Vaping Making my throat Sore :(

[sealover1]

Hi guys been back to vaping for few months now but I'm starting to get a sore throat and every few days have to ease off a bit even to the point of having the odd ciggy which is something I don't want to do.

getting my juice from paradise vape, I'm vaping 18mg royals VG and I'm vaping a riva wick is bout a week or so old so not to old

anyone got any tips?

does anyone else get sore throats or I'm I just the lucky one

Have you tried upping your water intake because vaping does dry the throat?

[sealover1]

yeh m8 I drink loads of water as off the booze as well lol

It's worth trying a different technique with vaping maybe Sealover . . . I don't vape as I smoked, I take a few chugs first then hold the vapour in my mouth for a few seconds before exhaling/taking some down.

If you're using a VV/VW device it's worth lowering what level you're at, to soften the hit on your throat as well.

yeh might try lowering down to next level mg see if that helps but shame as I do like the hit of the higher mg

When your sore throat is over you can always go back to higher mg

yeh that's got to be worth a try

Hhmm have got same problem just come off the phone going to see doc at 10.30 as feels like open wound in back of throat for 4 days now, im wondering weather vaping is hindering the healing process il let u know what doc says:)

I did get bit of sore throat a week or so after full time vaping, my cure was vaping on Boots VG diluted ofcourse with 10% Vodka wiyh no nic or flavours ( worked for me , VG is sold to ease cough/sore throat anyway). so have 2 attys on the go, one with normal e-juice & one with just diluted VG

[sealover1]

I have to have some sort of nic mg or Ill go bad to cigs lol

Could it be something to do with nickel wire in your coil? What set up are you using?

[sealover1]

erm no idea what's in there its a rebuild able clearo but don't see any wire in there

[googled]

The heat from vapour on top coils made my throat sore, I only ever use bottom coil devices where the vapour has time to cool down, bottom coil cartos(kanger)bottom coil genesis and evods. Lowering voltage or upping resistance will help too, never experienced any soreness from different nicotine strengths but it might be a combination of things.
I have a pretty low opinion of Paradise Vape juice for what it's worth, going back a couple of years - they just don't seem to be able to manage long term consistency.

I have got some different juice here so might give that a try to see if its any better

Please let us know how you get on as this problem, if vaping related, it should be easily fixable. I think everyone's given you a plan of action:

1. Try a different juice brand.
2. Increase the VG content of your juice.
3. Try a bottom coil clearomiser, like an EVOD.
4. If you get into building coils, build you own with kanthal instead of nickel wire. (every thing you put on top of a battery has coiled wire to heat your eliquid).

Good luck sealover1, keep on with it - you will find the right thing for you - you don't have to suffer. Now you've made such a great start, don't give up on it. And as the forum says, its the cigs you don't smoke that matters, not the ones you do.
