Default Uncomfortable chest

Hello.
Has anyone else experienced this?.This is my second day using the mini e-cig and after inhaling (sometimes) I can feel a strange heavy like sensation in my chest,Im assuming my lungs more like.I hope this is just me adapting to the new way of smoking.
Im really hoping Im not one of the unlucky ones thats unable to use this as I think its great cos I just went to light up my first "real" cig of the day i.e.5PM,and put it straight out as it was horrible,so some good is comming of this

This discomfort might be from your chest starting to clear as you are not smoking cigarettes as much, this is only my opinion though

I noticed this at first as well. Lungs felt "Full" or "Heavy" but it soon passed. I'm allergic to high concentrations of PG, but if its split at least by 35-50%, I'm fine. If you were allergic to PG, you would have much worse symptoms IMO.

Dee- I experienced several times a burnign sensation in the lungs that made it difficult to inhale the E-Cigg- a burning like when you get Bronchitis (Those hwo get bronchitis will know hte feeling- like inhaling fire into your lungs everytime you take a breath).

At first I thought maybe I was just coming down with a cold in hte lungs, but then I recently received two atomizers from SmartFixx, and I discovered that one of hte atomizers caused this burnign sensation i nthe lungs, and the other oen did not- I kept switchign back and forth to make sure, and each time hte result was the same- After a week of use htough, The one htat was causing the burnign i nthe lungs has mellowed out mostly- still get it a little bit, but when it first came, it was quite pronounced and I almost couldn't use it at all, but I hung in htere thinking that whatever was in the steel wool would diminish enough to point it wouldn't do that anymore, and sure neough, that's exactly what happened

I also noticed it definately was the atomizer, and not a cold because I could smoke a real ciggarette, and htis burnign would not happen, and were it a cold, it would also cause hte burning with real cigg- so definately it was the atomizer

Makes ya wonder what's in the Atomizers when they arrive

i find a real powerhouse smoke producer will make anybody splutter.. the same with a weak or strong normal cig.. are u sure it not just down to the smoke producing abilities dropping off.. with a brand new atomizer and good prime my pipes have to be dragged on with care.. a hefty drag and full inhale make your eyes water.. he he

when new these things always come with nice a factory prime.. unless dripped the atomizers never gets the same amount of liquid around it as that factory prime..

the factory prime must be dried eliquid or the like on the atomizer itself. considering, most sit day, weeks, or however long before reaching the end user.

it would be interesting to see if you take a working atomizer, stick a few drops on it, then let it sit for a week. wonder what type of vapor it would produce.

Yes I'm sure Tog, as I wondered that myself, but hte fact is that I was switching back and forth between the two atomizers during hte day to test this out- Both were brand new atomizers, and both were producing approximately the same amount of vapor as they were borth factory preprimed and workign pretty good- one caused the problem, the other did not- so that answers it right htere for me.
