Sever Coughing Every Morning

[BillyTheWild]

For about a week, I was awakened by very bad coughing fits every morning around 5 – 6 a.m. It was like clock work. It was so severe that I thought I was going to cough my lungs out. Yet, it was not like a lung cough. It was the throat being very sensitive and irritable. During the day, my throat was just itchy and scratchy but not much coughing.

It may be just a coincident but it started a few days after I had began vaping some Hangsen juice I got from Caterpillar. They don’t say it on the web site but they have told me in an email that their Hangsen juices are 80 PG/ 20 VG. Up to that point I had been only vaping 50/50 juices. So, I stopped vaping totally for a few days and took a lot of throat drops. Now, the coughing is mostly gone and I start vaping again using my 50/50 juices and have had no symptom. I don’t know but I suspect may be the high PG level is cause of my symptom. I google PG allergy but I cannot find a definitive answer. Anyone has a similar experience.

PG sensitivity is more likely although some are allergic. PG is in so many day-to-day products, like toothpaste, that we have constant exposure. You can also try 100% VG juices and see how you are on that. Many choices these days . I prefer VG heavy juices 20/80 is a sweet spot.

PG is more drying than VG, VG is actually used to hydrate skin, so vaping VG is not going to dry your throat like higher PG. If 50/50 works for you i would stick with juices you can pick your mix. Drink LOTS of water too, you could be dehydrated. bnrk

It probably isn't an allergy, if the 50/50 isn't causing symptoms I would just stick with that, if the coughing comes back using 50/50 then perhaps it's your nicotine level, as suggested by bnrkwest be sure to drink plenty of water.

That makes sense, sensitivity rather than allergy.

Forgot to mention, at the same time, my wife vaping the same juice developed a sore on her lip and complained that her throat hurt.

Too bad, my wife likes the Hangsen Floral flavors a lot and Caterpillar is the only place I know of who sells them, but of course also in 80% PG.
