1. Welcome to Thailand Vapers, an English language forum for members in Thailand and the rest of Asia to talk about vaping.
    Commonly referred to as e-cigarettes, vaping is really about the use of personal vaporizers (mods) and atomizers (tanks, clearos, RBAs, RDAs, RTAs) filled with e-liquid.
    Are you looking to get started or an old hand at vaping? Everyone is welcome here so sign up today and talk vaping with us!

    Has anyone experienced any strange symptoms from vapping? Have you noticed what causes them? Pg, vg, flavor, a specific brand?

    I'm looking to order some liquids from the US and hope to get some ideas of what to avoid if possible.

    I did when I first started, as my body was getting rid of 32 years of analogue garbage in my system. I must have hacked out at least a lung and breathing was hard as I was expelling everything. Now everything is fine. But that's just me.

    Those symptoms were those I used to suffer from smoking :)

    One thing that has changed for me in my vaping is that I become much more "sensitive" with the regard to PG. I prefer much less PG now. Beside that it's just a question about smell and flavour.

    Everyone is different, the only thing you can go by is how you get along with the juice.

    Nothing for me, i never had any problems as a smoker, no smokers cough or any other stuff.
    I was a 30 a day heavy smoker for around 20 years....
    The only thing i got for the last year of smoking was bad headaches...
    Once I started vaping i felt no different and have had no things at all ...
    I like 50/50 juice or heavier VG...
    All is good...
    I might just give up vaping all together :wink:

    I usually vape 50/50, but have had no problems with Mack's Juice (65/35 VG/PG) or Highbrow Vapor (70/30 PG/VG)

    I get shortness of breath when I vape juice with diketones (possibly just diacetyl and acetyl pyrazine, I'm not really sure). I also get a strange feeling and aftertaste when I vape anything sweetened with sucralose. Neither of these things personally concern me, and they seem to go away as I get used to a juice that contains them, but I prefer to avoid them to keep my sensitivities up. I try to avoid them altogether in juices I make.

    First part of the question, give then to me. Second part of the question, take a look at Bigs driptips, there are some of different materiel, like wiood, plastic, teflon and glass, just to name a few.

    Wich one are better I guess is something that is very individual, iI fear you just have to try some different materials out so see what suits you best.
