I'd really like to see if the Lung Flute would help out. It's used for collecting samples as well which could possibly be used for research. (eww..)
vaping does not really caused phlegm. It is when you initially stopped smoking analogs that caused the phlegm. After a while, when your body get used to No-Analog regime, the phlegm will gradually subside and dry up.
Sorry, but I beg to differ. I've been vaping for about 9 months now. When I smoked, I had a constant cough and lots of brown phlegm. When I started vaping -- with PG liquid -- it only took a few weeks for the cough and brown phlegm to completely go away. However, I realized that vaping was causing a thick, clear phlegm at the back of my throat. If I vaped heavily, lots of phlegm. If I eased off the vaping, less phlegm. I then bought some plain VG to mix with my e-liquid and right away I noticed the phlegm was a lot less. Problem was, it was also diluting the nicotine content of my e-juice (I vape 24 mg).
It took me a while, but I finally bought some DIY VG e-liquid (60mg nic juice, which I cut with plain VG, plus flavorings). I've only been vaping this stuff for about a week, but I noticed a lot less phlegm right away. Also, the PG was causing me dry mouth, which has totally gone away with the VG. After reading this thread, I'm going to mix up some unflavored juice and see if the phlegm goes away completely.
I think it's important to stress that the phlegm I get from vaping seems to originate at the back of my throat. I rarely, if ever, cough up phlegm since i quit smoking. Also, the vaping-induced phlegm is not a chronic problem. In other words, it gets better or worse within minutes of my switching between PG and VG (or a mix of the two).
They put PG in cigs too don't they? I'm sure I read that someplace on here. SO that would make sense then for me not having much of a difference between the 2. No phlegm at all would be awesome - I can't even remember what that feels like.Esdel has it exactly right. TraderBlue is, bluntly, wrong.
Clinical trials are bearing out right now what Esdel wrote. Only trouble, in the trials, both PG and VG are causing clear phlegm, back-of-throat problems. A carrier for nicotine that won't cause this is being sought.
See this page: Cigarette Ingredients | Tobacco IngredientsThey put PG in cigs too don't they?

Phlegm yes, but it's pretty much tasteless. No idea where the taste of crap could be coming from, have you tried changing flavours?ive been vaping a lot over a few months and im getting phlegm that taste like crap literally, its freaky, ive actually had a lot of crazy health issues. anyone else getting crap tasting phlegm?
There IS another alternative- its called PEG and its hard to find...I used it for 5 months with no side effects besides dry eyes...I tried going back to PG and VG and started having congestion/phlegm.. I would really like to go back to PEG again but the US vendor that carried it doesn't sell ecig stuff anymore..
Totally Wicket Uk carries it, but it is a fortune in shipping costs..I was informed that totally wicked USA would be carrying it soon, so Im just waiting to find out..
I have MAD allergies and PEG is the only e liquid so far that doesn't cause wheezing/hives/ or phlegm..
I have been a member of this board for a year now and without PEG liquid, I have unfortunately gone back to analogs..
If anyone else knows of a PEG carrier please let all of us know that are looking for an alternative to PG/VG..
Thanks!
