Throat irritation

[newklear85]

Hi, I've been vaping for 5 days now and noticed that my throat burns the next morning and irritating me during the day. It's not severe, just annoying. Is this normal?

Thanks

What kind of juice are you vaping? PG or VG?

What kind of juice are you vaping? PG or VG?

Not sure... I think it's VG. I got it from epuff.ca(which btw tastes great)

 

[laborer75]

They don't list what it is on thier site. My guess is its PG mostly because PG is cheaper than VG. Try ordering from a company where you can get both 100% PG and 100% VG. One of them could be irritating your throat a bit.

Any suggestions?

I have had the same sort of problem- I think drinking alot of water helps!

 

[laborer75]

MyFreedomSmokes, Vaporbomb and TastyVapor are a few to try. I've gotten good flavors and excellent quality juices from all of them.

Drinking anything helps but the sore throat thing usually goes away after a bit, VG leaves an oily feeling in your mouth but some people swear by it. Plus when you stop real cigs seems on of the side effects of that is a sore throat too so who knows. Good luck and I hope it stops hurting.

Drink water and wait. Remember what your throat felt like after starting to smoke analogs?

I had that problem with pure PG juice. I knew I had a major problem when my lips began to burn also. I switch to VG and the throat thing lessoned. One key thing is to drink some water or gargle before bed and it will help. Most of the time this will pass if you drink water.

Drink LOTS more than usual - like at least half again - PG and VG are BOTH very drying as they draw moisture to themselves from outside which includes the inside if your mouth, nose and throat. Just drink heaps, water is best, and your kidneys will also love you. Irritation thats common and NOT an allergy should dissipate over a few days and not return unless your liquid consumption drops off.

I use sugar-free mints, jelly beans. Plus changing over to VG helped too.

I've been smoke-free for 5 days now. Amazing!

Good luck and keep at it.

Ipps, started vaping 10 days ago

i bought some niquid from a kiosk at the mall and i paid 30 dollars only to get my cravings fixed, a sore throat, irritated lungs, and a runny nose.

my carts came pre-filled when i bought the e-cig and the niquid didnt bother me, but now that i switched niquids, its been bugging the heck out of me.

anyways i have 2 different things u should try

try either that or putting less niquid on the carts, it might just be flooding the cart and your inhaling the liquid, not the smoke.

i think i might try a vg concentration and see how that works for me because with the carts it came with they didnt irritate me as much as these do. Good luck on finding the right niquid to buy

I have found that the PG I've used isn't so much irritating as a bit drying and after a day of heavy use my throat occasionally feels a little sore. A cup of tea usually does the trick nicely.

That said, I've heard some people can have mild allergic reactions to PG so it's probably worth trying VG, or a combination of PG and VG. Obviously, if your symptoms continue or worsen you should probably discontinue using your ecig and go see the doc.

To the OP:

Today is three weeks for me. (started e-cigs, stopped analogs) At two weeks, I developed a sore mouth/throat (upper throat at the very back of the mouth). It really hurt for about three days. Then it went away and now I'm fine. I have also cut back on the amount of my nicotine level in my juice, but I did that after this problem had pretty much resolved.

I think this must be normal when you first start using an e-cig.

DRINK LOTS OF WATER.

try warm tea. i just got over a acute bronchitis problem and i remember read in"The Doctors Book Of Home Remedies" by prevention magazine that any warm caffeinated beverage can help clear up breathing problems and sore throat. try adding a little honey and a small amount of lemon and it tastes great.
