question for all of you. I figured I would start here before going into the main area.

In the last few weeks, I have started to notice feeling tightness in my chest as though I was smoking. It is definitely worse in the am.

I know the common responses will be that you will say that my body is adjusting after quitting smoking. I know this is not the case here. some background. I had not smoked in about three years before starting vaping about a year and a half ago. My lungs felt perfectly clear. I also have not felt this the entire time that I have been vaping.

Now it could be I am vaping more. I do seem to be taking bigger hits and using my devices more in recent weeks. I also have not changed my juice mix, although I did start making some of my own. I did not seem to have many issues with PG in the past so I am not sure that was it either.

any advice or help is appreciated. thanks!

Well, we know it's not a cold, so you should go to the doctor, ob. He will/she will probably blame it on the vaping though. How many years were you a smoker? Do you have a family history of heart disease? You could have something wrong with your heart because of smoking...even though you have quit. We know this has been going on longer than it should. Right?

My brother died at the age of 40 from a massive heart attack (he was a smoker), so it's not impossible for that to be an issue at your age. Two weeks ago my S-I-L, same age as me, had a quadruple bypass (though we are older than you). A heart attack at your age should be a concern being an ex-smoker. Of course diet and lifestyle plays a part too.

Have you tried vaping zero nic at all? Nicotine does still affect the heart, but not as much as the 4000 other chemicals in cigarettes. It could still be an issue though.

It could also be something else, so...

Go to the doctor! Please.

Hello Zenfidels. I am new to the thread, but I have been following along for a while. I did get in on the BAM for the 24 hours or so it was available for purchase. Is it August yet? I can't wait, but I am trying to put it out of my mind for now.

I did get to hold a Mini in my paws at vapebash, and the fit and finish is amazing. I have mad respect for Zen~ as a vaper and a business man.

Happy Monday to you all.

thanks guys!

I do not have a history of heart disease. It could be a weird chest cold as one of my employees has this right now. I also am having some weird head congestion so it is possible that I do have something going on.

I appreciate all the words, thought and support. I am going to chill on the vaping for a couple of days, and see if that helps. If not, I promise I will go see my doctor.

thanks!

Great idea, don't go see a Doc, save a buck, & if your not around in a few days, know that you will be missed.

How are you liking KY, Nin? Losing the Zenesis aside...how are you enjoying it?

Assuming these are your first Genisis mods, this is fairly common for a little while (I had the same experience when I fist started using Genisis mods too) and I would not be alarmed. I had the same thing when I first switched to Genisis mods. You're vaping much more than before and your body is adjusting to the increased amount of vapor going into your lungs. You are more than likely using ALOT more juice than before. All that stuff has to go somewhere. Eventually what will happen is that you will adjust to the newer style of vaping and the symptoms will completely subside. I had that heavier feeling for about 3 weeks and then back to normal. This will also happen if you start using higher VG% in your juice for the same reason. :)

That said, it's never a bad idea to see your doc just in case ;)

Zen~ The BDZ(black diamond zen) looks fantastic.

Any chance you can design one using recycled cardboard & put a river rock in it, I could afford one like that :D

Sure, it can be done, but I'm thinking it won't hold up to very much use... Maybe 1 tankful before the juice turns it to mush. :) :lol:

OB the grave yards are full of folks that had no history of heart problems. Tightness in the chest should not be taken lightly. See the doc and get a full work up.

OB, it could have something to do with body transitioning to spring from winter, the warm days and cold days mixed in have been playing with how my lungs are feeling ATM, and I have never been allergic to anything, I know some of my coworkers with allergies are getting it really bad right now and they don't vape or smoke

My pages won't finish loading on this HOH thread. Just this thread, not any other ECF threads or forums. Anyone else having a problem with it or is it just me?

Me too, don´t worry it will go away, trust me. If it bothers you boot your system or clear your cache and it will stop.

Oh man, I didn't read the post you quoted and I thought for a second you were telling the OB, he just needs a reboot or clear his cache. Of course if he stays here, he will be cleared of cash, so I thought you were making a joke....
