This might not be the best place to post this but don't know how many people will see it where i posted it:

Also want to add that. Because VG converts to sugar in the body diabetic people should be careful with there VG intake!

So about a month ago had blood test done that showed alt liver enzymes (caused by damage to liver). There can be a ton of causes for this. But one is to high of intake of sugar and VG converts to sugar in the body. I have been using around PG 20/80 VG mix 3+ ml per day (around 100 ml per month) for over 6 months. I plan to have my alt liver enzymes levels checked again in the next few days see it they have dropped back to normal. If they have not went back to normal. I plan to switch to as close to 100% pg as I can get then get tested again after a month or so.

Just wanted to but this warning out there. That to much vg may cause liver damage.
so if you are a heavy VG vaper like me. Next time you are at the doc may want to have a blood test to check for alt liver enzymes. Better safe than sorry right.

Well let me know if you have alt liver enzymes if you get checked and I'll update when I know more too!

Not trying to scare people away from e cigs or VG. It's just we are kinda the lab rats for e cigs. so we need to be on top of this stuff. Because if too much VG can cause liver damage. People can limit the amount of VG they intake and prevent this.

Also any thoughts on this are welcome too!

I would like to know what research you have based your findings on... other than your own experience??

We are inhaling the heated VG fumes/vapor, not ingesting it. And although I am not diabetic, I have been a Max VG user for for over 4 1/2 years with no change in any of my blood work levels!!

I would not jump to conclusions about VG causing your problems, and have your Doctor check for other sources. And I would definitely stay away from the high PG juices!!!

Best of Luck to you... :)

Type 2 diabetic here; been vaping for a little more than 3 years. Been vaping mostly 50/50 PG/VG, and some 30/70 liquids since I made the move to mechs. Just had a full physical about a month ago, and my doctor gave me a clean bill of health--no issues at all, as long as I stick to my smart diet and take my meds.
I plan to keep vaping away...:banana:

OP, your post is woefully inadequate. The evidence (or rather lack thereof) presented does not constitute a "warning" of any kind.

I really do not want to be rude, but there is more than enough misinformation out there to confuse the masses. If at all possible, let's not add to it.
