Do You Vape When You're Sick???

[ValleyGirl]

I've been sick with the flu all week

Starting to feel a lil better today, and enjoying some of the menthol flavors, but for the last THREE days I have had no desire to vape. In fact, when I tried to on Monday evening, it made me nauseous.

Anyone else experience this? Just wondering, cause when I was smoking analogs - it didn't matter how sick I was, I SMOKED!!!

Funny thing is, I wasn't even having mad cravings the last couple days. I was just ...... because I wanted to use my new drip tips and couldn't, lol!!

That sort of funny. I haven't been sick yet -only vaping for two weeks though. I know what you're talking about though. I've had pneumonia before and felt like I was only breathing with 1/3 of my lung capacity, and I still had to smoke. Sad, but true. I think its a good sign you didn't HAVE to have anything while you were sick. I hope I get to that point with vaping. I would love to do it just for pleasure, and not just as a replacement for analogs.

I know, right??? I thought it was a good sign too! My husband asked me why I was vaping this morning if I was okay without it the last three days. My answer? "Because I bought all this STUFF!!!!!"

Valleygirl, I don't know about how sick you have been before, but if it was truly the flu, you probably so sick, you did 't care if you lived or died!!. I have only had the flu once, but I am sure I didn't smoke for several days, because I was soooo sick, I didn't have the energy to get out of bed to go smoke.

I hope you feel better soon!

I have vaped when I am sick on several occasions, its my preferred method for drying out my sinuses and lungs as I am afflicted with overproducing mucous membranes.

I was sick earlier this week actually, unfortunately a common occurrence for me, and had my kit in the bed next to me. Husband even brought it to the first morning before leaving for work! If I can't kiss him, at least I can kiss on my cartomizer!

If it's not TOO bad, I'll vape. I vape menthol 90% of the time anyway, and depending on what degree of sick I am, it sometimes help settle my stomach.

If my throat can't handle it, that's another thing. If the throat says no, no means no.

For the most part I vape when I'm sick. I recently had bronchitis so I cut it down substantially. Didn't notice any withdrawals.

The problem for me is when I have a cold and I can't taste anything, I continue to vape on a carto that has since burned, but I can't tell.

i vape when sick as well, but it depends on how sick, and usually only menthol is all i cant taste, but when im extremely sick i dont even have a desire to vape so i dont

Been sick this week, nasty cold and such. Been vaping all week, only bad part for me was the large order I got in yesterday that I'm going to wait to try since I can't really taste or smell anything right now

Other than that vaping some menthol or pepermint has seemed to help open me up alittle.

I find myself vaping less while sick unless I am asleep for most of the time then not at all really.

Seems to be the difference between the flu and a cold. In the past two years I have had 2 colds and vaped right thru them with menthol and peppermint..couldn't taste anything else! The colds didn't last as long and did not turn ito brochitis! yeah me!
But for a flu...I don't know..seems you are so much sicker and run a fever. You will feel better soon ( I hope) and then you will want your Nic nuck!

I've had not one serious cold since I started vaping. Many others report the same, with speculation re reasons - but I'm not about to make general claims tha these are even cure for the common cold. But it's great, and also sort of weird.
I vaped through a couple of vomiting flus - ecigs don't make me feel queasy. I'd be interested in other's experiences too.

Would love to give an opinion on this one, but haven't been sick in 4 years. I might get a cold every 6-8 years, but that's it.... Only health issues I get to deal with on a regular basis is my migraines......

 

[dijohn76]

Since I started vaping (almost 2yrs ago) I haven't had the flu or a cold and only one sinus infection (used to get 3 or 4 a year) The one and only sinus infection I still vaped, just couldn't taste anything!

 

[ValleyGirl]

Well, one thing I definitely noticed was that the nagging cough I seem to get that usually follows the flu (and ends up turning into bronchitis) DID NOT happen this time! WOO HOO!!! That means my lungs are recovering from the sad state they were in

Get well ValleyGirl! Being sick is no fun at all!

 

[ValleyGirl]

I feel much better today, guys...thanks

 

[Morandir835]
