I've been vaping for 3 weeks now still on cigs at certain times of the day at work as vaping is not allowed in my country. So before work, lunch n after work I go for analogues. The rest of the time I'm vaping. Recently I've been chain vaping and think I have developed a cough. Wondering if it is from the cigs which is 3 a day or the over vaping. Any views would help.

I stopped smoking on Monday and started vaping and now have a light cough.
Sometimes black stuff comes up. I think my lungs are getting rid of the tar from cigarettes

When I first quit cigs over vaping I had a nagging cough for.like a week and a half I was coughing up this gross looking stuff doc said it was from my lungs basically pushing.out all the nasty stuff from cigs. Or you could.be getting sick lol for me spring is my worst enemy I always end up with bronchitis
I chain Vape constantly and never cough. I go through 9 to 10 ml a day. No coughing at all. It could be your lungs trying to heal from all those analogs in the past??
Look at the PG/VG ratio of your liquid.
I started out on 70 PG / 30 VG and it gave me a slight cough.
I use 50/50 now and cough went away.
Some people are sensitive to to PG.

I've seen a lot of non-vapers cough immediately after puffing on a vape. They hold the drip tip in their mouth like a cigarette i.e. loosely with some space around the end. Try making an air-tight seal with your lips around the tip of your e-cig and drawing lightly. There's no need to power lung an e-cig. The "correct" way to vape is slightly different than the way most smoke an analog. I've seen lots of people's coughs cease after about a week and gaining better technique.
When I started vaping I had been smoking about 2+1/2 packs per day for over 30 years. In the early stages of my vaping the vapor would make me cough at times when I took a hit. As my lungs cleared out over the following few weeks, the vapor did not have this effect anymore. This was on an Ego type battery with a T3 clearo. Nowadays I can take big hits from a dripper( much thicker vapor) and no more cough. Also, my persistent smokers cough has been gone for a long time now. I used to cough all day, and all night long. Do the best you can, and hang in there. It will get better with time.
i didn't either, however I think smoking technique differs as much as vaping technique. I only inhaled to my throat when I smoked. That area tends to heal quietly. My husband however lung inhales. So he gets the cough at times, he's still smoking.
Sonic: you're probably getting that from your lungs healing up due to the reduction in smoking. They want to get rid of all the extra gunk, and the only way to do that is make you cough it out. It stinks that you can't vape in the open. I'd be trying to find a hiding place
Neither did I. I coughed up phlegm (as usual being a smoker) but never the "black" stuff that others have stated. And I smoked for about 45 years.
For me it's the VG that leaves me phlegmy and lightly coughing.
I figure folks need to experiment one way or the other to see if they're sensitive either way and adjust as needed.
