Hello and help about juice please :)

[claire]

Hi,

I stopped smoking a year and a half ago and it's been the worst year and a half of my life! .. Depression, weight gain etc etc

Anyway to shorten this story I bought baccy again but it knocked me sick .. so bought a disposable ecig, then moved onto to a rechargable one ... I'm loving it! Ecigs have moved on! .. I did join chrissies ebay group about 3 or 4 years ago and bought one back then ... all I can say is things have massively improved since then!

My question is though ... I feel like someones pressing my throat with their thumb .. Its not painful, just annoying, I'm wondering if it could be a small allergy to the juice? ... and if I should try vege juice ... and if so, where would I get it? Thanks

Hello & Claire. I'm a bit too inexperienced to answer your question but I'm sure someone will soon.

Hello and claire.

You could try a high or 100% vg juice, Liberty flights have a fairly wide selection of 100% vg ready mades.

What level of nicotine are you on atm? That might have something to do with it too.

I react weird to some of the flavours, I think it is one of the sweeteners but I have never narrowed it down, I just avoid anything I react to. I mix my own which makes it really easy to mess with things like vg/pg ratios and nic levels very cheaply.

I hope you get it sorted soon, and welcome to the forum

Wow I take my hat off to you, I could never have given up without vaping so on that side. I hope you manage to sort out the throat...it may be worth changing your juice ratio or even vaping Menthol juice for a while. Paradisevapeuk have some gentle juices. Myself and two friends have had various problems but all 3 of us tried his lemon/menthol and problems disappeared. May be worth a go

Well done on stopping the fags . If I was you I'd go to docs just to have it checked out

[Chrissie]

Hello & welcome Claire - glad you have found us again

Yes e-cigs have improved so much since 4 years ago. Which one have you gone for & which juice are you using at the moment?

Hello and welcome.

If it's right at the bottom of your Trachea in the depression between your clavicles I would say too high on the nicotine maybe.

That's what I used to get after a hard night out and too many smokes.

PG would be the next likely suspect.

Ohhh replies

I stopped the cigs after reading allen carrs easyway to stop smoking .. it was good in the fact it really made me want to stop, in fact it kind of brainwashed me into stopping ... but the 'easy' way bypassed me .. it's been a long hard slog, Weirdly I was gutted when I finally caved in and bought baccy but couldn't smoke cos of the sick feeling it gave me ... I'd always said if I have one cig I'd defo start again ... but I forced 5 and couldn't do it lol

I've got an ezvape-t ecig and amber leaf flavoured juice (cos thats what I used to smoke)

So looks like experimenting is the key then? .. I don't think I could mix my own yet ... not confident enough and I don't want to break my precious ecig

I'll have a look at the places you've given .. I had a look on totally wicked site and couldn't find any vg juice .. none on the ezvape site either .. so thanks for the names of places

Hi claire. Welcome to aaec. Another place to consider is
www.vapology.co.uk/tailor-made-e-liquid-2252-p.asp as you can tailor make each part of your juice. Kind of like mixing your own juice but without the hassle. You can mix flavours too. His raspberry is gorgeous.

Welcome to you Claire.

You could also buy a small bottle of Vegetable Glycerin from the Supermarket, normally found in the baking aisle as it's used in Royal icing, to dilute your existing eliquid down a bit, see if that helps.

Though you will lose some flavour and nicotine strength by doing that.

Hello and claire

[Chrissie]

Claire, also have a look at Joose-juice's - 10 ml tasters for only £1.49 & a good choice of VG/PG mixes -

Hi Claire, Welcome a lot of good advice already given.
I would go with your thought's and give VG only juice
a try and see if that help's,

[VaperBenUK]

That could just be a side effect of starting to vape, I had sore throats and tickly throats/mouth for a few days but soon got used to it.

Perhaps start to use a Lower Strength of nicotine with your liquids, I have 11mg normally and I find that the perfect balance of throat hit and flavour, or if I'm in an all day vape mood I will get around the 5mg mark

Hope that you're enjoying vaping, & your side effects have stopped.

All the best
