I haven't been sick since I started vaping, so I have no idea what it's like.

Same as above. The past two winters I have not gotten sick. I am more congested with allergies than headcolds and sore throats. Vaping rocks..

I've only been sick once since I started vaping. I barely vaped then, but I rarely smoked when I was sick either. I used to always get bronchitis so I'd stay away from the cigarettes.

I've never gotten colds n such often, but a couple weeks ago I caught one bad. It hit fast and it hit hard, but if I was still smoking the 2 days of almost complete uselessness would have been a week+, at least, plus the weeks of congestion and general "almost over it"ness.

As a smoker, I'd get 2 or more colds a year. I've had 1 cold since I began vaping 3 years ago. But in answer to your question...I wanted to vape when I had that cold, but found that I couldn't. I'd begin coughing whenever I tried.

I got sick just a couple of days after I switched to vaping and while having all the smoker recovering symptoms so it's far from great example.... but I wanted to vape just the same as I wanted to smoke earlier.

I am happy to say that I have not been sick since I quit smoking!!! I would probably lay off for a few days after the flu though. Feel better!!

I had bronchitis when my 1st E-cig arrived. I quit analogs then and vaped...recovered much faster than in the past.

Well, if PG vapour in fact has anti-bacterial properties as suggested in that 1950's Time Magazine article, we may actually feel ill much less often.

Welcome jules49. I'm the same boat as you. I would smoke around that many analogs or more when sick. I would cut down a lot, but still give in to cravings. I'm pretty convinced there are some other addictive chemicals in cigarettes besides the nicotine. I didn't once feel the burning desire to vape during the height of my flu days.

Hey guys, I've got the flu right now accompanied with a sore throat and I'm still vaping, just not as hard as usual. I'm using 18mg where I usually use 26mg. I tried some of my 8mg but for some reason it felt better with the 18mg. I've been taking lots of Extra strong menthol halls, and I find if I vape while having one it helps a lot.
