Does E-cigarette Usage Cause Congested Throat And Liver?

I have recently started vaping as an alternative to cigarettes and have noticed that my lungs/throat feels congested/heavy a lot. Especially when I get out of bed in the morning. I also have a lot of clear mucus that I spit up. What is the cause of this and is there anything I can do to change this condition?

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
You are using e cigarette. Throat and mouth inflammation and cough are the known adverse effects of e cigarette. Long term safety of e cigarette is not known. Moreover there is risk of nicotine addiction. So better to avoid e cigarette and go for medication for smoking cessation.
