Any ill effects?

[tigerlilly]

I started to feel a bit peculiar yesterday - well, more peculiar than normal, and wondered if I had vaped a bit too much? Is this possible? Anyone else had any weird symptoms ever? I actually feel as though I have an invisible hand on my throat, gently squeezing and oddly, feel the same sort of thing on my nose  ??? Tbh I feel a bit crook and was coughing in bed last night. (Haven't coughed for weeks!) I feel just a tad p*ssed off too, because everything was going so well and I've be so chuffed with everything. It may not be anything to do with vaping, of course, it maybe this coldy thing that is going around, but the sensations are very odd and not anything that I've experienced before. 


Anyone else had any odd things happen, or is it just me?

It could be a sensitivity to one of the ingredients in your juice - PG is the usual allergy. Of course it could be nothing to do with vaping as you say.

Do you gave a VG heavy juice you can try to see if it calms your throat down?

I felt light headed and a bit sick last week, I think from vaping to much and had a sore throat when I first started vaping from too high a PG level and not drinking enough water.

Today all my juices taste like soap

Hope you feel better soon

Thanks Kiwi and Ionian. Looks like maybe the PG thing...I don't know the level of PG in the liquid I'm vaping - it's the Hangsen gold and silver 24mg...I had better toddle off and find out about the PG % . It does feel like an allergy thing - not a typical sore throat, but feels like my throat is closing up - same with nose. No soreness...very odd. But thanks guys.

Kiwi - hope you feel better soon too. Soap tasting vapes - ewwww

Hangsen liquids are 80% PG - it's certainly a possibility that you've developed a small intolerance to it. I don't know much about tobacco flavours, but others may be able to suggest some suitable alternatives that can be bought with a higher VG ratio.

Oh thanks so much for that. Bugger! I've just received my latest order of the Hangsen...

Hopefully someone could recommend another tobacco flavour with a higher VG or maybe I could write another post?  I'm still very new at all this - did you guess??
Anyway thanks again for your help.

I get all my juice from JooseJuice, you can chose the PG/VG ratio, I use 50/50 and normally (apart from my soapy taste buds today but having a day on menthol juice, normally sorts it!!) find it great, sorry I don't use the tobacco flavours so can't recommend any but they do cheap 10ml bottles so you can have a try before ordering bigger bottles. (buy one get one free on 30ml bottles)

Joosejuice do a lovely tobbaccoish flavour called black gold and they will mix to your prefered strength and PG/VG ratio. Their highest ratio for VG is 70% with 30% PG which comes mostly from the flavouring i presume. Their 30mls are BOGOF

it may just be you've overdone the vaping, especially on 24mg juice.... too much nic can make you feel like that...

[Debbie13]

I also have to lower the nic strength when vaping .....especially when you find a good sweet flavor and cannot keep away from it
Try a lower nic and see if that helps...

[tigerlilly]

Thanks for all the help and suggestions. Stupidly, since I posted, I've started to feel a bit better Still I'm armed with some good advice now, so I'll plod on and see how it goes. Thank you!!

Hi tigerlilly - I sometimes get headaches when I'm vaping like a trooper, I get so engrossed in something I don't realise how much I've vapped, so I drink some water and leave it alone for an hour or so and it soon passes.....

If you want to add more VG to your mix (to not waste it)....get someone on here to do the calcs and like get your VG (called value glycerine) from boots. Just add that...should cost no more than about £1.50 a bottle....

Might help?

[tigerlilly]

Thanks Jane. You've just cleared up another 'wonder' of mine. I thought VG meant vegetable Glycerine Ok so I've just bought a 30ml bottle of my fave juice and I need to work out how to mix in some more VG...?

Oh I hope someone in the know can help me here. I haven't got a clue with all this methodolgy and mixology Onwards and upwards, then!
