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

[ladybug51]

[QUOTE=Nadia Maximus;69726]

Here is a link to a thread that talks about COPD and how it was improved with esmoking -
Here's another about the experiences of asthmatics -


Thanx Kate, that thread was very informative. I have most concern about my lungs and cancer. I have read about weird skin conditions on here, eye crusts, smelly urine or whatnot, dry throat... very strange. I come from a family mostly of doctors and nurses and will share any info I get from them on the boards, but 4 now I am still waiting for my ecig to show them in hopes they will purchase/use ecigs and give proper analysis to report.
What we do know is too much of anything isnt good for us, ie: water, vitamins etc.

Nadia, when I have tried quitting with nicotine products, some of your side effects occur. Urine and BM smell stronger of nicotine because the other crap is gone. Constipation, goes away as we adjust, cause the analogs stimulated it, or did me. I woke this morning with a crusty left eye and think it's because, not sure, I rubbed my eye before washing my hands after handling nicotine juice last night. Dry throat? too much vaping more likely but many other reasons too. Here I was more concerned about a heart attack and/or cancer cause my mum died of it, and emphysema creeps up on me. Go figure. Bloody cigarettes. I wish there was some way we could make the cigarette companies pay for out e cigs. I started when they had the alluring ads and even said it can't harm you.

i think your guess is a good as mine. some studies on some liquids maintain that the all the ingredients in them are safe for consumption but we're the real lab rats.

you could use just straight PG or VG and add some 100% natural flavours like bickfords or some of the Lor anne range if you want a taste and to go perhaps the safest route. but i'm not qualified to give any exact advice really..sorry

Lab rats, good analogy. And the truth.

hello ladybug...

you know,it wouldnt surprise me if i was slightly deficient in vitamin D3-especially now that its winter time...i think i'll start taking cod liver oil and multi-vitamins and see what happens...

in fact i wouldnt be surprised if at least some peoples supposed ecig symptoms were due to some sort of deficiency...sometimes its hard to pin down a definite cause for some things...

and yes,the quality of sleep we get is so very important for our general wellbeing...it can affect all aspects of our lives...

unfortunately ive been a hopeless insomniac all my adult life...so i can feel how that effects me in all sorts of ways daily...its not nice...
i really envy people who can go to bed at night and sleep well regularly...

Sorry for the OT post but Ladybug, I just had to confess. I stole your avatar for use on my msn messenger. That'll be my Monday morning display pic on there from now on...it's so ME! hehehe

OMG...love lady bugg! No wonder you stole it!

[Kate]

... I will be checking in more. I just don't know which thread is best to go to for normal this and that. Kate????

Bug

Hi Bug

just join in wherever your interests lie on the forum. If you're most interested in health then check the health forum first for example. The general esmoking discussion board is where all sorts of stuff gets discussed

[ladybug51]

Shame on you Mommyshann! :~) Na, that's cool. I stole it, sort of. I want to change my avatar to better suit Bug instead of ladybug or vera-visa. Just as long as it's not on this blog so as not to get confused. I have a really neat one I'd like to try. AM_Grouch? Need to think on this.

Has anyone noticed heartburn or indigestion from lack of nicotine? I've noticed that taking only a low dose can cause these symptoms for me. I use a couple of drops of high occasionally when I feel this coming on and it seems to go away. It might be that I've become used to too high a dose and just need an adjustment period.

Good morning everyone. I'm really ticked on a photo I can't optimize the way I want. Took a break.

I'm still learning how to things in here. Somehow I subscribed to this section/category. How do I to others; just talk on them?

Part of my severe coughing I found elsewhere. Need to find out how to safely clean atomizer. It had an awful taste and I think too much liquid.

I have NJOY pen style. Is there one better & cheaper that looks more like a cig? I like the way this one smokes for me, but I want to get one for my sister asap. Don't think she'll go for the pen. On tight budget from being sick and no work. Looking for cheaper but good juice and carts. Should I go somewhere else to seek. Kate, you know a lot. You can reply on my site.

BTW: researching, found a couple Asian sites that sell real cheap if you have time to wait for delivery. I know some of the companies here use them for bulk. Anyone know of these?

Using e-cig for 2 weeks and have a sore throat and sensitivity on back of tongue. Sure this has been discussed before on here but too far down in the thread. How long does this last?
