hello,

so let me start by saying that this is one of the best vaping forums i have ever seen, you guys rock :)

I smoked for 10 years of 7 to 10 cigarettes a day never over did it, mostly with friends or gaming ect . I quit smoking cold turkey 2 month ago and started to felt that i was not doing so well with out my ciggy and wanted that smoke in my life again, some time later that month later my wife told me about this vaping thingy and got me one so i wouldn't be pissy all the time :p LOL

1 week from quitting i started to have breathing problems like im not getting enough air in to my lungs, may be it was nicotine withdrawal, anyways i got better almost at the end of the month, when i had my 1st vape and i was hooked :D good rite?? NOOOOOO :mad:

on the 2nd day i started to get cough which i read was normal so i drank a lot of water, my breathing was ok and i was getting my smoking fix, on the 5th day i started to get extremely breathless and couldnt get enough air in to my lungs, i started to do some research and found that some people are not good with PG so i got my self 100% VG. didnt work out still had that breathlessness :(

then i got 100% PG didnt help at all, got 50/50 60/40 and 80/20 all in 6mg nicotine NOTHING WORKED even bough a different vape stater kit.

i didnt over do it i only vaped for max 2 mins or less a day 7 or 8 times as if i was smoking an analog...mouth to lung hits, finally i decided to stop all of it when the breathlessness got worst,

i went to my GP who did all kinds of tests to find out whats wrong with me, didnt find anything, the breathless still remained, x ray clear , blood tests clear......, quit my job didnt meet any one, wanted to just die, as time passed i got better and a week ago i was about 80% recovered from breathlessness...and while cleaning my room i found my e cig:D and i was like come on a few puffs will not hurt me, i went to the nearest e cig shop got me some new blueberry juice cleaned my pen and stared vaping , it was out of this world, but to my despair that breathless returned nest day :( and it was worst then before...went to the Dr and he still could find any thing wrong with me, took some test .....told me my lungs were as healthy as a non smoker and my blood results were all normal as before...again i stopped vaping and after 1 week i began to feel better again :/

today i dont smoke nor do i vape i feel the best i have ever felt just a little tightness in the chest which the Dr told me will go away in time...what was wrong with my vaping i miss it i sometimes ask my wife who isnt even a smoker to vape so i can smell the flavors , i dont smoking normal ciggs and dont even like the smell of em any more either.

anyone can figure out what went wrong with me and vaping?? maybe my body dont like vaping :confused::confused::confused::confused::confused:

It could be a psychological problem.

With all the bad press going around I have had patients that swear up and down that they have some sort of symptom related to vaping. In every case there is a mention of e-juice containing antifreeze, or "My wife said a guy at work had a battery explode in his face" or they heard it was way worse than smoking cigarettes.

If a full assessment by a doctor shows no lung damage, a good pulse oxemitry reading, no sort of underlying illness, infection or blood problem... I would look for another reason for your shortness of breath.

I am wondering if there have been any stressful situations you have been dealing with.


OR...

Could just be a sensitivity to vaping, but I would expect a doctor to see some kind of signs or symptoms during his assessment.
