Does smoking an e-cigarette affect running?

Congratulations!

Quitting cold turkey is a really hard thing to do for most people, but you managed to do it.

I quit smoking cold turkey six months ago and haven't had a cigarette or any form of placebo since but I've spend the last two days vaping with friends (0mg nicotine).

My lungs actually feel a bit rough but how much do these things actually effect running/cardio?p from your personal experience?

Good that you agree with what you said in your first sentence, because it is true.

So, let's get to why you are asking. Are you feeling a need for a nicotine hit? Push past that, brother. What will happen is you will vape and then when those are out and you don't have one, someone will offer you a cigarette, and you will be back on them. There just is no good to come of it.

No, e-cigarettes only affect e-running, such as in a video game.

Only actual smoking affects running.

You dolt - vaping is taking water into your lungs. Not good for running, walking, or sitting. Stop now and work on your addictive personality.

Well, duh, how could it not mess up your arm swing to take any kind of cigarette with you on a run? Plus it would slow you down while you inhale and mess up your breathing. Aside from that, smoking (or vaping) is just a bad idea and supports companies that are nothing but scum.

Hey you relapsed. Let's see if you can hold out until January. I challenge you.

I vape with no nicotine. Cigarettes are disgusting, I will never return to them.

But I'm not interesting in what companies I'm supporting just the same way most people don't care about it when they fancy a subway or a mcdonalds.

All I want to know is how much of an affect vaping at weekends would have on my fitness and lung health/power.

See: popcorn lung.

Hey, OP a.k.a. agreed upon douche, do you not realize that you can answer your own question. Go out and run the same workout you ran one day last week and compare the results, in terms of time and perceived effort level.

report back when finished.

If you vape with no nicotine then that's the reason to vape?

Only reason I clicked the thread. No cigarrettes, no Vapes. Just cigars or pipe tobacco.

If you must know I'm vaping with THC infused e-liquid /:

My friends like a drink at the weekend, I like to get high.

For what it's worth vaping makes me feel worse than cigarettes. Personally try to avoid both nowadays. N=1 but I get a very strong reaction to vaping compared to cigarettes.

This is also what I thought :/

I quit smoking 6 months ago and for the last 5 and a half months my lungs have felt fantastic and I haven't needed to cough at all for the last couple of months but since vaping at weekend I seem to be coughing more (not lots, but more) and my breathing felt a little mpre strained than usual on the bike today.

I'm just going to stop vaping to be honest. I just thought it would be a little fun as a way of getting stoned at weekends and the flavours of the e-cigarette would stop me eating so much whilst with friends.

I've been using vape with workouts often and nothing much happened with my stamina. (Maybe because I use nicotine-free liquid, who knows? https://www.mygadget.us/ bu it here anyways) I've been smoking for 5 years before quitting. You sure u use the right liquid? Because it can affect on your state of body and cause the bad effect after smoking.

Nicotine vaping can improve one’s running results, I know that for sure, nicotine is a great brain and heart stimulator (in spite of the multiple side effects). Nicotine-free vaping is neutral in this sense, I use this vaporizer https://gypsyvapes.com/smok-micare-vaporizer from time to time and my results are always same.
