It would be helpful for those reporting issues to include a few more details regarding their e-juice...

What brand? What flavors?

I think it's important to note that flavorings are NOT inert... depending on the brand, the flavorings could make up 5-40% of a bottle of juice. Flavoring bases can contain PG, VG, alcohol... artificial meaning chemicals and natural flavorings which may have been extracted using chemicals. Many vendors include other additives like chemical sweeteners and other chemicals that add body or smooth harshness...

Then there's food coloring... more chemicals. Most DIY flavorings are clear. VG, PG are clear, and Nicotine almost clear.

If you are vaping something that is colored... then you are vaping more added chemicals... hopefully food grade coloring. If it's bright red, blue or glow in the dark florescent green... It can't be "healthy" to be inhaling those chemicals.

The point of all this is if you are having negative reactions... ask your juice vendor what percentage their flavorings are. What other additives may be included. Something to consider may be going DIY so you can know what's going into the juice and alter ratios to find something that works... it's not that difficult and if it keeps you off cigarettes... all the better.
