What is a nice flavour either 80 percent vg 20 percent pg or 100 percent vg as if I even take 3/4 puffs my throat swells up, I recently tried getting one especially more vg , as for the flavour it tasted like burnt milk 
supposed to be vanilla custard, tastes like burnt custard, I won't be buying that again

My throat does the same with higher PG liquids. Drinking water during and after vaping helps.
That burnt taste may be your wick not wicking the thicker VG liquid fast enough.

There is a distinct minority of vapers who are sensitive to pg, and an even smaller percentage who are actually allergic to the stuff. With a swollen (rather than irritated) throat, you likely have a genuine allergy, and it might even be dangerous.
For what it's worth, when a liquid is listed as 80/20, that means 80% pg. It is not for you. Either dilute it or get rid of it. By convention, when percentages are given, pg comes first. Unfortunately, many people and some blenders are not aware of the convention.
Welcome and glad you joined.

I was sensitive to PG, but it obviously wasn't an allergy as I can vape 100% PG these days. It's taken me 3 years to get to this point, mind you.
Strangely enough, the 100% PG liquid I vaped on Wednesday and Thursday was a bottle I got 'wrongly' 14 months ago and didn't feel I should vape.
So, probably worth keeping unless you find out it's a permanent problem.

Considering you haven't displayed a sensitivity to PG prior to
vaping you should quit vaping and consult a Doctor.
A swollen throat indicates a serious problem.

PG makes my throat scratchy a bit, but sensitivity to PG is somewhat rare, and if not allergic nothing to worry about to be honest.
Your throat swelling is nothing to be taken lightly. Try lower pg, and, if that does not help, see a doctor. My daughter gets the feeling that her throat is closing up when she has anything with artificial sweeteners, and wound up going to the emergency room once for it when she accidentally got a bottle of flavored water that had aspartame in it.
Quite a few vendors list pg first, then vg, but some do it the opposite, with vg listed first. If you are buying your eliquids at a store, double and triple check the label before you leave the store. If the pg/vg ratio is not stated on the label, ask the clerk. On special occasions, we treat ourselves to a premium eliquid that does not state the pg/vg ratios, but does list vg before pg in the ingredients, so this is a higher vg eliquid. If you are buying online, double and triple check the pg/vg ratios of what you are ordering. When in doubt, contact the vendor, explain your issue, and ask for help getting the correct pg/vg ratio for you.
As far as your custard issue goes, you might have burnt the coil, since vg is thicker and higher levels of vg require more wicking time. I have also found that, for me, custards/creams/some bakery flavors do not start to come into their own, flavorwise, until I have let them steep for at least 2 weeks. You might want to hold on to that custard, and try it again at a later date.
Be sure to shake the eliquid bottle every time you fill or top off your tank.

Hi! There's a lot of great responses in this thread, but I just wanted to add my own experience in case it might help. A few months ago, I may have had a reaction to pg--swollen throat, sniffles, the whole bit. However, it happened around the time the vaping shop I was going to started carrying only cotton replacement coils for my Kanger mini protank 2. I still don't know which was the culprit--their juice or the coils. I had been vaping their juice for several months without issue, and cotton is supposed to be better. Who knows? These days I'm vaping juice with more VG than PG and I change my coils frequently--costs more, but I've felt better since.
