I went to vaping BECAUSE of the cough. Never had a cough, then went a couple of months of daily morning hacking and a constant chest rumble. Got tired of it, so tried vaping in desperation, this was on a Saturday. Monday my chest was clear, no rumbling. No hacking. A couple of coughs the first week, nothing serious, but clear. Third week I can't keep my throat clear but my nose is, so apparently my chest is sweeping the gunk up to my throat. But no coughing (yay!) anymore.
 
Weirdly, although I did cough *while* smoking, I swear I never coughed while quitting. I was quit for 5+ years before taking up vaping so I know for sure it never happened. ;)

I remember waiting and waiting for "all the black stuff" to come up like I'd been reading about on quitting forums, and it just never happened, period.

I was a 2+ pack/day smoker for 25 years.

Wow! Quit for five years!!!!! Good for you! Even tho u didn't cough, I'm sure you breath better, huh? I can and my shortness of breath is getting better too. Ya, hate to admit it, I was getting short of breath a lot this past year. It kind of crept up on me or more like, it was happening and I think I chose to ignore it.

Scares the heck out of me to even say I had SOB. Geez, the damage those damn analogs can cause...it's sickening I even smoked in the first place.

I did frequently have shortness of breath...and I'd get this scary "no oxygen" thing where my head would pound and I'd be dizzy...very, very, very scary.

I definitely breathe better with vaping v. smoking...there just is no comparison!
