I wish I would have known about this site before my first purchase but Thankfully I only purchased one model and not a bad one but not for me. My first was an Npro which was only a mediocre unit but it was enough for me to know that I wanted to get a better unit. I found this site then purchased the Joye 510 from Cignot along with a mega manual battery and the two automatic batteries to get me started. I also knew that I could not use the pg juices because of my COPD and got some vg juices. I got a couple different chargers and still need the passthrough which I will get soon when i order some more goodies. After over 35 years and 30-40 cigarettes a day, I can finally say that after the first evening, the next day I only had 8 cigarettes total and only a couple days I only had 4 cigarettes today and tomorrow will reach for even less tomorrow and hope to be total off analogs by the end of the week starting my new week smoke free. I also see my doctor next friday 12th and will get his feedback and have him look at how my breathing is being that I am just coming out of COPD episode with bronchitis. Coughing is still part of my life but breathing is slowly coming back and I can take a deep breath without choking. One day at a time but I am hooked. My next PV I think I will go with VPK. I love the juices tho and that will only grow in flavors. Thank you to all of you not only my life will be better but I have talked with 8 other people today who were first given this site to check out. We shall see.

Please do let us know what the results of any breathing and lung capacity tests you have done by your doctor as you continue to vape VG. I have early stage emphysema (per xray but almost no symptoms yet( and a small lung nodule which is being watched annually (no change in 3 years so far thank god).

I started on VG and I think it totally wrecked my breathing. Sent me into some sort of asthmatic crisis. I (per chance) borrowed my son's albuterol inhaler and it was like a miracle - I could breathe again !!!!!!:thumbs::thumbs::thumbs:(I've never been asthmatic before).

So I'm avoiding VG like the plague and sticking to PG and see what happens I guess - so far so good but I'm using the albuterol 2 times a day still. Do you use inhalers for your COPD and if so what is your regimen?

Also curious why you say that because you have COPD that you are avoiding PG? There's so much info here - I've probably missed something.

iclavdivs, My first purchase was the pg liquid and I thought I was going to die. I have not had to use my inhalers at all and I am feeling much better. I really think it is a matter of the individual. Everyone is different and while some of us like and have better results with the PG there are those who do better with the vg. Good Luck to you and yes I will let everyone know how my tests go.
