Dizzy

[jgatt]

By the end of yesterday I really felt quite dizzy and headache. I was vaping what I felt to be like a lot because I felt like it was more often then I was smoking, but less drags at a time. Anyway, Not sure if I wasn't getting enough nicotine or too much?! Although I woke up feeling dizzy too so I am thinking it is partial withdrawal? I was a Pack a day of ultra lights and am on 10 mg's right now. TIA for any thoughts

How often are you vaping throughout the day?

 

[jgatt]

I started yesterday about 1:00 and I felt like I vaped 20 times? with about two or three drags a time.

If you just quit smoking... odds are you are experiencing normal withdrawal symptoms from smoking. It can take a few days to a couple of weeks for your body to adjust to the lack of carbon monoxide and increase in oxygen in your bloodstream.

It would help to know what strength of e-juice you are using... if the dizziness/headache occurs mostly when vaping you should reduce the nicotine level you are using.

Thanks for that info I am using 10 (is it mg's?)

What are you vaping with?

I normally use 12mg but with the Atlantis it is far too much nicotine... I am dropping to 6 mg as soon as I can get back on land.

 

[ckquatt]

it might be to much nic for you. Try a little 6 mg or even 3mg and see if that helps. Vaping "to much" is a personal preference. I vape between 3-5 mls a day. Some do more and some do less. It's up to you, but it sounds like for how often you vape 10mg maybe to much nic.

I notice that I vape different nic levels. In the evening, in front of the TV, I vape lower because it is in front of me. But, on the run and being busy, I use higher.

I think many went through what you are experiencing, me included. At first I just had my APV nearby. I got a feel for my needs. Also, there is some withdrawal going on. the tobacco companies put a lot of bad stuff in cigs. My body had to go through some changes; pretty quick though.

Thats nicotine OverDose... you don't need 2 vape nearly as much as you had 2 smoke... If you like 1 vape a lot fill a tank with zero or 3mg for most of the day

I'm guessing you've got a system with a tight draw so you're having to suck hard and the pressure is getting to your sinus.

I agree. Sounds like what I call vape out. Where you actually vape yourself. I have done it to the point of almost passing out at first when I first started vapin. Once I figured out the proper nic levels and set up I was fine. A little trial and error my friend. Good luck

Ok, so this might be really stupid of me but after you said that about the mls per day I went and looked at (my tank?) And I have only used .5 mls since yesterday at 1:00 soooo that seems like maybe I'm not vaping enough to not have strong withdrawals?? Sorry if I seem stupid. Trying to figure it all out and quit. There is a piece of me that wants to go to no nic and then I'll know that it is just withdrawals for a while and it'll be over. Trying not to make myself and my family miserable while I quit!

If I understand correctly you awoke feeling dizzy and just started vaping yesterday?

Too much nicotine? When I first started I got that a lot and after dropping my nic level down I felt better. I really chain vaped when I started and so I was constantly hitting too much nic.

Btw the first week was hell for me between the coughing, dizziness, and frustration. Your body is rejecting something new and the vapor looses up some tar in lungs. Don't be surprised if you start coughing up brownish flem... that's okay.

But if you feel really sick a doctors appoint is always a good thing. Just be honest and realize your body is adjusting to something different.

Yes that is correct

Hi Jgatt. Congratulations on making the switch.

I found it difficult to tell the difference between too much and too little nicotine when I started. The symptoms are similar and when you are taking regular sips, you may never know.

What helped me was to stick to the same patterns I had when I was smoking. Vape for 5 to 10 minutes and then put it away for an hour or two. It gave me a chance to feel the difference.

Good luck finding what works for you.

Hi, I starting vaping properly and have up smoking on the 3rd of July and I've only in the last month started to feel myself again.
I was getting headaches, going dizzy, extremely tired, muscle aches, coughing up ..... and all sorts.
Went for blood test, ecg and lung xray and all come back normal although obviously if your concerned consult with your gp, just because I was fine doesn't make it ok.
Just take it easy on the vaping until you get use to it as the biggest problem I found compared to analogs is obviously, being electric, it's doesn't burn down.
I found 8-10 vapes was roughly a analogs worth of intake.
Stay strong and good luck

When I first started vaping I was using 36-38nic level. I would get dizzy once in a while if I took too big of hits right after each other. It's all trial and error to get your body not used to smoking and to start getting used to vaping.

If you have truly only used 0.5ml of 10mg liquid, then you got very little nicotine.
If that's really true, it sure doesn't sound like nicotine overdose.

Not even a never-smoker would overdoes at that rate.
