Why am I wheezing?

[nwohiopma]

I quit cigs 14 years ago and was on the gum until last year when I started smoking 1/2 pack/day and still using some gum. I picked up the cigs again because of stress from an ill relative.

I endorse what Panorama911 says.

How long have you been off the analogues?

I brought up some horrible filth from my lungs for nearly three months after stopping the cigarettes, and it eventually went watery until it stopped after about five months.

It could be your lungs purging a lot of years of abuse.

In any case, see your Doctor.

Here is a Thread about someone using 100% VG and having some Congestion Problems.

You could be. I can't tolerate too much VG. My chest gets really heavy feeling and congested. Reminds me of when I smoked. I do what Danny said if, for some odd reason, I have higher VG. I recently started adding 3% .9% saline.

I went back to my innokin ego today and no more wheezing.

Well then it is Definitely the MVP.

Can I make a Suggestion? Set your MVP to Volt Mode. And then set the Volts at 3.8 Volts. Then see if it gives you about the Same Hit as you eGo.

If your MVP at 3.8 Volts Doesn't Hit like your eGo, move the Volts Up or Down until it does.

If it Does, Cool. Try using it for a Day and see if you Wheezing comes back. It Shouldn't.

I'm thinking that being in Watt Mode is what is Causing the Problem.

I just tried it - burnt taste. Down to 3.3 is better. I'll try that for a while. Thanks

Please explain how wattage and voltage can cause a reaction such as the OP?...Not to be sarcastic, I really have no clue how, other than heat, could be a causation. And if it is heat related how it could not affect the mouth yet affect the lungs and bronchial tubes...Please enlighten me!

I think something may be Wrong with your MVP? Because 3.8 Volts should be Close to your eGo.

I wish someone who Has a MVP would chime in.

If the Ohms of an Atomizer doesn't change, then Volts and Watts are Tied together via Ohms Law.

More Volts = More Watts. Less Volts = Less Watts.

What a MVP (or any VW device) does when in Watt Mode is Measure the Ohms of the Atomizer, do some Quick Math, and then it sets the Voltage to what will Achieve the Watts that the User has set the Device to.

The Advantage to this is if you Switch Ohms a lot because you switch from Tank to Clearo to Carto to RBA a lot, the device can make the Adjustments for you so Theoretically all the Hits Should be about the same. No Matter what Ohms your Using.

For the OP, something sounded wrong. Because He/She mention that the MVP "P" button was set to 6.5.

If the "P" means Power, and since Watts is a Measure of Power, 6.5 Watts doesn't sound like a Very Hot or Harsh Hit. If it is 6.5 Volts, then Yeah, that's gonna be Smoking Hot.

Because Watts = (Volts x Volts)/Ohms.

Then the OP said that their Tank was 1.8 Ohms. And it worked fine on there eGo.

A Non-VV eGo has a Fixed Voltage of about 3.9 Volts. So the Watts that the OP finds works for That tank is...

(3.9 x 3.9) / 1.8 = 8.45 Watts

So if the MVP is set to 6.5 Watts, and it is in Watt Mode, the Hit should have Tasted kinda Weak. Because the MVP is set to Less that His/Her eGo.

But it Didn't. It Tasted Burnt.

So that is why I told the OP to try turning the 6.5 Down until it worked. And He/She did and found that 3.3 seemed OK.

Ok so Maybe the 6.5 was Volts. And not Watts.

It's just hard to Know what is Going on When I don't have one in my Hands. Or what the Menus look like.

BTW - I sent out an Emergency Bat Call to MVP Owners.

If someone has a Second, can they Pop over and see if they can Help this Member?

http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/new-members-forum/569259-why-am-i-wheezing.html#post13316440

I'm trying to Help Him/Her but am Not a MVP Owner.

BTW - Does a MVP have a RMS and AMS mode like a Valmo does. Maybe that is Part of His/Her Problem?

http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...on/473345-itaste-mvp-v2-owners-group-276.html

So Help should be On the Way.

 

[Panorama911]

I cannot say for certain but the MVP is a fixed RMS I think.

So I am to assume you are feeling the issue is heat related then? ....Getting a burnt hit will choke the toughest of mankind so I assume this is what you are driving at.

 

[garyoa1]

Try your ego tank on the MVP and see what it's like. (it will fit)

Yeah... Something is Up.

Because if someone some one is OK or Like they way a Tank Hits on a Fixed Voltage eGo, then they Should get about the Same Hit on their MVP if there MVP is in Volt Mode and set for about 3.9 Volts.

And setting the MVP to 3.3 Volts should give them a Very Weak Hit.

The OP tried that. It Didn't works all that Great.

Ok, the ego tank is is on the MVP and reading 2.6. What do I set the "P" button at? Thanks

Start at 3.7 and back it down and increment at a time if it still tastes burnt until it tastes right.

When your wheezing first occurred, were you using a different tank than your ego. If so, was it the tank that came with your MVP? Was the new tank an iClear 30? What brand tank came with your ego setup?

edited, nevermind I reread your original post. It could have been the tank that came with your MVP. It is a dual coil top feed so you may have not been used to how much vapor it was feeding you?

Have you had enough time yet with your old tank on the mvp to tell if the wheezing is better?

 

[Panorama911]

P= Wattage...try 6.5 then adjust up if needed

Hi nwohiopma,

You have lots of peeps here giving you good advice. I hope you do not mind if I chime in.......

If you have recently picked cigs back up and are trying to put them down again there are a few things to note.
100% VG and still using or recently quitting cigs can cause more congestion/wheezing as your lungs are trying to expel the bad stuff. I know this from experience with my asthma that flares up during allergy season and vg do not get along. If I may suggest using 70pg/30vg, 60pg/40vg, or even 50pg/50vg juices. It really shouldn't matter if you are using an EGO or MVP. That being said you may want to try your MVP set at 3.4 volts - 3.7 volts, to do this you hold the U button until you see the U3.3 (lowest amt voltage will go) and then press the U button until you reach U3.4-3.7. That will probably give you the amount of heat you are currently getting with the ego. Save the 100%vg you have now for later once your lungs have cleared from what ever irritation you have now. If you try it again and have the same issue arise then you will know that you need a lower vg.

 

[nwohiopma]

My ego tank is a Smok bottom coil, but it's plastic. I bought Smok Tech Pyrex Aro tanks for the MVP because I didn't want to crack the plastic ones, as I eventually want to try other flavors except the mint I have now.

Start at 3.7 and back it down and increment at a time if it still tastes burnt until it tastes right.

Doh! You're right, scratch my advice on wattage and go with this instead.

 

[clnire]

MVP is volts or watts. RMS I believe. 2 control buttons, U = volts P = watts. 6.5 I would think is a watts setting. Have not read the whole thread just saw the plea on the MVP thread and although I am not most knowledgable and hopefully others will come help but thought I would post at least this. I will go back and read the whole thread.

pardon the typos, on my phone
