I started vaping about three months ago. I have tinnitus (constant ringing in the ears -- mine's caused by sustained exposure to loud noise from a few decades of being rock bands and a few years in the army carrying an M60 machine gun. Anyway...). My ringing "volume" has increased since beginning to vape. I started out dragging on 50vg/50pg juice and noticed the increase. Did some research and an increase in tinnitus has been linked to mild nicotine overdose and to the presence of PG in eliquids. I've been through a 30ml bottle each of 60/40, 70/30, 80/20, and maxVG (all at 3mg nic strength)... and noticed the ringing lessening but still "louder" than before I started to vape. To completely rule out either nic overuse or PG, I just spent a terrible (flavorless) 10 days vaping 100%VG (added some distilled water to deal with viscosity issues but no nic, no flavorants) and my tinnitus dropped back to pre-vaping levels.
I know that most flavorants use PG, as it is an excellent carrier of flavor. I also know that some vendors claims of 100%VG liquids really means 100%VG except for the 10-20% PG based flavorants (which just makes these maxVG, yes? ... gotta love marketing!).
I want to DIY my own 100% vg juices. Can anyone recommend flavor vendors, or home-made procedures to make your own flavorants that truly contain 0% PG?
***please type loudly, so i can hear you over the ringing!
