Smoking/Vaping with a Sore Throat

Recommended Posts

I work in the medical field and I'm subjected to nasty bugs quite regularly. Even though we practice standard precautions, I invariably end up with a case of strep throat about once a year, which I'm dealing with right now. No matter what OTC medications or throat lozenges I would choose, nothing could really take the 'burn' away from trying to smoke a cigarette during this situation.

Since I'm vaping now, I tried an 8mg e-juice solution and dialed the power way back on the Eleaf iStick (3v/5.3w) and can actually take a fair hit without sending myself into a gagging fit :)

Peppermint is excellent... so is honey-flavors, and even a butter-toffee or butterscotch work well too :)

To reduce the throat-hit, higher VG juices, at least 50/50, and as you already found out... cut back the Voltage/Wattage a tiny bit.

Oh, and drink plenty of fluids :D
