so still relatively new to vaping and well

I started getting a rash on my chest...
I know right horrible place for a woman to get a rash

I didn't have ay problems with vaping the first week and a half to 2 weeks and i vaped a lot

do PG allergies take that long to show up or would it more likely be a flavoring allergy you think

i'm not allergic to anything else with pg in it... which to me is odd

I had an itchy rash on my chest and upper back during my first weeks of vaping (back then, about 2 years ago). I first used a PG/VG juice and as soon as I changed it to full PG, the rash disappeared. Perhaps it was pure coincidence but I've never experienced it again and I'm happy I haven't quit vaping because of that :) Now I use a greater amount of VG in my e-liquid without any problem.
The PG is known to make some sort of allergies though. But it might be a transition period so you might want to try other types of e-juice. Just an idea ;)

It could be- as I understand it, people can become allergic to a substance after exposure. E.g., your first bee sting may not hurt you at all, but the second might put you in anaphylactic shock.

Could also be a reaction to a flavoring additive, perhaps?

Best place to pose this question would be at your doctor's office ;)
