Difference between overdose and vaping too much

[egicn]

If you have vaped too much... which is more common, headache/dizziness, or GI symptoms, or both.
I don't mean drank a bottle of straight nicotine, I mean just hitting it a little too much or using more mg than you probably should be.

 

[shatner]

Nausea and possibly a headache.

Racing/pounding heart/hearing heart in your head/high pulse rate are the first and, thus far, only symptoms I get. I don't keep vaping until a headache sets in but have heard that from others. It leaves pretty fast by quitting vaping or dropping nic level to zero for a bit and way faster than overdoing on smokes which has the added symptoms of oxygen deprivation.

I started at 24mg as I was a heavy chain smoker. After 2 to 2 1/2 months I had to cut back to at least 12mg and after 6 months I have cut to 9mg. I also had to cut way back on caffeine. I was vaping 3-4 mil a day. Here are some symptoms I experienced.

1. Anxiety-nervousness-general headless chicken type behavior
2. Sleeplessness
3. Racing heart
4. Lightheadedness
5. Higher blood pressure-Can't be sure as others report lower blood pressure but mine was higher
6. Some nausea
7. After the above fatigue would set in...kind of like a hangover.

Yeh, I'm one that lowered blood pressure vaping... but, anytime you're getting too much nic and/or low saturation oxygen levels from smoking too much, its going to raise bp due to a racing heart either being stimulated too much or trying to pump oxygen faster so you don't pass out from not enough of it. I don't do caffeine in any form but it sounds horrible along with overdoing nic at the same time... wow!

For me, Headache.

Symptoms of vaping too much: cold palms, headache, sleeplessness, dehydration.

An overdose is vaping too much but vaping too much is not always an overdose.

Dehydration

To me, overdose and vaping too much are the same thing. As long as you're not overdosing resulting in headache, nausea or poisoning, the point between vaping and vaping too much is real fuzzy and undefinable. It's not smoking cigarettes that counts.

dry taste in my mouth, tightness in chest, i think tells me i have had enough, and to hydrate. let me just say. hydrating is a royal pain in the ..... things were less complicated when i was a walking, dried up cloud of toxic gas.

 

[jfalbanese]

in all the threads i have read. i have never heard of anyone actually having a toxic reaction to vaping. our bodies regulate how much we want to vape. i can go hours without touching it, and not obsess about the stinkies.

 

[Butters78]

Sensitive breasts and mood swings.

 

[Faylool]

Definitely nausea. I don't get the racing heart I do get hyper though if it's been a long day of vaping more than usual and takes a long while to get sleepy at night! But I get definitely nauseated before I my heart does any racing. Dry mouth too happens with normal vaping so I don't see a difference there.

 

[Plumes.91]

Symptoms of withdrawal are pretty much the same syptoms of OD with nicotine.
So, at least for me, its been tough to know which is which.
I vape 12mg and dont have much a problem chain vaping like I chain smoked.
But then there are days, or rows and rows of days where i have my usual anxiety.
I'm just an anxious person though.

 

[Uncle Sam]

I have not had any experiences that I can attribute to vaping in excess, at least not specifically. I have had headaches, nausea, etc...not sure if they are because of the vaping or something else.

I DO know that when I vape too much (> 3mL/day) for some reason I REALLY want an actual smoke.

 

[John Alexander]

Dehydration

This, for sure. The best accessory for vaping is a bottle of water.

 

[jclifford]

I first experienced nicotine OD the first time I started chewing the gum. 3 or 4 pieces of 4 mg. in an hour period. Very sharp pain right behind my eyeballs. 16 years ago, I still remember the pain. Excessive vaping, I can feel the headache returning and maybe the heart racing a little. It seems as though the nausea is caused by the dehydration. Reading this forum and listening to (and following) the advice seems to correct the problem!

Empty tanks, dead batteries, and a fog in the house.

About a month ago I was just vaping away and I started feeling kinda weak with bad stomach cramps.

I just hit the water a little harder, kicked back on the futon and put down the PV for a while and I was back to normal.

But then again, define normal I think your body will let you know long before you OD though. Mine did.

if youve had too much, you wont find yourself looking to vape or wont be doing it automatically.

in addition to slight headaches, i will actually get a funny taste in the back of my mouth, almost like i can taste the nicotine where if i had gone not vaping for a few hours it wouldnt be there.

as far as nic content, think of it this way. you can vape a lower level longer, or a higher level shorter. you wont get dizzy from one vape of 36 mg, but if you take ten in a row vs ten puffs of 16 mg you will feel the difference.

i vape < 4 ml a day because i vape 24mg, if i reduced my nic content i imagine i would be going a lot harder on it.
