sorry about that everyone.. I calmed myself down now.. took an hour of pretty much chugging water and meditating.
and I think i will do that.. get myself a lower nic level juice just for the evenings, Don't every wanna experience that type of episode again :'(

and well i used to be a heavy smoker till 2 weeks ago so i started with 24 mg cuz it gave me the dosage my body craved or else it wouldn't satisfy me.

has anyone else ever had an episode.. it be nice to hear some of them.
and has there been reports of people who actually had poisoning from vaping? (not someone drinking the bottle...cuz i think that's a given that you'll get extremely sick :p

Nicotine has a "half life" in your body of just a few hours, so if you're not dead, it'll pass with time.

I started with 24mg too. I was a 3 pack/day smoker for almost 40 years. I quit instantly, but the way I did it was chain-vaping with those stupid little cartridges, which were the standard thing a couple years ago.

Yeah, I got dizzy and a little nauseous, especially the first day. But I chalked it up to vaping and tried to slow down a bit and it always passed in an hour or so.

Serious cases of nicotine poisoning in adults is very rare. Even among children it's rare and is nearly always caused by chewing cigarette butts. There were no deaths among either children or adults reported as of a year or two ago, according to the Federal poison control database. If you were to drink nicotine juice, you'd get very ill, but unless you were sedated or drunk or something, you'd puke it up before enough was absorbed to kill you. Nicotine and stomach acids don't get along very well.

I'm not sure you could vape enough 24mg, or even 36mg, to do serious harm to yourself. You'd puke or faint or something before you could ingest anything near a lethal dose.

glad you're feeling better. when I first started vaping, I had some unusual dissociative sensations. your body is detoxing allot of chemicals. Too much or too little nic can make one feel weird. It does settle down with time.

I'll add to that. Since you just started vaping you are probably vaping more just for the simple fact it's a new fad/toy. I did the same thing (on more than one occasions, specially when I buy new toys) and I think most people have when they first got started.

Ty is right, as well, you are detoxing from all the chemicals in your body from burning tobacco. That will probably last at the least another few weeks to several months. You'll start to notice when you start feeling a tad bit better, it gets better every day you don't have a real cigarette. I know, after 40+ years smoking and several attempts to quit smoking using it seems like hundreds of methods, that I've almost made it 3 years of smoke free. Never have I ever been able to not smoke that long a period. I have absolutely no side effects now (unless I don't drink enough) and my health has improved a 1000%.

Just be sure to post if you have another other problems, there is usually someone around to answer questions or direct you to a place to find the answers,

Thank you guys for the help and the reassuring me that ill be alright :)
and i agree... since ive only been vaping for 2 weeks now, i tend to use it much more then when i would smoke analogs.. even though i did chain smoke 3-4 at a time at some points.

The human body is amazing in its way of getting rid of chemicals in the body :O
hopefully it wont happen again, need to control my vaping -_-
 
I've done this many times as well. I've learned what my warning signs are when I'm vaping to much nicotine and I'll take a break and then switch to my lower nicotine juice.

I was about a 1/2 pack a day smoker and the lower nic levels didn't do it for me. I use the 24mg stuff now. I also chain vape so after I get my fix I switch down to my lower nic vape and try to force myself to take breaks (hard to do). I also drink a lot of coffee while I chain vape and that doesn't help.

As for my sig. I started vaping a little over a year ago. I struggled, then my ego-t forced me back to analogs. Thanks to gotvapes and their new stuff (Vision and Cryptonite) I'm back on the wagon. This time around it feels right.

I know (I'm New) that sometimes I overfill my cartos and get it in my mouth... I have thought oh it's just a little bit and swallowed and OMgosh it was like the first time when I was a kid and the neighbor kid gave me chewing tobacco.... It shot me back to that time instantly... it only lasted for a little while, but I felt nauseous.

There have been a few times I can tell I vaped a little much, but nothing like that. Originally I bought 18mg juice because I thought I would be vaping too much and not getting enough nicotine. To be successful I had to get some 24mg, so I have both, I hope to eventually cut down the nicotine, but I find the juices taste better with more nic.... I hope that's not a mental thing! Great luck to you.

sorry about that everyone.. I calmed myself down now.. took an hour of pretty much chugging water and meditating.
and I think i will do that.. get myself a lower nic level juice just for the evenings, Don't every wanna experience that type of episode again :'(

Yep ive had stuff like this happen, generally its half the nicotine and half just a panic attack, if you seriously feel disfunctional and cannot operate correctly to the extent that its hard to walk (obviously you do get slightly dizzy from cigarettes too some times) then i would call poison control or go to doctors, however it was probably just your body going into a fight or flight panic mode and speeding up metabolizing of the nicotine in order for you to get back to a normal state. I currently vape 18mg when i chane vape because the 24 woudl make me dizzy and have a sore chest. So cut down but dont worry about what happened just try to limit yourself untill you get 24 :) happy vaping brosis! dont stress!
