Well of course I do. however if it was that easy to just not use any nicotine at all then there wouldn't be any problem in the first place. The doctor was pretty realistic about it, he said to avoid energy drinks ( i told him i drink them ) and watch my nicotine use. so im still using some obviously .... and a cup of coffee in the mourn. im feeling much better today btw.
I think that we can say that a small minority of people seem to be very susceptible to ingestion of nicotine via vapour. We have seen a few cases now, hardened smokers that have had extreme reactions to vaping. I really can't figure out what is going on, I seem to be immune to the effects, I can vape with 36mg liquid for hours along with quite a bit off snuff and all that happens to me is a very mild headache. Perhaps it is the combination of PG and nicotine?
What is clear is that some people can be affected in a very bad way, we need to be careful here, we don't want people hurt.

I don't understand this phenomena. I was a smoker for 21 years. I started with Marlboro lights, then camel lights, then camel no filters, till eventually I was pretty much a Marlboro Red smoker probably for a good 10+ years.
I have been vaping for now 26 days I have gotten numerous amounts of liquid on me and constantly use 36mg liquid. I even mixed a bottle of 18mg with a bottle of 24mg and use that also. I have never felt any of these symptoms and frankly other than watching "Thank You for Smoking" never heard of OD'ing on nicotine.
So is it suffice to say when you get 24 or 36 or 18 or 11 or whatever strength of liquid that each drop contains said strength? Or is it more like there is 36mg of nicotine in the liquid split up between each drop, in which case you would be barely getting any nicotine just like a cigarette?
I treat the e-cig just as I would a cigarette and do not constantly use, in fact I have easily given up those morning cravings and overall if I was smoking analogues I think I would be smoking way less than the pack plus a day I used to smoke.
I guess I just don't understand how people are OD'ing on this.
End of rant.......

I used to smoke Golden Virginia roll ups and even if I chain smoked I wouldn't get overdose symptoms.
With vaping I have had palpitations, headache, heartburn and diarrhoea with too much nicotine.
Now I try to stick with low mg eliquid and occasionally have a couple of drops of high for a spike.

Out of interest has anyone looked into what brand of liquid or carts were used by the people who suffered reactions?
Where did they get these products from etc?

Yes. But I aint telling any names no more. http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...on/3579-worst-headache-my-life.html#post56314
Because it is something like 15 really. 18 in 1.2 ml makes how much in 1.0 ml? The kids are sleeping and I can´t count
That did enter my head as i typed it but really if there is a correlation, safety should be the primary concern

Yes, that's right, 15mg per 1ml for 18 Johnson Creek
I wonder if they use a different kind of nicotine or something because I didn't notice any buzz at all with it yet can feel a buzz with 11mg and higher in other brands.
It would be nice if they used a completely different nicotine base and everything for their "smokejuice". I would then never buy from China, lower nic or not. But I am sort of not confident they do not use the same old Chinese stuff with different flavours
Magish,
Hope you're feeling better now. IMHO, it's too much nic. The same problem has kept me from sleeping well the past 2 nights. LOUD pounding fast heartbeat. I've only been vaping 11mg, so I lowered it to 4. Still the same. Finally this afternoon, switched to zero. It does seems better but, the nice peeps on this site say it might take a while to go away.
After more thought it dawned on me that the fast heartbeat started the night I got my usb-direct-thingy (you like those tech terms?
) from puresmoker. Oops! Guess I vaped (11mg) for an hour solid without even realizing it. Betcha that got me a delayed nic OD. Oh, this is just too easy.....we'll have to be careful.Trying now to treat this more like an analog - put it down for a while instead of constantly puffing.
Maybe these liquids do effect people differently....wouldn't be surprised. I smoked 1.5 of salem lights for decades, yet the 11mg is plenty strong for me......TOO strong if I over-vape. Glad the zero nic liquid exists!!
I'm glad you worked out what the problem was Mimi, I suspect some people don't even consider nicotine.
Just for a quick, rough idea of what you vaped:
There are approximately 20 drops in 1ml
I vape 2 drops on an efficient atomiser in 5 minutes
That is 24 drops in an hour of constant vaping
24 drops is close to 1ml
1ml of 11mg eliquid equals 11mg of nicotine
That's around 11 average cigs or 22 low nic cigs in an hour.

I believe there is a mistake in the guesswork. When dripping you use up the liquid much faster. You get much more vapor, better kick (hotter vapour), but burn the liquid faster. Or at least I do. Too much faster for my liking.

Wooooooooowwweeeeeee, no wonder!!!! Thanks Kate, for the math! Me thinks I better order some lo nic flavor that doesn't taste so good. Then maybe I'll behave better & quit vaping _too, too_ much....
Ok now im worried.
I ordered the medium 14mg nic carts which i now realise are way too high for me. Is there any way i can lower their strength or do i have to return them for lower ones?
