Anyone else wheeze after a bit? I know this guy also does effects of ecigs on breathing - Blogs - E-Cigarette Forum

Only when I get too much PG, or anything vanilla.

I was also thinking pg build up.

And also imagine all the tar that is finally breaking free.. a lot of people get sick (some as bad as flu-like symptoms) after they quit smoking. Don't automatically assume it's the vaping -- could be ! But doesn't need to be!

If you're having a reaction to the toxins leaving your body, or you are sick and your throat is aggravated, vaping a soothing menthol would be ideal. Honey was one I found nice too.

PS if you're really new to vaping, try taking slower, longer inhales, and holding it in your mouth for a few. Inhale air slowly. It's very different from smoking a cigarette.

EDIT: oh and also, I am wheezing right now as I vape -- but it's environmental -- caught an icky throat bug.

medium or high nic in 100% PG can be very harsh, and can even irritate mouth, throat, lungs. Most of my juices have 20-30% VG and a few are 50/50.

Not ever, maybe its residual effects of the smoking days and your lungs clearing up.

Are you using pg or vg liquids? Could be flavorings used or pg or vg.. I dont think this has anything to do with effects of stopping smoking..

Never had weezing problems. It could be that all the crap that has built up is finally breaking free or it could be an allergy to PG. I had itchy, dry skin when I first started vaping and someone suggested to me that it was the PG. I ordered VG only juices then gradually added the PG back in. Now I can vape any ratio thrown in my direction.

Edit: I went through a coughing spell on the 4th day that lasted about 2 days. I was coughing up nasty goo balls out of my lungs but still no wheezing.

I use 80 pg / 20 vg mix, and I have only smoked a few real cigs ever....

So why are you vaping if you really don't smoke?

 

[VapeSnake_Eric]

[meems]

[VapeSnake_Eric]

Maybe was using xhale o2 (Riva otw)

 

[Fuzzoff]

I dont wheeze too much but if i laugh too hard i cough

 

[VapeSnake_Eric]

It is not real bad goes away after a bit.

Most folks are bothered by PG. I'm bothered by VG. It leaves me short of breath and wheezing.

If you smoked previous to vaping, you have to factor that in: "...a minority of those who give up cigarettes...may notice an increased narrowing of their bronchial tubes so that any wheeze they already have is increased. Fortunately these are only short term effects that last for a few months."

Some people have sensitivity to some of the flavors....

 

[rolygate]

There is a very wide range of materials that can be used in e-liquid. Some people will be intolerant to some of them. It means that if you have a problem then you need to get hold of a wide variety of alternatives, and change to one of the new ones for about four days to see what happens.

There are different types of VG, so you need to obtain samples from several different suppliers, if there is any VG in the liquid - and especially if you are using all-VG. This problem does not seem to affect PG.

There are numerous types of flavorings and some can be problematic for some people. The obvious thing to do if you have a problem is to obtain samples of the simplest possible liquid with the least flavor in it.

It takes about four days to fully judge the effects of a new brand, but about a week to get rid of wheezing caused by a brand that you were incompatible with.

This is not a reason to take up e-cigs.
