I've been an avid smoker for several years averaging roughly a pack a day. (dependant on alcohol consumption of course...lol!) I just purchased my first vaporizer yesterday and have been playing around with it ever since; making minor adjustments here and there. I haven't had a cig since I got the thing and I've noticed I've been expelling a lot of mucus from coughing. I'm sure this is my body's way of getting rid of the crud in my lungs but dang! How long does this last and is this normal?

Congratulations, and Welcome aboard...although I didn't have any coughing, after 40 years smoking a pack a day I was able to quit immediately too.
I would imagine your body is ridding itself from years of buildup related to coffin nails.
Best of luck, you'll be in great shape in no time.

I've been vaping for about a month now and most runny noses have stopped
Although I still cough a little when I wake up in the morning.
That first hit of some of my juices is an eye opener - usually cause I was screwing around and turning up the wattage before bed blowing clouds at the dogs (it's hilarious to watch them try to chew it)
I tend to notice if I exhale through my nose it does tend to get some drip I catch in my facial hair. My wife laughs and tells me I gotta little juice on my face.
I chalk it up to VG basically being a moisturizing agent.

Oh my! When I first vaped in the house, my dog took one look at the cloud and ran straight for his kennel! Now he won't go anywhere near me if he even sees the vaporizer. He's such a pansy!
I too seem to struggle with that first drag of the day but have tried exhaling through the nose and all it does is make me sneeze. I'm about done with this juice I started with and gonna switch to something different. I believe there's a big possibility it's the juice I'm struggling with here. It has a slight menthol hint to it and I've never been a fan even when I did smoke.

I've been on a juice buying bender lately...
In the last two weeks I've stopped at 5 of the local B&Ms and one out of town on a trip... picking up a couple of there house blends and usually a premium along the way.
Mix that in with my meager DIY supplies (which will be growing tomorrow) and I usually keep about 120 mls of different juices on me at all time (in a box in my backpack).
I keep a 30ml bottle of a mint/cinnamon/menthol/wintergreen mix from one of the B&Ms around to clear my sinuses.
One of the first things I learned was ... the tester in the shop will taste completely different then on your set up.
The second was what flavor I wanted really depended on the time of day and mood I was in...sometimes I want a custard, sometimes a fruit ...sometimes something just off the wall.
No scratch that...second was - have a back up.

A list of symptoms when quitting tobacco and changing to an ecigarette | E-Cigarette Forum Congrats on your journey.
Do you know the PG/VG ratio of your e-liquid?
What I've found is that 100% VG will make me sneeze, or give me an all over congested feeling.
I found that I do OK when I used at least 50% PG, even better with 60 to 70% PG.
Hello, welcome and congrats on quitting smoking , as for the mucus, for me it took about 10 days until I was finally clear from that sick stuff.
, as for the mucus, for me it took about 10 days until I was finally clear from that sick stuff.Twas bout a week and a half for me as well.
After 3 years of no smokes,
I'm good. I can breathe, I can taste, cigs make my nose run, and I feel sick when I'm around them.
Stick with it.
Glad you are here!
