So how long?

[t3hp00ky]

How long did it take for you to feel a difference in health after switching from analogs to vaping?

I'm just wondering because I run a lot due to my current job. I used to run about 10 to 25 miles a week, but over the last year I've really felt a decline in my ability to keep on going after about 2 miles.

Hopefully I can get back into my running habits without the feeling like my lungs are going to burst.

I started noticing a difference in a week.

A few days, actually. I firmly believe it was my improved mental state showing in my face, but I felt different fast.

I felt a little more confident that I didn't stink. I felt better about myself for not having to go outside every 45 minutes.

Yes, I seemed to notice a difference in just a few days, less wheezing and coughing in the morning. After about a week I seemed to have better lung capacity, maybe just all in my head, but I feel better. I smoked for 38 years.

after 3 days no more morning coughing,sense off smell came waaaay!back! and food seems to taste much better now.

Took a bit, when I start vaping I was coughing for about 3 weeks and then it stopped. Then I noticed that I could climb to the platform on the el and not be out of breath! My teeth started getting whiter and then my sense of smell came back.

About 2 weeks for me!!

Smokers cough (after 36+ years) was gone in one night as well as the normal nightly wheezing in my sleep. Litterally felt better in just a few days and discovered I was no longer winded just getting dressed or taking a shower in about a week.

Now I'm looking forward to things that I used to enjoy but never thought I would do again.

I felt way better in a few days, but then I went through some fairly serious fatigue about 5 weeks in, and a couple of other "cleaning house" body issues, but after that all settled I was fine. Sense of smell and clear lungs was from about day 4 and never went back though.

Little over 6 weeks in.
Did a respirator physical last Friday.
Lung function was 126% of expected for a 15 pack-year smoking male 34 years of age.
I don't know what that really means but it sure made me smile!

I started coughing up junk after just a few days, but now that's stopped. Been vaping for just over a month, and I feel great. Now to just get back into exercising!

Same here... The first week I had my vape I was hacking up phlegm constantly. I thought it was the vaping at first but then I realized my body now had time to get all that crap out.

Plus I don't have much anxiety anymore. Smoking an analog would relax me, but after I was done with one I'd feel nervous about nothing and everything for some reason. Vaping feels so much better, I get the nic fix without the nasty side effects.

After about a month I've noticed my skin looks better now too. Not as pale and pasty.

Food tastes better too.

A few days on skin pinkness and cough leaving me. Still get phlegm - no difference there.
Haven't really coughed any gunk - yet - I'm assuming I will as I was a smoker for 20 years. Other than that, all the benefits were felt early on.

 

[LudaCura]

Almost immediately my skin started clearing up, my complexion evened out - I used to have very rough, ashy skin from smoking. It looks five years younger now in such a short time. And I feel that i have more energy. But I have been coughing a lot, which I know is just the impurities cleaning themselves out.

1st few days—smell significantly improved and taste continues to get slightly better. No more coughing and can breathe better.

1st few weeks—lung function continues to improve slowly. Increased sex drive and increased performance in my workouts. Blood pressure dropped slightly.

1st few months—dramatic improvement in blood circulation and lung function continues to improve.
