Side effects of vaping PG - Page 2 - E-Cigarette Forum

BuzzKill · 12-13-2009, 06:45 PM

35 yrs 1-1/2 to 2 packs a day , Sleep apnea coughs etc. , I used to wake up 2-3 times a night to SMOKE ! , also woke up from the sleep apnea.
Since starting E-cigs NO waking up to smoke , I sleep thru the night ( except to drink water. )

So they can BAN e-cigs I will go BLACK MARKET if need be !

I am also one of those that had a horrible wheeze when I went to bed. For the most part, it's gone from the first day I started vaping, and stopped smoking. I'm not foolish enough to think it's the vaping, because I know it cleared up from no longer smoking.
As far as PG inhibiting colds and other upper respiratory problems, I'm not to sure about that yet, but for the last day or so, I seem to be on the verge of getting my annual sinus infection. So I'll have a better idea in the next few days.

I have not completely given up the analogs - but the wheezing is better now. Tasting and smelling also imporoved.

Any thoughts on snoring?

snoring would be dependant on the cause..for me better but not gone. I have dodged 2 family colds and kept the swine flu to an irritating stomach ache so far this year

I have not had a cigarette in 12 days (smoked for 25 years) and have not coughed in 12 days. My lungs, sense of smell and taste have improved dramatically. I have never quit for any length of time before this so I cannot compare quitting smoking using other methods to quitting smoking by using the e-cig. Obviously, I have not coughed and hacked because I am no longer inhaling smoke; However, I am starting to think that maybe the inhaling of vapor itself may intensify this effect. Maybe the vapor or even the pg have a healing effect. I would like to hear from people who have both quit smoking for a while in the past using other methods and compare the physical differences to quitting smoking using the e-cig.

Thats the way I see it. Most days I wind up taking a couple of Advil. I had bad headaches while smoking also but not as much. Another thread here was talking about dehydration causing headaches so today I am drinking more water. So far so good. No headache yet.

I haven't had any headaches, what causes that?

I don't know for sure, but I have heard some people mention about the headaches. It could be a lot of things, but it could be dehydration. I usually get a bad one in the afternoon. My fluid intake is mostly coffee. Today I wanted to see so I increased my water intake this morning and only had a slight headache coming on this afternoon. I increased my water intake even more (I really hate that stuff) and the headache disappeared. I have heard that when you stop smoking you should really increase your fluids.

My husband tells me my snoring has greatly decresed since I switched from analogs to vaping. Now, I find this hard to believe ... Since he never proved to me that I ever snored to begin with. LOL
