Breathing problems from ecigs?

Thanks for quick reply KMS; and yes I have definitely been chain vaping heavily like I was with cigarettes, and also often changing juices. I was definitely over doing it! That I know for fact. Do you think I should try the 100% VG of the juices I have that I mentioned above? Or take your suggestion and just choose one juice to vape? Thanks again KMS...Whatever I do I would have to "slow down", that is necessary or prior.....
 
Def try the wov 100%vg , but i would hazard a guess that you were caning it to hard ,

slow down man

chillax ..
 
ADAM if you have been chainvaping with 24mg juice no wonder you were feeling ill!
I would agree with KMS though, choose one liquid and try that for a few days, while it might be a horrible thought, you may have to try all your juices to find the trigger.
It also might be a good idea to list EVERYTHING that you use to vape on here, then keep reporting back as to how it is going?
We can all keep an eye on you and the thread, could be helpful if others have similar problems in the future, so we can have a reference point.
Anyway, good luck bud and try and stick with it ;)
 
Thanks Doofry and cliffo, and yes, definitely caning it too hard, as you say, on 24mg and chainvaping morning till night!! What can I expect...
 
Also, if you are chaining it, that means your body is screaming at you :) 24mg nicotine might not be enough. I bet on 36mg you wont be chain vaping as much either. Waves of Vapour should be able to pull off a 36mg mix for you (send her an email or a PM here on the forum Judy@WavesOfVapour )

I started at 36mg and stayed around 24 for nearly a year, then down to 18 and now I bounce between 9mg and 18mg depending. on 18mg I barely vape at all :)



But yes, the PG and the constant vaping is going to give you an achy feeling, your lungs after all were designed for one function and only one, to breath in oxygen ;)
 
ADAM, so sorry to read you have had problems mate. I have the breathing problems, however, mine are also copd related. I had to see my doctor today and told him that I had packed up the stinkies and was vapeing, he said fine, no problem there. But then I went on to tell him that I was suffering from serious breathing problems and tightness of the chest more in the evening. He told me that this was a side effect of the giving up the stinkies and my copd. He told me it will get easier over a period of time and that using my inhaler would help as well.. Might be worth popping in and seeing your doctor and explaining the situation to them... Don't give up mate, you can do it :)
 
Don't give up hope! As others have said, it sounds as if you might have jumped in a little too enthusiastically. In addition to what others have said, I'd suggest trying to phase the vaping back in gradually. Start by replacing a single fag break at work with a vape (ideally at a higher nic content so that you're vaping less to get rid of the craving). If that suits you, switch your after-dinner fag to an after-dinner vape (or whatever). If I remember right, you were a 40 a day man, and cutting out all those stinkies at once AND caning the vaping, which is a new thing for your body to get used to, is a hell of a big change all at once. If it takes weeks, months or years to totally make the switch, give yourself permission to take that time. As a wise man once told me (well, actually is was Doofry, but close enough...) it's the cigarettes you don't smoke that count. We're all behind you.
 
Could the breathlessness not be a mild panic attack caused by the craving?

Hello Adam, I like you was a very heavy smoker for 45 years. I decided to give ecigs a go basically health/money. I started on ecigs 3 years ago with a basic elite look alike and then progressed onto a Riva/Ego510 with CE04 CLEARO. I still use them. I find they do exactly what I want them to do so why would I change what is suiting me. You might find the PG is not suiting you, some people can't get on with it. Try a VG based liquid and a lower nicotine content of say 24mg. I like tobacco flavours. After all, you are trying to substitute the 'real fag' so go for the taste as though you had a real fag. Works for me. Fruit flavours do nothing for me, I don't get it at all! And also, after smoking all those years, don't forget, you have a load of crap on your lungs that needs to come up as any ex smoker will tell you, persevere my friend, you will be glad you did in the long run! I know I was! The 510's will give enough kick to make you give up the fags. Go for a 24mg nicotine liquid, tobacco flavoured, and say 60 VG 40PG and see how you get on, but go gently, I get my liquid from bestcigliquid.co.uk They are brilliant at getting you what you need. Good luck, and don't give up! xx
