Has anyone else noticed an increase in blood pressure since switching from analogs to e-gigs? I don't know what the cause is, but my blood pressure is higher since I started e-cigs. If anyone else has experienced this, please let me know. Thanks.

I have high blood pressure, and take medication for it. There doesn't seem to be a difference from analogs to e-cigs with me. Better check with your Doc. Your high BP may be coming from a different source.
Once apon a time a stopped smoking and used snus instead. The levels of nicotine I recieved from Snus were drastically lower. I did experience a temporary rise in BP around that time. It regulated after a couple weeks though. I have high BP normally so the doc watchs that close with me. She seemed to think that it was due to the lowered nic levels. Same thing happened when I started vaping but in a much less profound manner.
I would say go see the doc to be sure!

I noticed a small increase in my blood pressure in the beginning but now it has gone back to normal. Please see your doctor if it continues, because JD is right - it could be from a different source.
Best wishes!

Thank you all for your replies. I do vape alot more often than I smoked analogs because I don't have to go outside to vape. Sometimes I'll sit at this computer and suck on it like a pacifier. I'll go see the doc and make sure everything is OK. I have wayyyyyyyyy to much invested in equipment to stop vaping now 
SKYYcamel,
Still curious as to what strength of nicotine you vape. IE: If you are chain vaping 36mg nic all day I think that might do it right there!

Yeah i think the NIC level has a lot to do with it. Have you tried a lower dose?
I had a significant decrease in both BP and heart rate. In April my BP was running 230/110 and my heart rate was in the 130's. Yes, I was on medication for it, a lot of it in fact. Since vaping, and stopping the analogs my numbers are now in normal ranges. I still take the meds, but at least they are working now.
Maybe you could get some extra-low or non-nic juice for when you're at the computer?
Yep, chain vaping will do it. I used to chain vape 36 and noticed my heart actually skipping a beat every now and again. It was pretty noticeable, as if it paused and started back up with a sudden kick. Put up with that for about a week....yeah, I know I was pushing it.
Then I cut the liquid down to 24, not the chain vaping...didn't work. Had to bring it down to 16-18mg.

My blood pressure actually went down when I started vaping. Started with 24, then 16/18, now I'm down to 11. Probably best to ask your doctor. So many things can affect our blood pressure, best to be safe. Hope you feel better soon.
As others have asked, what is the lvl of nic you're using?
For pacifier use.. you might want to consider using some no/low nic juice. Only hit the nic juice as needed.

Depends, but mostly no.
I use mods, so for me....I can use a 0 nic juice and still get a throat hit equivalent to vaping 16-18 or 36mg.
But then again, what do you classify as throat hit? We all have different expectations of throat hits.
The nic causes a scratchy type sensation at the back of the throat/lungs. Some don't consider this a throat hit/lung hit.
Some look for heat or the combination of the scratchiness and heat.
I prefer the heat sensation. Scratchy sensation with 0 nic is not there, atleast for me.
Nicotine doesn't contribute to vapor, it's carried by it. It's the glycerin (glycol, PG,VG,etc..) Heavy producing vapor is desired if you want more nic intake.
I'm ordering some 8mg RY4 from TheHouseofVapor right now. And I'll make an appointment with my doc next week. Thank you all for your advice. This forum has been so much help to me and I appreciate it.

18mg isn't a lot, but everyone responds differently. The Doc appointment is a good idea as I don't think any of us that replied are doctors...so what do we really know!?
My blood pressure is down, but during back surgery years ago I put on a nicotine patch It raised my heart rate and blood pressure. So who knows
