Phlegmy throat

[Tots88]

I have been vaping for a month now and have constantly had a phlegmy throat and sometimes my throat feels quite tight. I started using 70/30 pg/vg and now am using 80/20. Why is this?

Are you drinking plenty of water? PG and VG dehydrate you more than you realise. Aim to drink at least four pints of water etc over a day. If nothing else it will help to make sure your phlegm doesn't get sticky - and makes it easier to "get rid of". Nice!

It could be a multiple of things first of all you are now between 3000-4000 less chemicals going down your lungs and the body has to repair itself hence mukus also it could be that your sensitive to PG so maybe try a higher VG juice, the other thing and i'm no doctor so would say seek medical attention you may have a throat infection. It's so hard to know exactly why and we all have different reactions to giving up the straights, also as above you need to increase water intake when vape as it causes dehydration.

I can get a bit phlegmy if I don't drink enough fluids whilst vaping.

Cheers. I ordered a 50/50 juice from vapingking the other day so will hopefully come tomorrow or Tuesday. I have noticed the dehydration but I suppose I haven't really been consuming any more water than before. I will keep an eye on it
