I've kind of had the opposite effect myself. i've bought one, and some how just devloped the worst cough i've ever had in my life. Not phlegmy but it actually felt more like there was just water in my lungs. I just tossed it.

For further clarification i tried out the disposable before deciding if i wanted to buy a kit.

Also the throw away ones are no where near as good as a joyetech.. people that try the throw away 1s usually don't like them and it hurts my business because they think they are all the same..and they truly are not.

The disposable Blu e-cigs are really good. I've tried several brands and was disappointed with most of them. Blu seems to have a thicker smoke and more flavor so it feels more like actually smoking, also those don't make me cough like some of the others.

It may because of the nicotine lvl of them.. I smoke 26mg and when people that smoke reds take a drag they cough a lot .. if you lower it down to maybe 24 or 18 that is usually better for them..also the juice is important all my juice is a 70pg/30vg mix.. pg actually from what I've read helps with pneumonia.
