coughing while vaping

[electricbamboo]

Every now and then (happens more frequently than I'd like) I have a coughing fit after taking a puff. It doesn't happen all the time - when it doesn't, my vapes are smooth and satisfying. It's so unpredictable though, I've even resorted in buying a pack of analogs just so I've got something for when it does happen. Not ideal at all.

Here are my deets:
mouth to lung inhaler
setup: MVP 3 Pro with Starre tank running the .25 ohm coil at 60 watts - not a super warm vape, got the airflow wide open
juice: currently it's BPM by drip beats at 3mg can't find what PG/VG ratio it is

not sure what other info would be useful. Any suggestions/ideas as to what could cause this are most appreciated. Seasonal allergies perhaps?

oops meant direct to lung inhaler

I occasionally get that but it's very rare. Almost like it went down the wrong pipe.

Happens too lots of folks...err at least it happens to me on occasion. It even happens sometimes when I do a mouth to lung hit I always thought it was related to PG but it also happens when I mix thicker juices.

Could be the diketones...

Price you pay for makin clouds. Could always turn it down 8)

 

[electricbamboo]

Changed juices and so far so smooth.

 

[electricbamboo]

Spoke too soon. Just coughed a bunch and almost threw up. even turned the wattage down. What's wrong with me!?

 

[IMFire3605]

1) Wattage to high for a MTL hit, vapor is to dense and warm, not enough airflow to keep the coil cool enough
2) Having been vaping a while I've gone through what will cause me to choke or not depending on wattage, pg/vg ratio, and air flow, certain liquid flavors even when previous stated variables are adjusted for will choke me up. Myself I've identified, Blue Raspberry, Pineapple, certain peach flavors, butter scotch, pomegranate, and grape will choke me up, feels like a wet dart to the back of the throat the first few initial vapes that get me, keep vaping it subsides, but set the vape aside a bit then pick it back up, back to the wet tickling dart sensation again.

Could be the juice, regardless of the diketone content - there's one popular brand of juice that I liked well enough taste-wise, but even in a low-powered Nautilus, it would just rip my lungs out. Have you tried mouth-to-lung instead of the direct lung? That would sometimes help me when the coughing jags were hitting... In my case I suspect it was the PG content, perhaps even the specific PG that brand uses. I don't seem to have the same problem with any brand of higher VG juices.

I had the exact thing happen to me. Turned out to be the "PG" It irritates my throat. Try some higher "VG" Liquid.

You really need to READ UP and stop the Scare tactics.
ohhhhhhhhhh Suspicious..........why, oh because it said Ice Cream

60 watts and an improper inhale are more likely.

Diketones Take years to possibly contribute to any issues even with heavy exposure. Look at Case/exposure rates.

Smooth butter...

Only happens when I'm trying to get my last vape while walking through the parking lot on my way into work...I always look around to see if anyone noticed. I blame it on vaping while walking, which I guess I don't do very much. Makes sense in my head

This has to be the most craziest statement I have ever heard. No not ideal, buy some cough sweets or something, drink some water but to buy some cigarettes, that my friend, is crazy, especially if your trying to stop smoking, why would you do that? Your cough is probably more to do with smoking and then vaping, your body has to adjust.

You may also be sensitive to PG, buy some high or max VG juice and see if that helps..

 

[coolerat]

I think your getting the idea but to add,

PG. It makes me cough. To much and its right away but even at smaller amounts if I don't cough right away I soon will as its very drying.

 

[ReigntheGamer]

VG makes me cough like you describe, experiment with both and see which one it is for you. PG isn't as scary as most of the forum makes it out to be.

 

[dionysuskiss]

Since you bougt a pack of cigs, does that mean you are a duel user? Or did you buy it "just in case"? It is unclear, in your statement. If you are using both, that's not going to help you adjust to vaping. Also, knowing your pg/vg ratio is very important. It could mean either a) you are sensitive to pg or vg. Or b) heavy vg can "coat" or irritate your throat or lungs. This is especially true if you are prone to asthma. And sub-ohming compounds the issue. Where did you get your juice? It should be easy enough to search the site, or ask about the blend. Same goes for a b&m, if you got it there. If need be, you can then adjust accordingly.

I found that different setups made me cough a lot, but learned that those that didn't make me cough were just as enjoyable.
So I don't use clearo tanks of any kind, use 2.0 ohm coils instead of 0.2 ohm coils. and mouth to lung inhale.
An airy draw will make me cough every time.

 

[Alien Traveler]

I never coughed because of smoking. I do cough occasionally because of vaping. Even with non flavored juice, but flavors can make things worse.
