omg - hack hack cough cough

[tornadosiren]

Today starts the 4th day of my analog-less life. And it also, apparently starts the first day that my lungs wake up, confused, and say "WTF is going on?" About 15 minutes after I got up this morning, the coughing fit started. It seemed to last forever. Was actually 2 or 3 minute I think. Now, I know this is absolutely common in people who are no longer smoking, and I wondered if it would happen to me. I wonder no more. Been having little coughing fits on and off since then. Hope it stops soon, cause it's really really annoying.

Drink lots of WATER!!! I had it for about two weeks. Was hacking up lungs every morning in the shower!

Then I was good, Then about 3 months later I had back to back chest colds. I was terrible. All good now though I can take some serious deep breaths. I think my lung capacity has increased just a bit, at least I don't get that tickle in my chest and throat when I try to deep inhale anymore. Also, running, no more hacking lungs, exept the cold burns when running outside.

2 weeks? gawd..I suppose it is the price I pay for 25 years of idiocy. All things considered, I think I got off pretty damn cheap.

Just knowing that the coughing is your body getting rid of the nastiness and attempting to heal itself makes it a bit better

My coughing only lasted about a week, buy MAN did I hack up some gross stuff.

Good luck, and glad you made the switch!

Hmm..i'm two weeks smoke free and no coughing. Guess I lucked out. I hope your lung recover quickly!

I'm also on day four without analogs,and no coughing yet...I'm awaiting it though,the cleansing process that is....

HMmm, I've been having terrible coughing fits (to the point of getting literally sick) multiple times a day and for at least a half hour every morning and I haven't quit yet. Tomorrow is my day, but if my cough were to get worse as I heal I think I'll die! IKES

Also, ensure that your atomizer is performing properly.

Also (DawnsDone in particular) see a Doctor if necessary esp if you are feeling real sick from it. Make sure you don't have allergies to the ingredients too.

I'm sick from the analogs, not the vapor =(

I do have to go to the doctors though, i'm just afraid of what they'll say so I keep putting it off ...

I smoke for 25 years. Taste buds still not back and i been smoke free for 4 months. But my wheezing, coughing is gone but took it couple of months.

I smoked for 35+ years and switched to vaping without coughing problems (other than coughing at the odd feeling of vapor at first). But I went from lights to a fairly weak PV (M401).

If you have a powerful atty, maybe you can get an adapter for now and back off to a standard 901 atty? I find the 901 is a cooler airier atty but still delivers the vapor and nicotine fine. 901 atty fits right on KR808D-1, and you can find adapters for 510 to 901

If you are using 100% PG juice or a flavor with high TH, try backing that off too. Get some nice 70pg/30vg or even 50/50 and take it easy on your lungs for a bit.

And drink plenty of fluids.
