Cottage cheese lungs

[wllmc]

That's okay - friend also claimed he was cured by continuing to smoke and quitting vaping completely

Uh - bronchiolitis obliterans is incurable

 

[iVapeDIY]

Just a suggestion, since this thread is not a DIY discussion maybe a better place for it is: http://vapingunderground.com/forums/vaping-health-related.478/

Even better, a senior mod should move this thread and other OT threads (like this one) there.

Maybe I should give the "friend" a call and reiterate that he did not have popcorn lung. It's obvious he actually had cottage cheese lung

Just send him a big ass box of movie butter popcorn with a plastic lung inside.

BAM crew

Since popcorn lung is usually found at the autopsy your friend is a very special individual.
Not only is he the 1st person to ever get popcorn lung from vaping he is also the 1st known ghost that appears as a human and can talk.

Maybe he can get to go on TV?
He should call and explain he is the ghost of a man who caught popcorn lung from vaping and cured it by smoking.

 

[The Cromwell]

Yeah, my husband recently got a good dose of the popcorn lung scare - but with a twist

Close friend of his gave him the usual "but vaping causes popcorn lung!" warning.

Fortunately, Mr Juicy does occasionally listen to me and gave his friend the facts but...Friend claimed Mr Juicy was wrong because he actually was a victim of popcorn lung from vaping!

"Man, I was coughing and hacking like crazy"

When is he getting his lung transplant?
That is the only cure for Popcorn Lung.

Is that lowfat or regular cottage cheese lung?

 

[scalewiz]

Does the ratio of PG to VG affect the size of the curds?

Put through a juicer and snort um.....

 

[AndriaD]

You know I thought about this one.
I have known a LOT of addicts in my life and I don't just mean smokers
I mean REAL addicts, ones that are dead right now, ones that haven't seen the outside of prison walls in a decade.
These are people I grew up with as kids when I lived in Baltimore.
From playing in the sandbox together to riding bikes and skateboards to drinking beer in the woods on weekends and so on.
I could always tell when they weren't ready to clean up their act because they always had a new outrageous excuse why they couldn't give up what they were addicted to.
"I went back to smoking because cottage cheese lungs" kind of reads like "I like smoking and am unwilling or unable to bother trying to quit at this time"

THIS EXACTLY!!!!! There is ALWAYS!!! some lame rationalization that to their addicted brains, sounds perfectly reasonable, or else their liar brain says (a la Jon Lovitz) "yeah, that's the ticket."

I have asthma. I'm one of the rarest asthmatic vapers ever because vaping actually makes my asthma symptoms worse -- when I discovered this, I realized a couple of things: 1) I could easily rationalize going back to smoking, and 2) that would probably be the stupidest thing I could possibly do, because even with feeling more asthma symptoms, I have STILL removed further contact with all the many toxic and carcinogenic chemicals in cigarette smoke... and also 3) that I was damn lucky to have finally found a way to give up the cigarettes... and my doctor agrees 100% with that; "Anything is better than smoking." (his words)

And, the asthma is SLOWLY getting better... thx no doubt to NOT inhaling toxic smoke for the last 3 yrs.

yep run anything thru a juicer and it is good for ya.
Right?

 

[SirKadly]

what you want me to talk about the sweat on my balls

Are you planning on having someone inhale the sweat? If so, it might cause cottage cheese lung, in which case, well, I guess it fits into this discussion.

 

[MyMagicMist]

Hm, out of curiosity -- you use higher vg or pg?

 

[MyMagicMist]

This can not be real

Give me my dyktones!!

Obviously you were conversing with an idiot.

Ha! Stolen! "Obviously you were conversing with an idiot."

"Well, maybe but I was only talking to myself. ... Hey, waitaminute ..."

 

[MyMagicMist]

Hmmm. Odd. New profile. Non-stop 'health' concerns in hearsay format. Too odd.

"I doth offer them quakes of fear in thou words of porn quality terror, watch them shudder and scurry away from the mists of vaping in fleeing!"

 

[MyMagicMist]

Some flavorings found in vaping do contain a small degree of diacetyl. However the amount is so minute that the odds are beyond slim.

Slim says he? Well then I might agree with myself to enjoy some of those creamy, custard style flavors a little. Have steered away from them fully out of an anxious sense of "omg, that stuff kills and I already BTDT once, no more thanks." Kind of why I drew away from menthol flavors too, read something what suggested menthol can do wonky stuff to kidneys.

Think i'll go back to Discordianism "Never believe anything you read, not even this. Remember, Bob is your uncle."

What are you doing up so early for, Morley?.....have a long day ahead of ya?

 

[MyMagicMist]

I have heard of "cottage cheese lungs" in reference to animals. Also noted as a lung abscess. Vaping on its own does not present in this manner. It does not encourage lung abscesses. However, if one already has compromised lungs don't smoke or vape.

