So, I've pretty much quit dual use, maybe a hit off a cigarette here and there, maybe a whole one every 3 days, but I'm sick. I was getting over a cold and now it is back full force before I even recovered from the first. Chemical withdrawal maybe? Body aches, headaches, coughing up phlegm, heavy chest and no energy. Worst of it is the body aches. It hurts to exist right now, almost flu-like. BTW, which I've already had. I was expecting some withdrawal, but this much? A coincidence with a real cold possibly, but ugh I want to get better.

Here is a great resource you should take a look at A list of symptoms when quitting tobacco and changing to an ecigarette
I did clean my gear but it could have been too early when I was still contagious. I'll give it a go again and maybe wash it daily. I didn't think I could reinfect myself, but this could possibly be it.
Thank you. Some of these I knew and was aware of so not worried about the more common symptoms, but some kind of took me by surprise. I do hope I'm not sensitive to PG because that kind of really limits my options for nic salts, which is the only thing I can vape. I've increased my water, but probably not enough. I went and got some electrolytes to see if that might help me get over this hump and get some energy going. Thank you.
Just wash your atty and give a shot of alcohol afterwards. After doing that wiping the dt with alcohol couple times a week doesn't hurt.
Keeping your gear clean is generally useful, but I think it's really hard to "reinfect" oneself with a cold, to be honest. The idea with viruses, is once your body encounters one, it maintains "recognition" of the offending virus. It's actually why immunizations work.
With that said, I cannot emphasize how dreadful I felt while detoxing. I did wind up being PG sensitive on top of it, but regardless, my detox symptoms were far more horrible than a simple cold. I actually enjoyed my first cold after switching to vaping, it passed in like 2 days, really I just felt slightly off, and it didn't develop into pneumonia.
I would imagine suffering from both together would be close to hell, honestly. But hang in there, keep hydrated, and keep going. For all I know it could be just detox (some are worse than others) and I'd hate to see you thinking halting vaping to ease your cold (that you aren't entirely sure yet is one) and then have to do detox again.
All the best, I wish you luck, and i hope whatever it is just passes quickly..

Welcome and glad you joined.
Were all different, hang in there. Might try vaping 100% VG plus a smooth tasteless nic only until you start feeling better.
I'm at zero nic, however I would give these folks a try:
100mg Nicotine Salts
Thanks. I know the first round was a cold because my son got it too and it was too soon after stopping cigarettes, just a couple days. Now I'm beginning to think allergies and detox. I'm not giving in. I'm quitting for good and will find what works. Hopefully some of the higher vg nic salts or I'll do some research and make my own. I like the taste better, the smell better, having more time in my day and hopefully living longer enough to get through this.
