VG Max or flavor making me sick?

What do you guys think? I just started vaping a few weeks ago. Been using no nic cartos from Prime Vapor. Mostly the Triple Mint. Had no problems. Then I decided to order my own cartos & juice. Ordered from MTBaker & got 0 Nic, VG Max Peanutbutter Cup & also Extreme Ice. Well, I started vaping the Peanutbutter Cup on Wednesday, but not too much & a little of the Extreme Mint. Then yesterday I vaped the Peanutbutter Cup a lot. Especially last evening. In the afternoon my throat started feeling like I might be getting a cold. Not a sore throat just that post nasal drip feel. Then when I got up this morning my nose was running like crazy & my throat felt irritated. So I vaped my Triple Mint cartos from Prime Vapor with my morning coffee & felt ok. But then I went shopping & vaped the Peanutbutter Cup in the car & on the way home my nose was running down my throat & it was making me cough horribly. My nose isn't running as much now but my throat still feels irritated. I haven't vaped in about and hour & 15 minutes. Do you think it's the Max VG? Should I add distilled water to my cartos & if so how many drops? Or could it be the flavor? I sure hope it's not the flavor & I want to use VG only. Thanks in advance.

Are you drinking a lot more water than usual? If not, I would start there. Vaping is very dehydrating and most need to up their h2o intake. I'm not saying you aren't experiencing something else, but that's the first thing I'd rule out.

Yes, I forgot to mention that. I drink water throughout the day. The only thing I drink is a 10oz. cup of coffee in the morning & then in the afternoon and water thoughout the day & evening. That's all. So I'm pretty sure that's not it. Thanks for your reply.

I stay around 70pg/30vg. Any higher with vg gets me sick. For some...higher pg gets the sick.

I'm trying to stick with VG, so I guess I'll add distilled water to it. I just don't want it to dilute the flavor.

Ok, so I'm pretty sure it's the Peanutbutter Cup flavor that's bothering me. I stopped vaping it at 2:00 p.m. this afternoon & it is now 10:00 p.m. & my nose is pretty clear now & my throat feels better. I've vaped the Extreme Mint a bit & it hasn't bothered me at all. Man, I'm really bummed because I love the Peanutbutter Cup so much!! I'm gonna lay off of it til tomorrow afternoon & then try again & see what happens, but I'm pretty sure that's the culprit. I'm gonna try not to chain vape it, but it just tastes so good!
