6 week blues...

[Wilf]

Hi vapers, i've lurked for a while but feel the need to ask you professionals a few questions.
After initially thinking that vapingis the best thing since sliced bread am now becoming quite disalusioned with the whole vaping experience. I lose throat hit after more than 3 or 4 tokes on my 18mg strength juices , my mouth feels as though it's coated in some kind of film and the tastes of the juices are very hit and miss. I've also developed a twitch in my left eye which i can say is definately linked to my vaping, a quick google tells me that it seems that this can be a side effect of vaping . I really want to keep vaping , because i've packed the rollies in and vaping is really helping me, but it's becoming more of a thing to be endured than enjoy. Have any of you experienced vapers come across any of these issues and if so how did you overcome them???
Cheers vapers....

Welcome to POTV Wilf, could be a reaction to pg, in which case maybe vg prominent juices may be better for you, also, what flavours are you into, or feel like trying? What batteries and atomizers are you using? I think everyone has there ups and downs with the vaping, as with many things, it can be a challenge sometimes to find the happy place, but it is a good thing to try to persist, just for the reason that, without being preachy, the down times on the smokes can be too dark.

That was quick.i'm using 80 20 pg vg, i think there is defo a link with my experience and the pg, maybe more vg base, but what about the throat hit would'nt i get less then with a vg base. I have a ego twist and vivi nova clearomisers . I thought that i liked fruity flavours but they all just taste yucky now and before that the tabacco flavours tasted yucky, i if can taste them at all. I had one that i've used up which seemed tobe th most consistant and that was a 50 50 mix, i don't think i can get that juice now though, it was grants vanilla custard...

Eye twitching is a common symptom of eye strain, I suffer from a disorder called occipital neuralgia which was diagnosed after having excruciating migraines and severe eye twitches.

There are three main side effects of PG and those are dry mouth, sore throat and increased thirst, however, as you said the eye twitch is not unheard of though, through some quick googling it would appear it may be linked to mineral/vitamin deficiency.

None of us here (as far as I know are Dr.'s but I could be wrong) so our advice is at best, from personal experience or found via online resources...so don't take any of this as absolute.

I would suggest taking a multi vitamin and if after a few days the twitch has not gone away, decrease the PG and increase the VG instead. If it still has not gone away, it could be something more serious and a consultation with your GP would be the best advice.

(The side your eye is twitching, on your face, it is not numb or tingly is it?)

How long have you been vaping?

 

[Markfletcher007]

We're you getting a good throat hit with the 50/50 GVC? Also how many ml are you Vaping a day ?

 

[ZT]

the GVC should be available again soon I reckon ...

I hope so .. Im running out!

May be worth trying a 24mg nic mix as well with a higher vg dose to keep the throat hit up....House of liquids do some great tobaccos in my opinion.
Garants Vanilla Custard is available on his own website, named after the product, sometimes he closes it for a few days to catch up on orders, but it is worth checking each day to see when it is available, which is often...Waves Of Vapour does some great sweet vapes too...
