Ear-ringing

[Bernard Marx]

Someone mentioned in another post that you know you are OD'ing on nic when your ears start ringing.

Mine just started.

I had changed my consumption up to 12mg from 6mg but have not chain-vaped until this evening.

Geez, you have to watch out for everything with this.

I bet I will have trouble falling asleep too.

The higher nic meant no dry mouth or teeth problems and very little liquid used.

I should have lowered the nic when I decided to party.

Lesson learned! Trial and error is a beautiful thing........... mostly!

 

[Bernard Marx]

This really is all trial and error. Whenever I think I have got it figured out something goes haywire.

Best to reduce or stop vaping a few hours before bed time.

Been there!

 

[Bernard Marx]

Yeah, you'd think I would know that. Probably other people have less of a problem than I do.

Gad Zooks!

Maybe I'll rebuild my kitchen tonight.

I use 1mg nic and my ears are always ringing, though I spent a year shooting machine guns and blowing stuff up in Afghanistan.

I did not know that, sometimes my ears ring worse at night. I vape pretty steady from 8 to midnight. I always have ringing, but, now I know why it may get worse. I vape 18mg/ml all the time. I have learned to make my thoughts louder than the ringing, so I guess, that is good.

That'll do it for sure. You will never get that high frequency back. Kids will sound like ducks to you forever. I'm there too. I just don't try to talk to them anymore.

The good thing is that a gentle white-noise will pretty well completely insulate you from everything.

Not relaxing though.

I just heard this, I don't know if it is true.

Hmm. Never heard this at all.

For me the first sign of Nic OD is.............................

 

[Bernard Marx]

Well that is really overdosing!

What causes teeth sensitivity with vaping? I have known a few vapers to have that issue after they started vaping. I noticed you mentioned it above so i was curious.

 

[Bernard Marx]

Sensitivity: I found that the wrong liquid can cause this (I think). I had a problem with a water-based 50/50 espresso and it went away with a 70/30pg/vg menthol (alcohol base) once I had changed to higher nic and menthol flavoring.

Basically I was vaping only half of the liquid from before but still getting the same kick.

Possibly/superstitiously I now think that higher nic=less vapor=less problem.

Less flavor=less problem.

But it's full of surprises.

I have been nic sick many times. My ears never rang. Just felt dizzy and a quick lay down for 15 minutes and I was fine. Although I vaped a 30ml 24mg of Rootbeer in a day and the next day I collapsed on the hockey rink. Four months of tests and the doctor told me absolutely nothing wrong. In fact the doctor told me "I don't know what you are doing differently as you have never been this healthy". Told him I quit smoking a year ago and started vaping. He said " you keep vaping then".

 

[Bernard Marx]

Well maybe collapsing was a bit of a warning bell.

On a less dramatic note I had to drive over to my new doctor an hour away across town. I hadn't been for five years and was feeling pretty smug about my health. He insisted on a blood pressure thing and wouldn't you know I was 20 point higher than I expected.

I had vaped all the way across town!

Try to convince him now that really I am healthy.

I was hearing drinking a lot of water while vaping helps too. Has anyone else heard this or is it just a myth?

I got mild tinnitus when I started vaping. I got used to it.

 

[Bernard Marx]

If you have dry mouth. (Squeaking sticky teeth - feels like you just ate a handful of sand) cut down on the amount of vapor you are producing. Use less VG and a smaller device. Don't swirl in your mouth-nose so much; change liquids. Try menthol. (JMO)

I does sort of cocoon you.

I've always had mild tinnitus but it's gotten bad lately. Headaches too. I've read here and there over the years about people experiencing it more since vaping. The headaches and sharp piercing ringing have gotten so bad that yesterday, I finally remixed and lowered my nic from 12mg to 6mg. It seems to be better today and no headache.

I work in a hospital so I can only stealth vape in the bathroom every once in a while during the week day. The headaches and ringing seem to be worse on the weekends when I can vape more.
