Still Having Chest Issues.

@Gizmo maybe try not to vape for a day and see if it makes any difference.

hope you get sorted soon buddy

LOL, I have tried many times. Can't even make it past 12, then the cravings start
 
@Gizmo, I think @devdev has made a very valid point.

I know you guys have lots of pets.
Maybe you are allergic to them.

I have heard of many people who get asthma/breathing problems from allergies to their cats.

I doubt it silver, I have had cats for years, never an Issue.. I think its VG related. Going to try a high PG juice for awhile and some medication @DoC has prescribed to me! Hoping this will fix the issues.

all of the best bro.
side note: my gf has had cats all her life and only recently developed an allergy towards them.so it is possible that you could have delevoped an allergic reaction to your pets
 
Sorry this might be completely useless, just something I picked up, so by the way...

The YouTube reviewer from IndoorSmokers has some sort of PG allergy. So he vapes Virgin Vaping organic stuff.

Usually rinsing the nose out with saline/salt water twice a day makes u huge difference..

How does one do this? Mix salt and water and sniff? Must feel like drowning?
 
Lol kinda... But one nostril at a time and yes basically sniff. Ul feel a burning sensation as ya sinus gets rinsed out.

Markus there are sachets you can buy at Dischem with the mixture all ready as well as a dispenser... it's a little disconcerting at first but the results are spectacular!

I put one sachet in the dispenser and then fill the bottle with lukewarm water and I jump in the shower and do the rinse.
 
I know I have brought this up before, but I still have some serious chest issues especially in the morning. I am on the verge of quitting vaping because some mornings are soo bad, its quite scary really. But my love for vaping and addiction of nicotine stops me.

Anyway, All the juice I smoke is 50/50 ratio. I wake up nearly every morning with the feeling of a elephant on my chest. It is sometimes soo hard to breath that I get panicky. This morning was another one of those. It goes away after about 30mins, but its still quite scary. I never had this with smoking.

I also have noted that if I vape with my chest tight it clears it up quicker , soo strange I know. Anyway I am 100% sure I am either allergic or sensitive PG or VG.

I am leaning towards VG as apparently people sensitivity to VG can get a tight chest. I know last tight I said I was going to try high PG juice then high VG juice, but I never got round to it.

Anyway, I think I am going to start with buying some Liqua juice, I heard that is 70PG / 30VG. If anybody has some amazing liqua (sarcasm) in JHB area that wants to sell let me know. Or any high PG juice preferably a ratio like that. I know you guys are all thinking I must have lots of PG and VG here and Vape King, why don't I make something up. But honestly, I don't.. All our base is premade with the VG/PG ratio.
I might have some Liqua laying around. will bring it along to the meet for you.
 
I had issues with my chest some years ago. Long before I started vaping.

Went to a club where they were using this fogger machine. Works on the same principle as vaping, but the amount of vapour being produced was too intense for me to handle. My chest started becoming really tight, to a point where i could not breathe. Could not walk up straight.

Got rushed to the hospital, and ended up having to undergo surgery to release the pressure. Was in hospital for about a week.

I don't go near those fog machines anymore. I do notice that if i vape too much or end up blowing massive clouds, my chest starts to tighten up a bit. It could also be an allergic reaction to on of the ingredients in your juice.

Stay safe, if you are still having issues, make an appointment with a pulmonologist.

I suffer badly with sinus issues.

How I do it, and it's not pleasant but it works.

Dissolve salt in warm water. Syringe up the nostril and squirt. It burns, it's goes all over your sinus cavities. BUT five minutes later I feel clearer.

Funnily enough, my sinuses have been much better since quitting smoking. I used to be completely blocked up and usually had headaches by the time I got home from work.

So long as you dont use too much or too little salt there will be no burning sensation in my experiance
 
@r0gue z0mbie with too much you feel like you been in the dessert for days and days, mouth and inside of nasal, hell even my brain started to feel sahara dry lol
 
Tip: add Baking Soda (NaHCO3) to saline mix, it brings down the burning sensation, ie: for every 3 teaspoons of non-iodized salt add 1 teaspoon baking soda.
 
Guys go to Dischem and get the Salex System... simple to use and doesn't burn your nasal passages etc... recommended by my ENT Surgeon. Comes with ready to mix sachets and a bottle delivery system. If you have any sinus issues at all then this is for you!

I find the garden hose pipe and a quarter teaspoon of HTH really flushed my sinuses out. No need to use anything but what you already have at home.

DISCLAIMER: If you are stupid enough to try this, please take pictures so we can submit it for 2014 Darwin awards

@Gizmo and @DoC I am very interested in the prescription that is going to be used. Is it an antihistamine?

Umm @devdev as much as i love your kind of humour, you need to attach some kind of disclaimer especially when commenting in a thread where there are loads of suggestions that seem arb, your hth suggestion might just blend in enough to hurt some one ;)

Just a thought
 
Celestamine works like a bomb for crazy allergies. I have to use it from time to time.

Looks like our retailers should start selling these snot blowing kits. Looks like its a good market to get into.
 
I would like to also comment on this thread.
A while back I quit vaping as I thought that I was constantly OD'ing on nic due to vaping. I sold all my gear and for a while didn't even use cigarettes. but alas.... the symptoms continued. some of the symptoms were:
tightness in chest, short of breath, continuous vertigo, stuffed sinuses, full ear feeling. sometimes struggling to speak. I was fearing a stroke more often than not, which also caused anxiety attacks, which caused the above symptoms to be amplified.
but after some elimination this is what i have found
the tightness in chest and shortness of breath was most probably caused by being unfit, after I started exercising (treadmill 30 mins a day) that dissipated. as for the other symptoms, it was caused by a dislocated c3 and c4 neck vertebra. after 7 sessions at a reputable chiro that was fixed and no more sinus/vertigo issues. Who would figure that a neck problem can cause sinus issues?!?! Two separate issues which I attributed to vaping was actually totally unrelated.
Now I'm not a doctor, and will NOT tell you that your symptoms are not related to vaping, but consider doing a few checks to see if the problem could be related to something else.
 
THIS ^

I have been feeling exactly the same @bjorncoetsee also started to think its my rayon. I get a tightness in the chest throat and neck, like @KimH, Kim, are you using rayon as well?

@Gizmo you must be using the rayon?

Hi Mark :) Been training all day and only saw your comment now - haven't used the dripper in weeks, so nope - not using Rayon at all.
 
Thanks! That helps us eliminate things ;)
