water

Ok I have been drinking enough water to float a ship. Throat scrahy starting two days ago did some mad vaping when new juice arrived. Yes iam drinking water.

E-Liquid higher in PG will do that to me.

Slow down on the chain vaping. You might consider changing juices or getting a higher nicotine level and vaping less. Some juices will cause throat irritation and chain vaping just adds to this problem.

I wish I could get all my favourite flavours in 100% VG. High PG makes me wheeze and hurts my throat too.

I have been vaping nasty China made juice. Only thing in town. Now good juice and throat closing., iam in the bathroom more then iam vaping. drinking so much water . I didn't vape much yesterday . but the day before I did. it was great just to get some good tasting juice and a even level of nic that was not making my head spin . had some candy yesterday hopefully it will get better good tobacco juice .

Would the flavor change anything? I bought 3 different flavors 16mg.

Citrusy/fruity flavors irritate my throat more than dessert flavors given the same blend and nicotine content.

A lot of the throat irritation will come from high nic levels as well. I figured out very quickly when i first started vaping that i did not need as high a level as i expected. Try a lower level and see if that helps.

Found the same lowered my Nic level and higher percentage of VG in my juice helps. I sing for a living and its been months since I've had throat irritation.

What is the pg/vg ratio of your eliquid? You may have to go down a little with the pg and up a little with the vg.

I have found that pg really can aggravate my throat and also some nicotine in some different brand liquids.

70pg/30vg house blend from vendor . I really didn't want to order more juice so fast . cough drop helped some .

 

[mikie18]

If you try it the other way round 70vg 30pg should help the old throat tickle. I've found Coke(the drink)helped clear n soothe mine

"Throat closing" could be allergic reaction. Some folks have problems with PG or VG. You could try 100% one then the other! see if the problem is less.

"High" nicotine varies a lot between folks. I was a 2 pack a day smoker, you'd think I'd vape at a fairly high level. I don't. 9mg on average. 12mg max. Some folks like "throat hit". I don't. Not even when I smoked. I preferred a "smooth" thing. You could try cutting your nic way down. See what that does.

Also, you didn't say if you switched recently. Often, quitting smoking causes a scratchy or even sore throat. That seems backwards but it happens to some no matter which method they use to quit.

Finally, it is always possible you're getting plain, old sick and it's coincidence. The vaping may have nothing to do with it. I dunno about your area but allergy season down here is pretty freaking bad lately. "Somebody just bury me already" bad.

Come to think, we lived a couple of years in MO a bit outside St. Louis when I was a kid. I remember having killer allergies there. Like a freaking flu or something...

I have been vaping for 3 weeks . this week I have cut my cig intake down to about 4 a day compared to 10 or so and just vaping at work . I think the nic level is ok . I was using china made 2.1% I think that is 21mg and my head was floating . I will have to try different levels of pg vg . its just a downer that I have 3 bottles of juice that taste good but it took a week to arrive.

 

[mkbilbo]

Don't ignore the possibility you're actually plain old sick and need a doctor. Sometimes, two things happening about the same time are just coincidence. Vaping may not have anything to do with it...

Never used water in my mix...no problem.

For me the 100% VG is no bueno. Makes me cough and wheeze at night. The 50/50 seems to be best for me. Also I am noticing week by week my nic need level is going down. There is some interesting research out of the University of Berlin that suggest Nicotine itself is not very addictive. The MAOI's (antidepressant) naturally found in tobacco has been condensed and sprayed on our cigs by BIG TOBACCO under the guise of "flavor additive". Anyway change up your blends, lower your nic level. Do some experimenting. Make a log and chart your juice over a 2-3 day time then change 1 variable and chart again for 2-3 days. In a few weeks you will have found your "sweet spot"

A week or so in to vaping, and my throat was pretty scratchy and not feeling all that good as well. It wound up be the precursor of my lungs clearing themselves of all the gunk I put into them from years of smoking. Shortly after, I started coughing up black specks of tar. Once I was done, my throat felt fine.

 

[clayU]

feel much better today . I think it was from chain vaping a few days ago . I just used cough drops
