coughing question when i puff

[cormbread]

is it normal to take a hit and start coughing? after a few puffs it goes away but i am trying to quit analogs all together and when i go a hour or so and want a analog i reach for my vape and get a really good caugh at first. when i do break down and have a analog no caugh? any clues?

just curious

i am vaping red bull 36mg from dfw vapor. but it does it on my blueberry and kahlua flavor too so it is all flavors.

Sounds like you're probably direct-inhaling. Try inhaling indirectly (first into mouth and then into lungs, rather than straight into lungs). Kinda like when you first started analogs, it takes a bit to get used to. You'll also want to have a drink handy to combat the dry throat that vaping tends to give ya.

Also you didn't say if all of your liquids are 36mg.
If so you may be using too high of a nicotine strength.

I second that. I was having the same problem as the O.P.

I had the same problem with 36 mg and still do (occasionally) with 24 mg if I draw in the vapor too hard.

Your mouth and lungs might be getting too much unvaporized mist and that could be causing you to cough.

Try a slower draw (allowing the atty to do its job a bit better) and see if that works after one of your normal breaks.

I would definitely recommend considering a lower nic amount. When I started vaping, I ordered 18 mg juice (Yeah, yeah, lightweight, I know), and I had your same problem. I downgraded to 11 mg, and have had a much easier time with it.

Also, this may seem obvious, but just take it easy when you start your vape session. Don't take massive drags right off the bat, ease yourself in. I find that the longer I've been vaping, the more vapor I can handle at a time. Hope this helps!

will try that. just easing into it.

after 5 or 6 puffs i am good then i get to a point where i am hitting it long and will cough again. so i will try it and see..

also this is a 510 atty on a lil chuck so the hit is massive on long draws. will try a lower nic level and being easy

I think we may have found the problem

510 mods produce huge clouds. I have to take it easy on the first few hits from my protege too.

Cormbread, The 510 atty made me cough too. But since I went to the penstyle exclusively and VG only liquid I have not had one problem.

where to get good vg only juice...
.
i will never give up the lil chuck. i get a day and a half on one battery charge.

\Ahhh I saw coffee .... chuck on thagbuilt, that is one of my favorites

It is probably the 36mg combined with the Chuck bieng the sxxx

I don't remember the exact circumstances, let alone the thread, but this came up before and someone said that analogs had "smoothers" in them that e-liquid did not, so that the equivalent "hit" from a PV would make you cough where a cigarette would not, because your cough response was being artificially suppressed by the "smoothers" added to the cigarette.

I do know that there are days when the Vaping Gods smile on me, the vapor is perfect, the atty is the right temp and steaming away flawlessly for hour after blissful hour of the batt not dying..and I SWEAR those will be the days I will cough...I think its my sheer enthusiasm on those blissful days!

I agreed with several of the comments, too high of a nic juice can do it and if you are a beginner that is also a reason. When I first started I would cough also and I was using 24mg nic juice. After about 2 weeks the cough went away. As was mentioned the juice has a tendency to dry you out so do keep a drink near by.

i love my .... lol.... i went to my old atty and have noticed i dont cough but i have noticed less vapor....

my problem is a good atty but i am taking smaller draws on the new atty and have almost no cough

I tend to have a hard time starting out in the mornings. The first few hits kinda hurt my throat and make me cough. Once I get going, I'm fine through out the day. Once in awhile I get a killer hit off my 5V and I'll cough. I pretty much use only 36mg and 48mg liquids. I have tried several different mgs and flavors. It hasn't made any difference in my morning gag lol.
