Glad you are doing alright man! Would have been a literal cemetaryman. D: I'm afraid im gonna do something similar, even though I had an incident this morning already.
I'm clumsy, and broke a small bottle of 11mg black tea juice in my pocket today and didnt notice till about 4 minutes later. Got a MASSIVE headache. Thank god my pants absorbed most of it, and the headache with some jitters was all I got.
tl:dr... Don't put bottles of juice in your pants pockets! >.<;

Did the test results come back as nicotine "poisoning" or are you going on the doctor's suspicion?
Nic poisoning is hard to do with vaping, the required amount is really high, even in 25mg strength.
That said, it reminds me of when I had an arrhythmia attack one day after partying WAY too hard the night before. Stimulants and lack of dehydration can cause your heart to race. I was seriously freaked out, but was certain I wasn't having a heart attack. I kept my phone near, took an aspirin just in case and monitored my HR with a monitor I use for working out. I drank a ton of water and just tried to rest. It went away fairly quickly and it never came back. This was well before my vaping use and it was likely a result of too much drinking, smoking, and red bull the night before, coupled with more red bull and smokes in the morning.

AsI understand it [and still a novice here] the highest nic patch you can buy is 24mg. So, using your example above, one ML [about 20 drops] of 25mg nic is about the same as one maximum nic patch.
Please feel free to correct me if wrong, because I really want to understand how much nic I get from vaping. Oddly enough, it seems difficult to calculate.
Sounds like the alcohol to me....
...and the patches tend to be much stronger.... even though you'll still want to puff!!!

There have been several folks on here who have suggested that for those who need nicotine, to vape your "usual" dose at the same intervals you would have smoked cigarettes, approximating the nimber of puffs that one cigarette would have, and then vaping 0-Nic in between...
Maybe have two batteries set up during the day, your "nic" battery and your "no nic" battery...
Oddly, I no longer crave the nicotine; it is the act of smoking I was missing quite a bit, so I use no nic all day at this point.

Good points. I bought some high grade VG and diluted my 18mg nic 50/50, so in theory, I'm vaping 9mg nic. I do miss the flavor which has been seriously reduced by the dilution, so looking for a supplier with 6mg nic in VG juice with a tobacco flavor. [I dislike all those candy flavored things] I am convinced all my side affects were caused by PG based juice. YMMV
I should probably go to the ER then; my heart rate is never lower then 110. I have Imitrex headaches about 2 times a week.
I think Nic OD was a bit severe of a diagnosis, but if the treatment worked for you, cheers
I did. Many many times. According to what I've read around here, anecdotal, doctors reports and some experimentation by our member chemist we get less nicotine from vaping than smoking.
This sounds like my typical weekend morning when i smoked. I would chain smoke and drink, usually a pack or more with in the 4 hours or so I would be out. Woke up about every morning feeling like what you describe. I always attributed it to the smoking(nic and other chemicals) Since the smoking ban I haven't had the same trouble, I don't vape as much as I smoked tho.
Alchohol and vaping both tend to dehydrate. I just love when something new to them comes along and without tests Dr.s automatically blame it.
Get you some lower nic dude..................just for that purpose.
Maybe even for the first day with the new mod...... just saying.
Good call on seeing the doc, I have a BP machine here and keep an eye out because I have heard and experienced higher BP and HR.

I dunno I did at first have an overdose but that was with 16mg, I got 36 mg but I don't feel to terrible maybe i'm upping my tolerance
I liked the 16 and 18, so then bought 24 and 36. Both were too much for me, racing heart and high blood pressure. I bought pure VG to cut those two higher nic's in half, and no problems since. I now buy nothing but VG juice in the 12-18 range, and no bad effects.
I think it's like booze. Some people can swill it down, and others fall down. People's reactions to vaping seem to vary a great deal.
I certainly don't like or agree with the UK's potential to regulate e-cigs, but I wonder if the bigger issue is the juice. One can really mix up some pretty heavy batches. Even on this site, it's warned to wash your skin if you spill raw nic juice on yourself. I hope they arrive at a reasonable solution.

Many thanks! I have bought from them before, good place, and the way various countries [and US states] have banned e-cig's, it's good to stock up.
I highly doubt this was nicotine poisoning because normally 90% of nicotine purges from your system pretty quick and you said you went to the doctor the next morning. It would only take a few hours (maybe even less) to recover from a mild case of nicotine poisoning. I have vaped a ton and got the flushed cheeks and mild headache but it all goes away pretty quickly once you put the e-cig down for a bit.
This sounds way more like dehydration / hangover and then a little anxiety because you talked yourself into the fact that you thought you had nicotine poisoning (the mind is very powerful).

On Thursday I got two deliveries of liquid. On Friday, I was happily vaping away, trying them all. A little 36 mg in the morning to help me wake up. A lot of 24 mg throughout the day. I was chain vaping the way I used to chain smoke.
Around 6 I began to feel nauseated and realized what I had been doing. I immediately stopped and pulled it back to a more reasonable level and felt better.
Until I read this thread, I hadn't associated the killer headache on Saturday with all that vaping. But it makes sense. (A couple of Advil every 4 hours and it was gone in 6 or 7 hours.)
I think the problem was that I found some flavors I really, really liked so I was vaping for flavor as much as for nicotine. The morning cartful of 36 mg will stay, but i think I'll cut a lot of the 24s a little lower (and toss in the occasional cartful of 0 mg.)
