Appetite suppression and coughing.... any idea why?

[helleybelley]

Hey everyone. I've been vaping for about two weeks now, and I am curious if anyone has had the same experience as me. I quit smoking a pack a day years ago and would only smoke an occasional "analog" cigarette or two a week, if that. I smoked hookah almost every day, but I really didn't inhale all that much and the nicotine in the shisha is very low. Since I've started vaping, I quit smoking analogs and hookah altogether, but since I wasn't really addicted to either my experience with starting e-cigs is probably very different from most. I'm vaping an eGo-T using what I think is a very low amount of nicotine (6mg or less per tank). I'm mixing 80/20 e-liquid without nicotine with 11mg 100% PG e-liquid. I had no issues with coughing when smoking full strength analog cigarettes, but whenever I smoke a tank with 6mg+ of nicotine, it's almost impossible to do without coughing!! And I have yet to feel a "buzz" from it, so I don't know what that's about. Also, I've noticed that my appetite has gone down signifigantly - which is great for me because I'm trying to lose weight, but I'm curious as to why that's happening. Anyone have any idea why the e-liquid is making me cough and why I barely have an appetite anymore?

try using a 50/50 mix, it works fine in my ego-t, too much PG was the culprit in my case of coughing when I took a hefty drag. As far as the appetite suppresion, you are one of the lucky ones as I gained almost 15 pounds in the last couple months.Still happy I swithced though.

It would make sense if the PG was causing it, because I've tried smoking a 9m e-cigarette with full strength cartos with no issues with coughing, although I have no idea what the PG/VG ratio was. I don't know, for some reason I have a fear that I am drowning my lungs with the liquid or something...

You won't, either. That was mostly the carbon dioxide, is my understanding.

Honestly, I rarely got a buzz from analogs either. If I hadn't had a lot to eat or if I had a lot to drink I might get a buzz, but other than that, nothing. Nicotine gum though... man. That stuff gives me a HUGE buzz. It tastes horrible and makes me queasy, though.
