I've heard of PG allergies or sensitivities, but is is possible to have VG sensitivities? I ask this because I've had a few liquids that I've had to switch from a 70pg/30vg to 50/50. Since the switch I've had trouble taking normal full inhales when I vape, and have coughing fits. When I first started vaping, I used 50/50 blend without issue. Is there an adjustment period for this kind of thing that I'm just not aware of?
PG/VG sensitivities?

When I went from high vg (80%) back to 20% vg, it took a couple of weeks to get back to normal. Your situation seems exactly opposite, but the same idea might apply.
Of course, 'might' means exactly the same as 'might not'.

Yeah, one could have issues with VG, I do. Can't handle vaping 100% VG for more than a day or so, after that I start getting shortness of breathe.
The first day I tried Bobas Bounty I coughed so much I was a little worried. A couple of weeks later I'm vaping it with no issues. I also thought maybe I had a sensitivity to VG,but I'm assuming it was my ex-smoker's lungs recovering - or something!
We haven't answered that question, Sally. If it's really that bad, you need to change off to a different flavor or base mixture.
As you smoke less and less, the bronchial tubes begin shrinking back to their normal size. The build up of tars stretched them. Depending on how long they've been enlarged, going back to closer to normal size can make them feel sensitive until you're gotten used to the new feeling. VG vapor is heavier than PG... bigger molecules... and is why its the ingredient that produces the thickest vapor. So while it was okay when the tubes were coated with tar and stretched, now they feel that VG volume more. Hope that explains.
I have found that if I use a juice that has higher then 30% VG it taste like I am eating greasy cold french fries no matter what the flavor is.
