Will vaping clean out your lungs ?

We know that stopping smoking lets your lungs do their own cleaning out. I don't know whether vaping would loosen it up or not or if there would be a way to study this since they will clean themselves over time anyway?
Acetilcysteine is much better and faster than those recipes... Ask your neumonologist for it...
Acetylcysteine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
You'll go on breathing .... from the environment, car exhausts, polluted air, and all sorts of things lung damaging. But at least it'll be at a slower pace than smoking. Your lungs won't be entirely clear. I was diagnosed with allergic asthma this winter, I was coughing non stop, but it turned out my cough stopped with teofilin, an asthma medication. Go pay a visit to your neumonologist, don't say you're vaping, most don't know a thing about vaping.
CMIIW but wouldn't vaping have the opposite effect? Since the ingredients in juice are humectants, they pull moisture out of the environment they are in, so vaping actually DEhumidifies your lungs.it might help but i dont know. maybe its like a tiny humidifier!
I can't speak much of PG vapor, other than it dehydrates me horribly, among other effects.
My VG juices, however, seem to have a bit of an expectorant effect on me. Some people report that VG seems to 'make their lungs feel heavy', which could mean that it tends to collect in them, and not readily absorb. I've got little understanding of what happens to it after you inhale it, though.
I don't think that there is much information on the subject, other than anecdotal, and my observations are that when I vape VG liquids heavily, it causes a productive cough occasionally. Not much, when I vape normally.

When I used to come down with bronchitis I would boil water, take it off the fire, drip eucalyptus oil in the water, put a towel over my head and the pot and breath. Kind of the same thing. Plus it deodorizes your house and improves your skin.

Not really. If you keep a 30% PG/ 70% VG it might happen. PG is an alcohol, EXTREMELY dehidrating.
