I haven't heard anything about this before...BUT... i've had sinus infections, a couple times last year or so, and noticed that the most recent one cleared up seemingly on it's own within a day or two of receiving my volt starter kit, and beginning vaping.

In the past i've had to see a doc for corticosteroid nasal spray(which works, and I still have on hand if needed), but I did suspect that the vaping + exhaling through nostrils may have had something to do with my sinuses clearing up. I didn't use the med spray at all that time.

Now i'm even more convinced. :thumb:

REALLY!! I get chronic sinus infections...monthly! No kidding! If PG cleared up yours I can only hope it does the same for me!! This is exciting! I am a little sensitive to PG but if it keeps sinus infections away I'll tolerate it believe me. Monthly rounds of 14+ days of antibiotics (the big guns too!) and steriod nasal sprays aren't good time and time again for the body. This past summer i was on antibiotics all of july and aug for a really stubborn infection. Hey....if it does work you'd think they'd tell people about it but you know what? The docs would say 'its because you quite smoking' and wouldn't acknowledge the PG/e-cig at all. Plus big pharma would lose too much money. If I suddenly stop getting them I'll tell any and everyone to vape some PG :)

Interesting!
I have been vaping for just a little over a year. definitely healthier:) and fatter:( ! I used to get several sinus infections a year and have had none since I started vaping. So who knows, but it's great. Not only am I saving money not smoking, I am saving money not running to the doc and being loaded with medication co-pays. Win win for me.

Well since I quit smoking and started vaping I have had one cold and one sinus infection and zero allergies. I was all stuffed up with the cold and sinus problem and I exhaled through my nose and found as long as I vaped I could breathe. :)

I have no idea if the vaping has helped my allergies. I just haven't had any problem this year with them at all. Could be the PG or it could be luck.

This will be really interesting for me then because I'm a walking sinus infection. I hope I have as much luck as you guys! :)

I guess we'll never know for sure if it is vaping that keeps them away or the lack of analogs. It would be cool if it was the vaping though. I've been googling PG as a disinfectant and such. There is some interesting reading on it!
