I have. I'm not coughing as much as I was before I discovered PVs. I also don't have the chronic congestion I usually have due to allergies. I've only been at this about a month and have only been off analogs about for about 2 weeks.

Jersey Girl, I'm thinking that marydanhayes may be referring specifically to the e-liquid from Nhaler called "Lung Juice" (which also contains herbs or something), in case you took it more generally.
Thanks for the clarification. I was thinking in more general terms. I haven't heard of lung juice before.
I have some of Nhaler's lung juice, but since I have SO many bottles of juice, I don't vape the LJ often enough to notice a difference.
As an aside: I was phlegmy on analogs, and I'm phlegmy now. The difference is that now, my phlegm isn't black and brown and scary looking.

I produce more phlegm when vaping, but my production was greater from the start. I just beginning my eighth month of being off smokes and on vaping and my medical indicators, other than the phlegm, are all moving toward normal. I'll live with a productive, occasional cough over the alternative.
Forgive my ignorance, or if I am raising something already discussed - but what's the big deal about having "phlegm" anyway?
People with allergies and asthma get phlegm don't they? I thought that producing phlegm was just the body's way of protecting the lungs from on irritant.
People with allergies can get constant flem from pollen or air pollutants can't they?
So if the underlying cause of the phlegm is 'chronic exposure to an irritant' how bad is that as a health risk? Is the irritant so bad as to possibly be carcinogenic? Is the irritant so bad as to cause or worsen emphysema? Does it lead to high risk of sinus infections? Does the production of phlegm affect lung function? Does the irritant/production of phlegm cause or worsen bronchitis? Does the excessive phlegm production lead to higher risk of pneumonia? Does excessive phlegm production give rise to a higher risk of complications from Flu? etc. etc.
Sorry if these are basic questions but what I'm wondering is, what other conditions or illnesses are there that lead to excessive phlegm production? and what comparisons can be made to these and the phlegm production which occurs from vaping?
Also are we talking about excessive phlegm produced in the nose and sinuses or excessive phlegm being produced and coughed up from the lungs?
