Hello I'm not sure if anyone will be reading this but I'm trying to possibly help save some of my fellow vapor artists ... Ok so check this out I vape and I am normally healthy but I do vape everyday more than 3 times before lunch than after through out my whole day I vape i have vaped many different mods and non mech mods egos I have vaped all different kinds of atomizers tanks RDA ETC while enjoying my vapor I Sometimes noticed a weird feeling if vaping constantly or chain vaping it's like my lungs kinda freezes for a moment while the vapor was in my lungs like my lungs needed to reboot sometimes It seems once the vapor escaped my lungs they feel normal! So I continue to vape every day thinking its a normal feeling but today around 10 am while at work and finishing a nice session of vaping I noticed that same lung freeze felling like my lung has no room for air the feeling was temporary before but today it was different the feeling stayed and stayed by the time 12pm lunch time came around my upper back was in severe sharp pain my right lung had pain and it was so difficult to walk or finish a long sentence because I was out of breath!! Not good !! After debating with myself I finally decided to see the doctor I'm sure you could imagine my reaction after my chest X-ray results it was a [removed] Colapsed lung I Colapsed my favorite lung my right lung so next in comes my chest tube after my visit to my local ER a thank you to them . Now I am writing this post at 2 am because I can't sleep because of lack of oxygen I have a chest tube in my chest and a Colapsed lung . Now, I am not a doctor and I am not saying that my Colapsed lung is because of vapor but I can tell you that the feeling I felt as if my lungs were freezing or stalled temporally was the feeling I felt and still feel . It was my lung wanting to collapse during heavy vapor usage sessions no joke , now the causes of lungs collapsing from what I found suggest heavy Smoking and Spontaneous pneumothorax now this accures mostly in young male adults whom are tall and skinny but to be honest im not that tall and I'm not too skinny I'm like 185lbs 5 foot 7 and I'm 27 although I am a former smoker I have been using only vapor and tons of it for the past 2 years . I love vapor it has many beautiful flavors taste it's better than burning tobacco and don't forget that nice throat hit honestly I REALLY LOVE VAPING I'm not trying to tell people don't vape but I wanted to get this out to anyone who is foolish to believe that vapor has no dangers I will most likely continue to vape until we have more studies proving us vaporists wrong but I write this because I want people to start realizing vapor is not as harmless as we all constantly try to prove and I hope I can save a lung or hey maybe 50 lungs or someone's life at least from the same horrible lung collapse that I just experienced today it's sucks to be hooked up to thise machines with tubes running through me and I was cut open and have a tube coming out of my chest for a few days not to mention this is for something that I refused to believed was harmless. If my Colapsed lung was spontaneous that would be the worst and so far most painful uncomfortable And "coincidental/ random happening " in my life ! Now I must rehabilitate my lung and be cautious for life : ( or risk another collapse no [removed] thank you if anyone takes anything from this I just hope they will slow down on vaping think of your fragile lungs they are not iron and find a better system and or time to vape so its not a constant accurace don't vape as much smoking too much of anything that is not naturally occurring like air can and may cause some scary and seriouse health problems . I hope that I can learn to limit my vapor consumption after my lung repairs and help you as well if your readiness this article.
