Is it risky to vape after covid-19 infection?

[Z-Lee]

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

There will always be a risk vaping whether it be immediate or long-term, but I'd say if it's causing you complications to the point where you can feel your day to day health noticeably declining, then I'd stop for now and try again in another month or two. The long-term effects of COVID vary from person to person - some are affected more-so than others.

Took HCQ/Azythro/Zinc and in kalifornia? The mark of the beast is on you! Heretic!

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.

Higher VG is a mistake imo. Best to add a couple drops of DW (distilled water) to tank and see if that helps.

I am a 5 - 10 % percent water kind of guy when I mix mine. I get it to the viscosity of 60/40 VG/PG

Mix my base VG/DW8%/9mg salts(4%pg 250mg). After flavors I'm usually around 80-70 vg viscosity. When I mix with ultras probably closer to 90vg. The dw helps so much with "heavy lung" feeling so I can stay with my beloved higher vg mixes.

I use more water in the winter and less in the summer, same reasons.

Oh but the variants, the never-ending variants!

Hey... like your new avatar. Mom watches MSNBC a lot... drives me nuts! Don't get me wrong (and I refuse to choose sides... I always say "I am a beautiful spiritual human being") Fear is the enemy

Thanks to all those friends who discuss in this thread <3.

Maybe your post generated some interesting discussions (off topic... maybe but might as well talk about these things) Don't (specifically) worry about vaping my friend.

I appreciate everyone discussing this topic as well.

My thought on the matter is that vaping contains nicotine and may help me stay healthy and COVID FREE by killing the lil bugger.

There is some good news. From everything I've read Covid-19 is the cure to the normal flu we have lived with for so long. It seems there wasn't a single case of the flu reported last year whereas in the previous years thousands of lives were lost to it. I suspect the same to happen this year. I don't want to come off as being flippant since so many folks have lost their lives but none of them lost it to the flu. Amazing how that came to be once covid spread.

The PCR test cannot differentiate between the flu and COVID if the machine is not "cycled" 50 to 100 times. I don't know if cycled is the correct word here, but it is all that I could come up with.

The reason there were no flu deaths is that we were all wearing mask, so I have been told.
Must be true, right?

Well, I did see it on the Oracle of Truth, so I believed without a question. But my other source was the primary care doctoress that I see. She explained to me that masks were the reason for the dramatic reduction in flu deaths when I asked. She was pushing the vaccine. She seemed to be totally infatuated with the governors response here, lock downs, masks, schools closed, WarMart's open, churches closed, liquor stores open and so on. So, I went to Amazon and bought a case.

Masks, and more likely social distancing, may be part of the reason for the reduction in flu deaths. But dont forget greed. Flu and covid have the same symptoms, and especially early on, before reliable testing, if someone presented with flu like symptoms and was hospitalized, the hospital gets paid more for a covid diagnosis than a flu diagnosis. A lot of flu cases were probably coded as covid.

I would probably lay off it for a bit until you fully recover.

I vaped all the way through having COVID. BUT...

I didn't have the lung involvement. Monster nasal congestion, fever, body aches and loss of taste yes those I had but not the lung involvement. I was also a case of long COVID in the sense that the extreme body aches and fatigue went on for 6 months for me.

Did one cause the other? Who knows.
