Why Does My Vape Burn My Throat?
Why Does My Vape Burn My Throat?
Vaping is a great way to quit smoking, but it can sometimes cause a burning sensation in the throat. There are a few reasons why this might happen, and there are also a few things you can do to prevent it.
Here are some of the reasons why your vape might be burning your throat:
- The nicotine level is too high. If you're used to smoking cigarettes, you may be used to a high level of nicotine. When you switch to vaping, you may need to start with a lower nicotine level and gradually increase it until you find a level that's right for you.
- The PG/VG ratio is too high. PG (propylene glycol) and VG (vegetable glycerin) are the two main ingredients in e-liquid. PG is a thinner liquid that produces more throat hit, while VG is a thicker liquid that produces more vapor. If you're sensitive to PG, you may want to choose an e-liquid with a lower PG content.
- The coil is too hot. The coil in your vape is what heats up the e-liquid and produces vapor. If the coil is too hot, it can cause the vapor to be too hot, which can lead to a burning sensation in the throat.
- You're not drinking enough water. When you vape, you're losing water through your breath. If you're not drinking enough water, you may be dehydrated, which can also lead to a burning sensation in the throat.
Here are some things you can do to prevent your vape from burning your throat:
- Start with a lower nicotine level. If you're new to vaping, start with a lower nicotine level and gradually increase it until you find a level that's right for you.
- Choose an e-liquid with a lower PG content. If you're sensitive to PG, choose an e-liquid with a lower PG content.
- Let the coil cool down before taking a hit. If you take a hit right after you turn on your vape, the coil may be too hot. Let the coil cool down for a few seconds before taking a hit.
- Drink plenty of water. When you vape, you're losing water through your breath. Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated.
If you're still experiencing a burning sensation in your throat after following these tips, you may want to talk to your doctor. They can help you figure out what's causing the problem and recommend a solution.
