If you put an analog under a black light you can see glowing blotches of spray on it. That spray is ammonia, it is used to prevent an accurate reading of how much nicotine is in the cigarette, so these people saying full flavor, is XX, mild is XX lights is xx amount of nicotine don't actually know, in fact no one knows how much is really in a analog except the scum bags who make it.

Some of the toxins in analogs can help cover up symptoms of other illnesses, so yeah seeing a doctor isn't a bad idea at all.
x2 on the hydrating. Those symtoms can be signs of mild dehydration. It's why I keep a bottle of water with me all the times.
Nicotine withdrawl/overdose is also a possibility, but it's usually more gradual. While possible, I'd have to say it's not likely since the onset of symtoms was sudden.
I just returned from the Dr.'s office for a flu shot. I informed her about the excessive dizziness and explained the situation. She that first, increased oxygen will cause this for a short time subsequent to quitting analogs. Second, she said that dizziness is a very common symptom of nicotine withdraw. A nic od, she said, would only produce dizziness for a short period of time. Mine is constant so her recommendation: use the e cig more and gradually back it down. She said it should be gone within two weeks.
I feel better today as I am trying to vape a little more. It is, however, a fine line between vaping too little and too much. Also hydrating seems to help so thanks for the advice on that front.
This truly has wreaked havoc in my everyday life so hopefully if others are experiencing the same thing this thread will help. Thanks again for all the advice.

I too wake up dizzy in the morning and have cut my strength down from 26mg to 6mg, actually today I am starting on 6mg, it is ok. I also vape through a passthrough from my laptop, and sometimes you don't realise how much nicotine you are taking in, the passthrough takes more nicotine as it is constantly running on full power. I have had loss of balance when i get out of bed and ended up holding onto walls to walk. I have had every test and scan I can think of and they can find nothing wrong with me, so it links into when I started vaping. My body obviously can't tolerate high nicotine levels and so will try and cut right down. Yes drinking water is a must, I was always thirsty but now I have worked out it may be the ecigs causing this loss of balance I am now doing something about it. I enjoy vaping, think it's the best thing ever invented but it has to be done safely and responsibly. I will let you know if my reduction of nicotine helps with these symptoms, having read a lot of posts it seems to be the same sort of symptoms that I have that others are getting.
I genuinely hope you feel better!
My long and depressing story (not vape related) is briefly summed up as follows.
I smoked 3ppd, drank coffee with tons of sugar and was generally unhealthy. Went to DR, he screamed and told me I was dead in 5 years max. I was 25 at the time.
I quit everything and was fine for 3 weeks. Then I found myself in an MRI machine to see if I had had a stroke. That is how bad the headache, dizziness, disorientation, lack of coordination etc were. After stroke was eliminated as a possibility, we did blood work. My symptoms were so bad and my condition so acute, we all missed that my sugar level had dropped to 28 from 100. Yes 28.
I was one of those "send him home" type cases and they did. My parents and I tried to do everything healthy. When my left leg started working intermittently, it was back to the MRI .............
This dragged on..... about 4-5 months later I decided I had had enough. It was me or it! I hopped out (literally) and bought cigarettes and a huge cappuccino into which I dumped about 7 packets of sugar. 1 week of this and I was feeling fine.
Then, I started eliminating things gradually. First the cholesterol with exercise and prescribed pills, then the food, the sugar etc. Coffee was now half-caf and greatly reduced .... you get the idea. This process took about 2 years.
The only thing I couldn't get rid of was the smoking. 3ppd standard. This is why I am here and the rest is history.
Seems the body has a "thing" with sudden changes sometimes. For me it was all about transitioning and not shocking.
Now, otherwise healthy, and mind fully and completely made up about that smoking business, I am smoke free.
This is NOT medical advice. This is my experience. Go back to the DR and re-check every little detail.

I'm very glad you went to the doctor and she gave her opinion. I suspected that quitting smoking was the culprit because I continued to have vertigo, anxiety and dizziness for a month after trying to quit analogs cold turkey. It did not happen to with me when I began vaping though. Of course, my PV was pretty much glued to face morning to night.
Yes, you definately need more water, I've been quilty of not staying on top of the water intake and have come down with some killer dry skin as well as other unpleasant side effects.
One thing to remember also is that analogs also affect your concentration and it is not unusual to have decreased concentration when quitting analogs. I have had an absolute bear of a time trying to deal with the concentration issues.
Here's a thread you may want to read.
