Bad news... good news

[Astronomer]

The bad news is that I was quite a bit sicker than I thought I was, settled into my chest, and I am only now recovering. Really rotten luck that this happened just as I start testing out my Ego-T

It was alarming enough that I stopped using the Ego as I didn’t want my mind connecting how terrible I feel and not breathing well with the change in my smoking habits. So the bad news is that I have been smoking instead of vaping for the last couple of days.

The Good news is that I am starting to feel better, and that I felt so bad that for the last couple of days I have only had about 3 or 4 cigarettes a day ( usually a pack a day smoker )

At work today ( probably shouldn’t be, still nearly coughing up my lungs ) but am feeling a little better and starting to wean myself back over to vaping.

I know it was silly, you don’t have to tell me that, but I didn’t want my mind associating my upper chest infection with this change. It is a mental game I had to play with myself.

Ego working great, found a liquid that closely simulates ( somewhat anyway ) the cigarettes I smoke ( it actually tastes quite a bit better ) and getting back on track today. Ego tanks filled, Batteries charged, getting funny looks from people.... here we go!

Surprised you can even smoke, had the same thing last week. Just a cough now. I completely understand about not wanting to associate vaping with illness. Take your time, get better, and you will get there. Hope you feel better really soon so you can fully enjoy and appreciate vaping. Hang in there.

I'm glad your feeling better!! It is all a mental thing I don't think vaping will hurt you if your sick I too had a chest cold but kept right on vaping and my recovery time was impressive compared to when I smoked analogs.

The really funny part is, the cigarettes didn’t taste very good at all ( and I really enjoy smoking )

Looking forward to getting back to vaping, and I had only done it for a single evening.

I hope that is a good sign.

It seems to be going around these parts too. My husband and I were both sick last week and my two daughters are sick this week. Everyone I've been in contact with over the last week or so is having some kind of respiratory gunk to deal with. I just have the cough to deal with now too but it's not bad.

Hope you feel better soon so you can get back to trying out your new gear.

I feel you though, the e-cigs even rougher with illness and sorethroats than regular smokes...Smoking cigs with bronchitis was genius...It went down with no trouble and made me feel alive and relaxed and what not..Tried an e-cig with a sore throat once and NEVER again...It's just one of those things, a tiny little con hiding in the greatness of e-butts

Glad you are feeling better. What liquid and what did you used to smoke?

Smooth from Blue Mist

However the Blue Mist website say they are not going to be able to ship any orders before March f1st as they are moving from a home operation to an actual store front ( business is good I guess )

so... I am looking around for a good menthol flavor for myself in the mean time

I like the 80%pg 20%VG and 24mg nic but am willing to experiment

I have juice for a week I suppose.... but want a larger bottle of Menthol
