Vaping when sick?

[ladysolitary85]

I just picked up a cold and I'm finally past the horrorable runny nose stage and coughing up a storm and today I can finally breath but now I'm stuck with my darn chipmunk voice...

*starts singing "Christmas Don't Be Late"*

anyways, on a serious note, I've noticed when I vape my throat is extremely sensitive to the vapor... yet smoking analogs doesn't effect me as much when I'm sick...

any reason for this guys? or am I alone on this one?

actually i had the same problem it hurt so bad to vape but strangely i could pick up an analog which i wasent proud of doing, since i was in the midst of quitting. i think it might be the heat from the vapor or the nic coating the throat.

i had this happen over thanksgiving... and im sure it's the level of nicotine (which burns) and pg (which is an alcohol) hits the back of the throat as a mist and sets in... smoke, not really moistened alcohol and nicotine - so its not a vapor sticking to the throat and stinging as it sinks in...

one thing i can tell you, is the flu was cured in a matter of 3 days, using no other medication than low nicotine PG - which also when french inhaled did wonders for clearing my sinuses of mucus when i was sick...

Yea I just can't get past that sensitive feeling when I vape right now. Which irritates me because I want the e-cig over the analog. I don't use a very high juice either, just 12 mg at least for now until I can find a good 24mg flavor.

It just puzzled me.

cough drops girl... cough drops

I know! really need to get my hands on some. Had to use the last of my check on rent, and I'm out of Day Quil 8-o

Could of swore I had cough drops somewhere but they disappeared somewhere

Hey ladysol I hear you on the Dayquil. I swear by the stuff!! Feel better!

 

[ladysolitary85]

I really wish I cold Allie but I've got no cash on me till the 20th. Yep, I'm that broke lol. That's only because I wasn't expecting to be sick... (is anyone though, really? lol). All I have left is night time meds....

My idea is to take the night time meds when I'm off work.... maybe that'll kick in.

My nose congestion got so bad that I couldn't breath, my guy made me some tea with a little special stuff in it to knock me out

In the meantime, I'm laying low on the vaping until I can get a normal feeling in my throat, not too happy about that.

Do you have any friends who could lend you the couple bucks for cough drops? Just buy a big bag for like 3 or 4 bucks they don't need to be any special brand or anything just get the cheapest bulk one you can find. You can get 80 from CVS for 3 dollars

Buy CVS Vitamin C Supplement Drops Assorted Citrus online at CVS.com

I tried Freeskierpj, but they all couldn't help. I even asked my mom .

I'm not overly fond of asking people for cash or anything, I'm just going to tough it out and try to use my night meds since its all I have left and drink on some hot tea.

if you still have the night-time meds, i reccomend taking them early and sleeping as much as possible, sleep is probably the best medicine in the world. does vaping still hurt?

 

[ladysolitary85]

Kno, I did try it a few mins ago. It's not as sensitive as it was but I think that's because I'm feeling 80% better aside with a few sniffles and a few coughs here and there. Still got the chipmunk voice and throat is a little dry.

The good news is one of my neighbors was nice enough to give me a couple of day quil vitamin C pills, so I'm going to take one each day and take the night meds when I'm off work. I think I should be 100% in a few days, hopefully not longer than that

Thanks for your concern guys

 

[ladysolitary85]

And I'm still freakin coughing.... grr what's wrong with me??? I HATE being sick!

I don't think anyone likes being sick lol

 

[ladysolitary85]

Greatttttttttt now I know why I'm still sick.... I have freakin Bronchitis... freakin super!

Dr. said that my right lung sounded iffy.... so he gave me Alberterol HFA inhaler w/ a chamber, Prednisone, Robitussin AC and Sudafed.... I'm just glad I finally know whats wrong with me and now I got meds to finally get better!

I miss my e-cig lol

You know its funny becouse i was going to post vaping while sick becouse for the past week ive been sick and honestly i have more of a serious head (sinus) cold that really sucks... Well i must say vaping while sick isnt the best thing in the world but way better then smoking analogs in the past when sick!!! The only problem is i can hardly taste the flavors at this point but i still vape anyways hehe~ Now if the vapor would only clear my colds id be straight!!!

It sucks! What's funny for me is vaping irritates my throat more than an analog would when I'm sick like this. Which frustrates me because I DON'T want to keep smoking analogs I actually enjoyed vaping and I can't even enjoy it until I'm better... grrrr!

I just hope my meds will clear it up soon.

 

[ladysolitary85]

.............. I wonder if I can make something out of that chamber when I'm better would be a lot of vapor that's for sure!

 

[ladysolitary85]

... I'm kidding of course geeze! (referring to post above) I'm not that bad of a vaporhead..... or am I?

Anyways day 2 on the meds, so far still sick but I feel a little bit better.

Have you tried vaping Nhaler's lung juice or Vitamin C flavors?