These stories are usually started by...a friend told me this. Don't believe the bullshit. Science is awesome.
Here is a link to what a lung abscess is...
http://www.healthline.com/health/lung-abscess#overview1

I'm at high risk because I have a autoimmune disease. However, I have been vaping for 7 years and my lungs are clear. No adventitious sounds. How do I know that. I'm a low paid nurse.

BTW one does not just die from anything. There are warning signs. Science rules!

Got scared lungs since about age 11 months. Pneumonia killed me for what was Ohio's 7 minutes of clinically dead. The doctor was pronouncing, just needed the notary to make it legal. I come back at that instant. Oddly, I did not convulse with temperature of 107+, did so upon returning to life though w/ temp of 98.6.

Scared my mom so bad she crocheted up a "worry" dolly. Hard imaging her hands moving so fast as that to have made a complete one, although have seen stranger things. I vape, rather that than smoke now. Don't seem to have any problems beyond getting the occasional 'vapor lock' of a morning, too much yummy juice what coagulates overnight. Usually a few hoicks and I get cleared up, kick starting the breath.

 

[MyMagicMist]

Not a clue to why dahlin. Might have heard, or sensed something 'off' a bit. About half thinking one of the medicines is giving me slight jitters. Not sure and kind of doubtful. Might be too I just figured on beating rush hour traffic. *chuckles*

Not sure all in. Bit anxious pondering our situation here. Hoping to soon see it start to changing for the better. Know though that before the sun rises there's a storm on the brew. Not liking the notion of seemingly ripping my wife away from her family. Still, I'm sure you understand a fella having needs, and not quite being contented, seeing that privacy or lack of instills wedges.

Heck might have got up to look at porn. I did but that wasn't useful, or even well, entertaining. Course, not much entertaining for me in general. Might have got up to go pack a parachute, load out a go dunny. In short I've the antsies and not sure why exactly. Can point to a few things I think might be rooting them, things which i presently have no control over. Got BOHICA BOHICA and trying to avoid snafu despite that being all there is at present.

Mind off to wander and wonder. Prolly ought to be looking at houses, land. Difficult to believe in such a thing when I keep seeing dreams get killed. Is what it is, not trying to evoke pity, not having a pity party myself ... I'm just in ... contemplation. No, not suicidal contemplation either, merely contemplation of life, reflecting, waiting ...

Lost, I find at times is useful.

Besides that lookie ... "Cottage Cheese Lung" ... even! Just how can a growing boy like me resist something like that, you tell me, ..?

 

[MyMagicMist]

Never simply trust what someone tells you, not even here

That is so harsh. You mean then to say Dave is here? They fibbed and said he wasn't? * picks up Joanna the cactus in a pot that is Dave's wife * She misses him.

 

[MyMagicMist]

Eats 'em or sends 'em to me & I'll eats 'em. I love eating me some peaches, pardon the double and even possibly triple entendre present.

I've switched to the dx as well. But, that's just cautiousness, like you said.
At least until more science comes in.

 

[AndriaD]

Can't believe there's anyone around here who hasn't seen that I use 85% or 86% PG. Because if I use more than 14% or 15% VG, I can't breathe AT ALL. It's like inhaling honey, and then expecting lungs to work right; glues the airways CLOSED.

Andria

 

[The Cromwell]

I edge into cottage cheese lungs at above 60% VG.

I apologize for not having taken note of that earlier. Sometimes things come by me and well, they go right on by. *chuckles* I ignore very few in life, so it isn't that I ignore folks in general, I get lost in crop circles trying to find a corner to go pee in.

I edge into cottage cheese lungs at above 60% VG.

I use 70 - 80% VG although can do just as well using a 50/50% blend if needed, started on that. My cottage cheese lungs are low fat, too. They use that aspartame to sweeten the juice culture used for mine. Never mind the label reading "may cause psychotic breaks, may cause cancer, DNA may be mutated", the sales rep says it's all A-Okay.

ETA: Please do pardon my droll, sick, dark, morbid humor. I keep trying to get it well but the melancholy of life keeps it ailing.

Me too! 50/50 is what I'm aiming for these days. Tobacco mixes are at 70/30 to give them a better hit.

BTW I bought a tub (24oz) of cottage cheese yesterday.

Yum. I used to not like fish at all, but I finally learned to appreciate the goodness that is salmon, or lox. Caviar too.

I'm too poor to afford smoked Salmon right now. I do eat salmon 1-2 weekly. It's the only fish I like. I also like cottage cheese.

Yeah the smoked is pretty pricey. We get salmon filets at Walmart, frozen, 4 in a bag; it's skinless, and says "wild caught", for whatever that's worth; it's tasty though, and not terribly expensive.
