shortness of breath after mixing liquid

[NamedMunn]

I have today had a bit of trouble breathing. Been vaping for months now and feeling generally a lot better. Recieved some vapourworld menthol max intense 24mg liquid today. Really didnt like the taste and mixed in some 24mg double mint from LF. The LF is PG and I just realised the vapourworld is PEG. I havent had any problems before and this is the only different thing. After checking it out, There doesnt seem to be an issue with mixing the two but does anyone have any other ideas?

Cheers

Welcome to the forum. I can't say that I have the answer to your shortness of breath but if it were me, I probably would pass out from the fumes from all that menthol. Somebody will come along with a more helpful reply I'm sure.

Your having a reaction to some ingredient. I have the same with PG, menthol crystals, and cinnamon although the latter is mild so I can vape it now and then in short spurts.
Unfortunately this means experimentation on your part. I'd try some other liquid that is PG based and see how it goes. If that isn't it, it's probably the flavoring.

I know very little about PEG.

What do you usually vape? Nicotine is a skin irritant. PG (and from what little I can gather possibly PEG) let through the most flavor, nicotine Th and nicotine irritation. Medium or high nic with no VG can irritate mouth, tongue, throat and even lungs.

I recommend juices with some VG in them. In simple stuffing cartos I like10-20% VG (thin for good wicking) but 30% works (carto may just not work well as long). Tanks and reservoir cartos usually like 10-30%. On a normal atomizer try 30 to 50% VG.

When i started vaping it was with 18mg nic in 100% PG and my tongue and throat got very sore. 20-30% VG got rid of the irritation while leaving most of the flavor and TH.

Though most folks refer to PG as being the allergic factor when vaping, there are some of us who cannot handle the VG. I can handle 80/20 PG/VG but any juice with more VG makes me short of breath.

I myself have also noticed darker liquids (coffe/chocolate) would irritate my mouth or make me cough. high pg also dries out my mouth. some odd flavors ive also had an issue with (bananna beeing one)

I would definitely stop vaping it. Stick with a juice that you've vaped in he past and see if you still have issues. Take care and monitor how you feel. Hopefully it's just a juice reaction but if you continue to be short of breath, get checked out. Better to be safe than sorry.

Hope you feel better!

I'm that way as well, and I accidently ordered one of my fav juices in 80vg/20pg.

thanks so much guys. i stopped using the vapourworld liquid last night an went back to using one of the menthols i had previously used before. Chest was fine this morning. So i think i may be allergic to something in the intense mix. Ah well no harm no foul. And just to point out this is no way a criticism of the vapourworld juice. Iv bought menthol before but not the intense liquid. Il prob stick to the LF menthol/tabacco stuff now havin had no issue.
Again thanks guys, this forum and its members are a HUGE help
