Bummer! From what I've seen, the menthol is about the only thing that's usable and you're already using that. Our sympathies, though. Hopefully, it will run it's course in a few days.
If you've been off the cigs for 25 days, I wouldn't think this would be smokers flu. I could be wrong.
I hope you're feeling better soon.
I hope you're feeling better soon.
I also would not chalk this up to "smoker's flu". I'm a medical professional, & this is one condition i've never seen nor heard of. Who knows it could be a wives tale, ,or a real disease..........ya learn something new everyday.
bmwjen, it may not be what the medical community calls it, but smokers flu is fairly common when people quit. I'm sure it's not a real flu, but a lot of people get withdrawal symptoms, and this is what they call it. Google the term, you'll find some info.
Today I had horrible pains in my chest all day. Like needles... Luckily it was with intervals. I'm quite convinced it has something to do with withdrawal, but I just hope it's not because of vaping... Anyone ever experienced this?
I went through it about 6 weeks in. I kept a journal here in the medical section. Wasn't fun and took me about a month to get completely clear of it.
Both the wife and I are feeling like we are having flu symptoms. Can't vape so we are doing some analogs to keep the nic from causing us from scratching out each others eyes. LOL It isn't a very nice feeling when you can't vape.
You can't vape but you can smoke? It would seem like it would be the other way around LOL
The vapor causes us to cough a lung out because of the moisture. The analogs are a dry hit, but not as bad a hack.
Oh I see. Funny, though. When my kids were little the Dr.s used to advise us to set up a humidifier in their room at night to make them feel better/help with the congestion. Danged shame, though, the vape tastes so much better!
Yeah, I'm a day shy of my 3rd week and the nastiness is starting to come out... Sinuses are draining like crazy, had a bit of a fever Sunday, and I'm having a very "productive" cough...
FWIW, I used Guiefenison(sp) when I got that spell. I just vaped Cinnamon til it went away. then all was well.
So after about 25 days smoke free, with only 1/2 a cheat, I finally got the smokers flu. Or the regular flu. I wouldnt know becuase I have seriously have not been sick in over 7 years. I feel like poop. It even hurts to vape. I got some menthol ice liquid and that is all I can vape...uggg
I think vaping menthol to cure vaping sickness is like popping aspirin to relieve an ulcer.
the first month or two of vaping for me caused dryness and throat abuse unlike anything except smoking for the first time decades ago, maybe worse but not cancer causing in my book.Would recommend drinking any and everything while vaping in the beginning.
agreed. for the first week or 2 of me vaping, I had to constantly have a bottle of water with me. you get used to it fairly quick and before u know it, vape all day without the slightest feeling of dry throat

Heh, I got a friend vaping and the other day he sent me a text "Man, this thing gives me wicked cottonmouth".
My response was "You obviously didn't read the links I sent you"
Him: "What do they say?"
Needle sensation in chest is not a good sign. I would go immediatly to 0 nic for the rest of the day. Also, I would have your cell phone on you at all times. Not trying to scare you.. As a panic attack sufferer I have come to learn the difference between non heart attack symptoms, and real symptoms. Numbness or needle sensation is not a good sign! I hope you feel better, and take an asprin! (You are probably fine).
If you do find your chest starting to get very heavy, call 911, and start coughing extremely hard every 3 seconds, (self CPR).
I'm a worrier, so don't take this the wrong way!!
I have found that when I vape, I cough up a lot of gunk... Like it's clearing out the tar.. Anyone else?
