So, every morning I have a really sensitive throat. In general I smoke .6% nic levels at 50/50 pg/vg. I use clearomizers 90% of the time. I have a couple cartomizers that I use from time to time and recently starting using the LR510 atomizer (although not in the morning yet).

The best way I can describe how my throat feels is to compare it how I would feel after a night of drinking where I ended up smoking a pack of marlboro lights in about 4 or 5 hours (I usually only smoked a pack a day). My throat, the following morning, would be so sensitive that I would be careful not to take in to sharp a breath in fear of going into a huge hacking fit. I wouldn't dare try to smoke first thing when I woke up (although under normal circumstances I would smoke one or two first thing) even though I was nicfitting really bad. After a couple hours I would be ok to smoke but I would have to be careful.

The feeling I have now is similar. Almost every flavor I get the same result. This doesn't vary from heavy vaping nights to VERY light vaping nights. In the morning, I have tried Boba's bounty in the last couple days cause I understand it's 100 vg, which I am given to understand can be a good litmus test to see if you are pg sensitive. I haven't noticed a difference. That's not imperical, of course, as the rest of my juices are 50/50 and they may be the cause.

The only juice that I can count on to not cause a problem is, at least on a regular morning basis, is a mixture of fire & ice (different juice makers and different nic levels ranging from .6% to 1.8%) and chocolate mint (again 3 different companies but nic levels of only .6%). Is it the cinnamon, the mint, or the combination of both that is helping me avoid the hacking fits in the morning? I experience little to no throat hit in general with this mixture. Although, I'm not sure if that's a factor as I have a couple juices that have little to no throat hit and still cause hacking fits in the morning.

Any suggestions would be helpful. I need this as a solution to quitting smoking. I have smoked for over 19 years. These last two weeks have been amazing as I have only had a handful of times where I've been tempted have analogs.

Sorry to hear about all the sore throats.. Honestly I had that problem for months, until I started to DIY my own juice. In my case I believe it was a combo of flavorings that I'm sensitive to and low quality cheap juice..since that time the raw throat feeling has completely gone away....
My usual mixes now are 70/30 PG/VG, flavorings at 8% by FA and PA and nic at 8-11mg.

Good luck finding what works for you.

Hydrate yourself good. Things that are natural to help is honey and lemon. Warm or hot but not cold. Use to drink lemonade with honey (Fresh) and heat it for colds, sinus and flu. It helps. But drinking more healthy fluids will help. If nothing else water. Sodas etc have a lot of junk in them. It's good to get some healthy stuff when your vaping as most flavors and juice have PG in them. You may also have an allergy to PG or if your getting a bit TH maybe your voltage is it bit high.

I drink two Amps every morning and two to three Mountain dews a day, not including the pepsi I drink with my rum and colas at night. The amount of caffeine I drink is definitely within the 500 to 600 mgs of caffeine that the mayo clinic report says makes caffeine have a diuretic effect. I'd say that it's not a myth for me. Alcohol also has a diuretic effect. I appreciate your concern for the truth about caffeine, though, Eric. I'd say that I am atypical in my caffeine consumption and that if hydration is a concern when vaping then I need to change my habits. Heck! The reason I went to vaping was for health reasons. Maybe it's just the first step of many to get me to a better place.
