What's making me cough?!

[AdamSon]

I'm SO frustrated with this, I've mixed up some vanilla custard with Capella flavours, first mix was 50/50 PG VG, 6mg, which is what I vape normaly anyway, the inhale is fine, but exhale tickles my throat and makes me cough pretty bad. Then I tried 70/30 PG VG which made it worse, I know PG affects some people, but the reason I tried more pg was because I can't vape banana cream from apollo which is high VG. Then I tried a 60/40 VG PG and I still can't vape properly without coughing like crazy!

Its only on the exhale, inhale is fine, and it's driving me crazy trying to work out what it is!

I've also ran out of vanilla custard concentrate so I can't try a 100% VG.

Any input would be great.

Are you drinking plenty while vaping ? sounds daft but a few drops of water might make all the difference,

How long have you been vaping?

4-12 weeks your lungs are healiing and clearing out all the gross shit from smoking, plus your lungs little tiny hairs called cilia are growing back....definitely drink more water!

I've been vaping for just over 5 month, and I drink loads of water. It's something else, I can vape other juices just fine, even 70/30 PG VG.

But this gets my throat on the exhale, it's not as bad today so either I'm getting used to it or it's because the ingredients are a bit harsh when first mixed. I have 30ml sitting in my blending box which I will try after a week.

Its really got me stumped this one.

it could be just the flavour.

i vape the same 80-20 mix usually and at 12mg

some really scratch my throat others do not.

What percentage of flavouring are you using in your mix?

 

[AdamSon]

I used 15% custard and 2% DDL (guess what I'm making)

Banana flavour did this to me on fresh juice left it with cap off for a few days then steeped longer letting the strong flavour evaporate a bit made all the difference to me still nice flavour but not harsh

Are you letting the juice steep before vaping it? VC needs more steeping than most: some people say three weeks minimum, but I'd leave it longer than that. I'm just starting to get into a bottle of VC I mixed before Xmas...
