Sore throat, can barely talk - could it be the liquid?

[slickcdb2000]

Well, to be honest there is a flavor that after a day or 2 of vaping it my throat gets very very irritated. It's black licorice from mad vapes, love the taste mostly because it's super strong, that too is probably what's hurting me! There are other flavors that I vape from mad vapes that don't bother me one bit!

Could very easily be a single flavor component of the juice. I realized yesterday that something about a particular marshmallow flavor irritates the crap out of my throat. I DIY and so far have made Oba Oba, French Vanilla, and Marshmallow. No problems whatsoever with 50/50 unflavored liquid, heavy VG liquid, Oba, or Vanilla. A few vapes of 50/50 marshmallow at any flavoring percentage and I'm reminded of when I would get tonsilitis on a regular basis...except I don't have tonsils anymore.

Allergies are the culprit, the strong juice was just making my already raw throat hurt more. Yea!

You say you drink 'fluids'. Most 'fluids' are diuretics. For every 8 ounces of coffee, one needs 16 ounces of water to negate the diuretic effects of coffee. Your symptom is classic dehydration. Pinch the skin on the top of your hand while pulling upward & if it doesn't snap back immediately= dehydration. Put the tips of your fingers in a bowl of water for 2 minute & if they start showing signs of wrinkling=dehydration. The faster the wrinkles appear,the more dehydrated one is. These tests may be crude,but they work. all water is fluid,but not all fluid is water.

I appreciate the information but it's not dehydration and your info on diuretics (coffee and such) is way off.

Multiple studies have busted that old myth...but I don't drink much caffeine, it keeps me awake all night.

Might be the hazelnut flavouring. I read an article that most hazelnuts contain an ingredient that causes allerigies, I wish I could find it. I will try a google search and see if I can find it.

I think this is a similar article.

I took this quote from a search, but it warned that the site might be harmful so I just cut and pasted: Hazelnut Flavor ..... Higher concentrations can be extremely dangerous, even fatal.

I dont think all hazelnut is bad, just the ones that contain diacetyl. Just make sure you ask the vendor if it is used in any of the ingredients.

I am, thank you! It was indeed allergies, the sore throat was from drainage and the e-liquid was just a bit too harsh while my throat was sore. Sinus irrigation cleared it right up and the same juice has no affect on me now. I just didn't have the typical other symptoms I usually do with allergies and was taking my allergy meds so wasn't sure that was my problem.
