Chest tightness and coughing at night only after vaping.

[Dana Galvez]

Hi everyone,
I’m new to this forum and I’m trying to see if anyone else has had this issue. I was a 1 to 1 1/2 pack smoker of cigarettes for 30 years. Luckily, I was able to quit using the ecig!!! My start date was April 8th. I use the Smok Noro. The juice in the pod last me approx over 24 hours depending and I’m using the salt mic creamy ro Which I think is not very much considering others I know that vape much more than I do. So it’s been a little over 4 months since I’ve been vaping and I DO the MTL method. Well, about a week ago be noticed after vaping one night my chest is very tight and I had a sort of itching internally. I continue to have this happen but only at night. During the day I feel fine when vaping. I’ve also noticed I started producing some phlegm thst I spit up as well. Never had this before except when I was smoking cigarettes. What could possibly be going on?? I need some answers please. If you are experiencing this too please chime in. Thanks in advance...Dana

Hi Dana and welcome! It's not unusual for a smokers cough to take several months to resolve. You also typically cough more when you are early in vaping as the lining of your airways start working properly as clearing all the secretions and crap that accumulated over 30 years of smoking.

That said, you did smoke for 30 years, and some lung damage is inevitable. Any new cough in a smoker or ex-smoker should be evaluated by your doctor. That's the place to get helpful information for your personal health. Getting health advice on a public forum is fraught with danger.

Congrats on making the switch, and I hope you feel better.

Hi Dana. The cough could also be from the flavoring in the juice. Does it happen with a different flavor? Or maybe you need a different level of PG vs VG.

I had the same problem when I first started using tanks. It's very VERY important to clean your gear regularly. Tanks whenever you swap out the wick and drip tips at least once a day. I keep a pair of small PET spray bottles on my desk, one with alcohol and one with purified water for rinsing, on my desk to remind me.

...so a few months ago. Should be right in the range where the odd effects of your body clearing cigarette gunk from your body should be at its peak.

@sonicbomb ’s point is interesting though. That kind of thing starts to smell like AstroTurf unless you didn’t get any replies. Didn’t get answers you found advantageous to your point?

I get a tightness in my scrotum every time I buy vape gear I don't need.

That’s a shineyitis symptom I’ve never heard before.

I could also imagine it happening if it's hot and humid where you are. Topping off the humid air with steam...

If I read the OP post right you are using nic salts? Nic salts make me cough and feel tight in the chest if I vape too much of it. Maybe try some regular e liquid with some high nicotine content to get the nic you need.

Maybe it's related to size. I'm only little.

Welcome and glad you joined.
Number one, see a doctor if problems persists. Might like to read the following and pay particular attention too Section 1: Medical symptoms of tobacco cessation and Section 2: Vaping-related issues.

You may be getting to much nicotine, do you get a little headache too?
If it keeps happening you my wish to see a doctor.
