Chain Vaping?

I do not chain vape sober...however when I have been drinking I tend to chain vape a lot. I think its just the thought of inhale/exhaling smoke while I am buzzing from alcohol that makes me want to keep vaping. My friends tell me a lot that I will be chain vaping for atleast 3-10 mins straight, no stopping what so ever. Hahaha. Guess I need some self control...but how can you when the flavors are so tasty!?

I have had nicotine OD though...made me sick to my stomach, a bit nausiated, throat felt really rough. Quit vaping for 3 days. Been controlled vaping since...dont want to feel sick like that ever again.

Now its to a controlled 3-5 puffs every 10-15 mins. Juice lasts longer, battery doesnt feel stressed, overall a great improvement on my vape life.

I think I chain vape. Sometimes. I haven't yet timed how often or how long I vape without putting it down. I haven't yet experienced any side effects that would be indicative of OD, either. But, I know I do hang on to that sucker like it's my best friend EVER! Sunday was the first time out in a social setting since I started vaping not quite a month ago. I definitely got many questions about it. But, I didn't smoke. My husband was off to the side with the group of other smokers and I stayed with the non-smokers, vaping. A lot. LOL

sorry for asking but how do you exhale through your nose without taking it into your lungs?

It takes practice. First I draw the vapor into my mouth then i just exhale out of my nose. Beware this sometimes can cause sneezes and sometimes a slight burning sensation depending on your juice flavor. I think a little goes into your lungs. Practice it is fun! ymmv

I have always inhaled no idea ... they are doing.

I'm a new vapor too, so not sure how helpful this is, but I read elsewhere that you should try to do a shallow inhale. Bring it to the top part of your lungs instead of a deep inhale. I'm still practicing, and not totally there yet....:unsure:

I am four months away from analogs. I chain smoked and now I chain vape in the same way and at the same times that I chain smoked. I switched from 18mg to 12mg at two months and consider it likely that I may lower it further at some point. I am still experimenting with how to draw in the vapor and whether or not to inhale and how to inhale.

Great thread!
 
Guilty! Guilty! Guilty! I am a chain vaper. And for me it has never been about the nicotine. It is sticking the e cig in my mouth like i am smoking. Traded a habit bad for me for a habit not so bad for me. My liquids are 0 to 6mg. How i got to low nicotine is because the higher nicotine made me feel lightheaded, dizzy really and a littl nauseated. Because I chain vape. I chain vape and i'm ok with that.

It's not necessarily a bad thing to chain vape. This is very common for people who use a low nic juice such as myself. More than likely your own body will tell you when you've had enough nicotine. You'll get queasy and/or get a headache if you over nic. If the practice of chain vaping concerns you I would experiment with using a higher level of nicotine. I normally use a 6mg juice and chain vape if I am not paying attention. If I want to vape like I was smoking a cigarette I would switch to a 12 or 18mg. Many people who just quit smoking (1-2 weeks) tend to use 24mg which is supposed to deliver the equivalent of 1 pack a day of cigarettes worth of nicotine.
