How well does this work out with ya'll? My girlfriend is coming down with a cold and vaping seems to irritate her throat where as normally a regular cigarette doesnt. Awhile back when i was sick i had the same problem. I was still smoking cigarettes at that time and i could smoke those, but couldnt vape without coughing? She, unfortunately, has started smoking again. She still vapes and it trying(somewhat) to quit the nasties. The cold isnt helping matters much. I dont think its an excuse to smoke, as i experienced the same thing and wasn't using it as an excuse at the time. Honest lol.
Vaping while sick?

Neither smoking or vaping will have a positive effect on someone who is ill. If she's going to smoke and vape - or even smoke or vape - while ill with any respiratory ailment, she's going to get better at her body's own pace.
I think we may very well have found the cure to smoking tobacco, but I'm p. sure the common cold still has no cure.
Since I switched to vaping last Sept. I've had the flu once and a cold once. Both times I cut way back until I was feeling somewhat better. I just didn't need the nic like I did when I was a smoker. When I smoked and was sick I barely changed my habit, I just felt worse doing it.
I had some bad colds while in my transition from smoking to vaping. I couldn't stand vaping and only craved for cigarettes, so on those few days I kept smoking and vaped very little. Since I've completely switched to vaping around three months ago, I haven't had a cough or cold, I just realized. I'm only 25 though and I can say my immune system is still strong.
About the 'excuse' you were saying, yeah, I can totally relate. For some reason having a cold used to make want to smoke more, both during the aforementioned transition phase and when I was still a smoker.

Being just on the tail end of a cold, I can say that I think vaping high menthol helped with the sinuses at least.
When I was vaping nic all the time I had a bottle of 0 mg juice to use when I was sick and the nic irritated my throat. I had no irritation with the 0 mg juice. I few hits with the nic juice throughout the day to keep the nic cravings away and the rest of the day vaping with the 0 mg juice worked well for me until I was feeling better. 
I think that vaping while sick comes down to the liquid. I'm just getting over a 'very' sore throat and the only thing I could vape for a few days was 'Chimera' from Madvapers (18mg) ... all other juices just killed my throat but for some reason Chimera didn't bother it at all.
I got my first cold since I started vaping as I write this. I'm vaping still and yes it does irritate my throat a little, mostly when I go to bed and try and fall asleep is noticed.
Feels better than when I smoked though. Had a good run so far without getting sick. Just too many kids in my family have colds right now, it was bound to happen. And the cold seems to be not lasting nearly as long as before.

Use to vape 18mg juice.

I've had a few colds since I started vaping last year. I started at 18 mg nicotine and have been at zero nic since the beginning of this year. I used to always smoke when I had a cold and it made the cold worse. Since I started vaping I have always continued to vape through colds and they last much less time than before. It didn't bother me with nic or without it now. I do pull vapor into my mouth and then inhale, not straight into my lungs. I have a theory that the PG being antimicrobial helps a bit, but have no proof of that. Hope your girlfriend gets better soon 
'ppreciate it. I got some menthol i'll have to try that out. I have yet to try 100% pg juice im kind of curious about that myself. It does make sense
That is exactly what I do. I figure it is like vicks and my mind does the rest!
