i was wondering if any of u have any issues working out? i was a pretty heavy cigarette smoker and it really beat my lungs up. it would be such a task for me to run and work out.
Bullette the Cowdog Ultra Member ECF Veteran
I'm a swimmer. Able to hold my breath longer. Of course I don't chain vape prior to my workout.
Kemosabe Vaping Master ECF Veteran
chain vaping does not give me heavy lungs. at all. maybe you have a sensitivity to PG or VG.
RedForeman Super Member Verified Member ECF Veteran
I pretty much have to be on the PV non-stop right until walking into the gym for that to be a problem, and even then it's not that bad. If I put it down more often in the hour or so before, there's no problem. Give it some time if you just stopped smoking.
Rader2146 Ultra Member Verified Member ECF Veteran
With nicotine being a vasoconstrictor and a stimulant it doesn't make good for high heart rate workouts. Muscles are starving for oxygen and the circulatory system is having trouble keeping up. Your body thinks you need more oxygen, so you beath harder, but what you really need is better circulation.
slaabrokk Senior Member Verified Member ECF Veteran
After i stopped smoking analogs, my workouts just got better an better. But i never vape right in front of workout cause of the nicotin. . My rule is no nicotin 30 min before workout, and wait anouther 30 mim after workout. in the beginning its hard to follow this, but when you see the results its not. .Nicotin and workout are no good!
icucme2 Ultra Member Verified Member ECF Veteran
thanks for ur input guy and gals. im vaping vg so its a little thick and am noticing buildup in the back of my throat too. i wont be vaping before working out now.
FatherTime Super Member ECF Veteran
So ive been working out for about 6 years. Ive been vaping no more than 3 months. A couple weeks ago i noticed what felt like either dehydration or minor cramping/tightness in certain muscles in my body.
Weizenheimer Super Member Verified Member ECF Veteran
I lift and do no formal cardio, but I have not noticed this myself in the last 8 months. I stretch for a few minutes post workout. I vape ~50/50 pg/vg blend. You could always try vaping 100% VG for awhile and if it doesn't go away try 100% PG. If it still doesn't go away maybe do some bloodwork?
oxidus Senior Member ECF Veteran
Could it be the nicotine? Try vaping 0mg before and after working out. I have no idea if it'll work, but I'm curious if you notice a difference. Or just don't vape before and after...Just long enough that the blood vessels won't be constricted.
bholcomb22 Super Member Verified Member
I'm glad you posted this. I quit cigs cold turkey 2 years ago for nine months, and I felt a lot better working out then. (I've been lifting for several years). I got back on cigs and continued working out after that, and obviously it was harder, and I had a lot of shortness of breath while lifting.
mistike Super Member Verified Member ECF Veteran
It's obviously not going to be as good as if you didn't smoke or vape at all. You're drinking enough water - maybe too much, so pure dehydration is probably not the problem - unless you don't drink enough DURING your workouts.
