Losing my voice

[cgchad]

OK has anyone had this happen?

About a month into vaping, and I have tapered off analogs to the point that I haven't had one for a couple days now. However, I have noticed my voice is getting a little frog like the past few days.

I am drinking plenty of fluids, and don't have a cold. Actually been feeling better except for the voice thing. So is this normal?

Still healing from analogs? or you're just getting sick(cold, etc..)

Same here , have noticed it on and off for the last 1-2 months and I have been vapeing for over 10 months. It may just be coincidental since our weather has gotten much dryer here in florida in the last few months. I didn't notice this in the wet summer months. This never happened to me when I smoked though. Hmmm(?)

Yeah its cold here in Illinois your probably getting sick and if you have school kids i can guarentee it.
When i first read post i was thinking hmm wonder iff the misses will lose her voice.
Not its been 6 months.

LOL School kids are always "sick" in the morning. I noticed my voice has changed some I think it's because at first my mucus got thicker then as time has gone on it's gotten better. It may not be a cold it could just be that you're body is flushing itself out. Give it a few more days dry drinking something warm, coffee works for me.

Yes! I'm having the same issue.
Having the constant feeling of having to clear my throat, along with a scratchy voice. My last cig was on Sept. 26 and this problem has only been present for 2 or 2-1/2 weeks. It's not getting any better, but I don't seem to be getting "sick" either.
This wasn't happening for my first 2 months of vaping. I checked the medical threads for any mention of this, but found nothing. All I saw there was that your lungs will clear as a result of quitting smoking. This did happen within the first week or two, then subsided. I've never had this happen unless I had a cold, and then, it only lasted a couple of days. I find it extremely annoying and hope it goes away very soon.

Wow so many IL people in one thread..LOL

I am not feeling bad at all, actually feeling much better. It just seems that the frog sound is more pronounced in the morning, but occurs intermittently during the day.
As Craig said, I didn't see any mention of it on the medical threads either.

Try taking a mucinex before bed. (not the one with decongestant in it, just the plain one) it'll help thin your secretions so you can deal with them more easily.
I know it's broken record time but "drink water. Then drink some more water. Then have a drink of water" especially before bed. It'll help the mucinex work.

Yeah CGC i just noticed that myself. Im south of Chicago in Will County.

Hydration or PG irritation is all I can think of besides winter weather changes. Some Smooth VG liquid might help as well as a salt water gargle.

Hey cgchad- the same thing happened to me about a month into vaping. I jusr drank a lot more water and after a few days it went away. I wasn't sick or anything either.

 

[NinaFin]

I've experienced that too. Also "helium voice".

 

[cgchad]

I am kind of bouncing between an 80%vg mix and a 90% pg. So its not necessarily the VG helping since I vape that more than the PG.
As far as staying hydrated goes. That's not a concern, I have been through dehydration treatment before and not going to do that again. For me to drink 1+ gallons of non-alcoholic beverages per day is not uncommon.

 

[MsOceanCity]

What flavors are you using? Certain ones, like cinnamon, will cause your voice to sound hoarse(amongst other things).

 

[redbucket]

I do start sounding a little like Tom Waits after long vaping sessions. I've attributed it to PG irritation but have no particular evidence for this. It goes away after an hour of not vaping and I sounded worse after long smoking sessions.
