I know this is kinda rare and even rarer on Vape boards due to most that are like me quickly giving up on vaping and going back to smoking.
My story.
I switched to vaping 4 years ago with an overpriced cigalike kit my wife surprised me with for Christmas.
Had given up on quitting smoking after many failed attempts during 40+ years of 1.5 PAD smoking habit.
But I figured what the heck.
The tobacco flavor that came in the cartomizers was ok and got me off of cigs in about 1 week.
But the cost of those prefilled cartos would cost me twice as much as smoking!
The problem began when I bought refillable cartomizers and ejuice.
The first round I could hardly talk for a few days because of severely inflamed mouth, throat and lungs.
Was determined and tried more juice. Some was not as bad as others so I quickly googled and learned about DIY and started that.
Ordered some flavorings that had no artificial ingredients and was fine.
Started trying other flavorings and found that over 80% of them cause the issues to varying degrees.
I tried close to 100 different flavorings and found an early warning sign.
Tingly lips after vaping just maybe 5 vapes. If I kept it up after that I would pay.
Found I could vape some Capella flavors and have been vaping Capella Vanilla custard V1 with Capella Whipped cream for over 3 years. Still vape some natural strawberry. ALL artificial strawberry causes the issue along with most artificial fruit flavors and even some tobacco flavors.
Anyway I created this thread to find others like me and see if we can help each other find stuff that we can vape.
And also I have no PG sensitivity other than vaping pure vg juice is harsh as heck.
I mix 50/50.
Also Many flavorings are just too chemically tasting for me to vape.
And yes I try different strengths of the flavoring as most recipes have too much flavoring to suit me anyway.
