I do have "chest tightness" when I vape a high VG liquid. I've found that if I keep it to 20% or less I'm ok.
What does this juice taste like?

The "oil" was quite possibly the VG? I know it can separate out in higher percentages so possibly even in lower as well given enough time/lack of agitation?
I plan on cutting out VG as well for a different reason. Glycerin when heated to over 280 degrees celcius decomposes into acrolein. Acrolein is an eye irritant, causes heart damage, and was used as a chemical weapon.
It's not good.
Now VG SHOULD atomize and vape off before hitting that temperature however I have concerns that a small volume in say a carto (if you've ever opened one you've reused you can see a quantity of "cooked in" material left in the plastic wool) that has been refilled a couple times could be near the heating element in them and if it gets dry the wire heats up. We've all seen glowing wires in dry attys. This would get within the temperature range needed to cook glycerin into a small quantity of acrolein.
Likely? I don't know. Is there any glycerin in that brown, cooked on gunk that builds up in atty's and cartos? Again. I don't know. Tests at 300 degrees apparently showed no acrolein in a device sensitive up to 1 part per trillion but still. I don't NEED clouds of vapor. It's an aesthetic. I'll skip it to forgo one possible, even slim, health risk.

Threw out the AC!!
You're making me cry here!! Next time you're tempted, go immediately to the swap thread or put it up for sale. Believe me there will be plenty of people willing to take it off your hands! (Or you could just send it directly to me!
)Since AC is made using cinnamon oil and being fresh made takes awhile for all the ingredients to meld together, it was probably the cinnamon oil you saw. Always allow time for TV juice to age (and blend together as it should/will) and a good shake doesn't hurt as well.
The answer is emphatically NO. VG is heavier and sinks to the bottom. I bought some all pg liquids and had to add VG for any vapor in my cheap equipment and it always goes to the bottom until mixed good.
TWolf, If I'd only known you like Atomic Cyanide so much I would never have poured it all out, drop by drop, ml by ml, ounce by ounce, into that sink hole. Took me a long time because there was soooo much!
quasimod, I sure didn't mean to lose a good friend!
