How Can You Cure Coughing or Sore Throat from Vaping?

 

Millions of people around the world have leveraged the power of vaping to quit smoking. Why is vaping better than other forms of nicotine replacement? It is more pleasurable. Smokers smoke cigarettes not just for the nicotine. They do it because they love it.

Unfortunately, using a cotton candy vape disposable is not always as enjoyable as described by vapers and vape brands. Sometimes, it can induce sore throat and cough. There are several scientific descriptions for the causes, but instead of focusing on those, this topic will tell you what you can do to avoid this problem.

Reduce Nicotine Strength

Some e-liquids and disposable vape devices come with very high nicotine strengths. Naturally, it is possible that the strength you are using is not right for you. If you experience an overwhelming sensation of a throat hit when you take a draw, you should consider switching to a lower nicotine strength.

2.            Try Salt Nicotine E-Liquid

Freebase nicotine tends to cause a scratchy sensation in the throat, especially at high nicotine strengths. However, this is unpleasant for a lot of folks. Nicotine salt e-liquid is usually much smoother and may give you a more enjoyable experience. So, shift to salt nicotine e-liquid if you are using a freebase nicotine product.

1.      E-Liquid with More VG

VG stands for Vegetable Glycerin. E-liquids have different balances of VG and PG (Propylene Glycol). Some people find high-PG e-liquids more irritating than high-VG e-liquids. You might want to try a cotton candy vape disposable containing at least 50% VG.

2.      The “Quit Cough”

Many people cough when they first stop smoking. That is exactly how an individual’s lungs react when they clean themselves out. A “quit cough” is perfectly normal and should subside within a few days. If not, consider seeing a physician.

3.      Change the Inhaling Style

Some people cough when they vape if their devices do not have the right airflow for their preferred inhaling style, whether mouth-to-lung or direct-to-lung. A few devices come with adjustable airflow settings. Manipulating the airflow may mitigate the problem of coughing.

4.      Drink More Water

The ingredients used in manufacturing e-liquids can absorb water from the mouth and throat, potentially causing throat soreness. Vapers must always do their best to stay hydrated.

5.      Reduce Power Level

Does your vaping device have adjustable power? If so, reduce the wattage because vaping at a higher wattage may give you a sore throat and make you cough.

6.      Use an All-VG E-Liquid

Many people are allergic to PG-based e-liquids and need to use VG-only e-liquids to avoid triggering their allergies. If you were allergic to PG, though, it is possible that you would know it already because of the large number of consumer products that include PG as an ingredient.

To Conclude

In the end, it is worth mentioning that if you are a first-timer, you may cough. Just because the tips described above did not work for you does not mean you should stop. You do not need to make any major changes until you vape for at least a few days. Temporary coughing is common in a lot of people, especially those who switch to using a cotton candy vape disposable and do not find it as satisfying as smoking.
