Tinnitus.

I've had buzzing in my ears for decades, but vaping PG made it much worse. It took a while to track down PG as the cause. I was surprised to learn that ENT doctors know about the PG causing/exacerbating tinnitus, and I've found several ECF'ers in the same boat.

After switching to VG nic base, it is back to the old level, or nearly so. It took 2-3 months. If I use too much PG-based flavoring, I have a fairly quick reaction, so I (DIY) vape with low flavoring and use non-PG flavorings when possible.

I to am experiencing the tinnitus symptoms from certain levels of PG. I find when I vape more then 50% or even 30% PG, my tinnitus suddenly becomes pronounced. As soon as the PG level is to high, it goes from years of it sitting in the background (hardly noticeable) to extreme and sensitive.

They aren't scientific facts, they are assumptions and mis-information that has been passed around via the internet, Vg needs a longer steep time, that is all. The flavours are still there, they don't magically vanish because of the carrier.

The carrier makes all the difference but you've already made up your mind and I refuse to debate this any further.

Very interesting! I have had tinnitus since I started vaping going on two years now. I always thought it was from the nic. I kinda got used to it but it is always there. My juice has been predominately 50/50 pg, vg. I am now going to experiment with lower pg and see how it goes. Thanks for posting this!
