I've been using an Innokin ego style starter kit for about 2 months. Yesterday, I got an MVP 2. I'm using the same liquid, from a local vape shop. It's the same bottle I've been using for a week or so. It's 100% VG.

Today, I'm wheezing. What am I doing wrong? Thanks

Try Decreasing the Voltage Slightly. You might have the Voltage up a Little High.

I dunno, could be a myriad of things. Do you suffer from allergies? Is there any particular reason you went with 100%VG? Tanks and pure VG don't get along well. What Ω coil do you have in there? Where do you have your volts or watts set? Are you taking mouth or lung hits? What was your previous setup?

No allergies. The local shop only sells 100% VG and that's what I started with 2 months ago. My new tank's ohms are 1.8. The "P" button is set at 6.5. I think I'm taking lung hits. My old set up was an Innokin ego style with a bottom coil tank, I don't know the ohms of that one, it's not marked except for "Smok". Thanks.

If you put your tank on the MVP and hold both buttons down at once, it will tell you the Ω's of your tank and remaining volts of your batt. If you are drawing straight into your lungs, that's a lung hit. If you are sucking in with your cheeks and then into your lungs, that's a mouth hit. Whichever one you re doing, try the other. I've never heard of a shop that didn't have some PG on hand. Must be some bland juice.

When holding both buttons, it says 1.8 and 4.

I asked the shop why they only carry 100% VG. I was told it's "more organic". I do have other juice ordered from Mt. Baker that's a 50/50 blend, but it won't be here until Tuesday. I suppose I can go back to the ego set up until it arrives and I can try it.

If you are an ex smoker and I assume you are, it may not have anything to do with the juice, equipment used but more of a result of not smoking. The body will go through a period of time adjusting and it could mean a period of wheezing, coughing, sneezing and a myriad of other symptoms. Even if it only surfaced recently may just be that, a physical response to a new foreign substance, or the lack of the former substance used.

Then again, it may be from the juice used.....OK.... I will give an example in a totally different field...medicines.... Some meds take a few days to remedy the illness or show signs of an allergy to said meds being used. This may be one of the same things going on or none at all. So it truly is a trial by experience, wait and see what happens sort of thing here going on here.

OK ....returning back to the Anti/Pro Provari thread going on....I just stopped in here while making popcorn and getting a beverage.:D

The "P" button is set at 6.5. My tank ohms are 1.8. And I'm confused :)

I'm not Positive, but on some VV/VW APV's, a "P" stand for Power(Watts). And a "V" Stands for Volts. But it Really Doesn't matter what Stands for What.

I would just see what happens when you make the "P" Smaller.

Right time of year for potential allergies to show up. It did on me the first year vaping. "Smoker's cough" mysteriously reappeared. I've been vaping long enough now to know its just the time of year. I'm going through it again now and it will last until October or November. When smoking is stopped or decreased, ailments that were erroneously attributed to it begin to appear. Its just another benefit of vaping because those "masked" medical problems can now be dealt with effectively.

I already answered you earlier, but I forgot to ask you why tanks and pure VG aren't a good thing? Thanks again

I endorse what Panorama911 says.

How long have you been off the analogues?

I brought up some horrible filth from my lungs for nearly three months after stopping the cigarettes, and it eventually went watery until it stopped after about five months.

It could be your lungs purging a lot of years of abuse.

In any case, see your Doctor.
