Just about every substance that comes into our body can cause side effects. This, of course, also applies to the substances that fall into the body through the vapors of e-liquids.
For someone who stops smoking, it is not easy to determine which side effects are caused by e-liquids.
If you quit smoking, your body will undergo major changes during a recovery period, regardless of the way you try to stop.
Many smokers who stop smoking day by day without providing a phase during which gradually intake of nicotine is phased out are faced with a series of inconveniences. The most common are:
Blood gums, mouth ulcers
Poor for flu
Skin irritation
Anxiety attacks
Coughing / coughing
Dizziness
Insomnia
Dry throat
To sweat
Nosity
Weight gain
Headache
Most smokers switching to electronic cigarettes experience a transition without side effects.
However, in some cases there are (temporary) side effects that may manifest. As mentioned, it is difficult to determine what matters with electronic smoking. For example, when you quit smoking, the vibrators in the airways will recover and grow back. As a result, you are going to cough but this has nothing to do with e-smoking.
Below is an overview of the most common problems with beginning e-smokers:
Dehydration: Dry skin, Dry mouth, Dry eyes
Sore throat
Cough
Itch
Skin rash, burning sensation
In electronic smokers who "continue" these side effects usually disappear automatically. Others get more difficult or not at all rid of their problems.
What can you do in those cases?
Drink more water. The substances PG (Propylene Glycol) and VG (Vegetable Glycerin) present in e-liquids are substances that absorb water and provide dehydration. It is advisable (not only when you suffer from side effects) to drink more water to counteract this phenomenon.
Looking for liquids with a higher VG content. VG is a substance that is softer for the throat than Propylene Glycol (PG). If you have a sore throat or a lot of coughing, a liquid with more VG can be a solution. In addition, PG has an even greater dehydrating effect than VG.
Use liquids with a lower nicotine content. Also, nicotine in e-liquids causes an "irritation" in the throat. Fewer nicotine in your fluids will stimulate less and will reduce coughing.
Adjust your steam technology. Often it is advisable to work on your technique. Duration of your dreams, pulling your intensity, and the way you inhale the vapors. Perhaps it is advisable for you to inhale the vapors first and then just into your lungs.
Reduce your wattages or temperature. Higher wattages are associated with warmer fumes and more vapor production. Take your wattage down to lessen your throat.
Less steam. Sometimes the side effects are due to the fact that you just steam too much. They then disappear when you reduce your e-cigarette usage.
If nothing helps from what was mentioned above, there are two possibilities. Either it has nothing to do with your electronic cigarette, but how your body responds to other substances since you quit smoking. Either you are allergic to one of the components in e-liquids. In that case, contact your doctor.
