A list of symptoms when quitting tobacco and changing to an ecigarette

We are new to e-fags and this forum, but we have a really important question that we have not seen anything about. Inhaling the vapor has a curious slightly spacey quality that I don't understand why and are suspicious of. The effect takes much longer to wear off than normal tobacco - you notice it harder to concentrate and do simple tasks (e.g. for a split second you've forgotten which lever is to switch on the headlights). We've tried 3 different brands of eJuice at 18mg strength and it is like there is an extra drug in eJuice that is not in normal tobacco. Anyone else notice it (it is quite subtle)? We are concerned because we really do not want to go back to tobacco.

Yes. Yes. Yes. This is what I'm talking about in an earlier post. I believe that it's a saturation effect of nicotine, as we have fairly good evidence that there aren't any strange drugs in there. I think this just means too much nic, really... Try switching to a lower dose.

Is the above from a new country checking in?

Looks like a spammer, to me.

buttbuck: could you say which brands of e-liquid you have had those symptoms with?

I think I recognize the language. It´s used in the immediate viciny of Betelgeuze. I hope it won´t be me who gets abducted eventually

The first day I got the e-cigs I was impressed. I have COPD (emphysema) I've just recently been diagnosed. The next day and today, I started coughing on inhaling. I'm not sure why. Has any one else had this problem or can you direct me where to research this.

Thanks!

Just on your hands Kate? VG is used for dry skin conditions, in theory it should soften it?

What is VG? Is it that alternative to the PG? Where can I find out more about it. I seem to be coughing with the PG and I have COPD. Someone said I might be having an allergy to it. The first day it was cool. From there, coughing with inhales.

VG is for vegetable glycerine, like propylene glycol (PG) it makes vapour like smoke. There is a lot of information about it on the forum, I'd do a tag search.

Your coughing could be a sensitivity to pg or it could be something else like too much nicotine or additives in the juice.

If you need a commercial non pg juice have a look at the Johnson Creek range, they are the only company to produce glycerine based eliquid.

I have been vaping now for almost two months and exclusively for two weeks. Since I gave up analogues altogether, I have really started having problems when cleaning my teeth and my gums bleeding really quite badly. Has anyone else had this? I have never had anything like this before and I just know it has something to do with not smoking tobacco and starting with ecigs. I am going to start using eludril or cordysol and see whether this improves things. I know I should probably go to a dentist.
