Good Troll post.
Been having Lung Lung issues for 14 months and come to a Forum rather than a Dr.
...............ummm.......okay.
Haven't communicated with others on helpful equipment usage, Nicotine levels, e-liquid ratios.................Nothing.
Just - I think Vaping is Causing Damage.
My Recommendation.
Either spend Productive time learning everything you are doing WRONG and correcting, or:
QUIT
I actually hate posting this way, but OP, you sound like someone with No Vaping experience.
Please List your Exact:
Brand and model of Power device
Type and Resistance of Atomizer
Brand and Blend/Nic strength of all E-liquids used, including Flavor
(If Adjustable) Power settings, Air Flow settings
Every Aspect of your Experience helps in determining you problem with your Vape, if indeed it is the Vape at fault.

Wow, thanks for that helpful post. Not
I'm not a troll. I admit that I have been ignorant in my vaping, and I don't know as much as I probably should. That is why I have come here to seek advice. I didn't realise how much there was to learn about vaping.i haven't been to the doctors for a number of reasons. Main reason is because I know that the first thing they will tell me is to give up vaping. And I'm not ready to give up.
I also haven't been having issues for the past 14 months, only since I switched to a box mod, which you would have realised had you read my original post properly

In reply to others. I vape directly into my lungs, short capes about 2-3 seconds each
Quite honestly, visit your doctor. You may have an issue completely unrelated to vaping. Better safe than sorry. Worst case is the doctor tells you to quit vaping, by the way they would definitely of told you to quit smoking.
If you are having to use your mod often, then likely hood is that your nic level is too low. I would try a higher nic level at lower power levels, and vape less. It sounds like you did not have an issue until you switched to a higher power vape.

Now fill in the Requested Info.
Serious people generally ask for help rather than start threads with
Negative Titles -
Worried about lung damage
There are Hundreds of thousands of hours of Experience here.
Ask, don't assume.
Also, What are you calling Rollups?
Cigarettes or RYO tobacco?
Traditional Cigarettes are Far worse than most RYO as there is a Chemical Cocktail added during Production.
Please offer the information requested to get everyone on an even field or this thread could easily have ten thousand different, maybe right - maybe wrong, tips.
When?!? It has been 14 months and you have yet to go see one
Jeez guys, can we back off on the OP just a tad??
Or is everyone in Full-on Cranky Mode this morning?

I will fill in as much as I know. In reference to what I meant by roll ups. Roll your own, golden Virginia
Now for the vaping related stuff
Battery is an innokin cool fire 4
Tank is innokin iSub
Says on my coil box 0.5 ohm (20-35W)
E liquids are 50/50 pura lite gold
Sometimes use black magic 80VG/20PG and have the same issues
I have my battery on 20W. It is adjustable from 6W-40W. Any higher then 20 W though, and it burns. Don't know about air flow settings

Lol
I noticed the forums are kinda "prickly"
Today.
Few members may be suffering from "brown bottle flu", some of use are just our normal crotchety selves.
Now get the hell off my lawn.
So you've used 50% VG and 80% VG, and had the same issue -- have you not tried ANY higher PG ejuice? Because the problem you described sounds exactly like what quite a few of us have experienced when using too much VG for our bodies. I don't assume you're trolling; I got spanked for that yesterday, and I realize that none of us start vaping with a full knowledge of vaping -- we all have to learn as we go, a little at a time. But it really sounds like you need to try some higher PG ejuice; at least 70%, though 80% would help correct the problem you're having, and maybe you could eventually back off to 70/30. High VG is very popular these days, so much that it's hard to find high PG ejuice, but high VG or even moderate VG is very definitely not for everyone.
Also, if you're vaping at 20w or higher, you may need to back off that a little; 10 or 15 watts maybe -- the reason that some of us are "tootle puffers" is because we just can't tolerate a lot of heat or a lot of vapor, and the higher the wattage, the more heat AND vapor will be produced.

Nothing seems out of place to my eyes with your setup or usage.
I will still recommend that you stop vaping and get to a doctor post haste to rule out something that will put you in hospital, like bronchitis or pneumonia.
"When in doubt, have it checked out."
Probability says that it's a reaction to the PG or VG in the e-liquid, with a smaller chance that it's a reaction to the flavorings. I see Andria has just posted some advice on how you can see if it's a VG-based reaction.
Thank you Becki
Now, some things we can take in General and Others will need Equipment experienced responses.
i.e. - *PG/VG ratios. Since you say High VG has the same effect, for now, I would avoid Vaping a thicker e-liquid until things are sorted. Some of us(45yr. smoker) have a tough time if we over vape thicker e-liquids. It just taxes the weakened lungs.
*Tank/Atomizer - Owners may be able to offer specific experience with (x) resistance coils/air adjustment(if any) and Coil performance.
If over 20w causes Burning(like 21w) you may need to leave a bit more head room- 18w. If liquid is near burning, it is also near Dry hitting, or there is not enough Air Flow to balance coil temp.
Again thank you, and if you do not mind..........
What exactly was the Setup that Was working well?
3 good Questions in problem solving.
What worked?
What is not working?
What changed?
Before trying anything else. Go to your Dr and get your lungs tested. If all is well then it's an issue with vaping.
Hi becki ok you have to go to your doctor however much you might not want too it has to be your first course of action. Now onto your vaping I'd stop the direct lung inhales straight away and vape the same way you used to smoke. Increasing your pg level may also help you, personally I can't vape anything with more then 30% VG as I get issues. You'll have to excuse some members I think they are spending too much time on forums reading the junk or perhaps just a bad day but it might help some of them to remember not everyone likes doctors or hospitals and basically have to be on their last legs to go I know because despite multiple health issues I loathe going and have a GP that complains he doesn't see enough of me.
Opposite to me. I sometimes get reactions while vaping more than 30% PG. Not always, but sometimes. Difficulty to breath and etc.
Vapez
Tightness, coughing, and excessive mucus sounds a great deal more like too much VG, than too much PG. PG causes irritation, burning, that sort of thing, if one is sensitive to it. And the OP has already stated that she has the problem with either 80% VG or 50% VG -- both are a lot of VG.

Hi and welcome,
A few quick thoughts:
1. Learn about and use the air flow control on your tank.
2. Turn your watts down by 25-30%.
3. Try to source some liquid from ANY other company. Perhaps something in the base or flavours used by Blackmagic/puregold are contributing to your issues.
Good luck
