Vaping while sick.

[Rabbit Chaser]

Last week I got my first cold of the season. One day I was happily vaping on some new Five Pawns Queenside and the next I was thinking there was something wrong with the juice or my vape. Then the symptoms came on with the stuffy nose and all that so it made sense. I am almost a week into the cold and the only way I can taste juice is if I drip, which I hate doing. I always lose my taste buds when I am sick so I should not be surprised but gosh...I sure would like to taste my juice. Until I am better, I have put away my Five Pawns bottle (stuff is too expensive to waste if you can't taste!) and am going through a bunch of samplers that I wasn't fond of. Oh well, at least the nicotine doesn't have to be tasted to work!

I'd just remember: better to vape while sick and not be able to taste it than to smoke until dead. Just a thought.

Hope you feel (and taste) better soon.

If you have any breathing issues, it's handy to remember that the majority of nicotine absorption occurs in the mouth tissues, so you can puff like a cigar and still get your nic. It's easier on the throat and lungs. Hope you feel better soon!

Usually when I am sick with a cold I will switch over to a menthol juice. The menthol really seems to help with keeping my airways and nose clear. I DIY mix my own a little stronger for these times and it is kind of like vaping a cough drop.

When I get stuffed up and can't taste anything, that's when I vape the samples I've gotten that didn't taste good, that way I save the good stuff for when I can taste.
