I thought that wasn't supposed to happen to vapers. I think this is my first cold in 3+ years.

Anyone can get a cold you don't have to be a vaper or smoker to get one. My kid's don't vape nor smoke and they get colds. So being a vaper doesn't prevent colds. Wish it did though :)

The more PG the better when it comes to the antimicrobial properties of eliquid. I've had only a couple colds in the 8+years I've been vaping versus getting a few every year when I was smoking. I've wondered for some time if the move to mostly or all VG liquids has reduced this benefit but haven't read anything that confirms it.

Here's a brief discussion on the Mt Baker Vapor website - Propylene Glycol - Germs Worst Nightmare? - Mt Baker Vapor

There might be some truth to the vaping and not getting sick as much thing....theres no doubt I get sick less since vaping. Perhaps it's not really vaping, but just the fact that I'm not smoking anymore. The sick part wasnt so bad, it was the 2 weeks after that which got me. After my cold went away, my chest congestion was aweful, couldnt breath and was constantly hacking flem...all that has completely gone

I thought I had a cold the last couple of days until I checked the pollen count in my area. The rating was high. So I’m taking allergy meds but boy I’m so congested and feel like crap.

Who gats allergies in August ?

Hope you feel better soon!!
