Vaping when sick?

[ladysolitary85]

I just picked up a cold and I'm finally past the horrorable runny nose stage and coughing up a storm and today I can finally breath but now I'm stuck with my darn chipmunk voice...

*starts singing "Christmas Don't Be Late"*

anyways, on a serious note, I've noticed when I vape my throat is extremely sensitive to the vapor... yet smoking analogs doesn't effect me as much when I'm sick...

any reason for this guys? or am I alone on this one?

actually i had the same problem it hurt so bad to vape but strangely i could pick up an analog which i wasent proud of doing, since i was in the midst of quitting. i think it might be the heat from the vapor or the nic coating the throat.

i had this happen over thanksgiving... and im sure it's the level of nicotine (which burns) and pg (which is an alcohol) hits the back of the throat as a mist and sets in... smoke, not really moistened alcohol and nicotine - so its not a vapor sticking to the throat and stinging as it sinks in...

one thing i can tell you, is the flu was cured in a matter of 3 days, using no other medication than low nicotine PG - which also when french inhaled did wonders for clearing my sinuses of mucus when i was sick...

Yea I just can't get past that sensitive feeling when I vape right now. Which irritates me because I want the e-cig over the analog. I don't use a very high juice either, just 12 mg at least for now until I can find a good 24mg flavor.

It just puzzled me.

cough drops girl... cough drops

I know! really need to get my hands on some. Had to use the last of my check on rent, and I'm out of Day Quil

Could of swore I had cough drops somewhere but they disappeared somewhere

Hey ladysol I hear you on the Dayquil. I swear by the stuff!! Feel better!

[ladysolitary85]

I really wish I cold Allie but I've got no cash on me till the 20th. Yep, I'm that broke lol. That's only because I wasn't expecting to be sick... (is anyone though, really? lol). All I have left is night time meds....

My idea is to take the night time meds when I'm off work.... maybe that'll kick in.

My nose congestion got so bad that I couldn't breath, my guy made me some tea with a little special stuff in it to knock me out

In the meantime, I'm laying low on the vaping until I can get a normal feeling in my throat, not too happy about that.

Do you have any friends who could lend you the couple bucks for cough drops? Just buy a big bag for like 3 or 4 bucks they don't need to be any special brand or anything just get the cheapest bulk one you can find. You can get 80 from CVS for 3 dollars

I tried Freeskierpj, but they all couldn't help. I even asked my mom .

I'm not overly fond of asking people for cash or anything, I'm just going to tough it out and try to use my night meds since its all I have left and drink on some hot tea.
