Hi everyone,

I know it's been a while since I posted, but I thought I would update...So after exhausting seemingly every possibility, I finally found the culprit to this issue.

It never occurred to me that I had tried changing every single thing, apart from the....cotton. Yes, the cotton.

You see, for pretty much all of my rebuilding journey over the years, I had been using Cotton Bacon, or MUJI. By chance, a couple of months ago, the shop had run out, and so instead, I tried Cotton Candy. Once I had vaped for a months, it suddenly dawned on me that I had zero issues, and this annoying symptom that plagued me for years and years, had vanished.

I got some more Cotton Bacon to confirm, and yes, within a couple of hours, the problem returned. The same with MUJI. Switched back to Cotton Candy...no issues at all for over a month. I can vape away with zero issues.

It must be a very rare case of an allergy to something these cotton manufactures put in the cotton. It is SO nice to not worry about this infuriating issue anymore

Anyway, thought I'd let people know on the very slim chance it occurs for someone else. Even though it appears to be extremely rare

Thanks

I have something similar with dry throat around the Adam's Apple area, usually when it starts it lasts a couple of months and then goes away. It started a few years after I started vaping. I get checked regularly by my ENT and there is nothing there! :) It's probably a side effect from vaping. he told me he has other patience who vape who report about throat irritation.

I have experienced something similar with different cotton.
Cotton Candy is a preference of mine also after a bit of trial and error.
