Hello guys, did any of you guys go cold turkey on e cigs? If you did can you please tell me your symptoms?

I only did 3s (the least i'd do id 6s) and I have vaped for three years (Cloud chaser). I also vape at high wattages like 60-120w I decided to hang up my mod after I had a mild chest pain that lasted three days but, it was two weeks ago. It was nothing major and didn't hurt when i was breathing deeply. I also had shortness of breath when I vaped. So i decided to go could turkey. The first 2-3 days i was dead tired and i thought it was because the nicotine was leaving my head and for a couple of days it felt like someone put weight on the right side of my chest (it didn't hurt and it was mild) but it also stopped within two days. Then the next day til now im coughing up mucus its kind of white and clear. Im not coughing up blood. The cough is on and off it isnt persistant or gets worse. I read online that it maybe because my cilia is going back to normal. Can someone please share ther cold turkey experience because im totally freaking out about lung cancer.

See a doctor, send me the nurse.

Stopping ecigs is dead easy as you reduce your nicotine levels, because what happens is you just vape less.

There is not the same cold turkey withdrawal as with tobacco, you don't notice it at all. But if you think you are ill, get seen.

Did you vape high VG? Sounds like it with the clear phlegm. Coughing up nasty phlegm is typical after quitting smoking. Same could be true of those who don't do well with VG, it gave me that.
