Hi. No, never have had that. However, I have heard that some people have allergies to the PG part of many e-juices that could have swollen your sinuses, causing a condition as you describe. Good luck and have fun!
Yanu... I've only been vaping for about seven months now. Some days extremely heavy and I have never experienced clogged ears.
Below is from a post in 2010 FWIW
Taken from Mister's post in the ECF Library:
The symptoms of nicotine overdose are clearer indicators of what is happening in your body than the symptoms of withdrawal. This is because nicotine overdose has been studied a fair bit. Nicotine withdrawal has not been studied nearly as much. What has been studied a lot is cigarette withdrawal which is a different thing - it includes no longer inhaling a few thousand chemicals, not just nicotine.
Symptoms of nicotine overdose:
confusion5,6,7,8
racing pulse, palpitations6,7,8
salivation, drooling6,7,8
agitation6,7,8
physical fatigue, weakness6,7,8
muscle twitching5,8
vomiting5,6,7,8
hearing or vision problems5
Just remembered it because like I said, the same thing happened to me the other day after I had been chain vaping. It could also be totally unrelate to vaping. Just monitor your nicotine consumption and see if it happens again. If it keeps up, go see a doctor.
Thanks guys,
I have actually started mixing my favorite juices with 0 nic ones last week. I'm now vaping at around 0.5/0.6
If it was an overdose it would have happened before i reckon...
Anyway, thanks for the inputs. Let's see if somebody else had the same problem

That used to happen to me and it was the pg in my juice I moved to full vg juices or very little pg. And the nic over dose all that is ever happened to me was a headache. How this helps
For me it's too much vg. 20-30% is ok. I can handle 50% if I don't vape it too much. More than that, I avoid. I mostly DIY and do 80PG/20VG so it's not really an issue anymore.
So, it happened to you as well...I don't know really... About a month ago I started not sleeping well, very agitated and decided to have less nicotine in my liquids and now this... Starting to think is not that healthy really...
At the moment my liquids are 75% pg 25% vg. I have been using these type of ecigs since august, i was using the greensmoke before. Never had ear problems
Sorry to thread jack but thank you for making me see i really need to cut down my nic content

How are you vaping? What's your inhalation technique? Are you swallowing or coughing at all? Sounds like a pressure equalization problem. Have you tried plugging your nose and blowing to equalize your inner ear like a scuba diver would? What kind of gear and juice are you using? Does it have a tight draw?
When I was a young pup and used to smoke from a water infused pipe, sometimes I'd take to big of a draw that would cause convulsions in my lungs, And if I didn't let it out, it would plug my ears on occasion.

Hi, thanks for that
Im using ego c twist batteries. I have been changing a good few tanks recently as I didn't really find mine yet
The last winner has been the kanger t3s clearomizer.I'm using e liquids from "the best shop" here in Ireland. There is no really a make on them, the owner says that they are made in Germany. I have been liking a lot their cheesecake flavour so Monday I bought two 50 ml bottles, 11% and 0% nicotine and mixing them to give me a 5.5%. Monday i also got my second t3s and Monday is also when the problem started now that I'm thinking about it.
I did find very hard to pull since then, you could be right there. Maybe is the t3s that causes it?!?
Yeah, maybe is something not related to vaping... But I just have a feeling that in my case has something to do with it
I have a lot more moisture in my nose, but no dripping. That should do me well in the coldest winter months when my nose tends to get very dry. I think there should be more moisture in my sinuses, too. I take an anti-histamine when that happens. I really don't get a clogged sensation, though.
When I first started vaping, I had problems with dizziness, nausea, and a gut-ache. I went to the doctor, and since I already have a hearing loss, and nicotine is a toxin for the nerves in the ear, affecting balance as well as hearing, he recommended that I immediately go no nic. I did, and the withdrawal was better than the symptoms and the threat of faster hearing loss.
So, for most people, just treat it as a seasonal allergy. I doubt it would be an ear infection, but you would know soon, with obvious pain.

I have experienced hearing problems. Last night I am certain that I over did it and there was a moment of strange hearing/ear problems. For me it is mostly tinnitus that is occurring, but some other effects to the inner ear must be happening to me as well. Muscles in and around the eustachian tubes? not sure yet, but it seems there is some connection.

I think more people ought to try using the patch with 0mg Nic. Too many concerns about heavy vaping. I feel good knowing I can't over-nic myself.
Nic is also a very short-acting muscle relaxant, with a major rebound effect. So you can expect to have some problems with that. Again, switch to a nice steady slow intake.

I'm going to sound like a crazy person here.... but if you push your index finger against your forehead at the top of your nose between your eyebrows (above your nose) while pressing your tongue to the roof of your mouth your sinuses will begin to drain. Not so much your ears at first, but if you do it for a few minutes and pull on your earlobes (down and out) they'll pop and start draining.
On another note... I was getting crazy congested when I started (ears and sinuses) and thought it was my body recovering from quitting smoking. It only ended up getting worse and I would get queezy. Then my tongue and cheeks started getting tender (like cold sores sort of)and I was short of breath and jittery. So I dropped my nic level and it got a little better but I was still congested and short of breath. My mouth was still "tender" too. Then I read about the pg allergy. Turns out I'm somewhat allergic. Anything more than %10 makes me sick. After switching I got better in a few days and felt great. Feeling like your head is always under water sucks.
If you're sensitive to a lot of beauty products you could have a pg allergy (or just a sensitivity) too. I have always needed to use mostly natural products because of sensitivites to chemicals. Once I looked up what pg was chemically it all made sense.
Propylene glycol is used in beauty products to help your body (hair, skin, whatever) retain moisture. It only makes sense that those sensitive to it would become congested.

I thought all the patch did was deliver nicotine. What's the point of a 0mg patch?
