Vg Side Effects?

[MissVapor]

I've been exclusively vaping wiltons glycerine and flavoring (no nic) for the past month.

I got a cold 2weeks ago and it went away but now I've been dealing with nasal congestion/infection still...

Does vaping VG cause nasal problems for you? I took a day off of vaping to see if it would clear up and so far feels a bit better but wanted to get some feedback..

The only other side effect I have is dry mouth..

What brand VG do you use? What side effects do you have?

Ive been cutting my 24mg pg juice with NOW vg(100% pure) at a 50/50 mix for about a week now and so far no bad effects. Stuff is cheap too, bout $5 for 16oz, it will last a very long time.

 

[MissVapor]

Yeah, I was thinking of getting some of that at the health food store near me..I didn't have my nasal problems until about 3 weeks into using VG though..(still could be just from leftover cold?)

I'm trying out some Ecopure VG-based flavors now. They do not seem to be as drying as PG, but they are consistently making me sneeze. I haven't seen anybody else mention this, so I'm going to do some comparison testing.

I've found that cutting with more than a few drops of VG irritated my nose/sinuses, so I only use PG now and maybe just a drop or 2 of VG in 1 mL mixture if there is a need to use it (like for thickness or vapor).

 

[MissVapor]

Ok, so there ARE a few others with some nasal issues ..this is my 2nd day without VG and my sinuses feel much better today..I am going to introduce the VG again soon and see what happens..

 

[bearscreek]

Yeah, that was about 2 months or more ago, and since then, I haven't had irritated sinus yet. That was when I had used about 25-30% VG in a mixture, but at the time, the VG seemed a bit easier for me to get, so I had planned to cut juice with it instead of PG.

None, nadda, zippo, zilch!

I usually use a 3 to 2 ratio of PG/VG + everclear + flavor + menthol crystals.

The pure VG + flavor + menthol didn't work for me.

Have you sniffed the menthol crystals? 8-o

I use 50/50 PG/VG and don't have a problem. But as some people can not do PG, you might not be able to do VG. Just a thought. Do some testing is the only way I can say to find out.

No, I can't tolerate PG...What Brand of VG do you use?

 

[MissVapor]

Ok, I just picked up NOW VG 100% pure USP/food grade..will try mixing it with water and flavoring and see if its any better..

 

[Hangtime]

Hope that works for you. If it does that 16oz bottle will last a very long time.

They threw in a lemongrass sampler with my order, too! 8-o
Very tasty with chicken, cooked in my pressure cker!

Man...20 mins of thenew VG and im all stuffed up again!! This really sucks b/c it is the cheapest method...Ughh..

PG causes too many problems and the only option I have left is PEG which hasn't caused me much trouble at all..It just sucks ..b/c there is only a couple of suppliers of PEG..

Oh well..at least I have something..b/c I swore to myself I would NEVER go back to cigarettes!

I just ordered a couple bottles of my favorite PEG..and one of them has a mellow flavor so I can add my special flavorings to it..

Thanks for the responses guys!

I couldn't say if its the VG or good ole allergies that are making me sneeze and such lately! Its been harvest season , along with a very wet spring, so everything is pollinating and such I do get a dry throat from vaping the VG, but like the idea of a vegi based juice, sounds healthier after all this stuff the FDA has been touting is in our juice LOL BTW...I was wondering why their is so many other chemicals added to the juice ?? I can see PG and/or VG , nic and flavorings...but what with the rest of the stuff? Is it from the Flavorings or what?? LOL Just wondering......

for the past month ive been doing straight vg (now brand) with a little lorrans and/or menthol.

Ive been vaping like a volcano on my box mod RN4081 atty (still going strong). Nothing but clouds of long lasting vapor and the vg really carries the flavor well.

No side effects, just feeling like a million bucks every time

I use the same brand you mentioned in your first post and I have no problems. PG on the other hand gives me a very bad runny nose that no medicine will get rid of.

MissVapor, what are your problems with PG?

 

[MissVapor]

Well Ive been off of the VG for about 5 days now..and my sinuses are finally back to normal.. It does make you wonder though.. If your vaping a sticky substance which leaves residue behind in nasal cavities and throat..what is it doing to your lung tissue? Seems like it would be similar to tar..

I really wish I couldve kept using VG b/c it tastes so much better and its convenient..
