It's pretty common when giving up cigarettes : http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...hen-quitting-tobacco-changing-ecigarette.html
Absolutely. I still cough up tar every once in awhile. I've been vaping for 2.5 years now. It's a good thing to hack up that asphalt.
Xsmokers flu. I got a bit of that. But it can't hurt for your friend to see a doctor. What I think happens is the little hair thingies in our lungs wake up and try to push out all the crud we put into them. But they should get it checked out. I am not a Doctor. I don't think I'm God. LOL
I have a friend who says just after a weeks of no tobacco and into vaping hes coughing up black tar and gunk from his lugs,he was a 2 pk/day smoker,anyone ever go tru this??
yes,me my wife and several friends experienced the same thing when we switched to e-cigs.we can all breath much better now

I, too was a heavy smoker and coughed up gunk every morning for about 3 months. It was disgusting, but I'm glad it's out. Some people expel through coughing, but not everyone. So the phrase ymmv definitely applies here.
I was a very heavy smoker and I've been worried because I didn't get the cough. I think I would feel better knowing that I had gotten some of that tar out but it never happened. Good sign or bad. I'm just hoping for the best at this point.
Coughed up stuff for 2 months after 1 pack a day, the last 2 weeks may have been the worst. Have been clean for 2 months other than this cold i got=(. 4 months off analogs though feeling a lot better
My Wife just started coughing out tar after 2 1/2 years. Everyone is different. I think it depends on the silia damage. They do grow back.
Yeah, I quit December 3rd and have just begun coughing up brownish/black phlegm. It's not very pleasent tasting, sounds disgusting to others and is generally not a good time. It's a good sign though, and I'll be glad I got past it.
I experienced thick discolored mucus in the first few months as well. Eventually it stopped and I was glad to get rid of the "morning hack."
yea i was coughing up some tar for a good 6 months after 20 years of smoking mostly it was just the first two months then after that it was like once or twice a day and smaller pieces.
Do you think it could still happen after 3 years of vaping? Started smoking when I was very young and 35 years later I quit a 2+ PAD habit when I started vaping. A miracle for me. But it does bother me that I never coughed anything out. I feel so much better and I'm just thankful for vaping and having the support of my family and this great vaping community.
i was a pack and a half to 2 packs a day smoker. Just hit 10 weeks of no cigs and this started happening to me last week. It is a good thing. after 23 years of smoking its going to take me a bit to get them all cleaned out.....Worth it though
LOL I sped up the process. After 1-2 months off analogs and I started caughing up lung-cookies one day in the shower. I bent over at the waist so my head was just over my knees and forced myself to cough (loosening/dislodging the junk) again. Over the next week during my morning shower I coughed up some pretty sizable gross lung-cookies, but was able to better get them out of my system alot faster than if I didn't. It's been well over 2 years since I have coughed anything up for any reason.
Short answer, the material that is being coughed up is caused by years of smoking. We cough it up intermittently (as smokers) all the time. Quitting smoking allows the lungs to partially heal themselves, and the body expell the foreign matter. (That is no longer being replentished daily!!!

When I first quit... yucky. Some of the stuff that came up that seemed to be obviously trapped in my lungs for maybe years.
Keep in mind, coughing up phlegm occasionally is normal( as long as it's clear, yellow/green means infection like maybe you're getting a flu). I always thought I only coughed up phlegm because I smoked.
