Good idea to point out the PG allergies, but I'd agree that starting a thread might generate the discussion that you are looking for. From there you might be able to gauge the need for a sub-forum.
I've started threads about PG allergy on other fora. One thread is pretty useless if you've not exactly come to talk about your allergy. You've come here looking for PG free juices, for vendors who sell PG free concentrates and juices, PG free recipes, suggestions for tanks that can handle 100VG. ety. ...every kind of info that people come to a forum like this for. Yeah, yeah, you can actually find threads about all those things already, if you dig, but they are widely scattered , and not that easy to turn up. A forum that gathers all those threads together in one place would be a godsend; and would encourage more threads.
Actually, it's not just people who are already allergic to PG who ought to be concerned about PG . Anyone can develop an allergy, anytime. Personally I was vaping PG juices for several months before I developed a PG allergy. As the owner of Open Source Vapoor pointed out, latex allergy is common amongst surgeons, not so common in the general population. Why is that? Greater exposure to latex. Of course, he made PG-free juices because he has a PG allergy himself, but his philosopphy is that prevention is better than cure. I very much agree. PG is extremely common - almost to the point of universal, in medicines, eg asthma inhalers.
Nobody gets as much exposure to PG as somebody who vapes it 24/7. Think on that
Yeah, I suffer from asthma. Nicotine soothes it, but PG now triggers/exacerbates it. So, this allergy has made my asthma inhaler useless. So it's not just a question of avoiding PG in my vapes, nowadays. It's avoiding inhaling PG, period, which is a serious pain, and reduces my life expectancy. Because there's no such thing as a PG-free asthma inhaler. At least not on the NHS. If only I'd avoided vaping PG in the first place!
Anyways, if people like OSV, Vigin Vapor, Intellicig, etc, could all make a successful business out of marketing PG-free juice, then I should think there's room in the world for one little subforum about it.
Of course, t's taken me fooking years to find out about those PG free companies.(yes, in spite of consulting just about all the vaping fora at one time or another) And what with the vaping world in a state of flux (especially in Britain!) my research badly needs updating . Anyway, It would be very nice if others, with similar needs could just check out the PG-free subforum, don't you think? It could save them endless hours of sifting.
Why is that that people assume, by default, that a poster doesn't know what they're talking about already? If I didn't know what I'm talking about, I would've posted a question, not a suggestion.
I've waited... what? about 7-8 years for a PG-free forum to materialise, and it hasn't happened. And now some of you think I should do a bit of research and start a thread or two before posting this suggestion? Been there,done that, and not even I know when and where I've started those threads, it's lost in the mists of time. But here's a thread, hmm? And it's generating discussion. Just like you asked. What exactly is wrong with this thread that i should be starting another thread?
Where do you think it should go? Will have a look as well but let me know your thoughts.
