Dizziness After Vaping

[DrCIH]

Hay there,
I'm new to this forum. I started vaping 3 weeks ago. I'm a non smoker and use 0 mg liquid with coconut flavour. I like smoking flavoured shisha and wanted to try something without the nicotine in it, cos I'm afraid of the addiction. I experience symptoms like lightheadiness and dizziness discribed in other threads in this forum. They are not unpleasant but are unwanted. Not like nausia or pain. None of that.

They are there only if I vape for more than 5 minutes. Like going to a restaurant and staying there the whole evening vaping half a 900mAh battery.
The feeling comes on the next morning generally. You feel tired and lightheaded, out of body. Like alcohol withdow but without the headache.
Can you tell me what can I do and explain the reason for this. Should I stop vaping?

Best regards.

Hi DrCIH and welcome to ECF

I have never heard of the symptoms you describe the day after vaping, so I have no idea what is causing it. I could guess at possible reasons, like an allergic reaction to something in the liquid, but I would only be guessing.

If this were happening to me, I would probably try vaping a different liquid, bought from a different supplier and with different flavorings in it. I would certainly not push it by vaping so much at the same time. If this didn't clear it up and I really wanted to continue vaping sometimes to keep off the shisha, I would work with a doctor to try to figure it out.

Not much help I'm afraid, but it's all I've got. Good luck with it !!

Most likely you're getting dehydrated. Both pg and vg suck moisture out of you, so increase your water intake.

to ecf DrCIH.Sorry you are having these problems. I have read a lot of posts here and I have never read of someone having these symptoms. This did not happen until you started vaping? Have you ever had vertigo? Inner ear problems? So many thing it could be. Hope someone here knows exactly what you are talking about and can help you. I just can't see how it is related to vaping. Maybe try a different juice. Good luck to you and let us know what you find out or what ends up helping you. Sorry I wasn't much help.

I agree with the others...
Could be an allergy or dehydration.

Drink lots of water/fluids while vaping and see if that does the trick if not - find out what is causing the problem.
Maybe see your doctor and ask him/her ~ they may end up doing the allergy panel testing.

You may just be one of the few that will not be able to vape because of a simple allergy,

Good Luck

I've found that if I don't drink enough water while vaping I wake up in the morning with my mouth and sinuses so dry its almost painful.

I use zero mg also and have the same feelings but mine start much sooner after vaping. I have narrowed it down to pg in my liquids. If I stay with 100vg including no pg flavorings it goes away. I also get dizzy not breathing enough when I chain vape. Vapor is not air and after quitting smoking five years ago and cutting way down on vaping in the last two years my body and brain really like oxygen. Drink plenty of water too. Being dehydrated gives me headaches and shortness of breath along with cotton mouth and thick saliva which make it even harder to breath and more dizzy.

Welcome. I must learn what a "shisha" is (time for Google), must be similar in origin to the hookah. Sounds like a non-smoker getting a buzz from nicotine but you say it is zero nic. Perhaps there is nicotine, maybe a small amount, in there, despite what the packaging says. However, if this were true you would generally feel it right away rather than the next morning. Have you tried flavors other than coconut or a different brand perhaps? As folks have mentioned could be an allergic reaction to the flavorings or something else in there. Avoid chain vaping or continually puffing on it. Take a few puffs, set it down for a few minutes, take another couple of drags, set it down. Just like a smoker would who is doing something else while smoking. Good luck to you.

Hmm....this happens to me along with drowsiness; however only when I was vaping higher nic levels. And the effect was almost immediate, I've never had any next day issues.

Thank you all for your replies. I too have notised dehidration. I'll try to drink more water. Sometimes when I vape, I need a lot ot water. I haven't been vaping for 4-5 days now and feel a little groggy too. Maybe it's lack of vitamins, cos its winter . I'll buy vitamins and try vaping again.

Arnie H, yes shisha is hookah .

Best regards .

My advice:

- If you are otherwise healthy, stop vaping.

- If not, go see your doctor.
