A list of symptoms when quitting tobacco and changing to an ecigarette

[Kamanjah]

I have chronic sinus trouble, but it has eased up since I've been using only e-cigs. I also find I have less problems with dry mouth - I'm on a med that causes dry mouth, and when I smoked analogs, it was really bad.

I've had a couple of weird headaches, but I attribute that to too much nicotine. I vape way more than I smoked! When I put the e-cig down for an hour, the headaches went away.

I had gucky nose for the first couple of days, but it's cleared up.

I had heartburn and burping really bad and narrowed that problem down to the carts that came with my penstyle RN4072. I had been dripping carts and then put in a new pre-filled cart that came with it and the heartburn and burping came back, ditched that cart and started fresh with either Jane's Kick juice or JC and was fine.

Hi all ...I have been vaping for a month now and so far my side effects have been..

1. Some really great dreams.
2. smelly fa**s.
3. A few extra spots.
4. No more smokers cough.
5. slightly less puffed out during exertion. (cycling!)
6. A little gain in weight.

Hi Everyone!

I'm new to the Forum and I have been off analog's for 3 weeks now.

I did have some of the dry / sore throat for the first week. I also found I would get nauseous if I vaped too much. Is nausea a symptom of too much nicotine? I appreciate any feedback.

Thanks, EJFan197

Hi Everyone!

Yep. That good ol' "green" feeling is your body reacting to too much nicotine

I haven't come across anyone else complaining of those problems yet lorie

 

[Kate]

Yes Lorie, diarrhoea, constipation and farts all seem to be related to change in nicotine dose. It should settle down in a few weeks, meanwhile try to maintain a steady dose, close to what you are used to.

Yes! Though you are probably swallowig extra juice, since what really makes bloating and horrendous gas is nic gum--which I assume is from swallowing nicotine. My stomach swelled so bad from it, people thought I was pregnant, and it hurt so bad, I thought I would blow. Ecigs give me some gas, but nothing like the gum, and it's my guess, that just like the heartburn, it's from swallwing some nic juice!

I went in for a teeth cleaning yesterday, and the hygenist was shocked. Usually it would take her 20 minutes or so to scrape off all the stains. This time it only took 5 minutes. I told her I was going to cut her fee since she was doing a lot less work

 

[balldope]

I do recall getting some of these symptoms (Dry/sore Throat, Headaches, Nausea etc..) when I switched from normal store purchased cigs packs to RYO using American Spirit Natural shags. Maybe it's the withdrawal from all the other crap in normal cigs.

 

[lorie1482]

Thanks guys for the feed back, I gotta get used to these symptoms!!!!! I'm finding though that because I'm experiencing these symptoms that I'm vaping less as a result!!!!!

 

[lostit]

I to am having trouble settling down to e cigs, after a atomiser died and run out of carts over christmas. e cig 2 weeks analogs 3-4 per day ..Now analogs 6-8 a day why am I finding it harder this time..8-o

I got the dry mouth and lips and seem to have had loads of colds since e vapping I drink much more as I am dry as a chip.. and yes I am sleeping less and getting up in the night wide awake.

OMG YES! i thought it was only me and my b/f said i was just being paranoid because along with the terrible bloat i keep getting chills! i stopped vaping and smoked like a half pack of real cigs and poof bloat was gone...is there definite proof that vapin is safe? and where can i get the vg juice instead of pg? i buy from puresmoker.com

thanx

 

[brassriot]

Started vaping today. High strength and vaping pretty consistantly. No big time side effects yet but I'm still smoking analogs. Going to slowly ween myself off them so I don't get my boyish crater face back (my complexion has been so nice for years)! The only thing I can think of that has happened is a soar throat after taking a nap. Also I've had heart burn and a little tummy ache. Don't know if they are related or not as I have a bad stomach neway. Besides that I think vaping is great! My dad is 72 and started today too, kind of curious how he will respond after 60 sum odd years of smoking. It would be kind of funny to see him break out w/ acne..hehe, I'm evil!

Vaping could never be 'proved' as safe .... it could only ever be proved as 'safer'.........the only 'safe' thing is to not inhale anything other than air.....and even then that cannot be called 'safe' with all the pollution you are inhaling.

 

[katink]

Don't forget you stopped (or severely lessened) smoking tobacco. And even if you do go on getting nicotine (through the e-cig), stopping with ALL the other crap in real cigs can give all kinds of problems. Like just about all that are being mentioned in this thread.
Not saying that starting with e-smoking can't have it's problems or symptoms (certainly the dry mouth/throat from the vapor is the most frequent one, in the first few weeks)... but it would be a good thing if you could distinguish what is coming from starting with e-smoking, and what is coming from stopping with (or severely lessening) tobacco. Just to keep things as they are happening clear for yourself.

I agree too, better safe than sorry. Too much good information gets lost on forums because it isn't linked in appropriate discussions.

Weegie, since starting esmoking my eyes have felt a bit grittier than usual, I don't know if it's because I've been looking at the computer monitor more or not.

Prolonged contact with propylene glycol is essentially non-irritating to the skin. Undiluted propylene glycol is minimally irritating to the eye, and can produce slight transient conjunctivitis (the eye recovers after the exposure is removed). Exposure to mists may cause eye irritation, as well as upper respiratory tract irritation. Inhalation of the propylene glycol vapors appears to present no significant hazard in ordinary applications. However, limited human experience indicates that inhalation of propylene glycol mists could be irritating to some individuals. Therefore inhalation exposure to mists of these materials should be avoided. Some research has suggested that propylene glycol not be used in applications where inhalation exposure or human eye contact with the spray mists of these materials is likely, such as fogs for theatrical productions or antifreeze solutions for emergency eye wash stations.[8]
Allergic reaction
Research has suggested that individuals who cannot tolerate propylene glycol probably experience a special form of irritation, but that they only rarely develop allergic contact dermatitis. Other investigators believe that the incidence of allergic contact dermatitis to propylene glycol may be greater than 2% in patients with eczema.[11]
Patients with vulvodynia and interstitial cystitis may be especially sensitive to propylene glycol. Women struggling with yeast infections may also notice that some OTC creams can cause intense burning.[12]Post menopausal women who require the use of an estrogen cream may notice that brand name creams made with propylene glycol often create extreme, uncomfortable burning along the vulva and perianal area. In these cases, patients can request that a local compounding pharmacy make a "propylene glycol free" cream.
