You may have some sensitivity to PG. Hard to know for sure. I'm just the opposite. VG does unpleasant things to my sinuses and makes my throat want to close up. Not good. I only put just a little VG in my DIY juice (15%) and that doesn't bother me. But juice with mostly VG I seriously don't like, and it doesn't like me!

I've been doing 85% PG for a while, but I've been so breathless lately, I just mixed up some 86%, to see if that helps. Also used less Flash, the stuff I add for better TH, because as much as i love TH, I think I'm becoming less tolerant of it. :( Down to 5mg nic now, so not much TH from that.

I mix about 65/35 PG/VG, for similar reasons. Too much VG seems to build a lot of phlegm in my throat, but don't have the sinus issues.

A real tootle puffing rig :D

According to the vid someone is actually selling that deathtrap.
Can't wait for Busardo to do a review on it.....

Is he suicidal? Maybe he needs to talk to someone... :shock:

Everybody got all the xmas shopping done? We did ours today. :facepalm: Traffic was appalling. But it was great to come home from shopping, add up all the receipts, and realize there was still nearly $150 in the bank. :shock: I told my husband we should buy his boss a present, for THREE raises this year; it's helped so much!!!!!

:banana:

I am the same. I vape 70-80% PG Any more VG and I get a very heavy chest and my sinuses and throat play up.

Vapez if you think you are sensitive you need to go through a discovery phase, it could be the nic brand, the flavours, the pg or VG dilutants or even the new tanks airflow. Start with the basics and isolate one thing at a time. I suffer allergies and it's the only way to discover the issue. It may not be as simple as your vaping, it could be food, drink, shampoo, soap, medication.......anything you have changed in your life.

You are the only one that can judge how you feel.
I am talking about the shortness of breath and heaviness in breath I feel when and right after vaping. This has happened a lot of times, but not with higher vg :)

I think I'm done. Not a lot to buy for, anymore. Brother and I have not exchanged gifts since we were in our twenties. Both husband's and my parents and aunts and uncles are all dead. So that just leaves our immediate family and we've been paring things down every year. Basically, this year we agreed to not exchange gifts, again. Although, as usual, I ignored that and got everyone at least some little thing! I also got myself a CF4 (on sale)...it will be "from Santa" in my stocking!

Same here. We just buy for our son, and we send our nieces and nephews money so they can get what they want. Being we're in Florida and everyone else is in NYC, Canada, and the NE in general, it just makes things much easier! My wife and I don't really exchange anymore. We get something we both need and say Thanks to each other! :lol:
Just not the same without the Family close by anymore.:( But we still Love Christmas! :thumb:

Ah, well. They are used to it. Just doesn't feel like Christmas unless I give my family some gifts! They know that if I really want something I'll just buy it myself (like that CF4) if I think it'll fit in our budget. Husband is very understanding. He's never really ever said "no" when I want to get something. He might try to reason with me, but I am pretty good with "reasoning" right back! Besides...he knows that I'm even more tightfisted and money conscious than he is. And I'm the one who does the money managing in the family. :)

Most of mine are gone too; just my parents and my aunt left, and I never know what to get either of them. We got my stepdad baseball cards, because he collects them; got my mom a giftcard from Ulta, and a couple of different cream/lotion things, for her various skin problems. My aunt has a fondness for all things vanilla (so do I!), so we got vanilla: body wash, liquid hand soap, and 2 different hand creams. It's very hard to find vanilla body lotion anymore, dagnabbit. St Ives used to make a nice one, but I can no longer find it. :(

My gift from my husband, for me to open xmas day at my folks', is that iPV Mini and some driptips; he was looking for something around that same $40 for me to get for him to open, but so far hasn't found anything -- he wants a bench grinder from Harbor Freight, which is on sale for $40, but I told him to hold off because he might be getting a Harbor Freight giftcard; I think my aunt may be getting him that, now that she knows what his favorite "toy store" is. :D Our son is still out of state, so we'll just be sending him money -- what he likes best. :D

I've just got 2 or 3 small things to get - two of them I'd seen a couple of weeks ago on an artisan's stall at the shopping mall but when I was there on Thursday, she wasn't there (although the stall is) so I went again on Friday and she still wasn't there. I'm hoping it will be 3rd time lucky when I go again tomorrow or else I'll have to come up with something else. They've got to be reasonably small things to fit in hand luggage as we're off to the UK for Christmas on Wednesday.

Sorted out my stuff yesterday. Put all spare parts in boxes instead as well. Oh, those kuro coiler thingies in the back i will never use. And the pink tank setup is what my girlfriend uses sometimes.

Thanks...I don't "do" Fasttech, really. But they really are nice little brushes!
Yea, have other uses for them as well.

What's wrong with fasttech? They got excellent prices, top quality on most products. And if there is something wrong with a product, they either full refund or send a replacement. I told them that one of the tips on the 10 bottles I ordered from them was a littly loose. I get 5 whole bottles sent for free with "higher class" shipping.
