Strange sensation in the throat

And again I have to ask you for help . Two days ago I are mixed new DIY, today decided to try . 80 % glycerol 20 % propylene nicotine 3mg 0.8% Acai 0.4% Sweet cream. The taste turned out just wonderful, but when I vape I feel as if the fog settles in my throat and I start coughing . With other DIY this does not happen , although there is mixed in which there is up to 30 % of flavorings . This may be due to a combination of flavorings ? Maybe try adding 5-10 % distilled water ?
Thanks

5-10% water sounds like a lot - when I see water used it's normally at a couple percentage points to thin out max-VG liquids. But a heavy feeling in your chest is more indicative of a VG sensitivity - maybe try a 50/50 PG/VG blend next time and see if less VG helps out?

I try it, but all my mixes have more than 80% VG

Could it have been possible that you did not shake (or roll) your nicotine base bottle enough prior to adding the nic. to your mix? Not doing so could have caused a nicotine "hotspot" and provided far more nic. to your final mix than desired.

That would get me coughing....

Personally I do not recommend using water to thin juices unless one has a PG allergy or sensitivity. That said, I've had a similar experience with some max vg juices and thinned them with just a few percentages of pg.

That said, in my experience some flavors may not work for some people. I've had all sorts of differing problems over the years including with store bought juices (from reputable suppliers).
