After I quit analogs will I cough up crap?

[Disparaging Shriek]

Ive been a pack a day smoker for 14 years,and smoking for 16. (yeah, I started at 12) I will be buying my first pv on Thursday and quitting analogs the day I get my it. My question is, will I still cough up the nasty crap thats building up in my lungs since I'll be vaping? Any input and personal experience helps, thanks so much!

For a while you will, eventually it will stop. I'm not an expert by any means but I think the moist vapor helps bring the tar out.

Expect fireworks.

I think that this, like so many other things, will be a personal experience. I was 1.5 to 2 pack Camel filters for 30 years and did not huck up anything as I turned to vaping. But then, I never really coughed while I was smoking either. My wife was a different story. As a smoker she was always clearing her throat but rarely coughed. As she got to 90% vaping she did experience some "evacuation", but nothing too much. I blame it on her dang menthols

For the first couple week I was coughing up stuff, but eventually it all went away.

Awesome. Thanks for the info and personal experiences everyone!

Smoked for over 30 years with the last few years at 2 packs a day. I was lucky in that I didn't cough a lot as a smoker, only on an occasional morning. When I stopped smoking and started vaping almost 6 months ago I expected to cough up a lot of that nasty crap but I only experienced very little nasty crap coming up. Not sure if that was good or bad, but it was my experience.

From what I understand, coughing stuff up is a good thing after quitting. It's the lungs healing themselves and clearing out the built up tar and such. It happens to most people regardless of their method of quitting. I used to work in a retail e-cig store and had a lot of people think the e-cigs were causing a problem because of the coughing, but it went away for everyone after a few weeks and then they reported to me that their breathing improved dramatically.

I went through the coughing thing when I quit cold turkey, but not so much when I quit again with e-cigs but I hadn't been smoking again as long so I may have gotten most of it out the first time around.

I never did and neither did my husband. Guess the quitting experience is a variable one!

Some do, some don't.

I didn't.

Although, as a smoker I sometimes did. I didn't have the post-cigarette cleansing that a lot of people go through.

I am coughing up a bit but just before I quit I was much worse.

I didn't "cough" anything up, but I DID have large amounts of phlegm to spit out, if that makes sense.

 

[stretchpants]

I haven't coughed.I must not have inhaled deeply because I never coughed when I smoked.I have a bit of a nosebleed every now and again but other than that I'm good.

I didn't expel anything after quitting. Smoked 1 PAD for 23 years. Often cleared my throat as a smoker, not any more.

 

[starrynight]

I didn't cough either, 20 years of marlboro lights menthol and didn't even have to clear my throat

I coughed up some little black chunks for about a week ... thought that was a bad thing ... after a few weeks, this gradually came to pass ...

I hope I don't cough up much. I have a weak stomach when it comes to taste and texture. Thank you all for the personal experiences, much appreciated. Now if only my packages would get here...(anyone with the super power of speeding up the USPS is welcome to intervene)

wow alot of people didnt cough stuff up . im totally different first month i hacked up big brown chunks of crap. now im about 18 months in and never cough and no more brown crap. smoked for 26 of my 40 years. after the brown crap stopped told my doctor wow i think my lungs are healing them selfs. he laughed and said yeah it will take another 10 years to go back to normal.

It is nice not to cough up all that nasty stuff up. I know many people that did not have to deal with the cough, but everyone's body is different.

I didn't think I was going to, but ended up with the quitters flu yesterday. My nose is running/stuffy, my cough is bad and I have some digestive problems....but I know it will all go away soon. I used my inhaler to loosen the stuff up and some cough syrup I had from my last bronchitis run to put me to sleep last night.

That being said, I am still using about 3-5 analogs a day. Just hope that it will settle down in the next couple days....but today I feel a bit better

I never coughed up stuff either...you would think I would have after 40+ years of smoking !
