Hey what's up guys. I've been vaping for about 3 months now. I just got an IPv4 100w. It's built to .34 ohms and I'm vaping 3mg juice. All of a sudden I feel super light headed, drained of energy and slightly nauseous. Is this due to the box mods high strength? Idk cause I vape a lot- like 8-10 mls a day. Just thought I would ask
Can box mods or baling in general make you sick?

You are 'nic sick' i.e. you have consumed too much nicotine, those symptom are your body letting you know, and they will pass after a short amount of time.
Being that you're already down to 3mg you may need to further dilute your juice or slightly decrease your hit frequency/intensity or build a setup that produces less volume of vapor with each hit.
If your favorite juice comes in a 0mg option i would probably start by mixing that 50/50 with 3mg to get 1.5mg and see if that helps.
Best of luck!

I had a suspicion it was this. Cool thank you for confirming this. I'll wait a couple of hours and the. Begin vaping again but I will decrease frequency. I will also look into diluting it a bit. Appreciate it!
Maybe you should get 0 nic juice and mix it if you want to vape that much at least cut the nic in half
I get that when I use 6mg but I can vape 3mg all day it seems like. You will get used to it eventually.
10ml of 3mg/ml only works out to 30mg of nicotine.
That's not high.
I suspect dehydration.
Vaping dehydrates;
especially PG
Might not hurt to have a second set up with a "wimpier" atty to vape along with it. If I vaped my Gus Estia or Cthulhu all.day, I would be nic sick, too.
On one flavor I order, I double the flavor shots and nic with higher pg, and then cut it by half with vg... Doubles my order and tastes great. Totally worth experimenting with.
It's the bodies reaction to PG, dry everything out. It's not an immediate loss of hydration, but over time and frequent vaping you can start to lack a bit of hydration.
I'm guessing you weren't much of a smoker, i don't know !.
Although i only ever smoked 30 cigarettes a day.
Up until recently i was vaping 36mg in a Subtank Mini, Kayfun V4, Russian 91%.
Now, now i'm vaping with 9mg on a IPV 4 using a Goliath. Also using a Sigelei 100 watt plus with a Billow V2. I actually think i'm doing the sensible thing by reducing my Nicotine to 9mg. Christ, i used to vape 45mg. I'm now thinking i should reduce my nicotine even more. Maybe take it down to 4.5mg. Makes sense, my nicotine base will double in volume.
I just thought my afternoon naps were age related, i'm 46.
Have to admit though, i did used to hit the not so legal cigarettes pretty hard and my nicotine level kind of replaces that so the nicotine side effects are welcome, apart from the nausia, though i don't really get that now with 9mg.
I think the fundamental mistake i made was that when i first started vaping i was using cig-a-likes, which incidentally don't really deliver very well, with 45mg nicotine to make up for the poor performance. And ever since then i didn't think to reduce my nicotine, for about a year, then moved down to 36mg, then 24mg with Subtank Minis until i started using High Powered box mods. And the idea behind that was knowing i would be vaping with much bigger clouds then the nicotine would have to be reduced. All this, from the beginning, was all based on the principle that if i used a lot of nicotine i wouldn't feel the need to smoke tobacco, and it did work !. I don't smoke anything anymore !.
So, obviously, There isn't a single person in this forum that would recommend doing what i did, the opposite in fact, but it was the one thing that stopped me from smoking.
I see it as something similar to what might happen if someone was using a medication for a serious disease or virus. You get side effects right !.
So i'm thinking that trying to shake off a potential lifetime of bad health leading to death caused by smoking by using higher then recommended levels of nicotine is probably the only cure for people that cannot escape tobacco addiction. And maybe, i'm afraid to say it but will anyway, looking at a smoking habit in the same way as an illness, for me, the best way is to suffer or experience the side effects of the "medication". And even though no one would advise anyone to use higher than recommended levels of nicotine it is probably the only way for some people, who are irretrievably addicted to smoking, to stop the habit that is actually going to kill them.
If for example a person suffered from cancer, and to reduce the symptoms they have to go through Chemotherapy, then they'd have to endure the side effects that come with that. Maybe not a good example, and probably an extreme example, but none the less illustrates my point.
There are probably hundreds if not thousands of members and guests who visit ECF who vape daily but still smoke and probably advise other visitors not to exceed the recommended levels of nicotine. And maybe they wonder why they still smoke and put it down to peer pressure or social constrains, when really they are just afraid of experiencing the side effects of the cure to stop smoking.
Others, who have managed to stop smoking through vaping combined with will power wouldn't recommend high levels of nicotine either, but probably only do so because they are afraid of any kind of backlash that comes with giving such bad advice.
The inconvenient truth is that high levels of nicotine will prevent a user from smoking tobacco, but not without side effects !. If you are prepared to experience the side effects that come with using high levels of nicotine you will also benefit from the relief of not actually feeling the need to smoke tobacco. To put it simply, you won't want a cigarette.
So those that see smoking as something that they can't stop doing, for whatever reason, i'd recommend high levels of nicotine. Those lucky enough to be able to stop smoking through will power alone i'd say "why bother vaping at all".
