Vape irritation

[8a31]

I have been vapeing since June of this year. I love the flavors and the smoothness of vapeing. I have been using 24mg for most of that time. I have used the K-Go since I started and still use the same one and keep it clean.
My problem has come on recently.
When I try to vape I start coughing real bad. My lungs are also burning like they do when you’re to close to a camp fire. I have tried pg and vg and mixes of each with no luck. I have tried different suppliers and china liquid. I have even tried 0mg liquid. Nothing seems to help.
Does anyone have any Idea whats going on? Has anyone else had this problem?
I was down to 1 pack of ultra lite analogs per week. Now Im back to my 1 ½ packs per day.
PLEASE HELP !!!!

Fluid is not getting to the atomizer coil time for a new atty or carto . The atomizers and cartos are not supposed to last very long . Atomizers last longer but still need to be changed . You can try boiling or alcohol or some of the other cleaning methods but there is nothing like a new one for flavor . That is the only part that can make any difference the rest is just a battery with a button . coils get caked with gunk burnt onto them or the heat like a light bulb wears them out that is why they are considered disposable .

If I'm understanding what you explained correctly, I would agree with Bdbodger. No matter how clean you keep your atty's or carts, they eventually need to be replaced. The coughing and irritation are exactly what I've felt when a carto's gone bad. I've never minded buying a healthy supply of equipment since the health aspect is much more important to me than saving money. Your pv is the most likely suspect if you've already tried different pg/vg mixes. It sucks that you had to switch back to analogs. Hope you can figure it out. Best of luck.

If you've been vaping since the summer and this suddenly came on, I'd see a doctor. If everything you've been doing has been the same up until now, it's probably not due to vaping. Probably the worst thing to be doing is smoking. It deadens all the cilia in your lungs and that line your airways. That's probably why smoking isn't bothering you.

The only other thing I would suggest is try a juice like the EchoPure. And maybe try a clearomizer without any filler.

But I'd still see a doctor, maybe you have some sort of URI.

I'd go with some seriously organic products. Give Virgin Vapors a whirl. Nothing artificial in any of her juices, and they're by far the best I've tried of any vendor. She does offer the ecopure liquids, also, presteeped for 2 weeks.

Something to keep in mind when you're trying to figure out what's causing your irritation is that the medium (VG/PG) is only one thing put into liquids. Its definitely something to be concerned with. I started having major problems with PG after a year and a half of no issues, so it can come on suddenly. But the base is just one component. The vast majority of vendors use artificial flavorings to get their flavor, and those flavorings all have a ton of different chemicals, each one of which could be causing your reaction. Just because something is rated safe for human consumption, that doesn't mean that its particularly a good thing to be ingesting. Adults specifically can become suddenly allergic to something they've used daily for years and never had problems with. I'd try new cartos/atty's etc...anything that should be replaced. Then try a good organic pure liquid... I recommend Virgin Vapor, as she lists every single ingredient in her liquids, but I know there are other vendors out there. If you're still having problems, i'd definitely see a doctor. Not to scare you, but sometimes a symptom is a warning that something is going wrong, so better safe than sorry. Good luck!
