throat is getting sore dont want to smoke so help Pleze

[KENNY V]

Are ya proud of me no smokes today.Now the only problem I have is my throat is getting sore from vaping sessions prob not enough as well as I have a cheapo clearo...... its better thanCardo,s but still dry cold as hell.
( no worries T3 and ½ doz Ce4s onda way)


What can I do with the sore throat when I want to vape ? I am NOT vaping too much 2-6 puffs about an hour or so.... DO YOU THINK I NEED STROGER juice CUZ I keep LOOKING FOR IT AND SEEMS TO WARE OFF WITHIN THE HOUR?
If I drip a few drops thats cuts it .


Im drinking plenty of water and any idea why my throat is getting sore?
Sort of like when ya eat ice cream or get a brain freeze from a Slurpee.
I need to mention today is my firs tofficial day OFF the smokes . But I need this problem fixed fast so I dont resort to smokes.
Please advise

You probably have too much of the PG in there Propoline glycol is an antiseptic thing. It also draws out water. try a higher Vegetable glycerin content and it will probably help.

Im vaping 3 different juices VG 90/10 and 70/30 its happening w/ both

another words have3 clearo's filled only take one or two puffs then switch bc I don't like the flavor...
after maybe 5- 8 small puffs or so.. my throat sore

You might wanna try 70-100% VG

I get sore throats from nic withdrawal, and it's also common when you first switch. Have a drink handy to keep your throat moist. Why is everyone always hating on PG?

 

[Johnnie Price]

I had the same thing when I switched. Vapor is completely different compared to smoke. I'm sure when you first started smoking it hurt like hell too.

It may be a PG or VG allergy. Try 100% of either. ECBlend is good for this; you can get 2 5 ml bottles for $5.00 plus shipping.

But more than likely your throat is just getting accustomed to the vapor.

Good luck.

Well, PG is dryer than VG.

But at least for me, VG just tastes nasty. If I go above 20-30%, my mouth and nostrils just feel oily.

I just think it's funny that as soon as someone as any sort of problem vaping, 75% of the responses are "Vape 100% VG!".

What works for me is Biotene dry mouth mouthwash, it helps throat harshness and helps with dry mouth.

How long have you been vaping for? The first couple of weeks people get sore throats/weird taste bud problems but it goes away eventually. Don't look for excuses to smoke

The dry throat will go away, I had it the first week of vaping. Keep drinking plenty of water, get some of those throat lozenges that will help. Some flavors ive found will dry the throat out more than others. I found the tobacco ones do more than the sweet ones. I started with 100% PG, and now im at 50/50 I really dont find any diffence in how it vapes really other than vapor quanity, but ive had some flavors that produced no vapor.

PG is a germacide
Both PG and VG bind with water. SO both will do the same thing as far as taking amount of water out of your body on exhale.
keep drinking plenty of fluids!

No no. First you need to grab a Twist and a Vivi Nova, then trim the wicks and then grab the Boba's. Or a carto-tank. Or a Provari with a ZAP.

Though really you could probably make do with some Halls.

I want to make sure we are talking about the same thing. normally when you use a "/" with numbers, the first number is the PG amount and the second is the VG
so are you vaping 90% PG and 10% VG. And also have 70% PG and 30% VG?
if so, try doing a 50/50 blend and see if that helps.

I agree, the brain is a tricky bugger. Its going to make you think all kinds of things to get you to smoke again.

Swallow pure honey followed by warm water and it will go way quick. I had this too way back when I use to vape a cheap E8 from China. It felt like swallowing glass and I did not have strep. Once I moved away from their nasty, old stock carts and used something btter, that pain never came back. Feel better!!

maybe it's 'hitting like a freight train'. That will cause a sore throat.

Try a sip of water before and after each puff. I know you drink water, just that doing it right while vaping can help.

What mg are you using? It sounds like wta has been a huge help for you, you might just need a bump in the nic mg along with it. Note, though, that nicotine does increase throat hit.

Switching to vaping is easy for some, harder for others. Your throat getting used to vaping instead of smoking is pretty normal, your body needs some time to adapt. A lot of people I've known have felt irritation, had some coughing, early on.

If you're using a clearo you may be getting dry hits. If you're using a carto you need to drop a few drops of juice in it. It is not a good idea to vape anything that doesn't wick well. I've found that with clearos you need to twirl your clearo around for the wick to soak through, they're not made to vape more than three times in a row. The only clearo I haven't had this problem with is the Kanger T3.
