hey Jimi D, could be the concentration, I do 50/50 and all I've had since I started a year ago is is toothache but that's just because of all the jaw breakers i tried to break
Having a family of 7, I'm sure to catch a cold. I'll take once a year over 2 to 3 times a year when I was smoking any day.
This is an old study, but still worth the read and review. Have there been any studies showing how much of the PG remains as we exhale, and therefore actually improve the environment?
Great article! Thank you for posting. My family has been sick this winter several times, I started ecigs in late October and have been the only one who hasn't been sick. I did catch a cold in early Nov. but it lasted only 2 days compared to what would normally happen where it lasts one to two weeks and ends up in my lungs. There is something going on here! Again, thanks for posting this!
Back in my analog days I was good for a couple of colds a year along with a bout of bronchitis during the winter months which would eventually need antibiotics to clear up. Since I started vaping I haven't had either. A couple of times when the better half had a cold or the respiratory flu I would start to feel a little punky, but in 24 hours I was good again. Definitely some benefit to PG that I can attest to.
Hospitals have been using PG based air sanitizers for years. It's also the main ingredient in Ozium, which works wonders for smells.
I've forgotten one thing. My deodorant consumption has decreased big time. Yes pg kills bacteria. But, I worry about the good bacteria as well.
I knew about the experiment with mice that lived in a PG mist for two years, but hadn't heard about the findings of protection against influenza and other virus types. I used to have one bad cold a year, but haven't had one since I started vaping, FWIW. That's been almost 3 years, so there must be something to it. There have been times when almost everyone in my immediate family came down with a cold and I didn't.
No wonder my doctor is so pro vaping. He asks me every time I go in if I'm still not smoking. I tell him I'm not. Then, he asks me if I'm still vaping. I say yes and he says, "Good!", and goes on to the next item.
