Concerned newbie, questions, etc.

Hey!

Nice to find this forum. Long story short - I haven't smoked a cigarette in years. Tried an e-cig as a joke two weeks ago at a party. The next day I went out and bought njoy and BLU. last week I went to a local vape shop and got an ego twist, artemis and kanger pro 2 tanks, tons of juices...

So here I am - a nonsmoker - suddenly with a vaping habit. Am I stupid?

I vape all morning, in the car - and I work full time in an ad agency office. I leave the office 4 times a day or more to hit an e-cig. At home I vape all night. While gaming, reading, in bed!

I have slight congestion.. phlegm which is unusual.

I also started having splitting headaches every morning for the last week. I assume this is from nicotine withdrawal while I'm sleeping?

I feel guilty and a little stupid for starting, but I've got a super addictive personality and am concerned for my health and mental well being...

Any thoughts?

what strength e-liquid did you get? at your lack of nicotine addiction, you should probably be using either 0 nic or the next lowest you can get.
Best guess on the congestion and headaches, drink more water. the nicotine liquid (or nic free liquid) draws water out of you, so they can (will) dehydrate you...
SO! drink more water, use less nicotine, I don't think you're stupid. Good luck!

Yep. Despite feeling fine, the vapors will dehydrate you fast. The headache after vaping all night is definitely nicotine OD. I had that problem when I went to a mechanical/rebuildable combo when running at 4mg nicotine, I had to drop it to 1 just to get the same effect. I think next bottle I get will be 0.

I'm running at 6% nic juice - using Gummy Blood, Green Sour Apple, Turkish tobacco, and Lemonheads.
Where can I get 1,2,3%?

Is it enjoyable at that level?

Well, since you put it on the the table, then Yes your stupid for starting an addictive habit like vaping nicotine when you didnt have one before. You might want to either quit or start vaping juice with no Nicotine in it. You gotta love the Antz.... they just keep at it.

i chain vape all day long at 2.5 mg per ml when kicked the real cigs i was chain vaping at 6-9 mg per ml. (i was a chain smoker before i found e cigs)

i mix my own but look around some places offer low MG fluids

 

[Ozzeh]

I had a whole slew of symptoms when I quit smoking and started vaping. But with not having smoked in a long time that all sounds weird. One thing that most people forget is that vaping can dehydrate you pretty bad. Drink lots of water and cut back on the nic level and you should be fine.

6% ?!?!? thats 60 MG per ml most hard core vapers never get above 3.6% or (36 mg per ml)

 

[Topwater Elvis]

Yes, I have thoughts.
Most folks weigh pro's - con's before making a decision to do something.

So here I am - a nonsmoker - suddenly with a vaping habit. Am I stupid?

In my opinion, yes.

Most if not all juices are offered in 0 nic for a reason, if you're a non smoker use them.
Your headaches could be from dehydration, drink lots of water then drink some more, pg & vg both will dry you out.
Just because you have headaches in the morning doesn't mean they're caused by nicotine withdraw.

If you have any concerns for your health and mental well being two weeks is two weeks too long to vape.

antz much.

Must be wrong - I was told it came in 0, 6, 12, 18, 24, 36 --- so my 6 must be .6

regarding antz, what forum slang am I missing here?

First off. Welcome to the family. ECF is a wonderful place. I don't understand why people vape when they don't smoke.
But I personally would rather see anyone vape instead of burning something. Your fine. Keep at it.

Why are you even vaping? I don't understand why you want to introduce nicotine in to your body for no reason.
If you continue to vape, I suggest you use 0 nic juice.
If your concerned about your health & well being, then stop.
That's my
