No one said Vaping was a 'cure all' for asthma. No offense intended with that comment.
Asthma can be excaserbated (hate that word but dang I think I may have spelled it right) by anything in our environment.

Has the weather changed? Dryer/wetter? New dryer sheets in the laundry? Perfume? Hair products? Mold season? Fresh paint, cleaning supplies, a pet, air conditioning or heating system changes/cleaning/stop/start.... at home, work or anywhere you frequent.

Any airborn 'irritant' can cause a flare up. And what irritates one person's breathing can be fine for someone else's. Another thought ... now that you're not smoking you could become more sensitive to other things and people can develop allergies to something their body was previously just fine with... at any time.

I noticed a tiny bit of congestion myself when I spent an evening at a local casino that allows smoking. I woke up feeling like I'd chain smoked a pack myself.

Hope you find the cause - and I'm not a DR. so I'm not claiming that it's not possibly related to vaping...just things to consider as to what could be going on.
BTW - switch juice? Try a new one? PG? VG?
so many variables...

Blsssngs,

Switch to VG and distilled water. Eliminate the flavors too and work them back in.

JJ2:

Thanks, I have both I will try that.............I am hoping it's vg or pg. As I said I want to be successful, and I found for the first two weeks vaping is very satisfying. I had absolutely no cravings for analogs.

thx
jennifer

I agree with JJ2's suggestions. I started out with PG. Didn't have any huge side effects with PG, just sore throat, lotsa flem. Changed over to doing DIY with VG, and started experimenting with flavorings. Discovered that if I did no flavoring (with or without VG based nicotine), I had no problems. I've since discovered since that there are some flavorings that give me a hard time, some that don't. Thank heavens Capella hazelnut flavoring doesn't, cause I love that stuff. If you're sensitive to the flavorings, I'd suggest using Capella instead of Loranns...they're a lighter flavoring with few artificial colors.

I just wanted to update everyone on my e-smoking. I found that the VG, was the culprit. It felt like my lungs were filling up with it, and I could not cough it up. I totally stopped the DIY e-juice. I was mixing my own according to e-liquid calculator. I was mixing 48mg w/veg glycerin. I COULD NOT VAPE THIS.

Now, I only buy e-liquid that is pg. I do not mix my own anymore. I am having ZERO problems, and I AM LOVING VAPING. I own a Prodigy, 5volt. AWESOME. I vape e-juice from Rocky Mountain Vapor, 18 mg Virginia flavor. I can even tell when I take the stairs (verses elevator), I am breathing sooooooo much easier.

I had the same sort of reaction from VG as you did. The VG also seemed to chemically burn my tongue. I switched back to pure PG and I am doing much better and my tongue is slowly healing.
