Another stupid question

[alamor]

Hello again everyone.

I have another stupid question that I am hoping you long term users can answer for me. I started vaping a week ago when I decided to quit smoking the analog sticks. At night I find myself puffing away on my ecig almost constantly.

Is that a bad thing? I have needed to use it ALOT to keep from lighting up a real cigarette. I seem to be using it less than when I first started. But, at night when i'm watching TV I seem to pretty much puff on it all night (off and on) I am using a juice called "Spokane super sauce" it's medium strength and it's VG. Just wanted to make sure I am not gonna have a Nicotine overdose or anyting

You will know if you are getting too much nic. You do not say how much you smoked or the mg/ml sauce you are using but you may want to get something a little higher for those times when you are feeling that vaping isn't killing the craving for a smoke.

I find myself doing the exact same thing. I don't worry about it personally- I just sit back and enjoy the flavor while watching my favorite shows. Your body will tell you if you get too much.

It's very, VERY common to do that...especially early on. Like Liv2ski said, your body will tell you if you're getting too much nicotine. When you're first getting off cigarettes, you need (IMO) to do whatever it takes to curb the urges. It'll taper off later once you are used to being without all the nasty stuff BESIDES nicotine that is in cigarettes. It's a big adjustment period. Do whatever it takes......and enjoy it. Good luck.

Symptoms of slight nicotine overdoes: dizzyness, nausea, headache

I think it is virtually impossible to get a serious nicotine overdoes from vaping.
Your body is going to make you stop long before you get to any serious issues.

If you get too much nicotine you should notice one or more symptoms like headache, rapid heartbeart, cold fingertips, dizziness or groggy feeling. If you think you are vaping too much, buy the next level lower nic in the juice you like and use that when you are vaping a lot.

Most new vapers need higher nicotine strength or they vape constantly. You should consider getting some 24mg stength eliquid and PG gives a little better throat hit than VG does. You should experiement. You can always lower your nic strength but you can't make it stronger.

I been doing the same thing for months. It's ok as well as very enjoyable!
Keep on vaping!!

I'm adding my "ashtray" juice made from old analog wet butts "extract" and PG to a normal e-juice. I'm running out of "butts" though because I don't smoke like before.

lol ashtray juice.... that just sounds nasty

 

[alamor]

LOL, yes it does! Ashtray juice sounds scary. Ever since I quit smoking a WHOLE week ago. I actually had to throw my trash can away in my bedroom. I use to dump my ashtray out when it was full. And it SMELLED horrible. So, I can imagine what ashtray juice tastes like lol.

I have to say that sounds aweful. If you want to extract tobacco flavor why not just buy a pack and soak them??

speaking of "ashtray juice". Anyone here watch that TV show "Strange Addictions"? There was one episode where this girl was addicted to eating cigarette ash! Yes, she would dip her finger into ash trays and eat the ashes (uuuugggghhhh). She also was addicted to eating clay pottery. Where do they find these people?!?!

I had the same concern

I ended up smoking a cigarette after 2 weeks of vaping.

The cigarette gave me a headache, made me sick to my stomach, Vaping as much as I was didn’t do that.

I think am vaping a higher concentration of nicotine than you are ( currently 24mg )

I don’t think I am getting anywhere near the nicotine I was getting smoking a pack a day... which is a good thing.

Smoking a single ciggerette convinced me of that.

I saw that too... My understanding is that eating dirt, burned matches, clay etc. can be brought on by an iron deficiency (your body craves those flavors and you don't know why). I'm surprised her doctor didn't test her for that.

When I was a kid, my Mom would take a "pinch" of dirt from the plant on the kitchen window sill. Those little eccentricities remind me of how much I miss her.
