Seems that since i quit smoking i am sick every time i turn around. I have had a head cold at least 3 times now since i quit. Is anyone else been sick this much?
Sick and tired of being sick and tired

I don't normally get sick, and have not since quitting. Have you seen a doctor? I don't think that is normal.
Are you sure you have a cold? It could be that you are allergic to something in the juice. I have seen many people post that they are allergic to PG and have to use straight PV juices. Also, I know that in the past when I tried to quit smoking, my sinuses would start clearing and I had a runny nose for weeks. I haven't had that problem with the e-cigs, but it's another possibility.
As above, you may be allergic or sensitive to something in your liquid, be it a flavoring or PG or whatever. A trip to the doctor or allergist might be in order.
But if it's an obvious series of colds, infections, and whatnot, well...spring is coming. It's been an awful winter, and even I managed to get pneumonia (of the ear, scarily enough) this year.

I read somewhere that when you quit for some reason you are more prone to getting colds. i dont know. I am sure it is a cold cause i get the fever and all the cold symptoms. last about a week and i am good again. I know the weather has not helped things this year and I have had a ton of stress too which i am sure is not helping. Could just be coinencidence that i keep getting sick. Not sick enough to see a dr but sick enough to feel like poo. My head is just so congested. lol
Sorry to hear that youre feeling unwell. The good news is I bet you recover from it way faster than when you were a smoker.
Lord I hope so. The wife goes in for surgery on friday and i need this crap gone so I can take good care of her.

TY Zapped....
It's only been one day, and already I do feel on the mend. Usually it would last 5-6 weeks, crossing fingers.
The last few years, when I got a cold it would hang around for a week or two. The last one I got, after quitting cigarettes, lasted three days, just like they used to.
Sorry to hear it OP. Personally, I've been feeling great, hope you do too soon!!
I've had 2 colds this winter, but I think it's just a coincidence. Everyone at work has gotten them too, smokers, vapers, and non-smokers alike.
Nope. In fact I use to get sinus/cold symptoms multiple times a year that lasted 1-3 weeks before I quit smoking. Now when I get cold symptoms they don't stick around for more than a few days & I don't usually get them more than once a year (and that's pretty good with 2 little kids).
You either didn't say how long you've been smoke-free or I missed it. I found just the opposite with improved health after just a few weeks... really rather dramatic actually. Then I hit a wall at six months and it scared me for a while until I researched and found it was most likely a combo of too much flavoring and detoxing from smokes (I hadn't totally quite them and when I got down to 2 or 3 a day the detoxing hit... it was horrid and scarey.) I think everyone's body is different and for some of us it requires becoming somewhat of a Sherlock Holmes to figure out what's going on.
Early stages withdrawals and allergies could be the issue. I know when I first started one of my flavors was a cream flavor (like cream soda type cream) and I discovered that causes tightness in my chest.
By the way - Why do you have a picture of Kordell Stewart as your avatar?
Sorry OP for your illness!
My experience (over 3 years) has been just the opposite: rather than getting frequent sinus infections (followed invariably by bronchitis!), I don't believe I've had a single head cold since I quit smoking/started vaping full time!

After 18 months of vaping I found I have fewer colds or any other type of virus etc. All the people in my house have been sick but I don't get it...well until today, but even if I get a twinge of something it doesn't seem to stick around like it did when I smoked.
me and some co workers were talking about how its the opposite for us. Since we started none of us has been sick, one went back to cigs and has been sick twice in 3 months. i think its all coincidence.
I think it could just be the bi polar weather we are having this year. I dont know. It could also be age. lol I am not as young as I once was. lol It is getting better. At least now i can taste things. I had to sleep on the couch last night cause the coughing just would not stop. It is going away rather quickly. Maybe it is just my body getting rid of all the toxins. Sure hope this gets better. I hate being sick and trying to work. Ugh! Thanks everyone for your input. If this keeps happening I will go see my doctor. Just right now I am trying to make sure my wife is ok.
Over 70% of our immune system is located in our gut (the good bacteria). A quality probiotic, taken daily, will help to maintain that.
