H I've been smoking for 25 years 2 packs a day and started vaping 2 days ago, but I'm still smoking but one pack, the problem is my husband bought the cheap Chinese one called Advantech and their liquids, I have the red Bull 12 mg all the others taste terrible, I love this one, but my chest feels so tight, like I'm having a asthma attack, is it the Chinese products or what? Or is it Because I'm still smoking aswell? Thanks

Sometimes it takes awhile for your lungs to adapt to not being beat on and numbed by cigarette smoke. I'm not familiar with the gear, but I doubt if that has much to do with it. Some high PG juices can give me a sore or burning feeling in the chest.

 

[BabyChamberlain]

So this is really not bad for you, as it feels like my lungs are tight and no burning, just thirsty and hard to breathe

Maybe you're allergic to propylene glycol

I doubt it, I think I'm vaping to much, and maybe it's junk quality, and I'm new to it so it's a different feel to cigarettes

Well if you're new to it your body needs time to adjust. Just like how cigarettes felt at first. And yes, I'd recommend buying higher quality ejuice. Try vapewild. Very cheap and good. You'd wanna 50/50 mix

I'm not sure if vapewild ships to SA. When I was speaking to a few vapers in SA they said it was difficult to get the type of gear and juices we enjoy here in the US. I make it over there once or twice per year, it's a different ballgame there.

If you quit smokes cold turkey you'd have changes in your body due to the adulterents added to cigarettes.
PG will produce dry mouth . Drink lots of water. It's good for you.
Keep up the good fight..

Welcome to ECF BC, make yourself right at home

Are you drinking plenty of water while you vape?

I would try a different juice from another supplier. Do you know the VG/PG ratio of the juice you're using? I know a lot of people here say Pg can be harsh or they're allergic to it, but for many VG gives us a tight chest and if you're wheezy I would suspect that. You could try a high pg nice and a high vg juice and see what's best for you.

Hard to say. Chinese isn't necessarily bad, there are bad liquids and low-grade hardware all over the world. Admittedly, the low-grade hardware is made in China, but so is most of the top stuff as well.
Smoking as well (dual using) can probably be discounted; lots of people do.

It took me a while to get used to Vaping. The early days were very distressing. Dreadful dehydration, coughing, restlessness at night. They did pass, in time. I suspect you are suffering the same way as me. I remember it well. Inhaling the correct/best way also took me some time to adapt to.
