Asthma and Ecigs

[wellsy57]

I don't have nor have ever had asthma. But I DO have COPD. (Compulsive Obsructive Pulminary Disease). And I just got my dse-901. For me, my first attempts at vaping are NOT good. I had quit smoking back in February for 3 months and taking Symbicort helped my lungs improve dramatically during that time. Then some butthole bought me a pack of analogs on my May 30th (44th) birthday and said 'have fun'. That was all it took and I've been back to a pack a day since. But my COPD is getting worse since and so now I was looking for a way to help me quit analogs. My doc won't prescribe Chantix due to increased suicide rates. And then I found this wonderful website. I read and read till my eyes were sore, and then finally purchased the DSE-901. At first try, it was awful on my crappy lungs. Maybe I just need to get off analogs first before I can give an acurate assesment. But COPD and vaping at first, don't work. Vaping seems very harsh to me, cousing me to cough up alot of phlem, and maybe I just need to concentrate on getting off analogs to see if I improve like all of you did with your asthma issues. Somebody wish me luck. And I hope NONE of you get COPD. It's not fun. But, if I quit smoking and stay on Symbicort, I WILL get better. Vaping DOESN'T seem to be the answer today. BUT, maybe if I stick with vaping and get off analogs, maybe eventually I'll be fine. Darn, why is quitting analogs so hard? Thanks for any input you asthma peeps might have.

I've got COPD and I'm chain vaping ecopure (made with vg) without any real problems. Also, get the doctor to put you on low dose theophylline (100 mg twice a day) as it helps to some degree.

Thanks Adik, I researched theophylline and found that I'm not a candidate becouse I've had a siezure in the past and becouse I have permanant spinal cord damage in my neck. But thank you very much for your advice.
