Problems with coughing

[Afine]

Hi,

I wasn't really sure where to post this so if it needs to be moved, sorry!

Anyway, back to my topic... I've been vaping (and completely analog free) for about two and a half months now and my partner has been (pretty) supportive about it. The thing is, he's a smoker, about a pack-a-half a day. He's tried quitting because it's a real strain on his health but he always reaches a hump after three weeks and goes back to it.

Therefore I suggested vaping to him and had him try a few of my juices. Every single one of them, without fail, makes him cough. It can't be the PG because I've had him try some gorilla juice and a few velvet cloud flavours that are both completely vg. Plus, since I'm down to 6mg I'm thinking it can't be the nicotine content. It still makes him cough every time.


Does any one know why this could be?

Thank you in advance for your responses!

Ask him to change his inhalation technique. He is most likely inhaling like a cigarette, straight into lungs. Have him try pulling into mouth first and then inhale to lungs.

Also vapor doesnt include the nasty cough suppressants that tobacco cigarettes do and it does take a small adjustment time for some folks.

Thanks for the quick reply and the link!

Now that you mention it, it's true that I have a tendency to inhale first in my mouth and then take it to the lungs. I think because it came naturally to me I didn't notice it.

I was worried that it may be some unavoidable allergy.

I suppose it could be - but coughing is more a sign of irritation and not so much of an allergy. It could be the old "I dont wanna actually quit" allergy too lol Many of us had that one at some point or another.

The same thing happens to me, and it doesn't matter how I inhale. For me, it's just from vaping triggering quitter's flu a bit early (PG can do that). I stuck through it and after a week or 2 the coughing went away

Every smoker I've offered a puff to coughs the first time they try it. Remind them they likely coughed the first time they smoked too. You get used to it. For the first few weeks I had to remember to take a smaller puff first thing in the morning or it would make me cough too. I don't have that problem anymore.

Thank you everyone

Yes I'm sure the "quitter's allergy" has something to do with it too.
I have to give you props though for sticking through the coughing, now that takes will power.
