Sore throat?

[Commie]

Recently, vaping started feeling a bit rough on my throat, and I'm trying to find out what's causing it.

I did have a cold, but that's all gone, and it started after the cold instead of during it.

My juices do have 50-70% PG, but I haven't been sensitive to them before.

I do notice that higher resistance atomizers (like 1.5 ohm dual coils) seem to trouble me less than lower resistance (I normally use 1.8-2.1 cartos and atties).

The voltage I vape at has not changed, but I did seem to increase volume of vapor with my few recent toys.

Any ideas?

Thank you!
Commie

You could still be recovering from the cold ... drink lots of water. Maybe even drink some tea with honey to sooth your throat. But lots of water and wait a week to see. You could be dehydrated from the cold alone ...

That's good to hear, thank you! I was worried that I was developing sensitivity to PG Not even sure if it's possible to develop, or if that's just something you have.

Extra vapor may push you over the threshold of noticeable irritation, if nothing else has changed. That's more nicotine, PG, and whatever other irritants you may have in your juice.

Could also likely be that the extra vapor is from a hotter vape, which may be slightly overheating your juice, making it harsh.

Vaping at a lower voltage would likely help either of those cases, I imagine.

It's still possible you could be developing a sensitivity to PG. If you think it's getting bad enough that you might stop vaping all together while waiting to see if it clears up ... might want to go ahead and grab a VG juice and see if the irritation continues.

Try a 100% VG liquid for a day or two and see. That really helped me, and if you still hurt at least you know for sure it's not just the PG getting to you.

Thank you folks! I'll have to order some VG. Ugh, I hope that's not it, VG just doesn't feed good for me.

I get sore throats sometimes when ive been vaping heavily. Its usually cleared up by taking a break for an hour or two and drinking some water.

Used to happen a lot more when i was first starting to vape, its pretty rare now

I've been noticing since I've started doing this a slight feeling of constantly needing to clear my throat after vaping. Usually when I stop at night and go to sleep I wake up fine untill I take a few more puffs then I get that feeling back. It doesnt feel sore or hurt in anyway It just feels like I need to hock a loogie lol This is with a 70/30 mix so I might try a 50/50 to cut the pg a little and up the vg. I've only been vaping a month so I'm still trying to figure out the borderlines of my sensitivities to pg, vg and nic levels.
