respiratory infection and vaping. bad idea?

[inanitydefined]

I've picked up one hell of a respiratory infection a few days ago and today its kicking my bottom. I've been vaping very little but when I do it seems to take the edge off the sandblasted feeling I have in my airways. Is there any good reason why I shouldn't vape? Currently dripping ~6mg 95% vg on a lr joye 510 atty

Continue vaping. PG is used in some hospitals' air supplies to disinfect the air. VG is also a humectant that draws moisture from the air. Your infection is thriving on moisture in the air. Continue vaping. Do it heavily. It's my opinion vaping helps with respiratory dysfunctions. I'm not a doctor.

As a side-note: Add 1 Tbsp Honey and 1 Tsp cinnamon to a short glass of warm water and drink. This is known by many to be a fantastic cure for many things. Look it up.

I don't know for certain but I believe the above poster is correct. I actually find that when I'm ill I can continue vaping like normal, when I used to smoke analogs they would be too harsh and really make me feel horrible during illness.

I developed pneumonia in December and have been battling URI's since then. I have immune system issues so being sick this long is not unusual for me.
I did continue vaping the whole time I have been sick. When I did get sick, I started vaping a lot of fruit flavors with menthol flavors. I was finding that I was very short of breath a lot and had a lot of wheezing. I switched back to my regular desert flavors without menthol and the SOB and wheezing has diminished quite a bit. So yes, you can continue to vape as long as it isn't bothering you.
