8 years of smoking...now i have a cough while vaping

[Lo0nyt0on]

I understand the smokers cough. Ive had it....but ut seems like im coughing alot while vaping.
I did a little with the ego and 1 week into my mechanical on 6mg-12 mg
It seems like its continues. More on the 12 mg liquid(not great stuff but im waiting to get more 6mg)

Also i find myself coughing up guck alot in the morning when i wake up...
Not to get graphic but if you were a smoker and had those chain smoking late nights with drinking..
You know what im talking about.

Is this normal? Is it bad? Good?



I plan on picking up some juice soon more 6mg causeit help with no coughing while i vape. I think that the nicotine is makinh me cough.


But any ideas on the other stuff? If it is the vape how long do you think the coughing withh presist?

I was coughing up gunk off and on for the first 3 months I was vaping. How long that goes on and when it hits seems to vary alot from one person or another. After all you have all that crud in your chest from years of smoking that needs to come out.

First, welcome to ECF and to quitting smoking!

Ya, I've heard this from people several times. Check out this ECF article on symptoms when quitting smoking. Your symptoms are #4 & #5. This should clear up in a little while. If it worries you a doctor's visit is not unreasonable just to make sure there are no other issues.

Another thought is that the PG in the juice is also irritating your throat - I used to get a hard racking dry cough with PG so I went to all VG. You might want to try a heavier VG ratio to see if it helps while you get over the nastiness from smoking - oh - and congratulations too!

Like Hulamoon says, try out more VG than PG. Also, be aware of HOW you vape. It's not like smoking. I have a lot less coughing and irritation now that I don't do straight lung hits. I pull vapor into the mouth, then inhale. Also don't hold it in like you did with smoke. As for the coughing up gunk, I haven't had that problem. For me, I have no phlegm most days since I switched to vaping. Not sure what that's about.
