Here's Hoping Glycerin Is Right For Me!

[Travis798]

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!

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.

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.

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!

Oh good! I was worried there for a minute. You are allergic to only bees and PG? Wow. Bees and food have to be the worst allergies ever.
