Certain flavors irritate my asthma and it's worse if I am laying down. Sorry to say it, but it seems to be the case. I still feel it's safer than smoking. I make my own liquids, and go very light on the flavors for this reason.
I have mild asthma (I hardly ever use a rescue inhaler, in fact) and high VG liquids, after a few hour use, make me feel short of breath. Far worse than analogs.
You haven't been an ex smoker for that long. When you quit smoking, the small hairs (cilia) on the inside of your lungs start to grow back and it starts to break up all the crap that is coating the inside of your lungs. When smoking, you burn away the cilia. Anyway, as that stuff breaks up, it can cause the wheezing you experience. You notice it more when laying down because you are more at rest and more in tune to what is going on with your body. Also, it is probably much quieter and you hear it better.
Very good point ^^. OP, how long have you been off the cigs? I have quit in the far past, cold turkey (lasted about 3 months). Even with complete cessation of any nicotine consumption, I had many physical symptoms as the effects of smoking left my system. The heavy chest when laying down never quite went away then (well, too short of an experiment, since I went back to smoking). Wheezing, smoker's cough dissipated some after 1 month.
This time, quitting with vaping, the physical expunging of the smoking tar and junk from my lungs took a similar time frame, maybe a little shorter, since I cut way back for a month or two before going 100% vape. I'd say maybe the vape, but seriously consider the effects that smoking cessation can cause. Somewhere there's a long list of symptoms of quitting smoking, not just quitting from vape, but any smoking cessation protocol, people can experience similar physical effects.
I can get a bit of a tight chest sometimes while vaping. Not bad but I feel it. I know I am allergic to some perfumes so I assume it is in whatever odd flavor I happen to be hitting hard on. If it is bad for you, you may need to experiment to find what to avoid . Also, asthma getting heavier upon reclining is not uncommon. Its called nocturnal asthma. I am not sure if this will help you but its my contribution.
I wheeze/cough/throat feels like I swallowed a hamster if vape more than 30% VG. I recently tried vaping a 50/50 blend from a vendor and it triggered a wheezing event.
lol yea but i am not the typical person i have many health problems was born with scoliosis so my front ribs are all deformed and i only have 30% lung capacity in my left lung that might have something to do with it 
I wheeze all the time. Having said that, I started smoking before I was a teen and I am 45 now. So I smoked for a lot of years. I am also waaayyy too big so that does not help. Yes I wheeze, a lot.
Try not inhaling in your lungs. Almost all of the vapor nic is absorbed there and your nasal cavity. There are many reasons you wheeze, may or may not be related to vaping. I wheezed when I smoked into my lungs, and I am not inhaling anything else into them except the best air I can get.
Best of luck brother, go see a Dr if it really concerns you

lol thanks i see doctors all the time but the only way i make a emergency trip to the doc is if i think i may die.
I haven't had a cig in 3 years and notice lots of chest congestion when smoking heavy vg juice, especially when laying down...kind of feels like breathing through a wet sponge... so yea i know where you are coming from.
yea i only wheeze when laying down and vaping at night. might be the added weight to my lungs or something idk lol but i am still alive for now so i guess that means its fine. lol
ill tell ya what...its a hellof a lot better than the coughing fits id wake up with when i smoked cigs.
yea i am so happy i was able to quit i honestly didn't think this would work for me but wow i was wrong. i still have half a pack of pall mall red 100's in my desk with the ash tray i used to use but i don't plan on touching them. maybe ill light a normal cig and see how i feel that i used to smoke them it will probably be a eye opener like wow how the hell did i smoke these. sort of thing.
that seems to be a common habit of people who switch I kept my pack of camel lights for about a year after I quit until I bummed a smoke off my brother in law and just about threw up....tossed em in the trash and havent look back once.
lol i will try it tonight and tell ya what my reaction is the worst part will be the smell. that is one main reason i quit i go to college at Northwest Missouri State University and i am going for my Bachelor of Computer Science Degree and in my freshman seminar class i got called out by some girls they were like do you smoke cause they could smell it and i told em yea but i am trying to quit. it was embarrassing and enough to make me buy my lavatube and quit smoking

You might have a mild case of asthma and never knew it. Two things will cause the wheez from mucous for me. Too much flavoring and too much VG. Some people get irritation and consequent mucous/wheez from PG but I don't. I can't, safely, go over around 30% VG without mucous accumulation if I lung inhale which I don't do unless accidentally. There are flavorings known to cause it too like cinnamon but any flavoring if too high will cause it for me.
Edit: If you're lung inhaling, which I don't recommend, then laying down you're inhaling deeper into your lungs. It will feel like its in your upper lung but it takes time for the cilia to move the mucous up to that point. It really starts deeper which is where it gets to laying down.
