i tried the ecig thing about a year ago and failed . but im at it again ... the same thing happend when i tried last time ..im just now putting 2 and 2 togeather ... my glands swell in my throat and i get really fatigued and vomit .(ALOT).. i didnt know it was the ecig last time and i went to many different doctors ... including the ent who scoped my throat twice , not knowing what the cause was we couldnt treat it . but then i gave up the ecigs and went back to smoking ... started feeling better , and again decided to try and quit the bad habit.... 2 weeks of the ecig i am again fatigued glands swollon and vomiting ...i dont want to smoke ...but i cant take this being sick either . what could be causing this ... mostly i have used vg juice ...bobbas being my favorite . at 18-24 nic level .
also went to the allergist and because we didnt know what to check nothing showed up on the basic allergy tests . the ent said my voice box was swollon . my family doctor said it was irritated nothing i couldnt have told them without the visits . anyway please has anyone gone through this ...if so what should i change ?

This is a question better asked in the Health, Safety and E-Smoking sub-forum. In the meantime, check out this thread.

Sounds to me like you may be allergic to pg or vg....

I'm allergic to raw carrots and find that my throat swells up when I swallow them...

Sounds like an allergy. It could be PG, VG or the flavoring. I suggest ordering plain, non-flavored juice in your preferred nicotine strength, in all PG, all VG and 50/50. Try each for a couple of days and see if you can narrow down the cause.

Vomitting is classic for nicotine OD. Hiccups are a 'precursor' to throwing up and is my 'early warning sign'. I'll get them if I vape 24mg. You might try all VG at 6mg nicotine but check out the health threads linked above for more info.

I agree this should be moved to the health forum. Questions I would ask are:

What flavors are you vaping? Cinnamon?
What %flavor is in the juices? I vape vg juices with PG flavorings, and >10% flavor will do similar things.
How controlled are you with vaping? In other words, are you getting significant amounts of 24 mg liquid in the mouth?
Are the juices "mostly" vg or all vg? As I said, even 10% PG is too much for me.
What is the PV? High wattage? LR attys/cartos? High heat can also do this in the throat.

Your 24 mg juice may not actually be that. Given my tests on liquids from several vendors, they are often >20% too high. Vomiting is generally a sign of too much nic, but it is actually pretty rare. People generally feel yuck and just put the PV down.

Good luck!
