i took a walk yesterday while vaping and i noticed tighting in my chest and trouble breathing. ive never had issues smoking normal cigarettes, i smoke 24mg and smoke about a tank a day (1.6ml)

anyone else have these issues or know what could be wrong? maybe its a healing process?

It could be nothing serious coryy, but nicotine constricts blood vessels and nic from vaping affects people different than from smoking. When that happens I would stop vaping until the chest tightness went away and then see a doctor. Chest tightness is a warning of a possible impending heart attack and that is nothing to play around with.

How do you feel now?

i feel great! aside from my throat being a little dry but i stay hydrated to combat that. heart disease and problems run in the family unfortunately. ill definitely have to get this looked at by a doctor, i was thinking maybe it was just from the nicotine and constant chain vaping. im only 20 the idea of a heart attack never crossed my mind!

Please, update us about you condition! Don't underestimate the risk of a heart attack even if you are only 20. More and more young people have high risk of heart attacks.

the best advice as mentioned in earlier post's is to check in with your doctor.
hopefully its just your muscles tightening as your using a different draw on your
e-cig than you did with the analogs.your muscles are not use to the different usage.
generally your drawing against a more restricted air flow with an e-cig.

Tightening/sensation in the chest is a common withdrawal symptom but it shouldn't hurt. I've never experienced trouble breathing and that would concern me. Vaping irritates my sinuses like analogs but its more like an allergy thing with me. I would get it checked out or keep an eye on it.
 
High VG of course will give you some congestion.

I have found that generally higher PG will give me issues before higher VG, but I am only 2/11 through my current testers with another 15 in transit via that mess which combines ups to your local post office and usps to your door.

I don't know the pg/vg ratio of the one, the other is 80vg/20pg

pg has always given me a scratchy throat when I have been around the artificial fog using pg.

That is the kind of thing I would get looked at by a medical professional, even when I was 20.

Good luck, and may it be some silly thing like using a different set of muscles, etc :)
