It might be neither; it could just be "quitter's cough".

Part of quitting smoking is the lovely fact that your lungs start repairing themselves. The gunk that has been caked on by smoking (tar and other stuff) starts to loosen and gets coughed up. Lungs didn't get dirty in a month or two, and getting them clean can take longer than a month or two as well.

I've only been quit for a couple of weeks so I haven't experienced the lung cleansing yet. However, have you changed your juice recently? I have no idea if PG or VG would do that so I'm asking for myself as well. :)

Saintly, looks like we're in the same boat. No cough and we quit about the same time. Pm when you start coughing. I'm ready for this stuff to come out!!

Ive heard people say they never coughed anything up after quitting. I did cough up a little at first, but it really hit me after about 2 months. Funny thing was I could run and bike much better after only a couple days of quitting

Vapor is a humectant. It will dry out your throat.

You need to drink more fluids everyday, or face minor dehydration that can cause the cough. Also, PG can cause a cough, it can still be your body repairing itself, or it that time of year. No matter what, KEEP DRINKING WATER!!!!! All of my co-workers/converts are too lazy to keep up the hydration, and they complain about the cough all the time.

Doesn't help we are drinkers and all around party-goers.

I only got a bit of a sore throat from the eliquid until i got used to it. It only happened while i was vaping, and it never made me cough up gunk. It was just a dry and slightly painful feeling. Water helped but not 100%. Doesnt happen anymore, this lasted maybe my first 2-3 weeks of vaping, and primarily in the morning

Will do. My cough subsided quite a bit when I switched but I do still get a cough on occasion after vaping. I'm using 100% PG at the moment and I had heard it takes a while for your body to get used to PG so I'm not surprised about that. I can feel my throat getting dry so I do make sure that I drink plenty of fluids to stay hydrated.

That's not really a problem for me. I had an issue with kidney stones a couple years back and after doing some analysis my doctor determined I was low on citric acid. Now I drink half a gallon of lemonade every day.

I had a really bad smokers cough before I stopped and had been coughing worse and worse over time for the last year, Ive been smoking for 40 years and most of that time a pad at times more.
When I quit analogs the day I started vaping I coughed like crazy, all this nasty stuff came up, I was using 100% PG. I went on like that for about 2 weeks. Now im not coughing but maybe once or twice a day. The stuff is not thick anymore and its clear. I can take a deep breath without coughing for 5 min after. The breaths are getting deeper and deeper as days go on.
Besure you drink plenty of water!
