I've vaped it all... lolOkay, do you buy name brand or house juice?
I was just hospitalized with pneumonia. I haven't vaped in 9 days. Is it a possibility that my Vape and juice gave me Pneumonia?
When I had the flu vaping did not make it better or worse however I was much too sick to do much vaping in any case.

I dunno. High VG juice causes vg to collect in my respiratory system. Pneumonia is fluid collecting in lungs....I was just hospitalized with pneumonia. I haven't vaped in 9 days. Is it a possibility that my Vape and juice gave me Pneumonia?
Andria has it right.Pneumonia is caused by a bacterium or a virus. Saying that vaping gave it to you is like saying that getting cold gave you a cold or flu.
On the other hand... have you let someone with pneumonia vape on your mod with your driptip? That's the only possible way that "vaping gave it to you". And I'm not even sure that would work, since PG is anti-microbial.

Vaping 60% Vg and less I have not had any problems, but if I go over 60% VG I develop a hacking cough and hack up vg.
also if you have respiratory issues such as COPD I would be leery of high VG.
I have only had 2 colds in 2.5 years of vaping vs at least 2 per year and more when smoking.
In ANY case hope you get better soon.
True. This from the ALA:That's what I was thinking; high VG to a person with pneumonia sounds like a terrible idea. That shit is so thick, when I tried to vape 67PG/33VG, I could *feel* that shit inside my lungs, it felt like a hairball I couldn't cough up at all, and that night, got woken with one of the worst asthma attacks I've had in YEARS.
But not even high VG would *cause* pneumonia -- but I bet it could make it a lot worse!

Nope I started with a very high fever. 103.5 during this time I could hardly walk I was shaking really really bad. They finally found out what it was after a lot of blood work and a chest X-ray. It was horrible!!Out of interest Matty did you start with a chest infection and continue to vape as normal?
I only ask as I'm just coming out the other end of having flu been left with this chest infection and don't know whether I should be adjusting my vaping or not until it clears ...
I was the same way. I didn't want food or anything.When I had the flu vaping did not make it better or worse however I was much too sick to do much vaping in any case.

No one but me uses my vape. Also I didn't say that vaping gave it to me. We're did you read that? You need to chill out!Pneumonia is caused by a bacterium or a virus. Saying that vaping gave it to you is like saying that getting cold gave you a cold or flu.

She read it here, in your first post, where you asked if vaping could have given you pneumonia:
Agreed, but not impossible esp if other factors are involved.Although I'm not a health professional, I'd have to say it is highly unlikely.

VG may perhaps provide a good place for germy things to grow?
I know PG does not but VG?
It may also build up in the lungs in some cases.
Seems to for me.
Yeah PG... But not all eliquids have PG now.And a follow on link for the above on Lipoid Pneumonia

Vape on people goes back to the point of buy your ingredients or juice from reputable companies trying to save a buck here or there for the sake vaping safely just not worth the hassle oh and don't put butter or oil in your ejuice when mixing yourself LoL
Now look at the price of a carton, geeezzzzI figure me and the Mrs were killing a carton of smokes every 5 days between us. So every pay period almost 3 cartons. Down here what we were smoking $5.35 a pack, around $52 a carton. A little bit of ciphering and I can buy alot of premium juice along with a couple of mods once I get this all figured out and still come out better than I was.
Found this from ages ago probably better analysis out there but seems to agree with what you are saying Cromwell as to what that safe blend is I don't know most premium juices tend to be about 70/30 guessing it's somewhere around there?

It's the Klowds!Actually these days most are more like 30/70; for some damn reason, high VG has become a real fad.

Well to be honest most of us make bigger cloudz than you do AndriaWhich is STOOPID. No cigarette EVER caused KLOWDZ like that.

I know right??It makes the 20 something I spent on a 4 oz bottle of Cyclops Phoenix yesterday not hurt all that bad. I have to admit the strawberry tastes better than the ciggs I was smoking.lol

I've always done VG first so think we meant the same thing lol
Either way I make mine at 75/25 (VG/PG) don't vape for the clouds and it's certainly not a fad just hate the throat hit I get from PG find it a smoother more pleasent vape for me there, I know you like it the other way due to health just for me personally that's where I like my vapes at
I do 40 VG / 60 PG.I've always done VG first so think we meant the same thing lol
