Feeling ill after vaping

[RasmusEu]

Hi.

After about 5 minutes of vaping, I feel dizzy, I get nausea and my body is heating up.

- The e-liquid has 6 mg nicotine.
- I use a Protank 3
- I vape Halo Shamrock

Do you have any suggestions what might couse my symptoms? Acutally I'm not sure it happens with all my different e-liquids.

Thanks for your time here.

I think that you are experiencing the nicotine head rush try vaping on a lower mg liquid and report back

 

[RasmusEu]

Okay. I'm not sure what a nicotine head rush is. When I Google it, it seemed that people acutally wanted it.

I will try with another e-liquid and see how I feel after few minutes.

Thanks for your respond!

Have you recently switched to 6mg from a higher nic concentrate? Do you vape like mad when you vape? If so, as mentioned, it could be a head rush from the nicotine. I know I get the same symptoms when I get too much.

 

[RasmusEu]

I have never tried a higher nicotine level than 6 mg.

I don't really vape alot. It takes me days just to empty a clearomzier tank.

 

[DetraMental]

Ah. Are you using a new topper than you've used in the past? It could be delivering more sufficiently than the others. I know I had to reduce my nicotine when I switched to rebuildables because it delivered the nicotine so much better.

 

[RasmusEu]

Yes. When I didn't have the Protank 3, I used CE5+ clearomziers. Tho, I can't get 3 mg nicotine. The lowest is 6 mg.

I get this a fair amount and I believe its purely due to nicotine strength as others have said. What are you vaping? Perhaps VV set too high or something?

 

[DetraMental]

You could get some 0mg juice or just some VG and cut it with your 6mg, half n half to take it down to 3mg. It will dilute your flavor some if you use plain VG. I DIY so it's not a problem for me to make any strength I need.

 

[RasmusEu]

Good idea!

 

[fishj]

I have seen vendors sell 3mg. juice. I will start looking and get back to you.

 

[Susan~S]

Were you a smoker? If not, consider getting your eliquid with 0mg (no nicotine).

 

[Zaheer]

Has to be a head rush. Try going down to 3mg. I remember vaping a friend's 21mg and I had headaches for a whole day.

So sorry you are experiencing a problem. Very worried about you. Please let us know how you are doing.

This is how I was when I first started vaping. Your body just isn't use to the amount of nicotine yet but it will gradually become easier. I also recommend trying to mix the 0 MG Juice with the 6 to a comfortable amount as detramental said, at least until you can handle 6. I still get lightheaded a lot like you said and I use 0 Mg juice for a while and then switch back to 6 when I start to crave it.

Hmm were you a smoker even before you started vaping? 6mg is realy not a whole lot. Especially for a smoker.
Most of us start at 24 then 18 -> 12 -> 6 mg -> eventually 0mg.
So my question is, do you realy need the nicotine?

Best bet would be trying to get some 3 mg juices or cut it down yourself but you will loose abit of flavor then.

(The reason i asked is because once a swedish guy asked on the swedish forums:
-"Hey why do i get headspin i'm only vaping at 36mg"
- "How much did you smoke? You might need to lower your nicotine."
- "Nothing, i'm not a smoker i just vape for fun"

And he said he just wanted to vape with nicotine for no reason at all. Because his "friends could" )
He was most likley a minor, he ended up getting so flamed so he left the forums. Since it's even dangerous for a non-smoker to vape 36mg.. geez.

Hi

This thread is a bit curious. I agree that the symptoms look like a nicotine rush but come on... at 6mg?? I couldn't stop my cravings the first time I quit if I hadn't at least 36mg and I was chain vaping the whole day. The second time I started with only 24mg and after a week, even that feels too much... 18-12 seems more fit for me right now and I barely can feel anything. For someone to get a "buzz" with 6mg he either isn't an ex-smoker and in that case, using addictive nicotine is very bad news. Stop it right now before you get hooked! Or he is/was an ocasional very very light smoker that never finished a cigarrete.... a normal cigarrete should deliver around 1mg of nicotine (10-15 puffs)... 0.6mg is half of that AND thats the juice content... thats not even what we absorb through vaping...

Another possibility would be some kind of allergy and not a nicotine rush but those symptoms don't up too well...

Regards
Tony

OP, are you addicted to nicotine? If not, don't vape it. Don't mess around with a compound nearly as addictive as ....... I only vape to stop my 30 years of unfiltered death. Everything else has filed. Avoid addiction when possible. Have a coffe instead and vape a tasty 0 mg blend.

edit: lmao on not being able to talk about chemicaly modified morphine. The "......."

 

[tomvonc]

Your rig is just as an important factor. With a PT mini 3 on an ego, I can puff away at 18mg liquid all day continuously. With my Trident, on a brass Chi You. A couple of lung hits with 6mg liquid will spin me out completely!

The likely culprit is (imo) that the CE5's are single coil clearos, where the PT3 is a dual coil clearo.

Dual coils is generally going to result in more vapor production and therefore more nicotine per puff.
