Getting real discouraged.

I recall having a similar issue when I first started vaping. Can't remember the exact timeframe but it was approximately 1-3 months after switching. I thought I would have to stop vaping. Instead I did the mouth/nose 'no lung' inhale thing for about a week and everything cleared up, been fine ever since.

Hope it's the same for you, hope that it's just your body getting rid of the old smoking junk and being a little pissy about it.

Even if you go back to inhaling, do the mouth inhale while you heal up. It will keep the nicotine fits at bay.

Sorry to hear you're still feeling meh, Signal. I get bronchitis as a secondary after every cold I get, certainly due to my smoking history.

Fortunately I don't get sick often and less so since vaping, but when I do the cough really hangs on. I'm talking weeks here, not days, of horrible coughing.

It's awful and I'm very sorry you are going through it.

As I said in your other thread, try a minty vape and see if you can't keep your vape mostly in your sinuses, it's hard to change years of inhale habit but maybe try to pretend it's a cigar for a while.
Keep us updated

......
It does annoy me that I can't find any reliable information to why my body is reacting this way.....

vaping is new so I am not surprised you can't find info, I think we are the ones doing the research on ecigs!

I find that I inhale only a little into the throat...........

my first thought, as was mentioned, what was the PG ratio you are vaping... ??

my first bottles of juices must of been a low VG/PG (eg:70/30) but then I got ahold of some strong PG ratio

and it bothered me terrible...

so for me, it is 100% VG (or 80/20) and now no irritation

just a thought to ponder

good luck

I'm feeling better but I am still not able to vape like I used to. I have to do very low wattage and tiny hits spaced out otherwise I start coughing.

Hopefully, you have already tried these things:
1) see your doctor or pulmonologist for a complete lung work-up. Ex smokers have lung damage
2) vape 100% VG w/out flavoring or nic to see your reaction
3) vape 100% PG w/out flavoring or nic to see your reaction

The last 2 things should tell you a lot about what you can and cannot vape.

Sorry to hear that you're having problems. I can suggest trying some menthol drops in your vape. In my last life, I had a bad case of bronchitis, (is there such a thing as a good case) anyways, my Doc suggested menthol. I always bought menthol anyways so no prob - it does take some time to clear up that cough tho. Hope you feel better soon......
