Vaping makes me tired?

[TaketheRedPill]

well, if short-puffs mean low nicotine and is stimulating
and if long-puffs mean high nicotine and is relaxing/sleep-producing
I would think maybe that sleeping a lot, means too much eliquid (nicotine)? (too high a mg or too often a dosing?)
does that sound right?

Now that I think about it I have become really tired and lazy too. I'm thinking it's a withdrawal from the cigarettes. Cigarettes were my energy for so many years. I still take multi-vitamins and get plenty to drink so I'm ok in that arena. but sleeping longer and fatigued a lot.

My brother says: I gave up smoking 4 years ago. I was tired all the time for weeks but it passed, slowly - how is that linked to vaping? I have never vaped or used any NRT so I think it is soley linked to giving up smoking. the doctor told me to get more excercise, drink more water and eat better. He wasn't worried by my symptoms once he knew I had given up smoking.

He dictated that lol

Cod liver oil may help, if you're looking for a D fix. Many (most?) varieties of cod liver oil also contain vitamin A, which helps offset the loss by taking D.

Just piping in to say "me too". Ever since starting to vape been feeling really really tired. Yawning right now actually. I think it's the nicotine, and the amount I'm inhaling. Planning to switch off to a no-nic vape in the evenings and see how that goes.

All in all, I'd rather be tired than coughing my lungs out and stinking of smoke!

No, that's a really bad idea.
And wrong information. Sorry

Dangers Of Cod Liver Oil

[QUOTE=V4Lis4me;1019418]straight from the mayo clinic,
one of the most.... if not THE MOST.... trusted medical sources...

Vitamin D: Safety - MayoClinic.com


No offense, but I have stated what the amounts would have to be to be toxic. The last known case of toxicity from D3 was from someone who took 42,000i.u.s PER day for 7 months. In this case, the person was treated and is fine. So, although it CAN be toxic, you would have to take at least that much each and every day. My suggestion is 2000-5000 i.u.s a day, AND you can have a simple test, called 25(OH)hydroxy to see what your levels are. Most of us are deficient.

I am in a study for D3, along with thousands of other folks, all taking high doses with NO side effects, well, 2 pee more, and great benefits.

Mayo Clinic is a great place, but they are NOT the most trusted medical source.
There is no great profits to be had in vitamin d3. It is very cheap to manufacture.

Millions of people are treated with 50,000i.u.s once a week for deficiencies, and the older we get, the harder it is to absorb.

Here is what I will say,

Vitamin D is a fat soluble vitamin, which means that you can indeed retain too much of it!
As opposed to a water soluble vitamin, which you will excrete the excess out in urine.

Rule of thumb, fat soluble vitamin=toxicity possible
water soluble vitamin= toxicity highly unlikely

not to say that the levels of vitamin d to produce toxicity aren't extremely high, but the possibility does exist.

Now back on vitamin d,
yes, we as humans do produce our own vitamin d......
from sunlight.
Our vitamin d is synthesized in our bodies from cholesterol.

So you do need cholesterol to make you own vitamin d. That is why people bunkered up in their houses up north for winter should have some vit d (and why lots of milk is fortified with it).

Milk does not contain enough vitamin d. You would have to drink appx. 40-45 glasses per day!!

Vitamin D Deficiency and Statin Drugs

This article is not just about statin drugs and vit. d, but sort of an overall picture of the problem.

The referenced article is meaningless. At least, without reading the for-pay paper, I can make neither heads nor tails of the complaint other than "16 experts," which has no value and a list of three potential ailments without any accompanying data.

FWIW, well over 16 experts believe that MMR vaccines cause autism, and that's complete bunk.

I will try to find a non pay article for you. However, you can get vitamin A toxicity much quicker than D. That is why I don't think cod liver is the easy answer for getting D3. JMHO

You say that MMR vaccines cause autism is complete bunk. Actually, there is no definite proof EITHER way. All they are saying is there is no definitive proof as yet. Research is ongoing.
