Rum flavour giving strange feeling in throat?

[dms25]

Hi there.

New to DIY here, made my 1st batch last week and love it, one was a simple 1 flavour tobacco juice then other I made was Rum, Vanilla & Coconut.

I love the flavour of the later but I get a strange throat sensation from it, sometimes kind of dry & itchy, sometimes acrid in the throat. Can this be because of the rum?

I used to vape a rum & banana (commercial mix) in my Egrip and loved it before I started rebuilding and lower ohms, but when I moved to a 1ohm and 20watts setup I also noticed a dry itchyness in my throat...

So my question, is it the Rum? Are all alcoholic flavours like this at higher wattage? If so any other flavours to stay away from?

Can't be positive, but sounds sorta like an allergy or sensitivity to something in the flavors. The only way to tell which one is to try them all separately. If you got the same reaction from the commercial juice when you lowered the ohms, chances are it may be the rum. Just my

There can be many causes to this sensation. Might want to try the search function in upper right hand corner of this post. Could type in "dry & itchy throat". With DIY you may easily find the cause and at the least alleviate it. I would not eliminate any flavor because I suspect it's causing the problem until I know without a doubt.

I've tried another mix with half the amount of rum flavouring, once it has steeped I will see if that makes a difference
