I got it the first time I tried a "real" PV with juice rather than a Blu. Haven't had it since. I think I ?over vaped? since I was used to inhaling so hard with the Blu just to get vapor. I followed it up by coughing like a TB patient. Very classy. The very polite vendor I was talking to resisted laughing only by facing the wall for about 5 minutes. 
No evidence at all that I had spent the past 20 years sucking on a cigarette.

For the most part, the typical head rush you would get from cigarettes is usually caused by a lack of oxygen to the brain because of the smoke.
No smoke, plus a different delivery system means for the most part no possible head rush in the normal sense.
People get different sensations from different things however, so for some people it may be possible.
I vape 24mg nicotine by dripping. Every now and then I get a bit of a head rush. I wish it were more

From my experience only, not a head rush per se, but too high a nicotine will make you feel a bit lightheaded. Unfortunately - or fortunately so you don't OD - you will probably start getting a nasty headache at which point your body's telling you to back off for a bit, and then go with a lower nic level
Agree 100% The head rush you get while smoking is the lack of oxygen.
Like Hula said, a nic will get you lightheaded to a degree and will most likely be followed by a headache.
Completely agree with the lightheaded thing with high nicotine juices. Mine are usually followed by a slight headache until I drink a little water or something.
To me the head rush I would get from cigarettes(mostly the first one of the day) was more like almost feeling tipsy though. It would only last a few seconds, but that is the way it felt to me. I don't miss it though, especially since I know what caused it.

I was getting a nice head rush from the blu 18 mg cartos when I first started, but with my current 12 mg juices, sadly I don't.
I got it recently when I switched from carto tank setup to a z-atty rebuildable atomizer. The nic delivery is a lot more efficient so figured out quick I can't chain vape like I could from the cartos. I'm going to have to reduce the nic content in my juice actually when this is gone.
I usually get one if I take a nice big drag first thing in the morning or after work.
There are breathing techniques that will get you a head rush. Not only that but the light at the end of the tunnel and it's free
i guess everyone is diff but just what do any of you actually enjoy about a head rush. me personally i never enjoied them.
I noticed this with a Cobra and only a 6 mil juice. The nic delivery is incredible with a genesis atty. 12 mil probably would have made me sick.
I just googled the price on that and... oh my... but kudos if it works that well... must be worth it.
Great to read these experiences. But was hoping someone would describe how it feels.. Cigarettes give you a headrush yes but also that "punch" in your lungs? Has anyone experienced that from vaping?
The "head rush" effect from smoking a cigarette is NOT related to smoke, but rather is a direct effect of nicotine absorption. There are numerous double blind placebo-controlled laboratory studies that consistently find a dose-related nicotine head-rush effect from nicotine delivered via intravenous, nasal or oral delivery.

So following on from that, the common lack of a head rush effect from vaping, is most likely because most ecigs do not deliver nicotine at a speed or dose that compares to a cigarette or snuff. Having said that, we now have one published study showing that SOME experienced vapors, using fairly advanced ecigs, CAN obtain a boost in blood nicotine concentration of around 10 ng/ml within 5-10 minutes, which is in a similar ball-park to a cigarette, and enough to give a head rush from the first vape of the day, before acute tolerance to nicotine effects builds up throughout the day.
