You could be right. The truth of the matter is that nobody knows. If I ever get my snus I will use that exclusively, then try vaping again about a month later and see what happens.

Nicko,
I was having the same problems so after doing almost all you posted, I finally figured out it was allergies. I upped my allergy pills and started drinking lots of tea. Tea helps to open the windpipe and relaxes the diaphram. That is what worked for me, -- the coughing has stopped.....Good luck.....let us know how it is going.
:)

Well after vaping for 8 months I don't think it is the cause of your cough but maybe it is aggravating what ever the true reason for the cough is . If you had said you starting coughing during the first month then maybe just maybe I would think that is the reason but not 8 months later . Maybe after what ever is making you cough clears up you can start vaping again .

First let me preface this with the fact that I am not jumping on you for your comment. I have read it before but I always wonder why we think adverse reactions can't show up months (years) after a person starts vaping. We don't start showing adverse affects right away from smoking either.

As far as I know nobody use synthetic nic in manufacturing e-juice for cost prohibitive reason.

Well, not exactly. It believed, that at least FlavorArt & Inawera are using synthetic nicotine. At Russian forums there were some research on this topic so I post here roughly translated version with a link to original post, just FYI.

I'll try to piece together information on the manufacturers of nicotine. Because the taste and strength of pure base is different in different vendors as much flavor and richness of flavor with the same name from different manufacturers.

1. Merck (Germany). Synthetic. Sold at the FlavorArt and European stores (it is possible that TW uses nicotine from other manufacturers). ATC-code is received, 1,010 mg / ml, which corresponds to 99.6% pure nicotine, and only 0.4% remains in the water and impurities - more than double the standard of excellence.
Organoleptically: flavor of molasses, caramel, burnt sugar. Smack is constant, but the intensity of flavor and yellowing of the basis for long-term storage vary from batch to batch. Given the German pedantry, we can assume that some batches have claimed higher quality. Blends well with fruit flavors, "conflicts" with tobacco.

2. USA, the manufacturer's name could not be found. Synthetic. Sold by Levy (xtremevaping). ATC-code is received, 1011 mg / ml, which corresponds to 99.7% pure nicotine, and only 0.3% remains in the water and impurities - more than three times the standard for quality.
Organoleptically: taste is perceived as "wet" or "oily." The three batches I've tried are tasted very stable to me; yellowing on prolonged storage on a par with the less successful parties of German. The quality is matched to declared. Recently there were references to the batch pink nicotine with a sharp aftertaste, probably a fake. Well matched with any flavorings, not supplementing them, but not conflicting.

3. United Excel Technology (Shanghai, China). Synthetic. Used for Nicorette production. Chinese stores do not sell it - too expensive (10 times more expensive or Dekanga Xia). ATC-code is received, 1011 mg / ml, which corresponds to 99.7% pure nicotine, and only 0.3% remains in the water and impurities - more than three times the standard for quality.
Organoleptically: cigar flavor, Cuban cigarettes, ashtrays. Five batches I've tried are tasted very stable; yellowing on prolonged storage on a par with the less successful parties of German. The quality is matched to declared. It goes well with the flavors of tobacco, "conflicting" with the fruit.

4. China, could not figure out the factory, sold at the Greenhouse. Extract from tobacco leaves. Quality certificates have been found.
Organoleptically: very high quality, almost as good as synthetic nicotine. The light taste of coffee or cocoa. Two batches I've tried are tasted stable; yellowing on prolonged storage on a par with the less successful parties of German. It goes well with coffee flavors, but does not clash with other flavors.

5. Xian (China, presumably the eastern provinces, only sales office in Hong Kong). Extract from tobacco leaves. Quality certificates have been found. In a batch that I've tried, in 2 different vials labeled with the same, liquid was a differen color, different smell and taste, and varying strength. I didn't' tried to smoke that.

6. Dekang - it's common name. Pure base is sold at e-liquid.cn, but but only up to 36 mg / ml. Certificates are present, but do not inspire confidence, because even at a concentration of 36 mg / ml there is a harsh chemical smell. I feel the smell even when others are vaping Dekang liquid next to me. Huge concentrations of flavoring agents are more or less successfully manage to score a taste and smell.

7. Could not figure out the factory not figure out, sold at jgherb.com. I'havent tried it myself, but according to 2 reviews and other information on site there is a nicotine sulfate offered as part of the merchandise. It's industrial nicotine, used as an insecticide

My coughing is pretty much gone since I switched to the tank-style cartridges. When I was refilling cartridges with that contain a polyfill stuffing, I would notice little threads sticking up from the stuffing. Just the thought of some of those going into my lungs is disgusting. With no stuffing, no worries about wayward threads making their way into my lungs.

Skydragon's last sentence nails it, really.

We just dont know. And I just hope I can happily vape for a long time to come. But we just. Dont. Know.
