Sore throat...blah

[sahara4evr]

Yesterday was my first full day of vaping...loved it. I haven't had an analog for 24 hours. YEA... Not so fond of the sore throat or stuffy nose this morning. Also, it seems like I can't taste anything. My e-juice has no taste this morning nor does my coffee. I've already read all of the health issues associated with e-cigs (I did that way before I bought one.) I realize it's probably the PG. Still, I just wanted to complain a bit.

Opps... I think I made a gaffe. I didn't think about the fact that this new thread would take up space. Obviously, my desire to complain isn't really a necessary post. Anyone wanting to delete this may. I'm a newbie so forgive my ignorance.

Had one of those 5 days ago. Sore throat, swollen gland in ma neck, no taste to anyhting etc. If it is actually PG related then I'd switch fast cuz that can cause a wicked rash and some other nasty reactions.

Are you pulling my leg Greyfox or are you serious? I wasn't thinking about allergic reaction. I was thinking that the PG was drying me out.

PG might give you a sore throat especially if you are not drinking enough water but usually does not affect your sense of taste, but "undefind" below says no

or maybe it is unrelated like catching a cold?

it seems that everyone's taste buds become affected at some point after they start vaping/quit smoking. i have been struggling with it for several days now and it sucks. i think i am just barely getting my taste back.

I could be catching a cold. There's a tendency to blame vaping for any sudden symptoms that appear. My sore throat has gotten better as the day progresses and I can taste things a bit better.

I find if I get any juice in my mouth I can't taste anything

It will pass, same thing happened to me, sore throat, stuffed up, and cough. Part of the de-tox effect. I was back to normal in about a week. Just stick it out.

Drink - drink lots! Can't say this enough times to new vapers - you must drink a lot more than you used to now that you vape. PG and VG are both drying; if you let them they would turn you into a mummy (lol no they wouldn't but sometimes a good image gets the point across).

Thanks for the advice. I will drink more. After about an hour or two yesterday morning, my throat was better. I got up this morning and I had the sore throat again. I drank a lot of water before bed (witnessed by the number of times I had to get up last night) but my throat is still sore. My liquid is complete PG so when I get some more I'll make sure to get a 50-50 mix and maybe that will help. By the way...it is my observation that the first vape in the morning is NOT as satisfying as the first analog. So far, this is the only analog I really miss.
