Day 2 :))

[PaulaLynn]

K, so I'm onto day 2 now, no analogues what so ever. Yay me! No desire either, thats a great thing. As stated yesterday, I am still taking my smoke breaks as before and still hanging in the smoking area, just hauling on my e-cig instead of an analogue and I don't even care about the analogues burning around me, really its not different for me, a hit is a hit is a hit no matter how I'm getting it as long as its being inhaled.

What I'm experiencing: 24 mg is WAY TOO MUCH NIC for me, WAY TOO MUCH. I feel like SH**! Dizzy, headachey and nausious. I have attributed this to too much nic as I switched to my 0 nic cart this morn and all my symptoms went away until I switched back to my 24 mg this aft. Now, Sh*** feeling once again. I am getting my 18's today (crossing fingers) so hopefully that will be just right and I will start to feel better.

However, I will honestly take the nausia, dizzyness and headaches over tobacco any day of the week. The symptoms surely will subside. Surely.

Good job! Im on day 6 currently ! I had 24 mg liquid to, same symptoms. I switched to 18 and now all is fine. I also found the 24mg burned the crap out of my throat!

I think the 18's will work very well for you Good luck and don't look back

Congrats Paula! I was the same way as far as the desire to have a cig, I didn't crave even when around others smoking. I have since got to where I don't want to be around it because it stinks to me now.

Try 11mg,but less nicotine will produce less throat hit. OD happens to a lot of people at the beginning.I my self tend to vape almost twice as match as i was smoking so just experiment and find nicotine mg that suits you best and good luck.

A technique that has worked for me is to vape lower strength most of the time, but keep some stronger stuff around for when the "Cravings" hit. I need a lot more NIC in the morning with my coffee to feel satisfied than I do most of the rest of the day. Good luck and congratulations on your first couple of days. Every Journey begins with the first few steps. In time your body will let you know what nicotine level is right for you. I have been off the stinkies since Thanksgiving and I feel great. And my wife "loves" that I don't reek of smoke and stale tobacco.

Paula, some of those symptoms may not be all "nicotine" related.
There are hundreds of chemicals that you are "no longer" ingesting by quitting analogs.
Your body/brain has built up some dependence on those, so completely abstaining from analogs, and getting nicotine through vaping, is only subbing the NIC, not the rest of the drugs/chemicals Big Tobacco loads up into their analogs.

Try drinking lots of fluids over the next few days to flush your system...

oh no worries on the water intake LOL. I have a HUGE jug (the walmart kind) at my desk at work, holds a straight 8 a day, yesterday I was SOOOO THIRSTY I filled it up and drank it all! 3 times! LOL

I had the same headaches and dizziness, lowered the nic and all is good!

Great job Paula - hang in there - sounds like you won't have any problems at all.
Just the opposite for me however, I had to go up to 36 and higher - hopefully I can bump than down as time goes by !!

Congrats! And yes, those side effects are from smoking cessation and vaping, all will be well by weeks end
