Vaping and Exercise

[0time]

Hi all,

I was wondering if people found positive impacts when they exercised after making the switch from analogs. Better breathing, higher energy etc.

Yes, everything you mentioned, I have experienced it since moving to ecigs. I started regular excercising withouth all the problems associated with smoking analogs and physical activity. So I can confirm that vaping is much better when it comes to working out.

Nice. Thanks WickedSick. It's my first few hours of vaping again so that is encouraging.

I took the deepest, most effortless breath I've taken in the last 10 years after my third vape. That's not to say I'll be out jogging though Depending on how much you used to smoke, don't be alarmed in the next few weeks if you feel off and cough up gunk. It will get better.

They are both right you will feel much better. However, you will start expelling stuff from your lungs. Also you might notice a sinus drip as things thin out and your airways clear out. I have noticed being able to really breath for about a month.

That sinus drip thing is strange. I figured it was from vapor condensation in the nasal cavity, as I like to exhale mostly through my nose. Actually, I still think that's what is happening, and when I ride my bike, my body temperature rises and my breathing is increased, thereby causing the accumulated vapor to drip. Interested in what others think.

And to answer the OP, I definitely noticed a difference in my usual bike ride to work. I used to actually dread it some mornings, but since I've been vaping, I just dread work, but the bike ride is next to effortless now.

Now that you mention it...yes. I pushed the spreader all over the lawn this weekend with 200 pounds of stuff (total) to go down. I never took a break and it didn't bother me at all. I would have had to stop at least twice in the past.

Interesting. Thanks for mentioning that or I wouldn't have noticed.

I did note that I'm hacking up Stuff That Must Not Be Named. Do you actually mean I was putting this...(self-censored) into my lungs?

After making the switch, I'm now in the middle of Couch-To-5K and doing surprisingly well. Not bad for a big guy (5'8", 270#) like me...

I've noticed a huge improvement. I mountain bike and my lungs/heart use to give up before my legs, now it's the opposite.

My son is going to have to get a faster pair of sneakers or wait a few more years before he can out run his old man.

I've been vaping for 2 years now. My story is kinda weird but suffice to say I had quit smoking cigarettes for about 10 years then started again. I didn't want to smoke anymore so found vaping. Regarding exercise; I have run 2 5ks, do a rather strenuous hike/run in the mountains 4x a week, have done 3 rounds of P90X, 1 round of P90X2, Insanity; The Asylum and have not had the issues I used to have when sucking on analogs. For me it helps but everyone is different.

I have been vaping since 2008. Fully quit cigs over 2 years ago. I used to run, but had not for about 4 or 5 years, and got nice and fat as a result. I started running again this past July, and within a month and a half, I can already run a 5 mile stretch!! It took me waaaaay longer to get to that point before. So I would definitely say that I have noticed a HUGE difference!

My love of excerise is what made me really not want to smoke. The first week and a half after my switch I couldn't work out. After about ten minutes I would just be blah. Then my lungs cleared and my system felt better. Less than a month later I can log in my 2 hour a day workout again

At the college I go to my dorm room is on top of a giant hill. I remember the year before when I was still smoking I would visit friends who lived in the residential area up here and I would be sweating and gasping for air by the time I got to the top. Now when I get to the top I dont break a sweat and my breathing remains unchanged.. Just this factor makes me never want to switch back to analogs
