I think that it is more likely to be the flavour concentrate that causes any irritation. Propylene glycol is used in asthma inhalers, and is not an irritant for the majority of people, it has undergone many more tests than VG with regards inhalation, hence why it is the preferred method of transport for lung medications. Of course some people have specific sensitivities, but in general pure pharma grade propylene glycol does not cause any throat irritation.

I vape pure PG e liquid all day and have never had any throat irritation, however on the whole I vape flavourless e liquid, so maybe that is what makes the difference, the flavourings in the e liquid.

I tried switching to a no nicotine e liquid for a bit, but I felt it myself. That was quite a while ago though and I only vape 8mg low strength now, so I might see what it is like again. Perhaps with a decent flavour that gave a bit of a throat hit, like menthol, it would be ok.

From what I have read about ncotine, its actual effects are pretty mild, I mean I remember that feeling after having one without for a bit when I was a smoker, but I dont get that any more when vaping, so maybe that was something else in the tobacco smoke did that, gave me that woozy feeling.

Its a mild stimulant, a bit like caffeine I believe, although it can also weirdly act as a relaxant, depending on the length of drag you take. Deep drags have a more relaxing effect, but that may be due to the extra oxygen inhaled i guess.

I feel your pain!



here are a few tips that may solve a few of the stumbling blocks..

1) Get in lots of batteries and a multi charger, so that you alwyas have plenty charged up and dont have to think about it too much.
2) If you dont like the flavours, try vaping flavourless e liquid. I do most of the day, its the nicotine and throat hit i really want, i can take or leave the flavourings.
3) get an e cig with a better battery life, i went from a mini e cig from totally wicked, to a titan mega, that has bigger bateries and bigger cartridge, made life easier. Am now in the market for the next step up, as there are some really long life batteries and cartos that hold much mroe e liquid available these days.


i know what you mean about the faff involved, but the ones you mentioned could probably be solved and the advantages over tobacco smoking are worth a bit of effort i reckon

good luck

I think I would do alot of dropping stuff and then be ducking under the desk for sneaky draws if i werent allowed to vape as i worked.

oo, sleek and shiny and i am luvvin that shade of pink!

Although I love the functionality of some of the latest e cigs with tanks and chunky longer life batteries, they are not exactly very feminine are they! These joytech ones are kinda pretty looking, so i like them, but i better check the battery life etc before i get tempted!

That is an excellent report, they have really put together all the facts and arguments for e cigs/ e liquid etc very coherently. I am really pleased to see this, it looks very hopeful that the legislation will stay in our favour, with the mentioned precedents that have been set by european courts, regards their not being classified as medical devices.

Thanks for the link!

If she was allergic to the PG in the vapour, she would have known it before you started vaping, as PG is contained in loads of random household stuff, food, lotions etc etc. So people with an allergy to PG would notice it quite early in life.

it could be something in a flavour I guess, you could try a different flavour and see if it makes a difference.

you could also buy her a gas mask perhaps, if she loves you she will wear it
