Got my first e-cig yesterday

[Skizo91]

Hi, I just got this awesome device yesterday, altho I actually quit smoking a few months ago, I often felt the urge to do the occasional cig, so i thought I would get the e-cig since my body is actually protesting my smoking even one real cig after quitting... anyway , i dont have any niccotine addiction, so I only do the nicotine free liquids. I havent really tried any liquids yet, got it yesterday, but I will soon try all kinds of tastes...
Anyway, my only worry is how will this affect my lungs and ability to exercise? Because I am a regular runner (i run 10 kilometers 3-4 times a week) ... so I'm wondering if this will have any negative affects on my running times and lung capacity?

Also, how much is normal to "vape" daily? I used to smoke only like 5 cigs a day or less, so i was not really a heavy smoker.

Hello and Welcome to ECF. I can't answer your questions, but someone in the know should be along shortly.

My friend welcome to our world. I dont understand why people are running after vaping when they are not a smoker. put some branch on your mouth like lucky luck.
I was a heavy smoker and I would not walk fast pace as I used to. My breath would not allow (easy I am 60) but after vaping 10 months I can maintain my pace now. So I wouldnt think it should effect your running. But if I were young and in your boots I would never go near a cigarette or vaping device with everything I have seen during my 60 years. Go away my son. Out any bad habit

Hello and welcome!

Well as a pack a day smoker of strong cigarettes, I ended up vaping anywhere from 1 to 2 ml of liquid a day depending on the day. I use the 24mg liquid. So that might be a perspective piece anyway!

welcome to ECF Skizo91 ... I also have no idea about how vaping will affect your running ... I don't run.

Cheers and Merry Christmas

welcome and enjoy the vaping experience.... i have noticed that i can breathe better and i can do more exercises (i walk daily) and know that i am in a healthier state because i no longer smoke analogs... i honestly believe that it is a better way to go than smoking analogs...

The only limitations have to do with nicotine and you're going to vape zero nic... so as much as you wish. If I were you, I wouldn't inhale at all. You're just wanting flavor and lungs don't have taste buds. Why would you even want to? Pipe smokers don't and I don't as a vaper. I do use nic but its absorbed in the mouth/nose so inhaling isn't necessary even for nic. Just go for the kind of vape you want... ie: PG/VG ratio and flavor. PG carries flavoring best and VG makes the most vapor. Good luck to you.
