Vaping is definetely worse than smoking. No more vaping for me.

So, you've been here posting and looking for a vapor device less than 2 weeks, obviously without looking at symptoms threads nor other general advice questions (or in general.... educating yourself with information available here from seasoned users as well as new).

Then, you made a purchase and only received it last Saturday. Lets say, a day of charging your battery.... that takes you to Sunday.

So, here you are after only a possible two full days of vaping, getting a sore throat, then flipping the process off as a harmful product.

If you had read and at least "learned" anything from here before purchase, you'd have realized there is a transition period, as well as a possibility of allergies to PG with an option to switch to VG. Either of which will more likely still have you going through the transition time (1-2 weeks), of an sore throat and coughing up phlem as that lovely tar and other crap from your previous long term smoking choice of a tobacco cigarette.

You have choices...... read more, ask questions, choose trying a VG liquid, and/or even purchasing a liquid from a USA manufacture product and known supplier.

The choice is deffinately yours, and its quite simple to see you are but one in a whole forum of users that has decided for themselves that "this MUST be the reason" with NO reason at all.

Good luck in your return to tobacco, and I feel sorry for you because it is YOU that is choosing to take the PROVEN cancer causing route of nicotine delivery.

VapeOn,
Greg

What an odd thread - the OP joined a couple weeks ago for advice about buying one, they seemed like a normal poster trying to quit smoking.

Flash forward, the OP had what was probably an allergic reaction to the PG after a few days of vaping and is suddenly against the entire community?

Calls us out on cancer? A SMOKER? Insinuates that cigarettes are SAFER? REALLY?

Either the OP is highly ignorant or is just a troll. The ONLY undesirable side effects from vaping I have ever heard of is an allergy to PG and/or dry mouth and throat - everything else stems from quitting and is normal and temporary. We have told the OP this, yet they flame, flame, flame.

What an odd thread.

Let's see.

Smoking an e-cig is like playing Russian Roulette, yes we KNOW that it might not be safe but the facts we do have point to the idea that it is at least SAFER than cigarettes.

Smoking a real cigarette is like playing Russian Roulette with 5 chambers full. There are those who are immune to cigarettes and can smoke a pack a day and not get lung cancer and live to 100, but those are the vast minority. We KNOW that smoking is bad for you.

So it's really up to you which one you'd prefer.

Nice analogy. :thumb:

Hello everyone,

It's sad but it is true. At least for me. I bought a Njoy NPRO last saturday because I really wanted to quit smoking. The first few days I really liked it. I had not smoked an analog since saturday and I was very happy until yesterday.

Before I went to bed last time I felt my throath as if it was tight and a certain discomfort right below my throat, as if it was pulsing. Now this morning I didn't even go to class because I felt extremely tired and coughing all the time (I'm a 21 year-old college student).

I was smoking regular strengh cartridges that had been purchased from NJOY.

This is just not good for me. I have spent aprroximetely $90 on a product that is certainly doing harm to me.

I have never had any of these symptons when I stopped smoking for a week or more. So my conclusion is that the only thing that could be hurting my throath and lungs is the e-cig.

I advise everyone one to stop. I know there will be people saying that it is healthier than cigarrets and etc. It may be, but IT MAY BE NOT. There are no sufficient tests to say that this is safe. That is one reason why the FDA has not approven the product, because IT HAS NOT BEEN TESTED.

There might several things hidden in the vapor and little you guys know. So please, I know that there we are addicted to nicotine, but just don't put something in your lungs that might cause you harm. At least the side effects of cigarrets are know.


He makes a valid point and we all know it. I can't bash this dude, his intentions are good.
 
My mother had this exact same thing happen. She started Sunday and Sunday night was ready to give it up because it was bothering her throat and even burning her lips. Turns out she had a bad cartridge. I tried it (NJoy NPro) and it was way over filled, to the point liquid was dripping out of it. I gave her another cartridge and now she is as happy as could be with it.

I would suggest trying another cart (or even one of the light ones that came with the kit) and see how that works out for ya.

Not really. The side effect of cigarettes is DEATH - you can't have a much worse side effect. I'll take my chances with vaping, thanks - it's not like you can die twice as much.

Regardless of proper and definitive testing, it doesn't take a genius to tell that vaping MUST be safer in certain ways.

I think this polaroid kid just wants some attention and to have confrontation. Ya its true there has been no studies on long term affects on humans. But you know what if you don't like it, dont buy it. If you dont like people doing it, dont talk to them or hang around them. Coming here and putting it down is just ur way to feel better about ur self. As far as not trusting products from china, you might as well take most of the consumer products from your house and take them to the local dump. There are plenty of ther products that have poor quality control coming from china and I bet you are still purchasing them.
Do us all a favor and educate your self before opening your mouth here thanks.

Trog once said, we like to believe that Vaping is the lesser of the two evils. I agree also.

The only valid point he made is "They are Not Tested". Most everyone already knows that. WE are the ones testing it. Other than allergic reactions to PG I've not heard of anyone with deadly symptoms. He said "...but just don't put something in your lungs that might cause you harm". Can it be more harm than tobacco? I think not.

I see some contradiction in your statement here. You stated that you already know that it is not tested. So how can you be certain that it will not cause any harm in your lungs or other organs? If something is not tested, no facts about its long term effects exist?

Agreed. We are the test subjects. And we all do it at our own free will. No one is making us use this product. I was already pumping my body full of **** with tobacco. I have no qualms with pumping my body with something else and putting my life on the line to see if this product is harmful.

At the end of the day, I am no longer coughing up crap, no longer short of breath, I can smell and taste again, and I dont smell like an ashtray any more. That alone is enough for me to choose this product over tobacco. And if it turns out to be more harmful than we suspect than so be it. At most it is gonna be as equally harmful as all the over processed food we eat in the USA.

Oh well, good luck with your lung cancers.


My husband and I are hoping for the best with the lung cancer he has that he got from ANALOGS. He didnt develop cancer from vaping, in fact I don't know of anyone who has. Please stop making posts that are hurtful and personal to some. If you don't want to vape fine thats your choice but don't come and tell me what I can choose to do or not do.

Good Day and God Bless you!

P.S. you could gargle with cola before bed to help with the common sore throat many experience.

I'm not certain it won't cause any harm. I did not say that. I said "Can it be more harmful than tomacco"? I said "WE are testing it". Meaning everyone here that uses e-cigs are basically the guinea pigs doing the testing.

What the heck. I tried to start vaping with the cartridges that came with my 901. They were 0mg/NO nicotine tobacco flavor. I couldn't do it. The PG made me cough with every attempted puff. Felt horrible the next day, but managed to go to work. Did I give up? No, I set aside my 901 and patiently awaited my e-liquid from MissJaaxx. She had given me an opportunity to order from them before their store opened and I jumped on it. I had ordered VG because I had read about allergic reations to PG (did my homework, huh?). As I already have some allergies, I was playing it safe. Rinsed all the prefilled carts and filled with my Amaretto flavored VG and no problems. Maybe I should market the Amaretto VG as Troll Vape. No, how about VapeaTroll? What do y'all think. :D :cool:

D_Struct and anyone else that would rather just ignore ignorance. There is an ignore feature in you account properties. For the 21 year old college student Poloroid that isn't addicted to anything but ignorance. You probably go to IBC Mail correspondence school or pheonix online college don't you? Doesn't matter I have you on ignore so I don't need to read anymore of your stupidity....
