can you poison yourself with too much vaporing?

I was pretty surprised that 36mg affected me like it did. I smoked 2-3 packs of 'harsh' smokes per day for 25 years. I messed up by making my whole last order of cartos 36mg - dizzy beyond head rushes! I can handle 'em for awhile, then I gotta' switch to something milder. I'm on a mission today to find e-juice or compatible cartos here in the Seattle area.

Bump it down to 24 or 18mg and see how you do.

If you find one let me know, I have been looking as well and still no luck, I am trying to talk one of the smoke shops that are by me into carrying liquid but no luck yet.

Finally found one! Premium Cipar & Pipe at 177th on Aurora in Lynnwood.

Several others had SE/Smoke51/CleanSmoke etc w/ no juice & some had no cartos. I'm amazed someone has marketed all the little mini-marts w/ these but not shown 'em how they work, or they'd carry juice w/ the empty cartos. If better stuff was marketed to whoever supplies mini-marts, I bet e-cigs would be widely used, as most people show positive interest in the idea. Seems like a biz idea for some of you suppliers out there.

I smoked 3+ packs a day so I started with 36mg. Mistake. Because I didn't really smoke that many cigarettes, I burned that many.

With a cigarette, occasionally you puff the whole thing. I usually did when I went outside for a break at work. But most of the time you light it and take a puff or two and put it in your ashtray. You grab it once or twice for additional puffs and maybe get in one more just before it reaches the filter and you stub it out. So you actually only got 6-8 puffs (plus some second hand smoke from being in the same room.) With an electronic cigarette, it only vaporizes the liquid when you inhale it, so you get it all.

In theory you could kill yourself vaping but in practice you are in more danger from mishandling your supplies. That's why you'll see admonitions to make sure you keep your e-liquid properly locked up if you have children or pets.

Isn't Vap something that happens to bad guys in old Batman TV shows?
Along with BAM and zowee!

I find the more nicotine I vape into my body the less of an attention span I have.

Oh look there's a bird .....

Something I find interesting is that If I use a strong eliquid (48mg nicotine) just 2 puffs and I'm buzzing and lightheaded. If I use a weaker one (about 24mg?) I find that I can puff eternally and I don't get the buzzing. I can slowly feel the nicotine affecting me, but it's not the heart-pounding rush like the strong stuff.

I would think that a liquid half as strong as another one would simply take twice as many puffs to feel the buzz, but it doesn't seem that way for me :shrug:

I'll accept "vaporing" over "vapping" any day. I still do not know how
one would "vap", or even what "vap" is.

I agree. Perhaps 'vap' is short for 'vapid' (lacking taste, zest, or flavor). So 'vapping' may mean 'vaping mediocre e-liquid'.

LOL! I'm sticking with the more tradition perversion of 'vapor'

Etymology: Middle English vapour, from Anglo-French vapor, from Latin, steam, vapor
Date: 14th century
1 : diffused matter (as smoke or fog) suspended floating in the air and impairing its transparency
2 a : a substance in the gaseous state as distinguished from the liquid or solid state b : a substance (as gasoline, alcohol, mercury, or benzoin) vaporized for industrial, therapeutic, or military uses; also : a mixture (as the explosive mixture in an internal combustion engine) of such a vapor with air
3 a : something unsubstantial or transitory

haha I asked this two weeks ago had an OD today for the first time. Was back to vaping after two and a half hours. You guys were right, can't poison yourself, can get uneasy, that's all. Now I know.

 

[sweet-c]

Oh man been there done the over vaping thing, not a good feeling

 

[mjones]

Yeah no worries I vaped a whole 30ml of 48mg straight not at once though lol. I find the more you vape it you get use to it. Been vapin 24ml+ for over a year and I'm still alive hahaha.

 

[eNinja]

Don't think it will kill ya, but nicotine does restrict bloodflow, so maybe a good idea to not vap so much before "certain" activities

 

[irishdrummer13]

I've been vaping my brains out with 24 mg juice and I haven't had any problems yet. Vape on...

 

[Shaka]

I haven't had headaches but a few bouts of nausea, which I kind of liked.

You kind of liked nausea?? lol

Hey Viktor. All said here. Your body will warn you when you've had too much.

Don't know my personal threshold yet. I use only 24 mg and sometimes chain vaped the stuff for 5-6 hrs straight while working on some projects w/o symptoms (went thru 3+ fresh batts each session on my pre-eGo 510).
