Question about coughing

[CallmeTMac]

I recently got my vape. When I first got it I was vaping just fine with no issues. However, as of recently, every time I take a hit i cough really bad. Why do I cough now when I never did when i first got my vape?

Allergies?
Too hot?
Lung draw?
Dirty coil and wick?

If you quit smoking when you started vaping, this is perfectly. The cilia in the lungs are recovering and starting their normal function of removing general crap from the lungs.

Assuming there's nothing actually wrong with you, it's called "quitter's flu," CallmeTMac. Just about every smoker converting to vaping goes through it.

It's normal. Your lungs are beginning to recover from smoking. As your lungs clear and heal there will be some cough and mucous expectoration.

The good part is that soon your taste buds and sense of smell will return.

Changing coils and wicking are a must for a clean vape. If it tastes bad and irritates your throat, try a new coil/wick and see if that solves the problem. Drink lots of water to thin your secretions and get all the crud from years of smoking our of your system.

All the above advice I agree with.

If its been a couple weeks or more and you haven't changed the heating coils in your tank, its now time. Change coils when the flavor becomes muted, the flavor begins to taste burnt, or you start getting a poor vape which causes you to cough.
