Were you a smoker before you started vaping? If so, it may be your body's way of getting rid of all of the crud that had accumulated in your longs while you smoked.
Many people cough up some nasty stuff shortly after they quit smoking.

Sounds like all the crap from smoking coming out of your lungs, assuming you smoked. That happens when you stop smoking no matter what you use to stop (patches, gum, cold turkey, etc). I would just try to stay calm, especially since the doctor found nothing wrong with you. and continue to vape. Once your lungs are clear you should be fine.
you gave up vaping.... but you haven't gone back to smoking, have you?
if that's the case - good for you.
If you're coughing up slices of green and brown phlegm, and the doctors haven't found anything wrong with you, I'd be looking for new doctors.
A few question I feel need to be asked...Are you a recovering smoker? What fluids are you vaping? Is your e-juice supplier a well known and trusted company that isn't from China? Have you told your doctors that you are vaping?

Greenish tinged mucus is a pretty good indicator of a bacterial infection. Did you tell you doctor? Lung infections are not to trifle with. One can also have a sinus infection that drains into lungs (usually when sleeping).
Also might ask what you're vaping and how? Buttery custards at sub-ohm? Food coloring in your vape? Sugars?
I'd suggest starting with a phone call/follow-up appointment with doctor. It's no fun being sick. Good luck.

Sounds like your lungs are hearling, and maybe you have caught a cold or infection. I wouldn't be so fast to blame vaping, but do follow up with Dr.
yep my doctor said that with or without vaping the coughing up crud can last up to a year as the lungs are healing themselves and rejunvenating...
Also could have nothing to do with vaping, IE upper respiratory infection like I had.
Go see a different doc and explain.

ive been quit smoking before for 3 years and never experianced this flegm. then i obviously started smoking for a further 2 years then gave up to go on to vapor i vape rosy apple 12mg in a clear tank on a vision spinner im not against vaping at all as i enjoy it, and ive not started smoking fags again
Well congrats and stay strong!
And I'm sorry that you had to give up something that you enjoyed but you had to for medical reasons.
I don't know of any cause for eliquid to produce multi coloured phlegm and have not encountered this. I did, however, cough up copious amounts of brown speckled mucus shortly before being diagnosed with angina. Go back to your doctor.
Only time I've coughed up green or brown flegm/mucus is if I have a cold or stuff sinus

it could be from giving up smoking and your lungs are cleaning out or you could be sensitive to pg or vg
Coughing up phlegm is a common side effect of Vaping, most people complain that PG based juices trigger this the most.
If you ever intend to get back into vaping, avoid all PG based e-liquids, including PG based nicotine formulas.
been vaping for almost 10 months... and havent coughed up any crud since august/september, in fact I dont have that morning smokers cough any more either... and from what Ive read in many posts on ECF, alot of people dont cough up crud from vaping...
Good for you. Fortunately there is already a consensus that PG causes phlegm build up. It doesn't help this situation to say whether YOU suffer from it or not, asides from just being contradictory to a legitimate warming.
PG is a germicide, if there's any bacteria/virus in your lungs, PG will most likely kill it and your lungs will expunge what is left.
