Benefits of vaping

[Ellen]

Just a short note really,
Happy that I'm already noticing the benefits of vaping.
There is a hill in between my local train station and my house that has a 15% gradient. Normally that hill is a massive challenge to me and requires a lot of mental & physical effort just to climb it (and a lot of swearing)
I got to the top of it today and only then realised I was at the top, I hadn't even thought about it at all, also went to the gym this week and my usually difficult routine was easy peasy

I had given up fags for 3 years (after 22 years of smoking) before I started again and then moved on to vaping after about 3 months of re-starting. So I did not notice any benefits in that department but several people at work whom I have introduced to vaping have commented about the ease in breathing.

I went for my medical two days ago and my BP was a touch high when they first took it..I had just vaped before I went in. 10 minutes later it was lower but still on the higher side though I suspect more from a sedentary lifestyle. I got to buy a BP checker and monitor it to see how vaping is affecting me cause I am a touch worried on that front.

[Ellen]

Would high BP be caused by the nicotine? Are you vaping high strength juice? Hope you can find out the cause, I don't know too much about BP, but I believe there can be a few causes

Match Ellen, I've started running since vaping, I also did a Davina McCall Dvd the other day I used to find these challenging particularly if I hadn't done one in a while but it was quite easy, I still hurt a bit the next day though so it still worked

My blood pressure was a tad on the low side when it was taken a couple of months ago. I'd been vaping in the car just before I went in!

I monitored my bp a few weeks ago as DH had been sent home with a monitor for a week. The result was always very similar to the original one!

I enjoy not having to spen 30mins coughing every morning

[Ellen]

Some of the gunk is slowly starting to come off my chest, 10 years of heavy smoking, I imagine it will take a while, but the choking coughs and the early morning one have gone already

[maccafan]

Nicotine does raise BP like any other stimulant, though I am not sure if more strength =more BP..

[beautycat]

Had my bp done last week normal but on the low side of normal if that makes sense:)

sounds much the same as mine BC. We probably need the nicotine to keep our BP up

[deesigner]

My bp is always on the low side, one time when it was taken by a nurse she quipped 'if u weren't talking to me I'd think u were dead' vaping doesn't appear to have any effect on my bp and I wake up in the night and vape just as I did when I was smoking heavily.

Sounds like you have all the encouragement you need to keep off the smokes.

It feels good to actually not get breathless and no more stinky fag smells.

I was going to mention that it`ll save you money but that depends if you get the ninja bug.

[Ellen]

Um not saving me money yet, but I hope that's only temporary, yes I'm a gadget lover so I can see me upgrading to shinier things in time, but once I know what juices/cartos I like I can buy in bulk, but I may have heard about a new job today, so it's all good

TBH, I can't say I've found any difference in "before and after" energy levels, food doesn't taste any different, but my sense of smell has increased. Not sure if that's a good or bad thing! Lol.

[Deleted]

Not had my bp checked in a while , but as for energy levels I must be fareing well these days the dog is knackered before me on a walk
