Update...Coughing & lung inhaling

[Nana2B]

I just wanted to give you an update on my 2 threads 'Coughing & Coughing' + 'Do we have to inhale directly into our lungs'. After trying all of your suggestions one thought that was repeated often was the lower nic levels made some of you cough less.
So after weeks only using my PV here & there I ordered 4 flavors in 0mg all VG.

I vaped Wowboy & Mocha almost like I smoke= directly into my lungs and I did not cough once!
Chocolate I found harsher & got a little tickle from that but not a lung hacker.

My freebie from V4L was a 0mg menthol PG coolcart. I thought I'd give that a try to see if PG was an irritant to me or not...but it was non-working, it crackled a bit but I got no vapor or flavor so I still don't know the answer to that.

The Vanilla I got was liquid & I plan to add that to some of the flavors I have that taste like feet (no I'm not into feet you pervs ) as well as to the higher level carts to lower them....like the 4mg 555, and 8mg Vanilla.

I went to the Dr. yesterday & he told me he suggests nicotine gum for the cravings & 0mg Nic for his patients who want to use e-cigs for the oral fixation (maybe he's pervy too). He was well informed & I gave him some V4L cards.

So that's where I am now & I wanted to Thank you all for keeping me around while I was whining about my issues .
I'm not sure what's next but I'll be here reading your threads, getting advice & just having fun with you all too.
{{{hugz}}} to you all my friends.

Hey Nana!

Just an FYI. From what I've read, ecig Vapor does not absorb into our system the same way Cig smoke does. It typically gets into our system more from absorption in the mouth and sinus tissues than from being drawn into the lungs. I think most folks do not inhale directly into the lungs. I know I don't, I'd probably die from the hack attack that accompanied every puff. I take the vapor into my mouth slowly and then breath it in.

I'm glad you're doing better, Nana. It sounds as if PG may have been the main culprit after all.

As for adding nic gum and using only 0mg nic liquid -- WTF? Doctor must own stock in BigPharma cos. Stupidest thing I ever heard . (Not to mention, expensive.) (Not to mention, adult ladies chewing gum is kind of, well, tacky.)

Nicotine stimulates ("tickles") the trigeminal nerve in the back of your throat; ergo, the higher the nic level, the bigger the TH. HOWEVER, most of the nic in e-liquid is absorbed bucally (via mouth tissue), and the vapor is best drawn slowly into your mouth, not directly into your lungs (yes, you have to re-train yourself on how to "inhale").

Soooo, I'd say stick to the pure VG liquids at 2-4mgs, and re-train your "inhaling" technique!

EDIT: Wader beat me to the punch, while I was busy being so wordy and opinionated!

I do that Wader but it still makes me cough. I also did the inhale of vapor that I'd just blown out of my mouth & still coughed...go figure huh?

Maybe you could try some very low nic VG to get away from the gum.Its aweful.Like pepper gum.

In fairness to the Doc he's an ob=gyn & was talking about getting preggies off cigs.

 

[Nana2B]

I suppose I'll have to make 2mg VG 'cause I've looked around & never saw any premade

what he said...but i take the vapor in my mouth then inhale thru my nostrils...like 0 TH (which means 0 coughing...well for the most part lol)

Inhale cigs directly to lungs? Thats like hitting a ......well I cant say but... Thats harsh. Your a trooper.

No I'm a whining baby actually. I was just explaining that with 0mg nic I can vape like I smoke...with any amount of nic higher than 0mg I hack up a lung Vaping correctly.

I wish I knew how to link my other threads to this so people could read what happened when I first became a member here.

 

[wader2k]

Yup, I didn't think anyone inhaled Cigarettes straight to the lungs!
