PG vs VG

[Adam Paseman]

Hello,

Vaping has seemed to cause me to produce a lot of phlem. I do not remember this to be the case when I first started. Recently I read someone post about how VG causes them to feel like they have pneumonia, and I started thinking maybe VG causes me the same...out of breath/phlem build up.

So, anybody have experience with VG causing more phlem than PG? Unfortunatly all my juice I have is high VG, but if by chance going to a higher PG to VG ratio would reduce the phlem production for me I would change and go to PG as my choice.

70% VG is all I can take. Anything higher, and it feels heavy in my lungs. Flavor tastes better too.

I'm a high PG vaper because of the feeling I get from anything over 30 VG, can't tolerate it. Heavy chest, coughing... can't say I got the phlegm from it, but definitely out of breath and miserable. Try experimenting with ratios.

I went 100% vg when I realized I was sensitive to PG....100% VG made me feel like I had water in my lungs...I vape about 80%-75% VG now.

Yes throat phlegm/mucus happened to me with high VG. I vaped for 7 years with high PG and had no issue. I also smoked for 20 years with no issue either. But as soon as l went to 70VG l noticed the throat mucus. By reducing the air flow and lowering my watts so now l draw on my device more like one would smoke a cigarette, the problem resolved. But if l go higher then 70VG with the same set up, then the throat mucus is back and breathing is not as passive as it should be.

Guess im gonna go heavy on PG because i swear ive been more out of breath with vaping than with smoking!

Well, now vaping 60/40 pg/vg and my lungs definitely feel better, but my throat feels a bit scratchy. Guess i got to pick my poison lol

I actually had the opposite problem :/

PG/VG 50/50 mixes made my lungs feel real constricted to a point where I could not breathe heavily and could not vape a good 30 minutes - 1 hr before running or exercising, also had stomach aches and scratchy throat from too much PG but that might have also been because of the nicotine because I was forced to buy higher nic + PG a couple of times.

Usually vape 80 - 100 VG and lungs do tend to feel heavy (not constricted like PG just a slight more effort to breathe) if I vape too much, recently switched to VG 80/20 and do get phlegm from time to time (could just be the air) but lungs don't feel as heavy

P.S Vaping and trekking at mid-highish altitudes no matter the mix kinda sucks, tried both
