Vick's inhaler or Vick's VapoRub?

Vick's inhaler - This is an inhaler, not something else.

Two different Vick's products with somehow the same purpose/use. Which you'd rather choose to soothe your common cold?

Either one will do me,i remember my uncle use to boil lemons and then he would take a jar of vick vapor rub and mix it into the pot of boiling lemons...after the vick rub dissolved into the pot of boiling lemons he would then let the mixture cool and pour hisself a glass of this mixture for his cold or stuffy head..i myself try it several times but i never really felt any better after drinking this stuff...

So i guess it's safe to mix Vick's VapoRub huh? Lemon is full of Vitamin C so that may have helped a lot.

I didn't know Vick's had an inhaler. I probably wouldn't feel comfortable using it anyways. I use vaporrub from time to time. I also have a plug in thing that is from Vicks. You put this little tab of vicks stuff in the plug in and then put it in a outlet. I've used it from my kids when they were stuffy.

Vick's Inhaler has been around for quite some time now. Maybe it's just the availability in you area. Wow, I never heard of the plug thing from Vick's. I should check that out maybe i can use it in my room before going to sleep.

I prefer the vick's vapor rub. When I was a child my mother always used the vapor rub. If we were really congested she would rub it on our chests and even spead some around our nostrils. With the inhaler you only have one use, and that is to use directly to your nose. I like the diversity of the vapor rub better.

Chest, back and nostrils. I agree with you, VapoRub's got a lot of use. Some even use it for insect bites and headaches.

I have always chosen the vapor rub. With it you can use it to make your chest feel better and still inhale the fumes to help with your sinuses.

Hey mod its time for you to sleep. I prefer vick's vaporub because I can use it to rub the vicks in my back and chest. I don't use it frequently though. Its too addictive.

Vick's VapoRub - For external use only.
Hehe, you sleep ahead! I need a few more dollars lol! Jk! I have here my Vick's VapoRub with me. Yeah, it's quite addictive. I sometimes clog my nose with VapoRub lol! Works like a charm to me. I sneeze everytime i inhale on Vick's inhalers. I must have this allergic reaction to it.
