Travis798 Posted December 7, 2009 Posted December 7, 2009 So for the past couple of weeks my mouth and throat have been getting pretty sore after vaping, even with drinking lots of water/brushing/mouthwash etc. I could feel everything get more sore the more I vaped, and if I quit vaping for even an hour I could feel it getting better. I have some VG juice on the way, but decided I didn't want to wait and keep smoking analogs until then. I decided to purchase some USP Glycerin and see if diluting my juice with it helped my soreness. I mixed it 1/4 Glycerin to 3/4 juice, and although it pretty much took away the taste of the juice, I've been vaping like a mad man for the past 2 hours (so much I drained a freshly charged spade batt in that 2 hours) and everything feels fine! I know it diluted the nic as well, I'm assuming with a 25%-75% mix it would turn my 36mg into 24mg, but it seems even lower to me. The good news is even getting smaller amounts of nic through vaping, the amounts that I am getting should keep me from smoking quite as much until my VG juice gets here! Anyway I was just excited that I can vape more again and thought I'd post. Plus I hear that we all get $20 spades and free juice for life once we gain access to the private forum, so I'm working on that as well!
SmokinHammer Posted December 7, 2009 Posted December 7, 2009 Actually, I think you've mixed it down to 27mg. (75% of 36) I'm glad to hear it's working out for you, because I was just thinking of picking up some VG tomorrow.

Lol well I figured I would say 24 for simplicity since 24 is common and 27 is not, and considering I just "eyeballed" it, it's just roughly somewhere in the ballpark. The Glycerin I got was at Wal-Mart and in the skin care isle. It's labeled Glycerin USP Skin Protectant. I feel safe using it as I've seen many threads hashing it out on ecf, with pharmacist and chemist involved, and according to them all Glycerin, USP is the same.
BirdDog Posted December 7, 2009 Posted December 7, 2009 I am glad that the glycerin may solve your problem. But please don't hesitate to see a doctor is the symptoms persist. I was bad and did a google search. Sorry.

I was bad and did a google search. Sorry. Oh I wouldn't hesitate, but it was pretty easy to see that the problems were vaping related. They started after vaping, got worse the more I vape, and got better the less I vape. If I went to a doctor over that, they would say well then, don't vape! And I would cry... lol. Honestly, it's all fine. There have been many reports of people experiencing the same symptoms I have because of vaping with a PG allergy. I'm almost 30 years old, and I've only ever known myself to be allergic to bees. It's about time I found something else!

You are allergic to only bees and PG? Wow. Bees and food have to be the worst allergies ever.
