How long does it take to breath normal again, I know it's only been a few days for me and I was a heavy smoker 2-3 packs a day. So how long did it take you guys?

It took me a couple of days to tell I could breathe better, but then about 2 months to feel normal again. It happens in steps and is probably different in each person. When you hit a few months you should really feel a big difference.
Just depends on how long/much you used to smoke I suppose. I know after a few weeks, I could tell a huge difference while running. Ahhh
It took me a week and my ears became unplugged, then nose started feeling better, but within 2 days my mouth felt so much cleaner! AHH! And about a month I could run and walk and go upstairs without feeling out of breath all the time. It is awesome! Good luck! 
My mom is 73. She smoked 3-4 pks a day for 60 years has emphysema/copd. Her breathing was so bad before starting the ecigs that she could hardly get her breath. We saw a marked improvement the first week and the 2nd week was like a miracle. Hang in there.
im noticing small difference in my breathing but i was a pack a day to expensive in new york lol
Its been just over a month vaping for me, I also smoked 2-3 packs a day, and I breathe and sleep so much easier now. It was probably a week before there was a noticeable difference, but it was worth the wait. i can now run up the stairs in my house withut getting winded.
On a side note I tried a small puff off one of my brothers cigs yesterday, I cannot believe I thought they tasted good before now. It was beyond horrible.

Mine cleared up in a couple days and I smoked for 16 years. The rattle in my chest is gone, I'm not coughing and I can actually take deep breaths. My nose is still real stuffy though.
I quit coughing in just a few days... so nice to get up in the morning without hacking for ten minutes.
I smoked 2=3 packs a day for 40 years.
The coughing stopped within a week.
I go to respiratory therapy 3 times a week (emphysema, sarcadosis, COPD). My O2 sats used to average about 86. After 5 weeks they now are up to 90. My doctor has also taken me off two breathing medications already.
I will never be "normal" but the difference is amazing.

I'm not sure I even remember "normal", but I noticed I was breathing a lot easier after about the first week. I also realized after a while that I don't cough nearly as much as I used to.
Id say at least 10 days as I didnt stop smoking entirely until then, although I drastically reduced. SO - about 2 weeks in I suddenly noticed my cough had GONE and there was no chest rattle at night. Im stuck with the phelgm but Ill take phlegm over taht cough any day.
