Hi @Tezhar and welcome.
I'll not confuse you anymore but will add that the higher the PG content in your juice the more it will irritate your cough and probably your overall condition.
That said its probably the better of the few ingredients in ejuice because of its antibacterial properties.
Do some research and ask questions on here as I'm sure we'll be able to enhance your vaping experience for you.

It's gonna sound like Monty Python's 4 Yorkshiremen but I have just stopped smoking after 50 years !! (25 yr Filters and past 25 Rollies) and got worsening COPD. Started when I was 13 and I'm 63 now. I'm actually amazed at how easy I found it. But I'm sure it's because I've been experimenting with different liquids.
At the moment I have 4 different Vapers on the go and have about 10 different Tobacco plus one with toffee flavour (yeah really lol) which I find takes the roughness off the bitter Baccy flavours. I'm waiting for some Vanilla too to mix, I'm thinking, just to mellow the tobacco a bit.
Have you one with the variable voltage ? I vary that between 3.5v and 4.2v. On 2 of my Vapers ( Itazte ) It's got a power buton too so I've had to play about with that so I'm not chocking.
.
I do keep on going to reach for my tobacco tin but just vape straight away. Takes time to break old habits

Anyway all the best mate and wish you luck , Tom

I turned 50 the other day. I was diagnosed with COPD about 8 years ago but continued to smoke with the occasional vein attempt at stopping smoking. I have successfully used the vape on most of these occasions but didn't care enough to stay stopped.

I have decided to take my life seriously now and its day one of the vape. Problem is that it is making me cough this time round. It may be that my COPD has progressed and trying to reject the e cig? I am hoping that in a couple of days my body will get used to the vape over the roll up cig.

Don't say that I need not being putting anything in my lungs. I am a hardcore nicotine addict and smoked for 39 years. I need something in my lungs

Did you find the e cig made you cough at first? And did you get used to it?

Hi Again, Been thinking about the coughing. Just wondering if maybe you got a lung infection and maybe need a course of antibiotics from your GP ? I've been on Inhalers most of my life , don't know about yourself but maybe an inhaler or stronger one might help too.
Word of caution though, I got a mate who was all for trying a Vape but he just got a new inhaler which is really helping , so he reckons he don't need a Vape now ! Guess he'll carry on till he gets cancer (was what I said to him) . Just my 2p. Wish you luck. Wish I'd give them up when I was 50 and maybe I'd be able to walk up a flight of stairs without stopping now. Cheers Tom. Let me know how you get on
