I had the opposite... I have terrible allergies and sinus problems, and always walked around with at least one nostril rock stolid, both running, and sneezing like crazy. Haven't had an analog since last Saturday, and for the last two days I'm breathing freely, wife says I'm not snoring at night, and no drainage down the throat making it raw...

Is your juice PG or VG based? Sounds like you might be having an allergic reaction to it. If I had to guess, I'd say that your using a PG-based liquid. Maybe try VG and see if it works out better?

Other way around for me. I did have a minor cold last month, and vaping was much more comfortable than smoking would have been, except for possibly drying my throat out a little more.

I also suffer from pretty bad allergies, especially sinus problems, but I don't find that vaping makes them any worse.

I can't think of anything to suggest except allergy meds or a nasal decongestant. Maybe a dehumidifier...?

I've had a nasty cold and sore throat for the last couple of days. While the vaping may not be helping my throat, I think it's helping to clear out my lungs. May just be because I quit smoking, but I'm coughing stuff up, and feeling a little better every time I do.

I've already noticed that I breathe a little deeper now. Didn't think that would happen so fast.
