Cigarettes or Vaping?

[AppleAddictAgustin]

So I recently changed the cigs I smoke and at the same time I changed my wick from silica to cotton. I woke up with a cough and an itchy throat. Swapped back to silica and I cant taste my juice. I know you guys aint doctors but im wondering what caused my throat issues? Anyone ever had this happen? I let my silica sit in water for about a day and I let my cotton sit in water for an hour, both purified if that makes a difference.

Its because you smoke cigs..... Lol, just my opinion.

 

[Katya]

New cigs, perhaps?

 

[ElevenEleven]

Cigs.

 

[DeeJayhX]

Cigs, especially if you just switched to newports for the first time

 

[WickedSick]

It is most probably due to the cigs

 

[Completely Average]

Easy way to know for sure. Keep using your silica wick and the new cigarettes. If you continue to have same problem you know it's the cigs.

It's most likely the cigs like everyone else is saying. Try going without a cig for an hour, put in a fresh wick, juice it and vape away. If that works then you know it's the cigs.

Cigs... No good comes from those

Have you gotten any dry hits? Only thing that can do that for me so unless you've had many dry hits I'd be inclined to go with everyone else and say it was the cigs. It could also be something completely unrelated of the two, but from those two I would pick the cigs. If it doesn't go away you might want to get it checked out. If your mouth and throat feel dry try sipping some water while you vape. Also, IMO, organic cotton doesn't need to be soaked or boiled or anything, I never did it to mine and it worked great. Just make sure it's nice and saturated after you re-wick, before you turn it on.

I've smoked cigs for 6+ years ( newport menthols for the majority ) and I have coughed up dry blood, I have went through constant bronchitis, I have had trouble running and breathing properly.. and if I continue will end up with lung cancer and possibly throat cancer..

So itchy throat or not my advice would be that cigs have a high probability to end lives very short, that includes mine and yours. I would assume if you put the cigs down you would feel perfectly fine.

Maybe you need to let the cigs sit in water for an hour and concentrate on the vaping

Same juice, pg, and vg? Higher nic juice was hard on my throat in the beginning. Nothing like cigs were especially when I smoked a different brand. On top of that I only smoked a pack a week but my throat would still get jacked up when I bummed a different brand.

Seems your juice is full of harmful ingredients and your mod is on fire.

Best advice I ever heard was when you really want a cig, vape for 5 mins and if it doesn't pass light one up (it always passes). I know all my throat issues were quickly resolved after quitting smoking. Good luck to you.

Cigs

 

[AppleAddictAgustin]

Late reply but turns out my brother was sick when I let him use my vape and it got me sick haha anyway I should probably quit and hopefully will soon

 

[Flowly]

Who knew that "sick" was the secret third option

 

[Jimi D.]

Probably the combination. Quit one and see what happens. I'd quit the cigs.

I lightly torch my silica to sterilize it.
