Increased lung function?

[xNaTe21x]

Hey, I'm just curious has anyone experienced better lung function by switching to vaping instead of smoking cigarettes? I like to do things like playing basketball and since I used to smoke, I always ran out of breath easily.

Does anyone do any sports and noticed that they aren't running out of breath so easily since you started vaping?

I don't play sports, but I can walk up stairs without running out of breath now

Nice, I mean it makes sense because there's no tar and smoke...I just started vaping this week and I love it, it could be the first step in getting my cardio back

You will! Even some elderly people who had significant lung problems have had improved lung function from vaping. Especially if you made the switch before the damage became permanent.

I have COPD and my lung function tested at 65% before I switched and it moved up to 95% function after switched over to vaping.Just saying.

I always run to the fridge to get another beer. I cant tell if my lungs have improved much but it does seem like I can get there quicker now. So yes... I believe I'm getting better.

wow, I'm excited to hear all this...I switched to vaping after about a year of moderate smoking. I've never smoked a pack in one day but I usually smoked double diamonds and djarum blacks, along with the occasional cigarette.

I have to say, vaping tastes a hell of a lot better...

The summer before I quit smoking we went camping and hiked up to a waterfall. Not a strenuous climb at all. I was definitely wheezy at the top. One year later we went to the same spot and after the climb I was not even breathing heavily. The only change ... vaping ... not smoking.

I have increased lung function, stamina and almost anything else health related. Before starting vaping March 1st 2012 I had smoked for 45 years and was currently smoking 25-30 stinkies a day. I had almost no motivation to do anything after coming home from work, now I am working outside until dusk every day. I feel 10 years younger!!!

Oh definitely more lung capacity, now. After 25 years of smoking, even the kids have noticed I can yell much louder, and for a longer period of time.

Personally, despite how heavy I smoked, I wasn't having many issues before I quit, so I haven't noticed much change. I can smell more things now, maybe a slight increase in taste. That's about it.

A friend of mine switched to vaping after seeing how well it was working for me. She used to wake up coughing and hacking every day. Now she wakes up feeling great.

There was someone posting on the board when I started switching that said they had, after switching to vaping, started running again, and were training for a marathon. They were a long-time smoker who had quit running due to their lack of breath, but once they started vaping, they were able to start running again.

I am getting ready to quit analogs - again. I am in hopes that I can get the first few "rough" days behind me...

Once I get those days behind me, I plan to start working out and training again. I have smoke about a pack a day for the last 35 or so years and I do get winded. I am so anxious for that to stop!

Your going to feel so much better, every aspect of my health improved since I made the switch. No more morning hacking, or the wheeze that plagued me all night long. No more choking or getting winded when I eat, or wild coughing fits if I laugh. It's wonderful!!!!! For the first time in my life I can jump on a treadmill and go 5 miles in an hour without feeling like my lungs are on fire.

My lung function has improved a lot. I have not been hospitalized for my lungs since I started vaping. A huge difference compared to before when I would be hospitalized once sometimes twice a year.

 

[Startle]

Yes there is a huge difference in lung capacity to be noted.

I find it most prevalent in the ability complete an entire workout without the feeling like this may be the last one...

Vape On!
