    I was actually trying to vape while having covid over a year ago. My lungs would slam shut faster than a country screen door. I had to take to the french roll instead. When I recovered, I was back at it.

    I think if it was a problem, the anti crowd would be all over it.

    Just to add, I had a CT done in March and it was all clear.

    Hi, I've recovered from covid-19 for one month and I'm vaping now. Is it safe or risky to vape?

    I had COVID about a year ago but a very mild case due to taking HCQ/Azythro/Zinc very early on. I never really had it get into my lungs since it got stopped early, but i pretty much vaped the whole time. But obviously if you're having breathing issues, do as little vaping as possible and even maybe switch to higher VG and less PG. Easier on the lungs that way.

    Did you vape before? Did you smoke before? I would just try it and see how it goes.
    To others that responded... what difference does it make to clean/sterilize the gear? Already had it, already has anti-bodies. Wouldn't the same advice apply to everything in the home (including every food item in the fridge)?

    Some suggest you might not have antibodies depending upon the severity and duration of symptoms. Serology after 3 weeks I'm informed should tell you if you've gained antibody immunity. Research, to those inclined.

    Or you just might have had influenza A/B. Who knows?

    Good luck. :)

    Propylene glycol, one of the main components of ejuice is pumped through the ventilation systems of some hospitals.

    This is done because it's antibacterial, germicidal and antiviral properties are well documented and researched.

    One could easily argue that vaping may convey a small amount of protection against the virus although this has not been researched or documented at this time.
