Hi and thanks tsoko

Hi BeOne and welcome ... I have just returned to the AAEC fold after an absence so am kinda new myself. Congrats on your quitting success ... keep at it one day at a time

[BeOne]

Cheers and thanks @yinyang. Congrats on coming back. One day at a time it is. On to day 12 and although I have a couple of thoughts a day it is manageable

[Chrissie]

Congrats on 12 days BeOne - you are doing brilliantly

[BeOne]

Thanks Chrissie. On to day 13 now . For someone who has never stopped for a day in 30 years I'm pretty proud of myself. Over the last few days I have cold like symptoms. Blocked and runny nose, lots of phlegm, and general lethargy. Hopefully this is just withdrawal and nothing to do with vaping. I did have a bit of heavy lung for a couple of days too but I think that's the juice I'm using. All my juices are 80% VG but one is noticeably thicker than the others. Sods law as it's the one I like the most thus far!

Anyway, onwards

BeOne you are probably aware of this already but it is important to drink plenty of fluids when vaping to avoid a lot of the symptoms you are experiencing ... on the other hand it might just be coincidence that you have summer cold. Anyway well done so far, stick with it mate

That's more than likely your bod de-toxing after years of smoking BeOne . . . .  to a greater or lesser extent we've all experienced some symptoms initially, which do settle down in time. 

You can always thin down your favourite VG heavy eliquid with a little vodka or purified/distilled water if you think that would help. Between 5-10% - which isn't likely to have any great effect on the flavour.

Aye @yinyang we do a lot of running and cycling so my water in take is probably greater than the average bear. Always have a glass of water at hand

No one around me has any cold like symptoms so I don't think it is the cold. My girlfriend on the other hand got a few ulcers from stopping which I didn't experience so I'm putting it down to different strokes for different folks

Perpetua, vodka? Really? I've seen that as an ingredient but didn't know it was actually used. Vodka isn't something I have kicking around as I'm a whisky type of guy . Distilled water - the stuff I could buy at a car shop? Will look into this. Thanks.

I've been getting my juice from someone local who mixes and sells. I may just ask him to thin it slightly on my next order.

Well done BeOne
The only odd effect I've had from vaping is with high pg
It makes my skin itch.
Sorted now I use max vg.
We all different though as others state but I'm sure you'll find a happy point for yourself

Hi jtc , when I tried 'cheaper' vapes recommended by some shops who gave me high nicotine juices with a high PG content I also experienced some weird stuff particularly a very sore throat, pulsating heart beat, and a 'strange' lung feeling. Needless to say I didn't last a day on them which led me to do my own research and invest in a sub ohm mod, tank, and coils and started using the higher VG and 6mg juice. It is much easier on me which is probably why I've been going so well on this new set up even though there's days when I vape constantly.  It's all good though

Keep on keeping off (the fags that is). Your system goes through all sorts of changes when you give up tobacco but after a few weeks you'll really feel the benefit.

I pretty much chain vape at 75w on a .43 dual coil and use around 25/30ml a day

[BeOne]

Thanks sydsut . No intention of looking back now. Never thought I was much of a quitter but looks like I can be

Hey that's good to know jtc . I only do around 6-8ml on 25W with a 0.56 coil so at least I know I'm not at the more heavier end

You'll be fine
Just take it slowly and find your happy point
