Why am I coughing when vaping?

[Maiar]

I do lung hits most of the time. It takes a couple weeks from starting to get used it though.

Jan...

I am poorly right now and am unable to tolerate vaping other than 1 or 2 puffs at a time.

Please don't read too much into your coughing.... even if you are inhaling the gentlest way, it's likely to be ripping your throat just now...

When I first vaped I had the same issue, but it went away after a week/10 days. I have gone back to smoking, for a week or so, twice since I've been vaping (strangely, I don't feel as devastated by some that I've done that thing), and each time I have gone back to vaping, the same thing has happened: for about a week, as soon as I inhale the vapour as far as my throat, I start uncontrollably coughing and spluttering.

I think that it's simply that the analogues damage your throat to the point that it's red-raw, but by some mechanism anaesthetise it at the same time. As soon as I've been vaping long enough for my throat to recover it's all good.

Some juice I have tried is just bad stuff. Most of the stuff you get at a smoke shop is bad, made with cheap ingredients. If you have a real vape shop close to you go in and sit down with someone. They will be more then happy to help. Try out all of their juice and see what kind of mixture and flavors you like. With me, I have to have a 100% VG or as close to it as I can. PG is hard on my sinuses for some reason. Try out 0 nic and go up until you find your sweet spot, mine is 6 but when i started I was told to start at 24 and I almost died coughing so don't just jump in at 24 (imo). I now vape on a Dark Horse at .2ohms and go through batteries every 3 hours but as i get the cigarettes out of my lungs I'm sure I'll be able to cut that back a little. Also when I first started I coughed up a lot of tar so be ready for that as well. Hang in there you'll love it once you find you juice and sweet spot!

When I 1st started vaoing I used to cough also. After about 3 days I was gtg, You body just need to adapt to vapor instead of smoke.

Maybe try to switch to lighter e-liquid. Not necessary just the nic level. It could be PG/VG ratio or flavor. I never had choking issue but when i try to get my friends to vape, they all kind of choke and cough. What i notice is when i switch the flavor to a more fruity 1, they no longer choke. Maybe the flavours you using just doesn't cut in for you. Try switching to another flavour.

I'm using Banana Split flavour at the moment - tastes OK, but will need to either use it up, or buy another clearomiser to fill with a different flavour. Quite fancy the Strawberry and Champagne flavour - might try that next.

I had a similar issue when I switched over. The coughing subsided a week or two after for myself. I would say give it some time because your lungs are starting to live again. You also should start noticing that your body is expelling all the build up of nasty chemicals from the cigarettes which will also cause you to cough.

I hacked mylungs out when I was smoking and vaping. when I stopped smoking the coughing stopped.

I only coughed with v2cigs on .6 nic, I feel that carts make me cough but actual eliquid doesnt

I'm coughing anyway as I have bronchitis. So with that and getting used to vaping and my lungs clearing out from the real cigs, I'm having a right old time. Not to mention the morning breezhaler my doc prescribed which sets me off as soon as I inhale. The evening one is much milder. So much coughing my ribs hurt.

If I had my life over again, I would never have started smoking.
