Hi there,
I'm trying to reduce from duelling to just vaping , but........
I find vaping seems to make me very wheezy sounding, does anyone else find this?

I duelled for a week and was coughing quite a bit then it settled down when i went off the cigs and just vaped do you feel ok otherwise i used to wheeze then get chest infection

Could be a few things going on -

  • The less you smoke the more your lungs recover. This can make you feel worse short-term as all the gunk starts to dislodge.
  • you might be a bit sensitive to PG, this is very common. You could try a higher VG liquid, or 100% VG if it's a real problem.
  • The tongue thing could be a sensitivity to particular flavours. I can't vape most fruit flavours because they make my mouth sore and swollen. Also check the tank isn't spitting drops of juice into your mouth.

The nicotine level is unlikely to cause these sorts of problems and you might find it harder to quit the remaining fags if you cut down the nicotine at the same time. You could try it though if the above suggestions don't work.

How long have you been vaping for? IME most people cough and wheeze a bit when they first start. It usually gets better over the first few days as your body gets used to it and you learn the different technique that vaping requires. You don't have to inhale much, or at all, if it's uncomfortable. The nicotine is mostly absorbed through your mouth, nose and throat.

Make sure you are drinking plenty. Vaping can dry you out a bit and also drinking water helps loosen up any mucus you have on your chest.

Thanks stars and plenty.

Good point on the spitting liquid( the spinner not me ...stars lol ) i had it do it into my eye the other day...Ouchy.
Yes am doing strawberry/tutti frutti flavours.was on the vanilla custards a while.
I have been a bit Ill lately, but I think it could be the duelling- I just can't seem to cut those morning ones! Trouble is if I buy 10 fags , with the view to having just the morning one, I end up smoking them all!
I've had 3 this morn and am not going out anymore to get any today as it's ridiculous.the main two reasons im trying to stop are money and health an ironically the money is bothering me more at present!

Grin those morning cigs were a bugger to lose you get though op Smile

I've had to change my morning routine slightly to avoid missing the first glorious fag of the day. I find once my hair is washed and my teeth brushed that I don't want it!

starsandunicorns · 21/03/2015 23:16

Oh that's good crispandfruity well done just keep thinking about the ones you are not smoking Smile
