Thanks for the reply. I'm going to go with the 60/40 local company I went with a few years ago. Maybe my Boosted line that I like is just to high at 60 vg. I appreciate your help so much! Thank you!

I wonder if for some, like you and I, it may be a combo of high%VG and another malady of sorts. I have allergies, hay fever, cats and other animals, sometimes I don't actually know what's causing it. I hadn't really thought much of it before about it being caused by a combo of things , just knew it was the VG.
I live in a very dry part of Texas and the cotton ginning just started. We all tend to get the sinus/allergy mess during ginning season. I've wondered if it is just a combination of allergy inducing agents. I'm going to go back to exactly what I did 2 years ago. Same device. Same liquid brand and nic strength. Praying that fixes it all and I can kick the analogs once and for all.
My words.
When those breathing issues started I claimed the flu, later denied the symptoms all together. I was a f r a i d I might be forced to give up vaping. So, this is clear now: I have almost 200 ml plain vg to give away.
So sorry! I know how bad that will hit the pocket book, but sure seems like it could be the problem.
Well, if you're making your own liquid, you could just add a bit of the VG into it, unless you don't want to use any VG at all.My words.

Ok, maybe one last question for y'all. On average what do you think your "puff count" is daily? I know this will vary based on nic levels and devices, but I don't want to keep chain vaping and would be curious to know a round about figure. For example, if you smoked a pack of analogs a day when you started vaping, how often do you find yourself hitting your device. I know that will have lots of variability, but I just am so scared that the chain vaping could be worse than just smoking the analogs. Does that make sense?
It's very hard to describe how much I vape in that way. It's probably better to compare total milliliters used per day. I vape around 6 or 7 ml a day(24mg) on average. I used to vape 3 to 4ml a day, but then I started using 1 ohm or slightly sub ohm coils. If you're constantly vaping all day I'd suggest to try upping your nic level. We tend to put the vape down without thinking about it when we've had enough nic. If I remember correctly, this is called Self Titration.
That's a good idea to try the juice you started on. I vape 80pg/20VG, I'm one of those people who get wheezy if I vape higher VG. I don't consider any vaping that makes you wheeze as ok or normal.
I think you're on to something math girl. Listen to your body, try higher pg and see how that does for you. Different ratios and even juices. 50/50 and even 70pg/30vg is too much VG for me, 80pg/20vg perfect. I vape mouth to lung at only 8 to 9W so the high Pg isn't as harsh a hit as someone vaping at high power. Some don't do well with high PG and some don't do well with high VG (me).

Lucky VG is cheap here, I think*. 100 ml for 2,7 euros.
Pure PG I haven't found to purchase at all.
Nicotine liquids aren't for sale yet. Law is changing the coming year, bringing more restrictions and giant costs. I won't be able to buy liquids or devices online.
*I thought 10 ml flavored nic juice for 4 euros was cheap, seems I was wrong. (More, when my tank gives just 3 clouds per 2,5 ml, it is pretty costly.)
The puff counters don't work for me as I tend to take very short draws and many don't register as puffs on the counter. Not that I really care to know. I do know I vape more time than I used to smoke. Stinkies had a natural finish to them and a guilt attached to lighting another right away. Vaping has no such natural finish and since the most influential part of the addiction is the ceremony of smoking/vaping it is easy to have it increase with vaping.
I can verify that statement high% VG liquids even plain bases gives me the same problem.
Even if I stop using them I need over a week to turn back to normal. The combination of a high VG liquid, subohm coils and over 22-25 Watt vaping gives me a pretty short breathing effect, and not only that. I have notice stomach issues too. Mark that I have take a pretty tuff med check up recently so I have exclude other medical issues. I know a lot of vapers who can't stand low VG% from the other hand. I strongly believe that everyone has to listen to his body like David Wolf mentions. If something goes wrong with your breath or your body and you have no any other medical issues check your juice and your coil - Watt combination.
I hang up to 40% VG - 50% PG and never up to 60% VG - 40% PG. Also I never step over the 22W barrier 6mg nic and no more than 5ml per day max.
That's my combo and works for me please don't take it as a solution but something to consider.
Hope I helped a little.
Thanks for your combo information. I am waiting for a 12mg nic to get here with a 60pg/40vg mix & I vape on a pen type device and never go over 4.3 volts. Praying I can get back to the sweet spot I was at 2 years ago. I appreciate all of your input. Even if it doesn't work for me now, it is something to remember down the road! Thank you!
Are you over breathing which leads to hypeventilation, This happens with anxiety best way is to close your lips and breathe through your nose when you realise it is happening

Not all people can have a steady and efficient nasal breathe. I have a major issue with my nose (to many "accidents") and it's beyond any "repair" so I learned to balance my breathing equalising oral and nasal breathing it works but not all the times. But in my case unbalanced breathing is not the issue. High VG did the bad trick so I skip it and everything OK
Use as intended, makes great skin protectant/humectant. Use after shower/bath in winter, etc.
I use to soften pine needles to make pine needle baskets as well (soaking them in VG makes them pliable and less brittle). See if your local art place can use the VG.
I don't know if this has been covered but I recently started a topic on this also. I was having shortness of breath and it turned out to be certain flavors I was using.
The flavors like rainbow sherbet that are mixed with many other flavors to create it and it was basically like vaping perfume. I actually had to use my inhaler to breathe right again.
From now on I stick to simple juices like single fruit mixes and nothing that tastes like chemicals. Banana nut bread also had a chemical aftertaste that reminded me of chlorine.
