How do I keep from coughing?

[Celeigh87]

Sometimes when I switch juices or vape after not doing so for a couple of hours, the vapor causes me to cough when I inhale. I use no/low nicotine juices. How do I keep vaping from making me cough?

One thing I noticed after I quit smoking is that the vapor from ejuice is a lot different from smoke. It takes your throat (at least in my experience) some time to get used to. Sometimes on my first vape of the day it makes me cough. Then I take another sip and my throat begins to get used to it and it goes down smoothly. Doesn't always happen, but if you just take a few small pulls it goes away quickly

Yep, start with little puffs and work up to longer in hales.
If you can adjust the power, turn it down and work your way up slowly.

take smaller drags

Increased PG will bring a "hotter" vape and your throat may not like that. I stay closer to 50/50. Increasing the air flow will also cool things a bit. I have a couple of long drip tips and the vape cools (slightly) from that.

All added together will make a noticeable difference.

This usually works for me, especially first thing in the morning.

Luckily I had ZERO bad side effects from switching to vape. However I did experience a slight sore throat when vaping 80PG / 20VG. I went to 70/30 and just that little adjustment was all I needed. I now use 70/30 to 50/50 in my juices.

to ecf Celeigh87 . Nice to meet you and so glad that you are here. Sorry you seem to be having a small issue. Are you knew to vaping? If you are, I think the coughing is just something that you will get over with time. If you have been vaping a good bit and you are still coughing, I would read this on inhalation. You might find out something to do that will help.

Have you thought about playing with the percentage of pg/vg? You could always get some vg at Walmart and dilute down your juice just a tiny bit and see if that helps. Just a thought. I so hope that one of the suggestions on this thread helps you. Let us know how you are doing and what works for you. It could help others that have had this particular problem. Good luck to you and I wish you well.

I only cough if I take too large of a pull. Right now I'm using a 50/50 blend. I am vaping to quit smoking so I'm using 12 to 18mg nicotine but have a tank with 0mg in it for the flavor (because at home I tend to vape a lot and I don't like nicotine sickness). I don't notice a difference between nicotine vs nicotine free pulls, both can make me cough. My suggestion is the same as everyone else's, take smaller pulls.

If your atomizer can handle it, I would try a more VG heavy juice or diltute your current juice with VG as someone else mentioned. Luckily I was able to jump right into RDAs because I was familiar with electrical theories. My throat was getting irritated bad until I switched to max VG. Try it if you can. I've been a happy vaper since.
