Mình là người Việt Nam.
Trước đây bạn có hút thuốc không? Hay chỉ đơn thuần vape thôi vậy?

If you have just recently quit smoking there are a lot of symptoms that occur while your body is trying to heal itself. That includes tiredness, anxiety (lack of nicotine), and even sore throat and coughing. I had a sore throat for a month. I smoked for 38 years so I know my body was going into "shock" from lack of all those nasty chemicals. You say you are on 0 nic now and having these symptons of worry, etc., but you were ok on 6mg nic. You are going through withdrawal. You should probably stay on some nicotine for a while and slowly reduce it.

Thank you for your information!
But do your lung feel sore after quit smoking?
I lung feel sore but I don't have any fever or something else. Just lung sore...

because your lungs have been coated with tar, and you quit smoking, the tar comes off, and your body might feel "weird" for some time

but then again, go consult a doctor and tell him/her about quitting smoking and vaping as well

You may want to try one juice high PG.
And 1 juice high VG.
Use each one separately for 1 day to discover if the PG is the problem, or if the VG is the problem.

If you feel the same and PG/VG doesn't matter it could be a problem with the flavouring.
Try a different flavour or try a different juice maker.

I found old juice to be a problem myself. I make my juice with the freshest ingredients and only PG to overcome my lung irritation. Cheers.

Last week, I used 50/50 VG/PG ratio juice and now I use 70/30 VG/PG ratio juice but nothing happen. Just same

 

[edyle]

What wattage are you vaping at?
How many ml per day are you vaping?

High vg tends to cause a heavy lungs feeling.

 

[Hitmetwice]

Yeah 50/50 or 70/30 probably not a lot of difference. At least not enough to notice. Try at least 80pg/20vg and then 20pg/80vg to decide which your body/lungs prefer.
It will be worth it. You should notice one mix is better than the other for you.
You do not mention the flavour or the juice maker, could you elaborate please, some flavours can be problematic.(at least some were problems for me).
Cinnamon and black licorice are 2 that gave me trouble. ymmv. cheers.

My lungs & throat always hurt when I quit smoking, or even when I just changed to a different brand of tobacco. I always thought it was pretty weird so I'm glad to see I'm not the only one.

But yeah, make sure it isn't caused by something else. Nickel in the air path can cause this if you're sensitive to it, too hot a vape can also cause it, maybe even the liquid you're using.

If it doesn't go away after a month or two it can't hurt to check with your doctor to see if there isn't something else going on.

+1 to everyone here:

It takes a while to heal up after being a heavy smoker for years. It may be no more that that. I coughed for the first month, myself. My lungs were getting re moisturized after decades of hot, dry smoke, and I coughed up a lot of nasty dark stuff.

Try changing up your juices. Different flavor, different PG/VG ratios, different manufacturer. consider DIY to be certain of your ingredients.

Don't be in a hurry to quit nicotine. This can send you back to smoking.

If none of this works, see your doctor.

Good luck, welcome to the board.

It's really hard to say No with Nicotine.

But I don't know why it's sore now?
I vaped for a month and nothing happen.
So scare!!!

Well, since it started when you stopped using nicotine perhaps you could try to add a little nicotine again for a few days just to see if that makes the problem go away? It might just be withdrawal.

Or you could just simply have a cold perhaps.

I don't know about the sore lungs, but when I tried to stop using nicotine I got very depressed, cranky, tired, didn't want to do anything, either. I didn't realize it at first, but those are some of the symptoms of nicotine withdrawal. Most people say nicotine isn't addictive (it's the rest of the ingredients in cigarettes), but for myself, I think it is, and I know of a few other people who have the same problem. I had no trouble quitting cigarettes when I started vaping, and I smoked 2 packs a day for over 40 years, but I can't seem to shake my need for nicotine. Since nicotine by itself isn't a big deal, I've gone back to using it at a low level, but enough so that my mood has improved and I feel normal again.

Hope you feel better soon!
