So what device did you use, which coils, which juices?
I mean find a good mouth to lung tank with idem dito coils, a mouth to lung tank&coil gives a tight pull with a nice tasting juice. I like strong tobacco as an e-liquid, but it's kinda hard to find one you really like.
The smoker thinks it's nicotine that matters, it matters but not much!
I really don't notice any withdrawal symptoms or an urge for nicotine when I don't use it (for 12 hours or more!). Sure I miss something, but not a feeling I had when I smoked, that your body so to speak is making up your mind and keep thinking about it (or feeling light headed or whatever).
But sure without it it's just not as nice, like cola light but worse.
Still sounds weird in my ears that you get this feeling of inhaling water, in my ears it's about your device and coil which doesn't work right.

I had a friend who smoked about a pack a week and decided to try e-cigs. It was nice b/c he didn't have to go outside and he would continue his work while he used it. Over about 2 weeks he found himself going from using one e-cig a day (they don't last ANYWHERE near the number of "puffs" they advertise - maybe 10% of advertized) to using 4 a day. He never had any problems of waking up in the middle of the night with a chest of phlem, but now it happened 3-6 times a night and he had to empty it into a soda bottle next to his bed (TOTALLY GROSS!) and daily ritual of emptying it. Then in the morning he sounded like he had bronchitis and was hacking up phlem for 30-120 minutes (less time if he took a really hot shower which loosened up his chest).
I'm worried about kids having access to this poison which is more toxic than CYANIDE and totally unregulated except for a checkbox. A kid under 18 could get a greendot credit card and order this on Amazon, have it delivered to their drop boxes across the country and the parents would never know.

It sounds like your friend did the right thing by switching to e-cigarettes in my opinion. If he is going through that much E-cigarttes then it's probably best for him to get an E-cig that you refill yourself, Mint is better for bad breath.
All this phlegm was likely the result of what he had been smoking in the past and going back to normal cigarettes isn't going to resolve the issue, quitting altogether might.
You are right though about the kids having access to it.
Over here in the UK there must be some law about the % amount of nicotine in our juice (they aren't very good quality either) which limits the nicotine in each bottle... that's why I buy mine from America instead, at 18mg. You can get them higher than this at about 24mg maybe even higher.
When my vaporizer stops working and I have to buy a new one I'd dropper a bit of the 18mg liquid under my tongue. I don't recommend it to anyone but yes, kid's have access to something to a high that could harm them. All they need is their own or parents bank card.

You can start by not parroting out tobacco company propaganda.
