How many times have you OD'd on nic?

[Spikey]

I noticed I had some problems with ODing when I switched from 901 to the 401 (Pilot). I think that maybe because u have to pull harder on the 901 to get the same vapor as the 401 with less pull... I tend to pull more or harder on the 401 than I need to. It also feels so much better than the 901 that I puff it constantly and rarely put it down. I switched from 24 to 16 but I think I will start mixing 16 with 11 if I am going to constant puff (or switch to 11 completely) to avoid the OD.

I actually swallowed too much nic that was leaking from my cart today and had to run to the bathroom.
But no od from simply vaping yet.

The first sign I get that I am beginning to OD is a stuffy sinus and ringing ears. That's noticable enough to warn me to slow down, so I seldom get any worse OD effects

Leaford, you are the first person i've seen mention anything about ringing in the ears. I had noticed i'd been getting that but wasn't sure if it was due to vaping. Especially since i just went a week without vaping but was smoking analogs. I did have a little ringing one evening but nothing quite as much as when i was on the ecig.
Today i am back on the ecig and yep, the ringing has come back some. And now i just noticed the stuffy nose. Guess i just need to watch my vaping afor a while. I have gone back up to 24mg from 16 mg so maybe that caught me out a little too. I'm picking up some VG on Thursday with the intention of mixing the high down to a 12mg mix. Hopefully that will take care of that.

Now i know the ringing is a sign of too much nic i guess i should stop when that starts huh .

I think the one problem with vaping is that the Nicotine strength and intake is so uncertain ....I use quite a bit of 36 mg....yet for me it doesn't seem all that strong...and the longer I have been vaping it seems as if I am loosing my nic tollerance....because if I try an analogue now.....it seems to give me a much bigger nicotine 'high'.....I almost feel like I am o/d ing on an analogue now. .......I have been wondering if it's possible my bottle of high strength has been loosing it's nicotine strength since it has been exposed to the air and I am not really vaping 36mg anymore.....I am getting a new bottle tomorrow so that will answer that question for me.

I can't help but wonder if you're OD'ing on the nicotine or all of the other crap when you hit an analog.

Yes kate had thoughts along similar lines. Perhaps it's the carbon dioxide you get from burning tobacco or something and nothing at all to do with Nicotine.

I have just received my 'new' bottles of 36 mg ...and after a few vapes I am getting that very light headed high again....so now I am wondering if a bottle does start to loose it's nicotine strength once it has been opened and keeps on getting exposed to the air.

damn, i just bought a 50 ml bottle, hope it dosnt go bad....

spikey... yea, i may have been hitting it too much because i liked the way it hit, and wanted to break it in, lol, but now im a bit afraid of it(mostly because im still not feeling well).the little that ive used it though, the batteries do seem to last long, and dripping into the cart isnt as bad as some made it seem. i think they should put a light spring under the cart that would raise it to the surface when removed from the atomizer. was thinking of taking the spring out of the flint part of a bic lighter to see if i could rig something would be sweet if the cart popped up when removed.

An hour later and I am feeling convinced it isn't just my imagination that I am getting more of a 'high' from the freshly opened juice.....perhaps it isn't a good idea to buy big bottles.

I wonder if anyone else is thinking a fresh bottle has a higher strength...might be a good topic for a new thread.

I'm a newby & not started yet (still waiting for the battery to charge) but, I have a question. What nicotine strength should I start with? I am smoking very low (nic 1mg & tar 0.1mg) cigaretts at the moment however, I am getting through 2 packs a day
