a ridiculous sounding question

[Nitemist]

Does anyone else get hiccups while vaping? stress levels were particularly high today (and I checked - NO full moon excuse THIS time!) and I was chain-vaping for all I was worth (if they had been analogs, I prolly would have hit the pack and a half mark JUST AT WORK!), and noticed that this was the second or third time it's happened (I'm not sure if I was hitting the PV as hard the other times)...

Ideas anyone?

Lots of people get this! You are inhaling air Just take steady full draws and resist the urge to inhale deeply too many times in a row. After a bit the hiccups will quit.

Might also be a bit too much nic, Nite. Try vaping less when it happens. Worked for me.

I did for the first month Nitemist sir.... Thought it was just my imagination...

 

[Nitemist]

Morandir - it's not your imagination (I thought it was MINE too, but time won out!)
@MK - thank you for the info - kind of like the end of an analog - you puff away the last 3 or 4 hits... I think I was doing that (not sure though - will try to get it to happen again, just to test)
and - BTW - WoW are you guys QUICK on the replies! thanks for the fast help (and here I thought I was a lone night-owl!)
This has GOT to be the fastest forum I've ever been a member of!

Yep..lots of nightowls and then the early birds come on. It also helps that when it's late for me, it's the shank of the evening for the west coasters.

lol I never thought about this before...Ive gotten hiccups recently on a couple occassions. makes sense now...I was vaping and talking really fast..lol! sometimes I get hiccups when I eat too fast too! lol

 

[Mary Kay]

I get hicups when my Blood Pressure gets too low..it wakes me up and I eat. I appreciate it because it's an early warning alarm!

 

[CatMommy]

It happens. I remember our lovely Miss Taryn used to say it was the tell-tale sign that she over did it. It happens to me...mostly at work!

 

[Flowerlady-8898]

Yep, sure do. You're not alone. I get them a lot more, now that I'm vaping.

And those of us on the other side of the world !

Never had hiccups from vaping, not even when I've vaped hard & continuously. I wonder if it's in the inhalation technique?

Never got the hiccups, but in the early days when I would accidentally swallow a bit of liquid when inhaling, it always made me burp.

Bingo! When people start vaping, they mimic their smoking inhalation technique. After about a month you begin to equilibrate to vaping INSTEAD of smoking, and it usually decreases to zero. There are two basic ways to inhale during smoking or vaping: 1. Inhale directly into your lungs, or 2. Suck the vapor into your mouth THEN inhale into your lungs. If you find yourself getting hiccups, try taking longer, lighter, slower draws directly into your lungs rather than staging the breath in your mouth prior to inhalation.

I learned this when I was smoking; in instances where I happened to have the hiccups, inhaling smoke would cause an immediate hiccup - I quickly learned to draw lightly and inhale directly vs my normal draw into my mouth prior to actually inhaling technique. Unfortunately, you can't blow smoke rings as well this way though

I got the hiccups when I was using snus if I swallowed some of the juice, I heard them referred to as 'niccups'

its related to nicotine. I dont know why it happens but i know thats what causes it.

 

[Nitemist]

TY for all the info! sadly I have only 18mg juice available ATM... but I WAS able to replicate the effect from yesterday (on purpose this time) and it seems to happen when I'm hitting like the 'final drags' off an analog... 3 or four hits in rapid succession... I find that I have extended the drag time to an average of about 5 seconds or so, tried the "direct into the lungs", and I thought I was gonna burst a lung hacking - just not ready for that yet I suppose... just have to take a few deep breaths when the pucker factor gets high at work (ppl can be such idiots in traffic!)
Oh - think I may have found a new tagline: "If ignorance is bliss, why are there not more happy people around?"

LOL!

LOL!

Yeah, you have to go real slow and light with the direct inhale. Technically, it should be referred to as the "drag on a joint" method

I get hiccups when vaping sometimes...I used to get them when I smoked too much too.

But I really really get them when I get juice in my mouth lol

 

[Creniker]

I looked it up. It's caused by a mild nicotine overdose. It won't hurt you but I would reccomend quiting vaping for like 20min. It happens most commonly with chew, snus, and NRTs, but its simply the system taking in too much nicotine.

 

[MachoKing]

It happens to me sometimes with Snus but I've never had vaping bring it on.
