Phlegm and coughing

[Bullette the Cowdog]

kiwi, dentist sent me to a Specialist, he gave me some special rinse to use to SEE if the sores healed. If they did, then it wasn't cancer. So, I stopped vaping and used the rinse several times a day. Two weeks later I went back to Specialist. . .told him the sores were healing. He looked and said, your're right. So, it's not cancer. But, I felt like telling him, "thanks for scaring the holy crap outta me". And a waste of $500 dollars. The rinse the regular dentist sold me cleared the sores faster than the more expensive rinse the Specialist sold me. JMHO

Yep. Ya gotta be careful with doctors & dentists.
I've heard that 50% of the ones out there graduated in the bottom half of their class!

I actually started Ecigs (after many failed attempts on other NRTs) BECAUSE of lung butter. After developing an occasional cough it progressed to a constant need to clear my throat, eventually I was coughing up the usual dark grey stuff you hear about.

After ~2 weeks of vaping it went away. I still have to clear my throat occasionally, but it's not the hourly hack n "schhhlllloooorck" ordeal. And I can finally yawn again! Oh how I missed a solid lumberjack sized yawn.

Hey Glittered,

Welcome and yes,that is the way it works. After smoking for over 50 years, I just wish it would go out faster. Guess it is packed in tight. Just quit one month tomorrow, so guess patience is in order.

I am from Windsor, Vermont originally, moved to Florida in 1987.

for any mouth issues, i would recommend biotene rinse

Coughing is most commonly caused by the cilia that line your lungs cleaning out the tar and mucus. Your body is in the process of cleaning out all of the junk coating the surface of your tissues and will cough it up in the form of phlegm. It’s not pretty, but think of it as a makeover on the inside. This is a good thing.
Studies have shown that this process begins within a few days. You will most likely experience a morning cough for about a week, and clearing for up to a month. Recommendation: Consume lots of water to help this process along. For sinus congestion, take an over-the-counter medication until it dissipates. I use a sinus rinse and a nasal lubricant.

Thanks for information, I just have problem like this

I've not had many issues aside from the occasional feeling of a slick throat after vaping. This is cleared with a good cough. One of my co-workers is constantly clearing his throat despite being on the e-cig about a year longer than I have. I dunno if it's just his preferred juice or what, but it's a little disconcerting.

It could be the PG, I personally found the TH a bit too heavy for my tastes.

Just ordered my kit. Glad I have phlegm, lots of it by the sounds of it, to look forward to!

I smoked a pack and a half a day for 35 years and when I started vaping about 6 weeks ago, got down to 1 cig a dayand my cough disappeared almost immediately. Just started coughing a bit this week. I guess it's normal.

i am starting to get the hack after 2 weeks of not smoking.... last time i quit (basic training)i got very sick from all of the junk i was coughing up....

Today is my first day off cigarettes! Strictly vaping, I've been coughing quite a bit.

I personally have no had any coughing/phlegm issues (although I do randomly lose my voice from time to time & have to clear my throat), but hubby is @ around the 4-week mark and is definitely coughing up the gunk

I have had the mouth ulcers off & on. I get one or two, get them healed (really just a couple days of swishing w/warm salt water), and boom, I get another one or two. So far it hasn't become so troublesome that it would make me want to stop vaping, though.

I am a registered nurse and I agree with the Doc. Been there done that. Been smoke free for 11 months now - it should clear up soon

 

[amienichole]

Had the same thing happen to me. The mouth soars went away after 2 mo. The coughing on the other hand went away after 6 lol. Good luck!!

kinda weird to read this thread ...
i was such a heavy smoker and stopped instantly when starting vaping , never noticed anything besides a dry mouth from chain-vaping

smoked over 10 years , started at very low to eventually 60 to 90 cigs a day
