Am I the only one?

[redsilverado2]

Been off analogs for 1 week now smell is coming back taste too but I am not coughing up any hairballs just a bit of speckled phlem now and again. I would think that after all these years I would be hacking up hairballs. I know it might sound strange but when I get the little bit of phlem I spit it into a napkin and inspect it to see what is in it that is how I see the brown specks. Did anyone else do this? Has anyone else had very little come out of thier lungs like I am getting ( or not getting as it were)?

There's been several who had very little, but I'd say it's a little early to say it isn't going to happen.

Congrats on the week.

I've had very little so far but some days it seems like I need to cough up more than I do - if that makes any sense.

 

[Lauralie]

I haven't had much but I don't wake up coughing in the morning anymore either so not producing anything. I am still pretty stuffy daily.

However, I did notice last night driving home that my singing has gotten alot nicer and I can go longer without taking a breath...LOL. Off the subject a little there but it's funny how you slowly notice little things you took for granted. Congratulations by the way!

I will be so happy when I hit a week... I hope to get taste and smell back.How long were you smoking cigs for?

 

[redsilverado2]

I smoked for 37 yrs with a couple of 6mo breaks. Smoked plenty of non tobacco products too if ya know what I mean.

 

[Goldenkobold]

I had no bad coughing up of lungs...

I did have a tingly throat coming off of menthols but I heard that was normal quitting menthols anyway. (and of course moving to vaping which also gives your throat a tingling feeling to start out)

Congrats on the week. I didn't cough up a whole lot of anything either, but within a couple of weeks I noticed that I wasn't wheezing at night anymore and could actually laugh without coughing. It's a great feeling!

 

[redsilverado2]

Yeah wolf have noticed the lack of wheezing and swear as I was singing in the car my notes were getting better. I used to sing in school and a band and could do Journey & Yes songs back in the day but I haven't been able to hit a high note for quite some time. I sang some Alice Cooper at a haloween party and had to stop to cough every so often I would really like to pick up my guitar and sing again I hope I can.

I notice how well I breathe when I go to bed....No wheezing and I can breathe through my nose! I do cough a few times in the morning but its more sinus' than anything.

 

[letsrock0303]

Funny enough I have been off analogs for a month and I haven't had a cough at all. my breathing has improved 100-fold but no cough. Can't say I'm sad about it either lol.

Same with me, been off analogs just about a month (was a 2 pad smoker) and not one cough! No complaints here!

 

[WomanOfHeart]

I only coughed for a couple of days after I'd been off the analogs for about a week. That sure as hell beats coughing up a lung in the morning and feeling like my chest was going to explode. I was just waiting for an Alien to pop out. Thank the gods that never happened!

10 months into vaping. I had almost nothing ... no hairballs either. Had a LOT last week, but that was from a chest cold.

Kinda odd, if you ask me. I had a smoker's cough. When I laid in bed, I could hear wheezing in my chest. But, no significant purging when I quit smoking.

 

[dormouse]

My sinuses and breathing got noticeably better almost right away. I coughed a bit the first couple of days but I think that was mostly dry mouth/throat from starting to vape. My sinuses are MUCH better when I wake up so I'm not coughing in the morning. I seem hungrier so I have to watch that! Also food tastes more/better.

 

[wave42]

no significant purging when I quit smoking.

None here either. I lost my morning cough within the first couple of weeks and have been cough free ever since.

 

[BuzzKilla]

day one... reading all this is kinda scaring me a bit, but its better than the previous alternative.

 

[Denrock316]

It's been a little over 2 months now since I've had an analog. I had a little bit of a smoker's cough but it went away in the first couple days off analogs. My breathing has improved a lot and I never coughed up anything. My sinuses have cleared up a lot too. I can smell someone smoking if they just have a window open from about 100yds and never even see them. I notice a lot more bad smells now, but a lot more good ones too so I guess that evens out. Food tastes great now, most anyway lol. Occasionally I will have a very minor cough or 2 my very first vape after waking, but then the vapor from my eGo is pretty big and thick.

PS- I almost forgot about it but the first week or so off of analogs I had a terribly runny nose. At times it was quite watery and would just drip like a leaky faucet. How I almost forgot about this I do not know I had to carry around a box of puffs everywhere and at times it was really annoying.

 

[xg4bx]

i never had phlegm, whatever was rattling around in my lungs just went away.

This is the one that is getting costly for me. All of those years of breathing with my mouth wide open, I had no idea that I had a tendency to clench and grind my teeth at night. Just had my first major dental bill last week for that one. Oh well, better than a major medical bill for the alternative.
