Do you vape heavy VG e-liquids or custards?

My guess would be the high VG and diacetyl/AP are the issue...

Please link Flim to using Custards.(diacetyl/AP)

You seem to ask this VERY OFTEN in e-liquid question threads.
Since awareness many Custard type mixes are diacetyl/AP free.

Seems like the common factor with these types of symptoms are high VG and or custards...
As we all know, there are no long term, peer reviewed studies...

Seems incorrect assumption to me as several you have asked were not Vaping Custards.......Fruit vape being one answer.

Possibility of Lung concern and collection Sinus drainage are not quite the same.
Drainage to the throat is commonly from the sinuses.

I just feel - What type of e-liquids are you vaping? - is more appropriate since you seem to not know (diacetyl/AP) from Custards. Variations abound.

I like to guess and be right...

I'm not sure about it, but is there anything to be said about your issue and a over saturated wick?

If the coil cannot heat efficiently and, say the extreme example of a flooded coil, you will find the vape to be very off. Sort of like some of the liquid being vaporized (aerosol, w/e you want to call it today) and some of it being partially vaporized due to too much liquid on the coil.

An easy way to see the differences of an over saturated wick and a well saturated wick is to add too much liquid to a RDA coil. You can hear the difference in the heating action too.

Would you say the vape is a little too "wet"?

This isn't much different than a Food Allergy. You don't Stop Eating, you just figure out what you can and cannot handle.;)

its not the hi VG... I do 100VG juice and no issues.... altho PG of 20% + in the mix reduces my sinuses and throat to a raw itchy mess...

BK, I think you might be sensitive to PG ... I vape 50/50 and only experience the sinus and throat discomfort you describe from cheap nicotine base ... 50% PG in my mix does nothing but enhance flavour for me.

I also experience similar results as the OP with high VG ... I best describe it as leaving a coating of VG in my throat.
