Still getting some lung irritation

[daniel1989]

I have asthma and I quit smoking about 6 or 7 months ago. I bought a Ultimate vape eGo-T yesterday and i'm loving it. I wish I had picked a different e-liquid because the one I bought is nasty, only downfall lol Anyway, i'm still getting some lung pain when I smoke the E-cig. When I take small drags I don't feel anything but then I exhale NO vapor at all. If I take a big drag I get some mild-moderate pain in my lungs, like when smoking a cigarette. Its nothing too bad, but i'm curious if its normal with newbies or if that's just how its going to be having asthma and all.

Follow that link and read it carefully. You're not smoking anymore. You're vaping and you have to do it differently.

What percent of vg and pg are you using? You might be slightly allergic to pg. try 100% vg and see if any better.

Yeah, if your inhaling directly to your lungs it can be pretty harsh, if that's the case, take the vapor into your mouth first, then inhale. Much better in most cases.

That's the way I smoke cigarettes. I tend to choke if I pull too deeply.

In fact, I was having trouble drawing up enough when I started vaping because I really didn't pull that hard regularly.

I have asthma too and have been off all inhalers since I started to vape. I started off with 100% VG since that was recommended to me given I have a lot of allergies/sensitivities on top of asthma. I tried 70/30 PG/VG and it was brutal on me. I could not use it. Am now trying some juice with a bit of PG since it helps add some taste.

You actually don't need to inhale into the lungs to absorb the nicotine, the lungs don't absorb nicotine from vaping.. Nicotine is absorbed through the nasal cavities and your mouth when you vape.

Try some high vg liquid. Some people have a sensitivity to pg. I loved the flavor of a liquid I had at 80/20 but it just irritated my sinuses too much. When I first started vaping I direct the first month hacking up 10 years of smoking, but it leveled out.

I had the same issue with high PG juices. Hard to describe, but it felt like something was completely coating my lungs. I switched to 50/50 and now have no problems. Try to up the VG content of your juices.
