Have you checked your oxygen level since vaping?

[kgevans]

I have one of those finger-pinch oxygen-pulse meters from Walgreens. My oxygen level used to run 94-96 before I started vaping. Now, it is consistently 95-98. I cannot figure what has changed. Been vaping exclusively for 26 days.

Some of the cigarette gunk is clearing out of your lungs. You'll be a consistent 98-100% before too long.

Within six months of vaping, I went from 92 to 98 O2 absorption level. In my third year, it varied from 98-99.

Ain't it great...

Everything concerning my BP, lungs, and O2 have improved. My docs tell me to go out and tell every smoker I know about e-cigs, lol.

I had quit smoking for years, but my O2 level stayed around 90-92%. I was on O2 at night. I started vaping to prevent myself from smoking again, feeling desperate. My last check up a week ago, had my O2 at 98%! I don't have a clue why that happened. But I'm sure not going to complain.

98 is as high as the range goes. Down at 90-92 is close to a trip to hospital for oxygen.

That's amazing, as it suggests that vaping may HELP clear out the lungs.
I did see a thread once where someone proposed that as a possibility but there isn't much talk about that around here.

thats kinda cool, i wish i could test that, too bad apo mean aint possible yet

I was always at 98 even when I was still smoking 3PAD on a 37 year habit. In the hospital too. Blew the MD's mind.

My doc had spoken to me about all day O2, but I refused. He said if it went below 90 I was hitting the danger zone. I was close. I had quit smoking on 6/22/2007. In 2013, I had 2 knees replaced, anaphylactic shock, a pacemaker, breast cancer, and one of my oldest friends died. It was a stressful year. I so wanted a cigarette. With my O2 that low, I'd be an idiot. Little did I know that vaping was good for me!
