Hello all! I just want to recount my personal experience in case any other folks start noticing similar symptoms. First I should provide a bit of personal background. I have extensive environmental allergies. If it has fur or blooms in any way, then I'm allergic to it. I've smoked analogs for 27 years at right around a pack a day. I developed asthma after smoking for eight years which was controlled by either OTC or prescription inhalers. Being the analog addict I was I kept puffing away and was eventually diagnosed with early stage emphysema. I've been vaping a grand total of around three months and have already noticed some improvement in my lung function.

This last month I've really started experimenting with flavors from various vendors. I'll not go into what flavors or what vendors because that is not what this post is about. What I have noticed is that I have started coughing excessively even while vaping. I also noticed that one particular juice gave me that 'tight band around the chest' feeling on the very first puff. Being the hard headed (I like to call it determined) kind of guy that I am, I tried that flavor several times with the same result. However this evening, I went back to my original straight menthol juice and it was like hitting an asthma inhaler. My breathing has cleared right up and my coughing has stopped. So what I am trying to say, in my typically long winded fashion, is that some people like myself, may have adverse experiences with certain flavors or even with the same flavor from different vendors. Even though I am disappointed that I won't be able to vape some of the tasty, tasty flavors available to us it simply appears that this is the route I will have to take.

Hopefully this will help someone who may be experiencing what I've gone through. But of course keep in mind that any respiratory problems are best check out by a medical professional.
