the amount of it you are getting now + through the nose could be causing the irritation to make you sneeze.

I doubt you are allergic to PG. Hospitals use PG vapor to delivery inhaled medications.

However nicotine is a skin irritant. PG lets trough the most flavor, most nicotine hit, most nicotine irritation. I recommend juices with some VG in them. I use high PG (thin) juices in cartomizers, like 80PG/20VG. VG is thick, dulls everything PG lets through, adds some nicer vapor.

Also vaping is drying. You need to drinking fluids and stay hydrated.

And some flavors are irritating, especially cinnamon, other spices and even menthol can be irritating.

Also - if you are constantly inhaling ir exhaling vapor through your nose to get the aroma, try to cut back and no do it every drag.

And just in general - vapor feels foreign/weird to your throat and nose at first.

Yeah I'd have to agree with the first reply as more likely. You are probably getting more vapor and hence irritating the nasal passages and tickling the hairs which serve the purpose of trapping dust, aerosolized particles, etc and triggering a sneezing fit.

It's certainly possible that you are sensitive or allergic to PG, and I am wondering the same thing myself. I don't inhale through the nose, but since I started vaping (predominately 50-50 or 80-20 PG/VG mixes) I have a very annoying and quite productive (phlegmy) cough. I also have a runny nose, so am also thinking I could have just developed a chest and head cold or even bronchitis. Certainly would like to hear from some that have confirmed PG allergy as to what their symptoms are!

I sneeze also, sometimes, right after taking a hit, but the thing I notice most, after about a month of vaping, is I'm constantly clearing my throat! I read that it could be caused from using PG juice, but that's all I've used so far, so I'm going to order some VG juice from Virgin Vapor, when I have some extra money. The throat clearing drives me nuts, lol .. BUT it's not as bad as all the wheezing I was doing at bed time, with analogs. I was told to start drinking a lot more water, which I've been doing. I guess it's helping a bit ..
