Welcome Tommy! I smoked a pad for over 33 years. Been vaping for just over a month now. Yesterday my family roped me into hiking up this stupid hill that seemed to have no end. I discovered I was actually able to breath. No congestion, wheezing or coughing. BTW, I was first to the top.

Not familiar with disposeable blues but stop them and see if the congestion goes away...some ppl have an allergy reaction to the PG used in liquids which I presume could very well be in the blues..its not common but it does happen...also maybe the combo of nic gum and the blues could be the culprit, so I would definitely put away the blues and see what happens...and its also very possible U may just be coming down with a common cold....

Blu is 100% VG. High VG can cause some people to get congestion and 'heavy chest'. Doesn't mean that you can't handle VG, just not high VG. From what I've read of other people's experiences, most that were sensitive to high VG find that as long as the VG is kept below 50 or 60% they are good.

When I first started vaping I got congested and my throat killed me for a few days. I switched juices (I was smoking a menthol heavy juice) and eased up on how often I was vaping until it went away. I'm not sure what exactly caused the throat and congestion issues but once I eased up on the menthol that seemed to help a lot.
