Ever tried vaping when you have a cold?

I do what some of the other's were saying, lower nic and heavy on the vg. If it we're to get real bad then I would stop inhaling for awhile and give my throat a break. Haven't had a problem so far though.

Don't inhale when you're sick. You absorb the nic through your mouth and nasal passages more so than your lungs anyway, so no need to stress your throat and lungs.

I just vape less, cuz mostly I'm after the flavor. Next time I'll probably vape the junk I don't want, cuz i won't be able to taste it.

greenman, I realize this is off-topic, but I just have to ask: do you listen to a musician called Celldweller? Your av is very reminiscent of his album artwork.

Back on topic: I'll give the not-inhaling-but-just-mouth-holding technique a try.

Yes I just found out my cold was causing all my problems with juice tasting like crap. Idk if I can handle it again. Please no more colds

So update time, the cold is finally -- finally! -- gone and I can vape normally again! In other good news, a buddy of mine brought over some MBV juice (Cafe Coffee, 36mg, 80/20 "house blend") and I'm fairly certain that it wasn't the PG in Halo juices that I'm sensitive to, as even Mt. Baker's 80/20 is thicker (therefore probably higher VG percentage) than Halo's, and it wasn't more inhale-able than the Halo juices I've got.

Incidentally, that leads me to believe that Halo's juices are probably close to 100% PG.

Turns out, I can't do it. I take a drag and my throat goes entirely nuts, turns into a coughing jag. Could it be just generally from having a sore throat? Could the cold be making me oversensitive to PG or VG? Is it just inhaling vapor, period?

I wish I knew.

Anyone else have experience with this situation?

When I had a bad cold i added a little Menthol and it works great!
