Is it just me? But can you vape when your sick?

[maf2k8]

Ok, I smoked analogs for years ( 14 ) and i admit, when i was sick i couldn't stand having a smoke, but if it was a cold or something of the sort i still smoked.

I noticed one thing ( and so did my buddy ) but whenever i am sick ( cold, chest cold, sore throat, etc ) vaping is like inhaling a bag of rocks into my lungs!

Now i DOUBT this is because my lungs haven't had smoke in 4 months and there clearing up, but when i am sick it kills! Like someone throwing a ton of bricks at my chest, sometimes burns, just awe-full!!

Is anyone else like this?

As i said, with analogs, i could manage it ( they tasted nasty normally, maybe a slight burn of the throat at times ) but when vaping its just a NO NO bottom line!

I've had colds and still vaped. In fact, though I'm not yet certain, it appears to me vaping has helped me a bit.

I almost always get a secondary bacterial URI/Lung infection on the tail end of a cold and end up on atibiotics. Not since I started vaping. In fact a couple of low-grade infections that have bothered me for years have cleared up. Coincidence or not, I'm glad of it.

It was that way for me too, but I had only been vaping for a week or so at the time. I couldn't touch my ecig until my cold was over.

I am suffering from a cold now which has settled in my chest. I am still vaping although I have noticed the cough is a very dry one that makes it very hard to sleep. I am trying to only vape when I really need to in order to let this thing run its course.
I always have had the colds end up in the chest and always end up with a cough that lasts forever. I think it was a little worse on normal cigarettes than it is currently with vaping.

I know what you mean...

Try vaping some menthol, you'll be saying Vicks who??

Right now my sinuses are acting up and I got a bit of a sore throat. When I'm like this, I have to vape VG. PG and flavors just agitate my problems.
I have to do this until things clear up---A bit blah, but better than nothing.

I've just gotten over a minor cold that was primarily a throat irritation and vaping wasn't very pleasent. The good news was it only lasted about a week.

I had a head/chest cold at Thanksgiving. Vaped Menthol Eucalyptus. Ahhhh Really made my head feel better. Cold was gone much faster than when I smoked and I didn't get the usual bronchial infection or have to go to the Dr.!

Eucalyptus is hard for me to handle for some reason.
Of course, I haven't tried it since I started vaping.
Maybe if it was really mild---at least I could stop running around smelling like Vicks.

I noticed the same thing, maf2k8.

I use an 808 normally, and when i'm sick, i switch to something with less of a throat-hit, like my trusty 901.
