Converting My Dad to vaping, and heavy chest feeling from vaping.

[plastictree]

My dad tried vaping a while ago. He went with green smoke. They have a nice set up even though way too overpriced. Well my dad couldn't do it. His chest felt like it was heavy, or like a brick on his chest. I get that too sometimes. Maybe if we can figure out how to stop this heavy chest thing I can get him on vaping. Any ideas?

Try a little less VG in your juices. Vg is what I have found to give that feeling.

How long has he been smoking for?

I got that feeling at first too but it has gone away...I always chocked it up to the vapor loosening up all the crud that was rooted deep within my lungs, but i'm not completely sure.

maybe I can get a good 50/50 blend and see if he likes that, most of my stuff has more vg. And he's been smoking for probably over 30 years.

I would see if you can get 70/30 mix most places will do for you if you just ask. And drink plenty of water to that helps.

This happens to my wife as well no matter what the PG/VG is

I talked to the owner of electrickstix today and he told me it happens to a lot of guys when they first start
and it will wear off over time, my first day vaping was the same, my chest felt almost congested.

He told me the best way to prevent it was to take smaller smoother type drags.

i never got the heavy chest feeling but i did feel like i was getting sick. I found out i was vaping to many flavors and a bit to much because i didnt know when to stop cuz it doesnt die out like an analog does lol. I agree with drinking water. Some juices dry your mouth out more than others and i feel i need a sip of water after im done vaping all the time.

This happens to me when I vape high% VG juices.

I get that too but I haven't figured out yet if it is too much PG or too much VG.

Agree with the VG. If I try to vape a 50/50 mix I get the heavy chest. I went to 70PG/30VG and all was good.
