Day 2 - What am I doing wrong?

[sbucciarel]

I ordered a Joye 510 and a 2-piece ecigarette. They both arrived Friday. The first day they arrived, I tried them both out to see which I preferred. I am currently a heavy smoker ... 2 pks a day ... at times in my life, more than that. I really want this to work.

First day, I was excited and testing out both models. I began to feel ill and went to bed. Had chills half the night and felt much like I had the flu. Next morning, felt a bit better. Definitely not the flu? Too much testing? I don't know.

Day two, moderated my use. No more chills and headache, but I can't seem to take a draw without choking and coughing. I don't cough when I smoke. So how exactly do you get around this? Do you inhale the vapor into your lungs or just keep it in your mouth and then exhale? Also dealing with slight nausea.

Any input is welcome.

Possible allergic reaction to PG. Sadly it's not that uncommon.

You may have also overdone it with nicotine... as different people respond differently to that. Especially if you accidentally ingested some liquid.

Some people do have an allergic reaction to PG. May want to check out the health section and see if these are some possible symtems. If so, I would suggest trying some VG liquid before proceeding.

Here's the sub forum for health issues Health, Safety and E-Smoking - e-cigarette-forum.com • The place for electronic cigarette reviews, news and chat it could have been from either the PG or too much nicotine or neither, it will just take some time to sort it out. I smoked 35-40 Marlboro light 100's and I'm finding that about 50 total mg keeps the nicotine desire at bay (i.e. 4 ml of 12 mg juice or 3 ml of 18 mg juice, 2 ml of 24 mg).

Sorry to hear of your problems!! I take the vapor into my mouth...then into my lungs. That is the way I smoked. I can't do a direct inhale...it makes me cough too!!
Hope this helps!!

Looks pretty dramatic Crowdog. You better call an ambulance.

 

[sherid]

Crowdog, if you are in distress, why are you on your computer typing a note to strangers? Go to a neighbor's and call for help. No one here even knows where you live to call 911. What makes you believe it is a reaction to vaping?

 

[Saiyge]

I'll echo what Kase just said.
Get yourself to the ER CrowDog

Some of your symptoms sound like nicotine withdrawal, but it sounds like you might have a PG allergy. I smoked Old Golds (read: harsh), and while I get a throat hit, PVs do not make me cough unless I inhale wrong like when water goes down the wrong pipe. Going from 2 packs a day to vapor should reduce your nicotine intake unless you were drinking the liquid. I'd say your symptoms are from withdrawal and allergies. Educated guess...

Som reason, seems to be calming a little
grabbed an analog, huge glass water, laptop, cell ND IN BED UNDER COVER WITH HEATING PAD

strange-my first vap was easy going for 20 min. nothing. while surfi ng, wanted to play saf an switched to analog. was 2-3 hrs later this hit me?

 

[kase]

2-3 hours later doesn't really seem possible, the effects are pretty instant in my experience. I dont think there's a 'creeper vape' that can hit you 3 hours later. I still say you should seek medical attention.

 

[Saiyge]

Crow - Sounds like you are having an anxiety attack but you could be having an allergic reaction. You really should seek medical attention if you are having a reaction like this.

Could be nicotine poisoning, could be a reaction to something in your juice or the cart. Could be something completely unrelated to e-cigs at all. We arent medical professionals though. Seeing the difference in your previous posts to these, I'd say you are having a rough time of it and should seek help.

I see the ECF drama is still alive & well here

I have to agree with Apple. It sounds like the OP is going through some nic withdrawals. I went through many symptoms when I first got the ecig because I wanted to drop the analogs too quick (for my system). I have been vaping for a year now, but it did take a month or two before i was completely off the analogs. Don't pressure yourself to much to quit all at once. Come off the analogs slowly if you need to. I was a two pack a day smoker also.

Also, for some reason when i first started vaping the ecigs would make me cough if I exhaled to fast. I started letting the vapor roll out of my mouth and that stopped the coughing for me (worth a try). Once i got used to vaping it was no longer a problem.

 

[rjp44]

It could even be the flu. Best to have yourself checked especially if temp goes over 101

You know ... I think you're right about the nicotine withdrawal. After first night of chills and headache, that's gone away and I feel alright. Just don't have the inhaling down pat. Vapor hits my throat and I cough. Can't seem to get it past my throat. Do most of you draw it into your lungs or just to the throat and exhale?

When I first started vaping, I got sick. Felt kind of like a mild flu. I wondered then if there was a connection to the e-cigs, but just figured it was coincidence.

Since then, I've read posts by others who have experienced the exact same thing. That leads me to believe that there is some sort of connection between my getting sick, and either quitting smoking, or beginning vaping.

Either way, it passed within a day or so, and I've felt a whole lot better than I have in a very long time ever since.

I just thought it was a little strange.


What mg nicontine are you vaping? Heart racing? Sounds like you are taking in too much nicotine. Cut it in half. I had to when I started.

I wonder if the poster is alive still.
