Concerned Newbie Vape User with Muscle Aches

[aa610]

Hey all!

I started vaping recently. First I tried one of the over-the-counter e-cigs, and then purchased a vaporizer with a bottle of Halo Tribeca Blend 6 mg/ml nicotine.

I inhaled it about 20 times as soon as I set it up. I then probably inhaled it ten times the following day, and then the same amount after.

Since then, I have had terrible muscle aches throughout the body and what feels to be joint aches throughout the body. I've searched for similar symptoms and I've seen other posts, but I'm concerned that it's been two days of no vaping, and I'm still having just as much discomfort as before.

Yesterday, I did drink more water than usual.

Has anyone experienced similar symptoms, and should I expect them to take longer to disappear if they are, in fact, associated with the vaping?

Thanks!

I had the same experience with muscle aches and a sore throat when I first started vaping. From researching this site, I learned that it was possibly a sensitivity to the high PG content of my e-liquid. I recall the physical discomfort went away in a few days once I went to a high VG e-liquid.
If your symptoms do not ease up in a few days after no vaping, it might be another medical issue (flu) or something and a trip to the doctor might be in order.

shan, thanks! It's been two days of no vaping, so I'll wait and see what happens over the next few. If nothing improves, will call my doc. Thanks!

7 years ago when i started vaping I had the same issue. I drank tons more water everyday, like untill I was sloshing around like a barrel. Went away after about a month. (Back then all there was was PG liquid so the above poster might be on to something)

thanks VNV.. comforting knowing that you had the same thing and symptoms persisted for some time before going away

If you recently quit smoking it could also be withdrawal from tobacco.

It could be the PG, Halo's juices are higher PG unless you get their eVo high VG line. You could try high VG juice and see if that helps. I read that PG will make lactic acid form and lactic acid is what causes muscle aches just like exercise causes.

Hello Sorry to read about the muscle aches. Trying 100% VG liquids might help. I have chronic pain from health issues, and switching to vaping actually helped some. Smoking was far more dehydrating (for me) than vaping.

thanks all! Overall feeling better.. not 100% but getting here. Haven't vaped in two weeks. Might have to give it up if it turns out to be the cause. Not even sure I want to chance it with VG.

If you could manage two weeks without nicotine consider yourself blessed and able to ditch inhaling anything.I am a smoker and cannot stop it even when was gasping for breath struck with some lung infection.

Are you still smoking cigarettes?

It should go away after a few more days once you're system is clearer of tobacco toxins. If the pain does not go away they then maybe you should be concerned but it's likely not vaping that is causing this pain.
