Messed Myself Up Vaping Wrong?

I'm going through a ton of stress at my job and recently began vaping ALOT more than I normally would, in two days I went through a 30mL bottle (not sure if that's a lot for some of you, but for me it is!)

about five days ago I woke up and my throat was EXTREMELY sore, extreme strep throat sore. For several days I could hardly talk and had excessive coughing spurts every 15-30 minutes. It's finally calmed down, last night I smoked a few cigarettes and had no discomfort in my throat, but I picked up my vape and tried to take a hit and the pain cannot be described. Today the same thing, I had a cigarette and was fine but when I go to hit my vape it's just unreal how bad the pain is in the back of my throat.

I know some people can have a bad reaction to the PG but I've been vaping for three + years and never had this type of problem. Has anyone else had this experience? Should i let my throat heal a little more before vaping? I just don't understand how a cigarette can be fine and the pain from the vape be so much.  

10 days ago and tried a puff plus vape for the first time. I used it about 8-10 times that day. After that day I had a cool feeling in my throat and chest whenever I breathed in which was weird. That cold feeling from the vape lasted like a week and turned into more of a feeling where my throat needs to be cleared 24/7. I have acid reflux and this had aggravated it more. I saw a doctor today and they said to just keep taking the acid reflux medicine but it hasn’t helped much. Anyone ever experience something like this from vaping?  

Hi all-
I haven't posted in a long while. I am in need of some suggestions as to what could be going in with me all of the sudden with my vaping.

Within the past two months I have a very hard time breathing when vaping. I was just thinking at first that I was getting sick or something. Then, I stopped for a few days completely and I felt better so I started again. The evening of the first day back to vaping, I laid in bed trying to go to sleep feeling like an elephant was sitting on my chest and that my throat was closing up. It was very scary. So scary that I have now been to the pulmonologist as well as the cardiologist (because the chest heaviness was bad). My lungs are clear and heart is in good condition. Soooooo....I went and purchased a ZERO nicotine juice thinking that maybe it was the nicotine. NOPE.....that didn't work either, I have used my e-cig only on the past two Saturdays and it has zero nicotine liquid in it and I still have the same problem after the day of vaping. I feel like I am struggling to breath. It is horrible. It takes a day or so to subside. I really enjoy my vape. I quit analogs on April 9, 2011 and have been vaping every since. Does anyone have any idea what the problem could possibly be? Maybe I should try just VG Juices....would that make a difference? Please help....any input would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!!  

So I started running again. I can say from experience that vaping has to be better for your lungs than smoking ! I was up to running 5 or more miles a day and up to 10 miles while smoking a pack a day. (I'm a former Marine so I tend to do things to the extreme.) When I was smoking in the beginning of a run I would feel a tightness in my chest and I used to attribute to having to get into an aerobic heartbeat. Breathing would be hard for a while. But I would always push myself to do the run. I would finish a run and stop and hack a bit then light a ciggarette. (..... I am lol) I always wondered how it would feel to run if I wasn't smoking. So I haven't run in quite some time (Old Man Winter) and I have been quit smoking for a while. So I started out with a short 2 mile run today. Guess what ? No tightness in the chest, no hard breathing and no hacking ! Can't wait to get back up into the big mile range again ! So if vaping actually had an effect on your lungs would I have not felt it ? In contrary vaping has greatly improved my lungs. So I don't need any scientific studies I just completed my own study ! Hey if anyone else has noticed the same thing let me know I'm interested in your opinion.  

I accidentally washed my vape cartridge. It was up to 2 ml though I think it was less then half full. My dad is worried it will ruin the washing machine. Could it?  

I havent touched a cigarette in 6 days. It's a miracle !! Lol.

Using stigs from Vgod disposable pods. 6% nicotine.

Day 1: lots of heart burns, feeling buzzed and lazy/slow.

Day 2 : more heartburn, still feeling buzzed and lethargic. Few times during the day had shortness of breath and a tight chest feeling

Day 3: woke up coughing like a ******. Not feeling so lazy and slow anymore. Some chest tightness comes and goes.

Day 4: still coughing in the morning, but not feeling slow or lethargic anymore

Day 5: feeling amazing. No cough, no heart burns, no tight chest feeling.

Day 6: great till now !!!  

Always looking for a good cartridge based vaporizer for my dad. We've tried Blu, Blu tank, Njoy and found they did provide decent throat hit, however, the flavor isn't very smooth and the juice is very spicy when it leaks. Last week I bought a FIN, it's a cartridge based vapor in ego form. The vapor amount is even smaller than the blu tank, and I found the output power is only about 3 watts and the resistance is rather high (3+ ohms), very disappointed.

My question is, other than above products, is there any other cartridge based vaporizers that you would recommend? Thank you!  

Looks to me like these guys tracked down the true story of what's happened with the bad cartos that are causing all the trouble for vaping. Certainly the CDC knows all about this and chooses to ignore it.

Journey of a Tainted Vape Cartridge: From China’s Labs to Your Lungs  

Hi all, it's been 5 months I quit smoking and switched to vaping, I want to thank you all for helping with my questions during my early days and suggesting me a good kit. Here is how I feel now.

As we are hearing lot of vaping related sickness issues I was in a dilemma for last 2 months if this is really gonna hurt me or I am fine. I get small pain on left front rib cage side when I vape recently. I am not sure if I am over thinking about news and that's causing me doubts.

And also i used to sleep fine for first 4 months of vaping, for last 1 month I did not get a good sound sleep. Is this anything to do with vaping or am I stressed about some job/other issues.

As always thanks for your suggestions.  

Hello all.

2 years ago I tried vaping and it was a miracle life saver. Thing went great. I was feeling amazing. Energized. Started hitting the gym lost a lot of weight and was healthier. But then I developed this killer ear pain. Ears feeling clogged and pressure. Went to see a ENT he couldnt find anything wrong. I figured it was vaping. I did some reading online and turns out PG is toxic for your ear.

If you didnt know. Ears throat and nose are all connected. The PG enters your eustachian tubes and that's when the pain starts.

I have given vaping another try. This time 100% VG e liquid with organic flavoring.

You can try kind juice, kai virgin vapors and others.

But be carefull some claim to be organic and MAX VG, but still contain some pg.

If you have this issue, I strongly suggest you give this a try. It's working for me at the moment. Will update this post if ear aches come back.
