Getting a head buzz/rush

[Kate33]

I think so...I felt it too. But the feeling lessened though. And now it is gone. Although, there are times when I feel it again but fleeting though.

Whenever I vape too much at 18/24 mg I get the lightheadedness and tinnitus (the buzzing). Lower your nicotine until you no longer crave for cigarettes. I used to have weak knees in addition to the rush.

I've started testing with just PG and VG and flavoring in small amounts and then when I find a flavor I like I replace some of the PG amount with Nic liquid to mix up larger amounts. That way I can test taste for a few hours and not get sick from too much nic.

Ha. why are the simple things so hard to think of?

Have you noticed any difference in your recipes once nic is added? Is it changing the flavor much?

Someone explained on another thread that the head rush from analogs was from carbon monoxide, not nicotine. So, you may not get that same kind of head rush/buzz from vaping?

That's not true.

It is from a ramp-up of dopamine production in your brain.
This is what makes nicotine addictive - that over-production drops off quickly and you want to maintain, so you crave more.
This is also why it comes back if you stop for a while and start again.
You give your brain enough time to settle back down to your body's normal maintenance level and start idling again, them ramp it up again.

I haven't noticed any difference in flavor after adding my nic juice. The unflavored I got is perfectly clear, has virtually no smell and no flavor as far as I can tell. I use 48 mg unflavored and dilute it down to 12 mg, so if it had a slight flavor I don't know that I'd notice because there is so little compared to the flavor and PG/VG mix.
