PVs as a decongestant?

I've caught something, knowing my luck it is probably the swine flue but have noticed that e-cigs are really helping out with my breathing. If I put it down for a few hours, I start hacking away. My lungs gurgle, etc. When I pick up my PV though and vape for a while the cough goes away, and so does most of the gurgling.

While my temp is not dropping, it does seem to help with the cough and itchy throat. Out of curiosity, has anyone else noticed similar results with vaping while sick? As far as I'm concerned, this stuff is better than NyQuil .

Not for me. When I was sick with a head cold (pretty nasty one too), vaping stuffed me up. I would wait to open up a bit, reach for my 510 and I would immediately stuff back up like I was trying to breathe through a brick wall.

It DID however dry me out a little bit, so when I hit the drippy-nose part of the cold, it helped in that respect.

Vaping while sick hurt my chest, made me cough more and made my throat more sore. Sometimes when I smoked cigarettes they would make me feel loads better, or loads worse... it was always a crap-shoot. Perhaps vaping is the same, maybe next time it will make me feel better
