Possible allergy?

Hi all
I've been vaping a 70%PG / 30%VG "high" Nicotine juice for a couple of days now after going 2 weeks on 0 Nic juice. I'd been wearing a patch and vaping 0 but I took the patch off and tried Nicotine juice to see how I went.
So I don't know if it's just because I've started the nicotine juice or what, but I'm finding I'm coughing alot and finding I'm not enjoying the throat hit or the feeling in the chest....I've diluted my juice....I have a 1.6ml tank and I'm putting 0.2ml of Nicotine juice and 1.4ml of zero Nic juice in and still finding I'm coughing and feeling "irritated" in the throat & chest....nothing major, but it's effecting my enjoyment of vaping....anyone else had this issue? I'm wondering if it could be the PG?

Noticing an increase of phlem as well and needing to clear my throat more than usual too...

what is the vg/pg on 0 nic juice?, as for throat hit whats you setup?

It does sound like your PG is too high, I had a similar experience - hacking cough, too harsh a TH and a heavy feeling in the bronchial area and the chest. Buy some glycerin from Walmart (VG) and add some nic to that. See how you get on with it. Let us know!

Phlem is usually too much VG but your percent of that is pretty low.

It's 50/50 on the zero Nic. I'm Vaping a standard 501 (I think) set up

MHO is maybe the ratio , as for coughing might be analogs.(aka throat trying to heal and lung trying to get gunk out) I find clearomizers have a far less throat hit. not an expert in anyway shape or form just a thought.

Hi Matt. There's a great writeup of symptoms associated with quitting smoking and starting to vape in a post here on ECF. There's a lot there, but you can just skim through to the parts that interest you. Best of luck with it!
