I may have to give up e cigs

[labrat]

I am so bummed right now. I have all but stopped using the analogs. The only time I even have an analog is when my equipment is not working correctly. I have had battery issues, atomizer issues, and running out of juice issues. But when things work well I don't NEED analogs.

But for the last week I have had some really bad pain in my lungs. I tried to convince myself it was only muscle pain. Don't think it is thou.

My doctor didn't even know what it was was when I told him I was smoking an e cig. He did say "whatever gets you off cigarettes is fine." So now I am really stuck between a rock and a hard place. Pretty sure if I go back it will kill me. But is this new problem also gonna be detrimental to my health? Kinda just rambling now and have to try to resolve this in my own mind. Maybe "cold turkey".

Not gonna ask for advice or sympathy, just need to get this out and was wondering what others have experienced.

I stop in to ecf everyday so I'll be reading but I am very depressed now.

****!

i think that's a little too broad and generalized to say "it's your ecig causing it."

Only you and your doctor can determine what is going on with your health. With so many of us puffin away with no chest issues, I hope that this turns out to be unrelated and something benign.
Best of luck.

Hi labrat,
Think you might be in the USA, are you?
If so, you have the option of dissolvables and snus to keep you going. Meantime the doc needs to do some tests. Could be a chest infection or anything. Grit yr teeth and get the testing done!
Warm best wishes,
C.

you may want to switch liquids.

There are a few suppliers out there that have Non-pg liquids (VG).

Though it does not sound like a PG allergy to me. It's worth a try.

Lots of advise and concern, you all are awesome. I got a PM suggesting snus, never thought about that. I do have a can of snus at home for making flavoring.
Ya know, I am a bit of a hypocondriac but the pain seems to almost be proportional to the amount of vaping I do.
Someone suggested a new flavor. Just happen to have gotten 2 new flavors from a new to me vendor. And a supply of atomizers. Will try a hotter atty and some ry4. And as suggested I need to talk to the doc. Hate going to the doc thou, arg. I will be reading and will update as I go. Thanks again for all your concerns.

Also, have you had a full physical and had your lungs checked? Your problems may be from long term smoking maybe. Maybe having everything checked out will ease your mind.

Is it a pain that goes across your upper chest? below the collar bones and extends halfway across the chest on either side? Tight feeling? Try cutting down on your nic levels. I had the same pains when I would sit at my desk and vape all day.

another thought is low or no nic vape with a snus to supplement the nic

How long have you been e-smoking again? probably not that long right. Maybe its pain from quitting smoking? like all the mucus coming up or something? I heard that many people who quit smoking get chest pains. But it also could be the e-cig. Let us know what you find out. Try not smoking anything for awhile, see if it goes away, then if ur daring, try E-smoking again see if the pain returns.

Do you smoke on it all day long, i heard that u get very little nicotine with e-cigs. who the hell knows. Hope everything works out for you.
