Anyone Coughing!

[Vape On]

Hope the title attracted you here. I am three weeks new to vaping and just loving it! I am the proud owner of a couple of eGo's. I have been analog free now for two and half weeks and will not be going back. My questions is this, I can vape all day long and not cough or even get a tickle in my throat. I vape Freedom Smoke USA Pina Colada Pre-Mixed with 12mg nicotine. When I go to bed, after about an hour of sleep I awake to a really terrible tickle in my throat that makes me cough for 30-60 minutes. Has anyone else experienced this and if so or if not, does anyone have any thoughts as to why I get this only when I go to sleep and what can I do about it? Thanks for the help and input!

I have not had that problem and I chain vape all day long, Do make sure you are drinking extra water. Sorry I am not more helpful.

Gave up my cough with the analogs.
Do you cough with other flavors, might be slight reaction to
a particular flavor component?

It may be that the tickle is always there but you can't feel it due to numbing by the nicotine you're still getting, and therefore feel it when the nic wears off.

You don't mention if you quit analogs 3 weeks ago, drastically cut down or what, but the respiratory tract in general can do a lot of healing, regeneration and renewed vigor in the weeks after stopping or even drastic reduction in tobacco smoke exposure. That can result in a lot of tickling.

I am drinking plenty of water and other liquids, more than I usually do. I also have, cherry, peppermint, and mango. They are all a 50/50 mix with Vg and Pg. I never coughed like this with analogs. Maybe being new to all this.......something in my system just needs to get use to the vaping and maybe I am still purging all the gunk out of my lungs from 30 years of smoking!

Just read over the weekend all about the body and it's recovery process after quitting smoking. Can't remember where, though. Maybe on a Discovery site? It wasn't hard to find. Long story short, the cleaning process is probably kicking back to life. If it's not too severe see what happens in a couple more days. As always, when in doubt, see your doctor.

 

[Vape On]

Yes, I am totally analog free and loving every minute of it!

When in doubt, see a doc, as Jonny wisely points out, but my take on it is that you are experiencing healing process. Like when you have a cut that won't heal for a while and then it starts to and it itches.

I wish I WAS coughing. I like that hardcore lung wrecking throat hit.

Sorry I forgot to add actual advice about your problem

Okay, I know exactly what you're talking about with the tickle. It causes some violent coughing and can be really annoying, I know. But I have only experienced this in two situations. The first was of course when I quit all together, for the following month after quitting I started coughing in the middle of the night just like you. Second scenerio is when I'm just getting over a cold. The cause of this is from your lungs trying to expel a mucus lining from being sick or smoking. Your lungs will coat themselves to protect from toxins and bacteria when you're sick or in this case, a smoker. Now that your lungs no longer need that coating, your body needs to get rid of it. Thus why you're coughing. The tickle would be the brain's way of stimulating the cough. Well, this is how it was explained to me by my ENT. I guarentee it will be gone within the next 2 weeks.

Your lungs constantly have a mucus lining. Whether a person is smoking, sick, or a healthy non smoker it doesn't make a difference. But smoking does cause excess mucus production. The mucus is hardened by smoke. That's why many smokers experience a cough when quitting. It is the mucus softening up. Generally a personal will experience coughing in the first month or two. Then they get another round of coughing around six months as the cilia regrow and the lungs can better handle mucus.

Now I am not a doctor but from the sounds of this tickle you probably have and have had an infection in your larynx, trachea, or pharynx. The good thing is that now that you aren't smoking it will probably sort itself out. Make sure you are drinking plenty of fluid.

Hi! Well, I have been analog free for one month so far. I did not have any coughing up until a day or two ago and I think I may be getting a cold. The 'tickling' happens alot and that is my sign to drink more water. I didn't have an immediate cough after stopping the cigs so I think it is the cold coming on, however, I do have some juices that somewhat irritate my throat but I think it's the way I'm hitting it and not the juice itself. At night, I tend to vape alot more and I'm irritating my throat but I love it so much....

Perhaps you are sensitive/allergic to PG aka propylene glycol. It can cause lung/throat irritation. I have heard of it causing a tickling sensation. Perhaps try a VG e-liquid and see what happens.

Get Vaporbomb's black perique flavor. It is almost unvapable for me. Throat hit = ridiculous.

During the day when vaping and when I am not I have not been coughing. But I guess I cough a lot at night when I am sleeping. Or so my roommate say. He says he can hear me from his room. LOL I did not know you could cough while you are asleep.

 

[Neemy]

Yeah, this happened to me when I first started. I was fine all day, but then I'd wake up at 4 am coughing until I gagged. Really weird. I've increased my water intake, though, and haven't had the problem in about 2 weeks, now. For some reason, when I stopped smoking, I stopped carrying around a water bottle with me, and would just vape all day long (oral fixation??). Now I've got my water bottle with me again at all times. I guess it was dehydration with me, but I guess it could have just been adjusting to being smoke-free. Or a combination of both.

During the first 30-60 days or so after quitting the analogs there are lots of things that will (could) happen as your body adjusts to the absence of tobacco. Coughing during the night is your lungs clearing themselves as you are relaxed. It will pass with time. Once your body has finally rid itself of the tobacco congestion, the coughing will stop.

Congratulate yourself, you are making good progress!

No problem with coughing vaping personally. I do however sneeze using pepper and cry when slicing onions. Perhaps onions need a study to see if safe...

 

[vivictus]

I have this exact same problem. I still smoke a tad (1-3 a day) and generally in the morning I will have a bit of a cough and just a couple times during the day. At night however it's the worst with that tickling and then waking up for a half hour at a time, a few times a night, just coughing. I found something that seems to help me... First off, keep a bottle of water by the bed and when youw ake up with a cough, take a few decent swallows of it. Then take a few hits off your PV. Just drinking water never seemed to help me but over the last few days, doing this has strangely seemed to work much better. Maybe it's a reaction to the nicotine leaving the system quicker due to how we're getting it now? I don't know, but maintaining a few puffs here and there in the middle of the night a couple times seems to help me get back to sleep without the cough for a while.

I agree with Neemy that it is a combo of things. The elimination of smoking analogs and the lack of water. You must drink lots of water or else your skin will become really dry. REALLY dry. I can't speak for all ladies out there but my skin needs extra doses of moisturizer every single day. These ecigs REALLY dry your skin out. On the flip side, my hair has NEVER looked better! It feels great and looks much thicker and healthier. Anybody else notice their hair has really pepped up since they quit? Mine has, definitely! Anyway, it's all good.

I haven't thought about it affecting my hair... normally I blow dry it straight but the last couple months I have gotten compliments on the days I've let it dry naturally and it gets wavy. Those used to be my "bad hair" days. Wow, interesting!

I have noticed I am going through lip balm like CRAZY. Cherry Chapstick and Nivea are not going out of business any time soon because of me!
