Hi Scylla

PG tends to be dry mouth, sore throat or allergy type symptoms from what I can tell. Glycerine gives some folks the squits and bubbly bellies.

I use pg mostly myself but it probably depends on whether you can get used to drinking more or having a dry mouth.

I've upped my fluid intake considerably since vaping, I wonder if that helps at all, although it does have a small drawback in as much as what goes in must come out.

But I can easily cope with that!

Hi Kate

I used to drink constantly while smoking - tea, coffee, water - but my intake has gone down a lot since vaping (It couldn't possibly have gone up, I drank so much - had very damaged mucus membranes.)

I've noticed a dry mouth on occasion but never had the sense to note what I was vaping at the time

Re the 'tight chest' issue, I too have this sensation (not problem) and I feel this is owing to not smoking cigarettes any more. When I did smoke I coughed constantly and, of course, my 'tubes' were likely coated with gunky tar. Now I'm vaping I don't have the irritation that caused the cough and, therefore, am probably not clearing away the mucus in the way that I did previously, hence the tightness. I am taking a good expectorant at the moment that is helping to loosen everything up. I feel absolutely fine however, better than I have since I was a kid.

I've had no other unpleasant symptoms other than bleeding gums that is also common after ceasing to smoke cigarettes.

Quite a few years ago there was a young man (about 30-something) living in the flat below me - when he gave up smoking I could hear him coughing at night for a long time afterwards, he never used to cough when he was smoking. It's the poor little cilia being de-paralysed and moving the stuck gunk around

Sounds horrible Scylla, it just goes to show how different we all are, I'd developed not surprisingly considering the vast quantities of cigarettes I smoked, a horrible 'smoker's cough' again that's disappeared completely for me since vaping.

My mother's problem was precisely the opposite - she moaned that she needed a cigarette so that she could have a good cough!! (she never did - I wish we'd had vaping when she was around).

only side effect i have ever had is that i stopped smokin lol xx

[jimmybat]

only side affect i have has was that there was a hell of a nasty smell which i could not work out and i also found that i could not eat properly it was a disaster BUT after days .... well not days more like hours .... ok not hours probably a few minutes thinking ....which was kinda sore i figured out that awful smell was fresh air !!!!! and the reason for me not being able to eat was 2 fold the taste of food was so intense i no longer could eat certain foods and the other reason was i had to keep removing my e-cig from my life from time to time

OK i am a loony but I have been told people prefer me like that

At first, I had a very sore mouth but using a non alcohol based mouthwash, Cordysol for about 2 weeks got rid of that. Tried VG because I thought it was a reaction to PG and had a terrible digestive problem
Went back on PG but have to watch what flavours I use because I do react to sweeteners. Now just vape low PG mainly tobacco flavours and I'm ok.
Everyone is different, I think you have to persevere and find what suits. I was determined to make it work for me but I can see how the negative reactions that people get, can make them give up, perhaps a bit too soon.
My daughter started vaping 7 months ago but despite bleeding gums, she still vapes because she knows its safer than smoking.

Maybe some of reactions are due to an overdose of nicotine?

I mean if people are vaping like a chimney on higher strengths than they used to when they smoked, then this is no doubt going to have a negative effect.

I know someone who overdosed on nicotine because they still smoked whilst wearing a nicotine patch. This was when the patches first came out tho', so this may no longer be a problem.

By the way, he did live to tell the tale
