Ok, as I've just quit smoking - unintentionally by the way (I took up vaping in order to save money and by yesterday just 14 days later found I couldn't stand the taste of the real ones) I've decided to start a thread detailing my lung function and O2 saturation levels as well as pulse. Pulse readings might be a bit skewed as at 22 stone I could be best described as a tad overweight or possibly just fecking enormous . However I do have access to a peak flow meter and a pulse / oximeter so I will take weekly readings. This will allow us all to see what changes Vaping makes to my health and at least put some measurable if not particularly scientifically rigorous numbers to those results...
Today on peak flow: 370, 370, 400
Today on Pulse: 99!
Today on O2:94%
As a bench mark my 72 year old father who has Pulmonary fibrosis blew 350, Pulse 104, O2: 95%
In future I will include only my own results but this gives a base to start from.
Oooh just thought of this - Tommorrow I will take O2 readings (which I'll call sats from now on - short for Blood Oxygen saturation) Before, During and After vaping which will give some interesting data too...
For information: Peak flow is taken as three readings using a standard mini-wright peak flow device and pulse / sats using a finger clamp type infra red pulse oximeter.
In future all posts with readings will have the title formatted as "Readings for DD-MM-YY", this will make them easier to find within the thread amongst the other comments and ideas...
Thank you all for your interest and participation...
