After 12 or so days of vaping only (no analogs), I apparently became allergic to PG. Yesterday, I vaped very heavily, all day, (was home from work). By the evening, my upper body was covered in hives. This morning, my left eye was half swollen shut, and my chest froze up when I went for my morning vape.

So now I'm back on analogs until my 100% VG juice arrives from Viking Vapors. Any other good 100% VG juices out there? I plan on getting some AVE Juices tomorrow when their ordering system opens back up.

Sigh.

I have some sensitivity to PG too. I haven't broken out in hives yet, but it makes my gums and tongue sore.

AVE VG juices have all been good for me. Madvapes has a few 100% VG juices in their topvapor line (and their other topvapor juices are around 80% VG).

Here is a thread where a lot of VG juice vendors get mentioned

Heh, I'm pretty much exclusively on 100% VG now with Boba's Bounty from AVE. After trying a ton of juices, it's far and away my favorite with a healthy dose of menthol drops (stuff goes a long way... I use a pretty hefty dose of 1 drop per ~2.5mls). I'd actually prefer some PG in there so it would feed better in tanks and not clog up attys, but they don't offer it that way.

My husband is allergic to PG. I bought him Copper Creek 100% VG. Still really flavorful, and the clouds of vapor are making me consider a switch to 100% VG! :laugh: He uses Boge 3ohm cartos in tanks with no wicking problems at all. He's not a heavy vaper though, which gives his cartos plenty of time to get wet again between vaping sessions.

Seriously though, I would recommend giving CC juice a try. Hope your new juice comes soon. :)

these guys have both Pg or VG juices and fast shipping E-Liquid and Electronic Cigarette Shop - Category Listings

when i started vapin back in august i was having some serious head spins from high ratio PG juices,so i vaped 100% VG for awhile
then i slowly started adding in more and more PG juice,,today i can vape 100% pg with no problems:rickroll:

you could also go to walmart,walgreens are something like those and get some usp grade glycerin and mix with the juices you have,
until you can get more ordered in :blush:

Over the edge...
shorty, sorry to hear that. It took months for PG to do a job on me. I started ITCHING! Mouth, throat, skin, scalp. I asked about it in a post here on ECF and some GENIUS (I really wish I could remember who) recommended switching to 100% VG, so I did. Thank you, whoever you are. Got my new juice in two days and a week later the itching was gone. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I can now vape a very little PG but not often. Some of my favorite flavors are high PG so I will drip a few drops, enjoy the flavor and go right back to the VG juice. One of my pet peeves was that these stupid vendors wouldn't offer their juices in both PG and VG and let the customer choose what ratio they wanted it in. After talking to several I found out that most can't. Much respect to those that can't. Some flavorings contain PG. Good luck to you, shorty. Keep looking, communicate with the vendors. If they won't tell you what the ratio is in their juice, move on. I hope you can find several that work for you like I have. Congrats on 12 days.
