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

[CrazyTerrie11]

4th day in. Having throat problems. It feels big. I think it's from the PG. Will this eventually go away? As well as the achy bones, and dry mouth?

Drink lots of water...Ive read that the juice can dehydrate you initially. Im not sure which ingredient does that but I remember my mouth and throat feeling kinda "fuzzy", but it didnt last more than a week. Good Luck!

Many of the symptoms listed are IMO due to the low quality PG (Propylene glycol) based 'Made in China' liquids that nearly everyone sells. Most suppliers are trying to compete for price rather than quality.

Unless price is your highest priority (it seldom is), I recommend ECOpure KRYSTAL 36mg. It's an extremely high quality VG (vegetable glycerin) based liquid. You can dilute it with ECOmix (so a 50/50 blend would give you an 18mg e-liquid, but I prefer it straight. It's fantastic!

Intellicig-usa.com doesn't carry the KRYSTAL yet, so I get mine from the UK (intellicig.com).

No, I'm not an affiliate, and won't make a cent, even if you buy 100 gallons of it.

Healthy vaping!

Rick.

You can get the KRYSTAL here in the US from the gals at Cignot.com:
Cignot your Midwest Electronic Cigarette store.
(not a shill for them...just a happy customer).

I've only been vaping for about 3 weeks but my symptoms were as follows:

• Sore gums, kind of like weakened gums that hurt to brush. (Went away after about 5 days)
• Acne flare up. Nothing extreme but still noticeable...seems to be subsiding atm.

• Dry lips. No big deal.

Other than that it's been smooth sailing!

No analogs for about a week....Sore throat and Coughing ... I switched to VG e liquid, and that seems to help the dryness a bit. I'm coughing quite a bit now. I hope this is a good thing..lol

Just started vaping to replace cigars. Love this buzz, but my chest hurts from enhaling. Could it be too much nicotine? I've dropped from 18 to 11mg.

I ordered some Lung Juice from Nhaler....orange lung juice. its got some healing herbs in it....So, im trying that now. It tastes pretty good, hope it helps.

I also switched today from PG to VG e liquid only. Made a batch of VG to use, chocolate mint, yum.... It seems to be helping the sore throat a bit.

Hope this helps someone..if they want to try what im doing.

I dunno...seems like a cigar would have higher nicotine than 18 mg. It may be similiar to what im experiencing...Our lungs are probably trying to get rid of the tar and trying to heal.

Yea, My lungs are definitely clearing this morning. It's probably a good sign. Thanks!

...I'm also concerned about how much nicotine I'm getting. I'm sure I haven't smoked the equivalent of a pack. I use the e-cig 6-7 times a day and usually take 8-10 puffs each time. I've already gone through 3 cartridges, so I'm either doing this wrong, or my cartridges don't have enough liquid in them...

Just keep in mind that there are studies out there that show vaping provides only about 10 percent of the nicotine absorption as compared to an analog cig. Also, with analog cigs, you continue to get nicotine even after you smoke because the particles are lodged into your lungs. Vapor for some reason doesn't stick to the lungs. So people compensate by vaping maybe twice as many puffs as an analog... and even then you don't get as much, but it tricks the body well enough to quit smoking.

When I started vaping, I used a low 12mg solution because these were "lights" and I smoked "ultra lights" so I figured it would be good. But I experienced the devil of withdrawl symptoms only to think it was "too much" nicotine (I actually started to smoke analogs again out of nicotine fear). Once I read more info about the study, I jacked my nicotine levels up to 24mg and that made a world of a difference (no more analog desires, less severity of withdrawl symptoms). Anymore than 24mg tastes nasty to me.

Anyways, here is the post on the forum:

To summarize, it is rediculously difficult to overdose on nicotine via vapor unless you smoke 36mg+ straight ALL DAY LONG. What does everyone else think?

Hey, great post, this is helpful and has laid some questions to rest. My most un savory symptom would have to be severe forehead acne. I'm 31 and have had pimples here and there as part of the norm, but for the past week or so it's really gotten bad on my forehead and was raising concerns. I even began to think that Pro Active was the culprit. I know that when I had quit smoking for a couple months that my skin had cleared up wonderfully. Then I started smoking again and I could tell that acne was becoming an issue again. Unfortunately, I can't tell if this round its a product of the e cigg or if it's the so called toxins coming out. I do hope that this is temporary and will go away soon.
