First time poster. Hoping to be able to pick the collective brain.

About 3 three months back I started hitting my Posh vape rather aggressively. I was having some stressful days at work and was pulling 1500 hits in less then a couple a days. During this period, I developed a sore throat and flu like symptoms. I tested neg for Covid and Strep. I developed a very scratchy throat to the point where I could barely talk. I felt like there was something stuck in my throat during this period. I was able to split out these white chunks from my throat. Almost looked like cream of wheat. I don't think they were tonsil stones because I had those removed when I was a kid. Fast forward about 10 days and I was completely healed. For the next month or so I would use the Posh sporadically. I wasnt sure whether my previous illness was due to the vape of not. I had another stressful week. I started hitting the Posh and almost immediately I felt the familiar throat tickle so I stopped. No sore throat or pain this time.
It's be about 12 days and the tickle persists. I have no sore throat but it is irritating. I feel like I have a hair ball in my throat. My doctor told me that the previous white stuff I was couching up was fungal? Now I day 12 I'm taking an anti-fungal and it doesn't seem to be helping. Psychologically its starting to mess with me. Fears that I'll have this sensation forever, why is it not getting better, wondering if this is even psycho-somatic to a degree?
I'd love to get some feedback from some of you.

Welcome to ECF, oolongmonkey. I would think that the high nic level of salt juice combined with a huge number of tokes could be what is affecting you. Can you refill that disposable device? If not, maybe another device with a lower nic level content would help this situation. Whatever you do for this, remember to drink water, and don't forget to drink more water..

Thanks for your reply man. Honestly, Im so freaked out I did some sort of permanent damage or that this damn tickle never goes aware that I may never vape again. 13 days, persistent with no signs of getting better
After searching the thread what I went through seems a bit common. Hopefully someone that had something similar and came through the other side can chime in.

Hi and welcome,

It sounds like the job is to blame.

Best of luck in your new position.

Cheers

There are colds and flu going around. I just got over a month long, phlegm producing, coughing jag that almost made it impossible to vape for a few days.

Welcome to ecf.

I would say dont hit the posh try to find a better alternative because sometimes poshes are faked and filled with low quality e juice maybe get your own ejuice and a pod device

Another thought. We're you recently started on an ACE inhibitor for high blood pressure? That can cause this type of side effects.

Dang. Well I hope I didnt have a fake that caused some sort of permanent damage. Day 15 and still the same symptoms.

Nope. Thanks for reaching out though

Hello @oolongmonkey and welcome to the ECF.

Hopefully your symptoms clear up soon.

 

[karacal]

Could be allergies, I’ve had a Vaping/sinus drain lately, probably due to pollen. Hth

 

[Coyote628]

Could be you done went and messed up big time, vaping unknown quality juice like that. That was probably chunks of your lungs you spit out. Or....it could be anything else.

 

[smacuser]

Eww yuck.

Eww yuck.

Well, ya know, these things do happen. It happened to this guy.......

Someone on Cruddit said he was spitting up stuff for months and months. He vaped 48mg, 75% peppermint, 100% PG, with custom made AlienStapledTwisted8Core Ni80 dual coils at 0.002 ohms on a quad 21700 mech mod at 455 watts. They said his juice was called Chunky Lung.

How r you feeling buddy. Did you ever get to feeling better or find out what was going on. Personally I would get away from the disposables and get you a refillable pod system. I find it hard to trust those disposables and it’s cheaper.
