Vaping is becoming painful

[sinistral]

I haven't vaping for too long, maybe 4-5 months, but lately vaping has become really hard on my throat and lungs. I used to smoke a pack of cigarettes a day and cigarettes never irritated my throat. But when I vape now it almost always makes me choke and cough Andy lungs tighten up making it hard to breathe. It was not like this for the first few months and I have been using the same stuff. I thought it might be a bad batch of cartos but I have boges in all resistances from 3 different well known vendors, resurrectors, fusions, and I get the same pain on all of them. Tried going back to clearomizers, same thing. I find myself having to smoke a cigarette here and there to relieve myself from the irritation I get from vaping. I'm pretty sure it's not my juice either because I've been vaping bobas bounty from the start and it was not like this. I'm probably going to ask a doctor but I was just wondering if anyone here might know what's going on. I'm very sad because I really enjoyed it when it was good.

What blend are you vaping? Sounds like an allergy to me...

Edit: NEvermind, I derped.

Yeah, you might want to try something that is 50/50 blend for a while. Sometimes, allergic reactions can take a while to come on.

I'm not a doctor.. So go see one...

You may be dehydrated.

Sounds like too much vg to me.

I can't tell you what your problem is, but don't be to quick to count out the juice. Your using 100% VG and it's produces very thick vapor, over time this can become too much for some peoples lungs, it did mine. Just like it takes a while to get to that point it can take just as long to get back to normal after switching to a higher PG juice. Just thought I'd mention this because I had a pretty drastic reaction to 100% VG juice over time, and I don't have the same with PG juices.

I am another one to say dont count out allergies to your flavors ingredients. It could be that maybe it reached a breaking point and your body is saying.. no more of that please. I have had alot of problems with allergies too. It took me a bit of experimentation with pg/vg levels. I also have to experiment with flavors. I have to dilute them down whereas others can vape them straight.

Dont give up. I remember I wanted to give up but I was NOT going back to regular cigarettes.

For me I cannot take high levels of PG. You are going to have to find your own way as we are all diferent.

I thought it could be the vg too but I use 100% vg because pg was too harsh in a different way. I do have several juices from fuzion vapors that I know have pg in them but I get the same tightness into chest and choking. I also keep a gallon of water beside my desk toile sure I stay hydrated. Bummer, just can't wait to get past this.

This has happened to me before, but with PG not VG. The PG irritates my throat, chaps my lips and makes me dehydrated. I mix a lot of my own juice now and use water instead of PG to thin it down. I've also found that flavorings can irritate me. I don't think I'm allergic to anything though, if I switch to a different juice for a while and go back to the one that was irritating, it's not irritating.
I bought a water bottle and it is always full of water, I have it with me all of the time and I don't have irritation any more.

Are you using the same juices all the time? Could be a flavor allergy. I would see a dr but also change to a new juice with a blend of pg/vg and see if it helps.

+1 on the allergy
i had an immediate reaction to one brand/flavor...scratchy throat/chest tightness.
it was a "premium" with a fancy nondescript name so i am not sure what it was...just figured since it only happened with that juice, i had a sensitivity to one or more of the ingredients....

Instead of inhaling in to your lungs, take the vapor all the way to the back of your throat laugh and exhale out of your nose.
