Starting VG sore throat

[owutaqt]

So, I have a pretty simple question. I got a hold of some bad juice that happened to be 80 percent VG and I got pretty sick. I thought at the time that it was the VG so I went only with PG for quite awhile. I am having a difficult time finding juices that are all PG in flavors I want so I would like to do some VG again.

I have noticed when I add some VG into the mix after a while I get a sore throat....is this normal? Will it go away after I get used to it?

My first starter stuff was 100 percent VG and I did fine, so I don't think its an allergy, but I feel a little stuff and have a little sore throat...anyone have an idea?

I would like to do a mix, and if I ever do develop a true allergy to PG I would like to have the option, but I think I am a little gun shy at this point.

Any info appreciated.

Are you absolutely sure it was the VG? Could it have possible been a higher nicotine level or different flavor. I break out in a red rash on my face when I vape watermelon, and I get a sore throat when I vape higher nicotine levels. I ordered 24 mg nic and had to cut it with VG to get rid of my sore throat.

Well the only other thing new is the 5 volt mod I am using...could that do it?

Could be, I never had pg problems until I started using a 5 volt mod. Now I can't vape pg, some flavors and am having a bunch of troubles. I am now VG only but can't find really good tobacco vapes. Plus my lungs do not feel as clear and my shortness of breath has come back with Vg but have no other options but analogs and that is not gonna happpen.

so you still cannot do PG even at lower voltage?

If I'm not mistaken, you're getting much more vapor with the 5v. I recently tried a 5v box mod and there is a considerable difference in vapor and throat hit, you may need to just cut back a bit, or take smaller hits. HTH
