Coughing with phlegm

[BlueSnake]

I smoked for almost 50 years. I am just now getting to the point of not coughing anymore. I think I had/have years of crap to get out of my lungs. Don't worry about allergic reactions yet, you have to allow yourself to adjust to vaping. The best advice you've received is to drink lots of water. That should take care of the sore throat and even help with clearing out the phlegm.

Don't get discouraged everyone goes through an adjustment period.

Realize within 2 days of quitting smoking the lung cilia begin regrowth. After years of being buried in tar and paralyzed by the chems in Tobacco (true fact) they're beginning to kick that nasty stuff to the curb. Here a list of juice ingredients and the effect they have on us

Juice Components
Flavoring usually about 15%- could be higher or lower depending on the flavor used.
PG enhances flavor, TH and lung hit- water like- many of us believe it to be a throat irritant
VG= vapor and can mute flavor- thick
Nicotine- TH, lung hit and our need for nicotine. The MOST important ingredient in regards to TH and lung hit.
Standards in the industry are 80/ 20 or 70/ 30 PG/ VG.
I used to vape 60/ 40 - 70/ 30 PG/ VG but am now vaping 2 mg nicotine..I had no TH so what I did was add some menthol and up my PG level to 85%. I now have TH...I know it's throat irritant from the PG but it gets me thru the day. Realize if raising your VG it "may" mute the flavor- some vendors offer extra flavor shots for this purpose.
Best of Luck.

It seems like every time i let an analog user try my mod they cough at the slightes toot, i remeber going through the same thing when i first started and then a lot of flem and it seems like i "cleared" out my lungs with a lot of flem, but an alergy to pg can be very bad and have seen someone get a nose bleed just from an 80/20 blend
