I don't think I was much of a cougher when I was smoking. I've been around smokers who coughed constantly and didn't even seem to notice it though.

I did get really bad bronchitis often when I was smoking. Whenever I'd have a cold I'd dread it so much. If my husband got the same cold, he'd be over it in a little less than a week. For me the coughing would last just about 3 weeks every time. The first cold I got after starting vaping, I dreaded the inevitable bronchitis, but it never came. I haven't had anything like that in two years now.

Same with me, I would get a cold and be sick for weeks but now it lasts a few days and goes away! AMAZING!!!!!

I quit coughing and having to clear my throat within a week of starting. Amazing stuff to be sure. Just wish I had jumped on it years ago.

I tried years ago in like 2010 and it was BAD! I realized I have a sensitivity to VG and cannot do more than 20 percent or I get sick. Once I started using real cartos then to EVODs I was in heaven. It happened so slowly that I didn't even notice. Weird.

It's so true,
I also didn't cough much while smoking, which is surprising because I smoked for 28 years.... but,
I did like alot of people above get dreadful bronchitis while sick. A small cold would turn into bronchial asthma.
Since I started vaping in October 2012 I've been sick and didn't get bronchitis.... as a matter of fact, it didn't go to my chest at all.
It's amazing that just about every vaper is healthier & happier !!!
I'm so ecstatic that we all found this miracle!!
Vape on & vape happy!!!

'Piph away dudette!

It can we weird, the things that drop away when you quit with vaping, that you find you completely forgot about. The cough. And the rattles in your lung when you laid down too? And all that other stuff: dealing with dirty ash trays, dumping an ash tray, dropping a lit .... on the carpet, the dozens of disposable lighters, singing your hair with a .... on a windy day, did you - or didn't you leave the house with a lit cigarette in the ash tray? If I just take the stairs at a more appropriate rate I really won't notice how winded I am...

For all the years - decades - we went though all that crap while smoking you would think every little discovery would be a huge moment. It's more like your brain just wants to run away from all those "fond memories" as quickly as possible. So if you find yourself not being wowed all over the place about the things you lose - like the cough - dunno. The epiphany for me was how quickly all those not-so-fond things got pushed out of my former awareness of them.

With my allergies I still have problems but yes it's no where near as bad as it was when I smoked.

I typically DIY at a 50/50 but here lately been testing pre made juices and finding myself having coughing fits and congestion. Need to check the pg/vg mixes I may be having a reaction to them. I know it's not the nic level as when I DIY I vape at 28 mg or above but all the pre made juices are 12 mg or less.

Ohh, allergies. I've sneezed all morning since I was a little boy. I never really got sick, but I can go through a roll of paper towels in under a week.

What's that? Pecan trees flowering? Ah choo. What's that? A turn down the road that leads to my house? Ah choo. And it isn't spring that gets me going. It's summer, fall, winter AND spring.

Giggles but now we can actually smell what's making us sneeze and watery eyes
