[jimbill]

Hello went to the ER because of some chest pain had an xray done and showed i had mild copd im in shock here had no clue only 39 years old can't believe this .Well i need help from some fellow members who also suffer from copd how do you vape vg vs pg flavored vs unflavored? right now im vaping allmost 5 ml of pure vg nic at 18mg and 20% flavoring from tpa thinking on going flavorless .Side note the doctor gave a thumbs up to vaping so happy thank you everone.

I have mild copd and I use pg/vg of 80/20. The higher vg concentrations bother me. Might just be personal pref as I prefer TH My doc can't believe how clear my lungs are now Best of luck. I can't give up flavors.

Sounds as if you should try different mixes from different suppliers. Also, 20% flavoring is on the high side, and the flavoring is the unknown in the equation. You might try minimum flavoring and bite the bullet, you only have one health, and once it's gone, it's gone. Hard to say what caused the COPD but it's best to play safe.

Try another mix for a week, then a week on a different one. People can be intolerant to various kinds of PG and VG, although VG variants seem to be more of an issue. Heavy flavors are a bad idea though if you have any sort of lung issues.

Up your nic dosage....5 ml a day is higher than average, and to me it says you're liquid isn't strong enough. Try going up to 24 mg or even 30 mg so that you don't have to vape as often.
