1 week after making the switch ...

[mbloomer04]

Did anyone find they spent their first week with no analogues coughing up large amounts of brown 'gunk'?

I used to cough up black junk on a daily basis, about a week after vaping I coughed so hard I actually stumbled out of the house and scared the neighbors. Haven't coughed or hacked anything up since then.

Oh yes, and two weeks in mine is easing off. As far as I can work it out it's your lungs getting rid of some of the tar. Stick with it.

Smoking pushes the tar back into your lungs while building up more tar. If you're not smoking, you have nothing keeping the stuff in your lungs, so you will be coughing up nasty stuff for a bit.

This is completely normal. When I quit (the third time?) with Chantix, I got it really bad. Black stuff in the shower for days on end, disgusting. That was about 2 years ago and this go around (just hit 9 days with vaping), it's not nearly as bad. I attribute that to the fact that I had pretty much cleared out most of it on that previous extended quit. It has nothing to do with vaping, it's just your body clearing out all that nasty stuff. It'll take about a week or two and then should relax.

Better anywhere than in your lungs! Keep it up!

You bet. In the aftermath of a quadruple bypass I was dismayed to see how much gunk was draining from my lungs. It is the tar and other assorted substances accumulated through smoking tobacco. It will pass as long as you pass on the analogs. Good luck!

No. Kind of disappointing. I'm hoping it's not all still in there.

Glad I'm not the only one, definitely will be sticking with it if it's me clearing out the old stuff and not an ecig related issue

Same here, little bit of brown here and there but I would hack up more in the mornings when I was smoking the real things.

When I gave up analogs, Mid-April 2012, I coughed up some pretty nasty gunk in the shower for about a week or so but nothing since then.

Yes and it was nasty! But now, 7 weeks in..I have NO cough. No smokers cough, no getting rid of cigs cough...it's awesome! Stick with it, it'll be better. Week 3 was the stopping point for me. I used to smoke 1.5 packs of menthol a day.

 

[m00sey]

19 days with no analogs and ive not had that....yet?

I didnt used to smoke too much...probably 6ish a day.

What did you smoke before quitting? alot?

I was a 2+ a PAD smoker, and now about 3 weeks free of them. You hang in there cause it'll all get better!! I also got the coughing problems more in the beginning, but so much better even now after this short amount of time

 

[CaptainSpaulding]

Yes! I was all kinds of congested and coughing up gross stuff. My throat hurt bad too but I read that is a sign of nicotine withdrawal(?) Anyway, tomorrow is a week free of analogs and my coughing and congestion has stopped.

 

[THnCS]

I was a 1 pack a day. If I remember correctly, it took about 3-4 weeks to get cleared out. Been great since. Stick with it! It gets better.
