Worst Headache of my life!!

[Jimmy S]

ok, so it is not all plain sailing then, I juiced up my screwdriver with some super strength wicked liquid and used it a little, not a whole lot. Anyway, I have had the worst headache of my entire life today. taken 6 painkillers and its not touched it, what the ****??? I am afraid to try the thing again...

That might be nicotine overdose Jimmy, that 36mg stuff is pretty potent. It gives me palpitations after a half hour or so.

Most people vape around 2ml per day, if you vaped that much 36 it would be like smoking 72 cigs.

You might want to dilute it with zero nic juice or glycerine.

Could well be the high nicotine, TW 36mg is powerful stuff. Also if you look around the side effects thread, Cash had a very severe headache when starting.
I've had a mild headache from too much vaping, but nothing like as bad as you have

Hey Jimmy,

Like Pete Said ... when I first started, It was downright hell ... Here is my experience.

When I started ESmoking, you won't believe the issues I had.

Here is my list:
1. Throat wasn't just soar, It felt like 1000 needles poking it and I wouldn't even be swallowing!!!
2. Constant 72 hour headache. Nothing took it away!
3. Night AND Day Sweats. It could be 60 degree's inside and cold, and I would start sweating profusely. Wake up in the morning and my bed and pillow were wet from sweating (at least I'm hoping it was sweat, and not an accident ... lol)
4. And the worst of them all, the Runs!!! I was in the bathroom 15-20 times a day it seemed like. Constant stomach issues and trips to the bathroom made the first week not very enjoyable by any stretch of the imagination ...

BUT ... Like most, about 8-10 days later, I gave it another round, and have been fine ever since ...

bloody hell, I didnt sign up for this but it seems there is always a price to be paid! I probably haven't helped my cause by smoking normal fags aswell all day AND chuffing on my screwdriver. I can also testify to the 'toilet problems'. I think the plan of action will be to lay off for a day or two until the headache subsides anyway, and the super strength liquid will be put away for now!

I've read somewhere about PG or VG or some people never getting used to this stuff but Im too tired for it now.

Once again, thanks everyone for their help, this forum has a great, friendly vibe which never goes away..

Sounds like the 36mg juice to me Jimmy. I was a heavy smoker before I started this but it gave me blinding headaches with my pipe. The way I smoke now is 36mg in a 901 mainly during the day on fag breaks when I can't smoke indoors. This gives me a quick fix of nicotine when my time is being monitored. If I'm able to smoke freely indoors, especially with a high vapour performer like the pipe or screwdriver then I switch to a low strength juice and puff away as much as I like.

36mg in one of these devices is hardcore smoking and depending on your tolerance can easily make you feel unwell. Try buying some VG and mixing up some lower dose liquid for yourself.

Interesting bit of conjecture: how many of us are more hooked on nicotine now than we ever were as analog cigarette smokers?

I don´t know anything about e-smoking and juices, but if you feel like you OD-ed, you should call paramedics/emergency while you can, or get to hospital, if you are still able to drive or have somebody to drive you. Overdose might be lethal. Painkillers will not help your heart either. And for nicotine the terminal danger limits are extremely low. Like 40 mg. That is 12ml of the superstrengt plus two drops.
