juice side effects

[ragjoy]

where can i find a list of side effects from ecigs.
for the last 6 weeks (steadily getting worse) i have been getting itchy all over but mainly feet and hands,no rash or nothing,its like a gnat bite itch but with no other symptoms.
no one else in the house is getting it,we do have a dog thats been de-flead just in case and the downstairs is fully tiled so nothing in the carpets.
ive never had it before and im never been allergic to nothing.
ive tried to go through what it can be and the juice is the only thing i can think of.
anyone one else had this?.

Raggy, you may have an allergy to PG so it might be worth you trying VG only juices.

Not read the whole thread yet but may be some info here : -

But just to double check with you - what flea treatment are you using on your dog? So many of them just don't work any more & not everyone has a reaction to flea bites.

i cant remember the the flea treatment but its capsule type from the vet.
its not flea bites though im 99% certain of that there are no bites no red marks or nothing(im guessing they bite we have never had them before).
i can put a clean set of clothes on ie sock pants etc and within minutes i itch,its not soap powder i dont think as the backs of my hands also itch quite a bit.
i will have look at the link and see what it says.
any recommendations for VG juice,i love my golden virginia from george and will find it hard to find another flavour i like.

If you are getting the flea treatment from your vets (rather than the useless stuff the petshops sell) I also doubt the itching is due to fleas.

Our newest member, Jimmy paradisevape, can make up VG only juices. Check out his thread in our suppliers sub forum & his website (though no Virginia there at the moment)

Another seller of VG juice is Liberty flights : -

i just had a read of that thread about itching and it seems to be my problem,its not that bad,its sort of how you feel when a kid comes home with a nit letter,theres nothing there just an itch that seems to be in your head and not really there.
i will have to have a look into VG juice and go from there.

Poor Raggy I had the same reaction to a thyroid drug, but after a few days of itching with no visible cause I did see some little red marks. I had to come off the drug pronto and have radium therapy instead.

What a damn nuisance - do try a VG juice asap! I've got my fingers crossed for you.

im wondering if i buy full strength 36mg golden virginia double flavour from ok smokey will this be giving me less PG than say 24mg,i could then cut it with about a 1/3 VG (where do you get VG).
im assuming the higher the nico the lower the pg.
ragjoy.............

[Chrissie]

Raggy, I really doubt a higher nic level would make much difference to the PG content. However, cutting it with VG would make a difference of course.

Again, Liberty Flights sells VG base - 30ml's for £1,49
www.liberty-flights.co.uk/product.asp?id=55

Or you can buy a small bottle of glycerine from the baking section in most supermarkets for about 45p. Or a 100ml bottle of glycerine from most chemists for about £1.00

As you've been vaping for a while now Ragjoy, it seems odd you should suddenly start having a reaction. I've already started reacting to tree pollen so am on max strength, one-a-day Piriteze tablets already. To check that you actually have an allergy you could go the anti-histamine route - Intellicig also use VG in their juice and ENjuice have that option.

so is the bottle of baking glycerine i got from tesco VG then Chrissie?
i really (unless i have to) dont want to go through the whole find a new flavour routine id sooner try too modify what im using,although if i water down a 36mg with VG its not removing any of the PG is it,so in theory that wont work i suppose.

thanks foxy,
im weighing it all up at the minute,to see what way to go.
its a right royal pain in the backside,just when im comfy with my kit and juice.

[Chrissie]

Raggy, some brands of glycerine may be animal derived rather than vegetable, however, they won't contain any PG.

If you cut it with VG then no it won't actually remove any of the PG, but you will get less % PG per vape.

I was also thinking the same as Foxy, I'm surprised it's taken this long for an allergy to kick in. Added to that, PG is used in many everyday thins, from margarine to toothpaste & mouthwash & I'm guessing you aren't allergic to any of those items?

[ragjoy]

foxy,
you pointed out that it has took awhile for this to start,but it started around 6 weeks back just about the time i got my SD,so maybe the extra vape i now get is not helping.
i must say i can live with this for a while its not that bad just aggravating really.

I've been getting consistent headaches the last 3 weeks or so, may or not be related to e-juice but i've decided to experiment a bit. I didn't get them when i was using the standard 510 minis, just started when i got the SD/tornado, so maybe my intake has increased, not sure yet.

I'm going to try some of that VG from the chemist to cut my PG based liquids, also ordered some VG based flavours from Enjuice, it's a bit more expensive though, as their Valuevape is only available in PG.
