Can one get sick from eciggs?

I might be paranoid, but I have gotton really sick since I began vaping. It started with allergies to sinus to chest now. Os it possible its my nicstick or did something make me sick. I do hope its not eciggs cause I love them and about to buy a Volt standard starter kit tommorrow.

Sounds like more withdrawals from analogs I had it too, it could last as few a couple days to couple weeks,

But i was getting worried that i was vaping too much, since i can do that inside

If you were a smoker before vaping I would find it hard to think that is what is causing it. Personally I was sick quite often when I smoked cigarettes, but have not gotten sick since switching to Ecigs. Since analogs lower the immune system, but according to a studies PG actually helps prevent illnesses effecting the respiratory system. Many people do report some respiratory issues when quitting analog cigarettes for a short time due to the detoxification process of the body, and the change to the intake of the carcinogens and with drawl. If it is anyway caused by ecigs the only possible thing I could think of is an intolerance to either the PG, VG. or flavorings being used.

Now with ecigs there is a possibility of vaping too much, getting too much nicotine can lead to an awry of problems, most noticeable will be headache and nausea those are earliest symptoms, and we have all done it if it happens, drink some water and give that thing a break

If you suddenly get sick and it gets worse the more you vape and gets better the less you vape - look first and foremost to the usual suspect: Proplyne Glycol. You can usually kinda tell by observing how you felt an hour before vaping and then how you feel after vaping heavily etc. Luckily you can get e-liquids made up of VG only. Try some and see if your symptoms persist. Many like to point to analog withdrawal first rather than admit it's the PG. But the fact remains that PG is quite controversial to the point where vendors have sprung up around supplying e-juice that is PG-free.

There are some good threads about this. Of course, I'm no doctor. This is not medical advice. You know your body better than I do, and if something is wrong, you should see your doctor.

But most people go through unpleasant things when they quit smoking. I had the quit zits for a while. And some people experience flu-like symtoms after quitting (sometimes called the Quitter's Flu).

Here's a good thread.

I can only imagine there is more good stuff in the Health and Safety area of the forum.

I had a headache for 3 days when I quite the analogs. I think I was detoxing off all the toxins my body got used to in 30 years.

It could be a sensitivity to either PG or VG, or simply withdrawal symptoms if you recently started vaping. I just wrote a post about that yesterday oddly enough 7 Smoking Withdrawal Symptoms Blamed on Vaping: eCig 101
