ever since i got my mvp, it's been the most satisfying vape i've gotten from any device i've ever tried. as a result, i've been vaping much more frequently, like 1.5-2.0mL of e juice per day. a week later i started noticing that i was coughing up mucus, which started from a cloudy white to yellow to now green. perhaps i should ease off a bit? and for some history, before vaping, i smoked socially. once i got my ego c, i maybe smoked 10-15 cigarettes during a 5 month period. and i've had maybe 2-3 cigarettes since getting my mvp which has been a 3 or so weeks now. my e juice has always been around the realm of 50/50 pg/vg. anyone experiencing anything similar?
tmi: coughing green phlegm since i switched from my ego c to mvp mod

i'm sure it's your lungs purging a lot of the harsh things associated with smoking
it should start turning yellow, then clear
green usually suggests you have some sort of infection

I agree with dash. Even a smoker's phlegm is usually yellowish-brown, never green! Green screams infection to me!
Im so glad I don't do that no more! Also the other day I was watching a funny movie and noticed I didn't have a coughing fit everytime I laughed...
And my daughter told me she could always tell when I was up in the morning cause I would be hacking in the kitchen and now I don't.

yeah maybe i'm sick and it came around the same time i got my mvp as a coincidence. perhaps webmd is where i should go lol
edit: "When you have a cold, your immune system sends white blood cells called neutrophils rushing to the area. These cells contain a greenish-colored enzyme, and in large numbers they can turn the mucus the same color." (webmd)
i guess i am denial about having a cold since i feel fine. oh well, decongestant time.

Hopefully, you will see a doctor. However, the green mucous exudate could be a sign of irritated lung tissue and/ or a bacteria infection of the lungs. The usual culprits related to green exudate are:
Colds
Flu (infleunza)
Hay fever
Sinusitis
Acute bronchitis
COPD , particularly in chronic bronchitis
Bronchiectasis
Pneumonia
Lung abscess
Cystic fibrosi
Not limited to these conditions. It can variate depending on one's health.
The color: Green: is associated with Neutrophil activity. It could be caused by a invading pathogen. Lastly, it could be caused by a inflammatory response.
Bottom line: Rule out infection by seeking medical advice. Hope you feel better.
However, I would like to reply to your question. I have had green exudate without infection. I concluded it was due to heavy lung irritation from the vg% E-liquid I purchased when I first started vaping. I found out I was having adverse effects from vaping higher vg.
Don't think it has anything to do with what mod you are using.... Sounds like something a good antibiotic will take care of.
Sounds to me like you've been vaping pluid too long. Switch to a normal juice dude!
Why are you still smoking cigs you can do it and quit completely. I got my first ego in march 2013 and I never needed a cig since. Cig certainly wont help your lungs or health
I cant say I can relate I have a long list of improvements to my well being since I quit smoking

Yup..used to get nasal and chest infections ALOT while smoking...usually brought on by alergies and heavy mucus production and NOT using a nasal rinse to bust up the goo
When I started feeling the "chest infection" funk coming on I usually double dose mucinex for a day or so...cough all the yuck up, but only AFTER I use my sinugator and double packet saline mix in distilled water to wash out my nasal cavity (having nasal infection drain into my chest is usually where the infection starts from)
After I quit smoking...I noticed the symptoms of my allergies are heavily reduced, and I haven't gotten a chest infection like I normally do during hayfever season

Right. Sounds like you're coming down with a cold that you would have come down with vape or no vape. Take some vitamin C, eat some chicken soup, maybe not blow vape through your nose if it's clogged up.
I know that a lot of people including myself that when we started vaping got sore throats and hacked up phlem but grees stuff may be a result of you getting sick by coincidence , just stick with the vaping it get s better ...
