Haven't checked this site out in a while, wow am I way behind. Always something new to try and here I am with my evods and vision spinners lol. Anyway, started having some throat issues the last couple of months. It gets sore, lymphs swell, like my sinuses are draining only they aren't. I noticed vaping seems to be the source, but not sure if it's an equipment issue or juice. I always get the 50/50, just cuz it never seemed to matter which I used. I found a juice I can vape pretty much exclusively and have been using it for quite a while now. I haven't even touched the 50 others I've bought here and there, so nothing new introduced. Thought maybe I just need to change the pg/vg or something, could use any helpful insight, thx.

Hey, there's nothing wrong with Evods and Spinners :)

What makes you think vaping is the issue? I'm not defending vaping here, just wondering about the details of your situation.

If it is vaping, it could really be anything. IMO it's PG most of the time, but not always. Too much PG makes my throat sore so I stick with 60% VG and that works for me. Then again some people have trouble with VG and there are the flavors too. You've been vaping the same juice for a while now, but we can become sensitive to just about anything over time.

IMO, with your lymph nodes involved I would have it checked out by a doctor unless these symptoms go away when you don't vape for a while. If this is the case, I would try vaping VG alone and then add nicotine and then PG and then a flavor. One substance at a time until you find what bothers you.

Last time I had my teeth cleaned my dentist said my left tonsil was a little red a bigger then the other. Nothing alarming but noticeable She said something about post nasal drip.... I'm pretty sure it was like that when I was smoking too though. Upping voltage and increasing nic and overall getting more of a th seems to cause it to get a little sensative/irritated for ME.

Yea I've got the dry mouth for sure, I vape quite a bit more often than anyone should. The worst part about seeing a Dr is the lecture that comes with their advice. Nothing irritates me more than getting the guilt trip talk, especially when he knows I work in healthcare. They want to blame everything wrong with you on nicotine when they know you smoke/vape, whatever.

I suspect it's most likely an irritation to excessive usage. It's so easy to vape anywhere, I sneak em all day at work. My allergies are awful, wouldn't be surprised if I developed an allergy to something in it. The only reason I first suspected vaping is it seems to come on as I'm doing it, and will stay irritated for sometimes a few days. I've read others have had issues with it so thought they might know if something specific to what I'm using might be causing issues. I should probably start trying to wean myself down, but I feel like nicotine keeps the people I work with alive most days :p
