    Depending on what kind of sickness you have if you have the flue, PC should be good, just watch this one :'
    1942 Study Uncovers Incredible Health Benefits of Inhaled Propylene Glycol - ChurnMag
    for you who won't follow the link here is the article :

    1942 Study Uncovers Incredible Health Benefits of Inhaled Propylene Glycol
    As the world argues about the safety of electronic cigarettes, it’s clear that we need to place a greater emphasis on scientific research. Interestingly, there have been studies done prior to the birth of ecigs that give us a clue as to how vaping impacts the human body. A perfect example of this is a studyconducted by Dr. Oswald Hope Robertson of the University of Chicago’s Billings Hospital in 1942. Dr. Robertson studied how the inhalation of propylene glycol impacted laboratory mice.

    Propylene glycol is one of the primary ingredients in e-liquid, but even before it was used to make electronic cigarettes, Dr. Robertson was testing its effects by inhalation. He suspected that this powerful ingredient could potentially be helpful for treating respiratory diseases, influenza, and even pneumonia.

    To test his theory, he placed groups of mice into two chambers. In the first chamber, he sprayed the air with propylene glycol and then the flu virus. In the second chamber, he sprayed only the flu virus. Surprisingly, all of the mice in the chamber sprayed with propylene glycol survived, whereas the mice exposed only to the flu virus died.

    Dr. Robertson concluded, “The propylene glycol itself was a potent germicide. One part of glycol in 2,000,000 parts of air would – within a few seconds – kill concentrations of air-suspended pneumococci, streptococci, and other bacteria numbering millions to the cubic foot.”

    So what is this powerful substance known as propylene glycol? It is essentially a synthetic liquid that absorbs water. Today, we use PG in many cosmetic, food, and pharmaceutical products. It is also used in fog machines and even to generate smoke for fire fighter trainings. The FDA classifies PG as a food and drug additive that is “generally recognized as safe”. It is clear, colorless, and has no taste or odor.

    Electronic cigarettes utilize propylene glycol in the e-liquid. When it heats up, it turns into a vapor that the smoker inhales. Looking back at Dr. Robertson’s study from 1942, we see that PG might offer benefits apart from just smoking cessation. It seems that PG could even help keep us healthy and protect against the spread of viruses like the flu.

    Most people don't realize it but major hospitals vaporize PG and run it through the ventilation systems throughout the hospitals to keep germs down.

    And old study, but the results may very well be just as valid.
    Too bad I have problems with PG then, because this is how I feel today :sickout:. And a new waterfall has been discovered in the middle of my face.

    Never tried Fizzy kola but I vaped Tribecca for awhile...no menthol at all. He may be talking about Halo Sub Zero, which is an awesome menthol...

    So the menthol makes it "cold" I would much rather just the cola, hard to imagine menthol with cola, but I just don't like menthol to begin with.

    Interesting ingredient list, still doesn't really mention menthol, which is something that irks me a bit, I would totally buy this not realizing that by "cold refreshing" they weren't referring to just cola and they meant a menthol blast included. I have already bought a juice labeled "Peach" that was like half peach/half menthol. I never bought menthol cigarettes on accident, don't know why they don't add something to indicate the menthol more often.


    Not sure why they put a "Low Hazard" label on the bottom too, I'm guessing just to be funny or something, but it seems sort of silly. It's either hazardous in that you need to keep it away from kids/animals or it's not really proven hazardous (unless this juice contains some ingredient which has found to caused issues).

    Darth is vaping "fizzy cola" right now! Not a menthol fan either but sometimes it just works. This is one of those times. Also if you score another menthol free cola juice you can dial down the freezer by cutting the juice.

    Mad Houz "Shiver" is also damn fine juice. Since we're on the topic of Malaysian Menthols, also worth a mention is Voodoo Vape "Revenge". Both offer nice fruit flavors in a perfect balance against the menthol. The menthol is set apart from the other flavors and are distinct. They complement each other rather than the menthol just crushing all else as you might find in many other menthol/flavor combo blends.

    oh, and all three good for sore throat.

    For a sore throat I would go for something smother than a Menthol, but maybe thats because my extream ice is a very strong one, great for a cold and to clear the sinuses. For a sore throat I would recoment Bavarian Cream, Its my morning vape every day because its not harsh. Ive also been down with a sore throat and cold for a few days so Ive been vaping plenty of both of these.
