Flavourings that don't agree..

[BeOne]

Not sure if this belongs here or in the mixology forum since DIYers will know exactly what's in their juice. So apologies if it's the wrong place.

Following on from a previous post I saw I was wondering what flavourings just don't agree with you? Such as a coughing fit with coconut.

I ran out of watermelon and used honeydew melon instead and I've been experiencing a real itchy face with it. Particularly round my beard area...top lip and chin.

Nothing else has changed: same mod, tank, coils, nicotine and level, same pg and vg dilutant and in the same ratios. Switched over to a Heisenblag for a day and it disappeared. Went back to my own juice today and itchy again.

Anyone had any adverse effects like this with particular flavourings?

I used to get mouth ulcers with Tasty Vapors "atomic cinnacide" e-liquid, when I first started vaping. (They cleared up whenever I stopped using this particular e-liquid)

(Having just visited their site, I see that they have "retired" this popular e-liquid over a year ago due to the high levels of cinnamon flavouring used in its production).

I get mouth ulcers from to much red astaire which is a shame as I love that juice, I just use it frequently now

I tried a lot of flavours from a manufacturer that sells liquid for one pound
Every one of the high vg I tried, made me cough

The rhubarb and custard has given me a life long fear of rhubarb and custard

Like Dave . . . . I can't use anything that has an ' atomic ' type cinnamon flavour in it without getting a very sore mouth and tongue - although that's a fairly well documented intolerance.

tsoko had problems with all of the Flavourarts range he tried - so there's obviously ingredients in some flavourings, whether they're used in DIY or pre-made that just don't agree with us all.

Which you don't of course find out until you try them.

Hmmm I haven't noticed any reactions to flavours yet but I'll definitely keep this in mind.
Thanks for the heads up

Same for me too   It's a crying shame.

I'm in the same boat, so far I've had no adverse reaction to anything I've tried, but I think it's because I don't have any allergies that I know of.

I found Koolada can cause a tickly cough at 2% for me.

Thanks for all your replies and I'm glad it's not just me.

For the record it's Capella Honeydew Melon at a mere 3%. Wonder if some ingredients react with others to give an adverse reaction.

Think I'll play with various % of honeydew to see if it happens on its own.

Oh dear
I've got some Honeydewwey steeping.
Hope I don't get affected

Wow....glad I found this post, I'm sitting here with a mouth full of ulcers, so bad that I haven't been able to eat for two days ! I never for a minute thought that vaping might be responsible for it. Trouble is I change my juice every tank...so how can I find out which one is responsible ?
I hope my mouth clears up soon, I've spent about 200 quid on bonjella !!! lol

I do think that I make my juices too strong (normally 15% to 20% flavours) I will try lowering the amount to about 10% and see if that helps.
Regards Dave.

15-20% is quite standard with most concentrates. Some need to be lowered though, but you need to tell us which brand you are using.

EFA I mean 15-20% total concentrate mix, so, if the recipe has four flavours, the total is 15-20%
