Feeling very sick

[grantemsley]

No idea if this is related to quitting smoking, vaping, or regular illness. Or a combination of all three.

I'm going to go see a doctor, but maybe someone here can shed some light on it as well (my Dr. probably isn't familiar with vaping).

I started using my PV 18 days ago. Quit smoking about a pack a day 18 days ago.

For the last 2 weeks, I've had mild ........, felt tired, nauseous like I was going to vomit (but haven't), occasionally dizzy, a headache, and stomach pains.

The stomach pains and ........ have gotten worse the last couple days, to the point I had to stay home from work.

Anyone else ever had similar symptoms?

What mg nicotine are you vaping?
Are you chain vaping?
These are some signs of too much nicotine. Try cutting back vaping, and order some lower mg nicotine e-liquid. While you wait for your order, go to Walmart and pick up some HUMCO Glycerin it also states on the bottle USP grade. You can use this to cut the e-liquid you are using to lower the nicotine content. If this keeps up, please do go to the doctor to get the symptoms checked out. Good Luck!

Hey. I'm not a doctor at all so don't take this as medical advice, but you may need to lower your nicotine level. Also, your body is most likely still adjusting to quitting. There is a withdrawal period, not from lack of nicotine but from lack of all of the other chemicals you ingested for so long. The body overcompensates for the absence of these chemicals. So, that combined with too much nicotine will make you feel very crappy. No pun intended.

Also- just a side note: if you've gotten any nic juice in your mouth and swallowed by accident that could be making you sick. Another thing - you may be allergic to PG (propylene glycol) you may want to try out some strictly VG (vegetable glycerin) juice just to be safe. Hope you feel better.

I went through the same things when I started. I believe it is from the Nicotine level. I have 36mg 100% VG juice. I vaped all day and felt like that. A few weeks ago I got some flavorings and added them to my liquid thus lowering my nicotine to about 24mg and this has helped. I am not as tired, no dizziness, no stomach ache and ........ has gone.

This is just my $.02 but it helped me out.

Go to the doctor anyway if you can afford it. If not try to lower the nicotine level and give it a few days.

I went through a period of fatigue and some stomach issues. I switched to VG juice and it went away.

I don't know why everyone always automatically thinks first of too much nicotine when responding to posts like these. Those very symptoms are equally likely, or even more likely (given what we know about the amount of nicotine delivered by e-cigs), to be the result of nicotine withdrawal!

I still get this if I do too much nicotine (ie - suck in some juice, spill it on myself, etc). If I eat something that normally gets rid of it within a few minutes. If the symptoms persist beyond that it is probably something else.

And I'll bet your doctor has heard of vaping by now! I mentioned it to my doctor last year, and when I went to see him this year he was well versed on them. Best of luck!

1. Try a different liquid from a different vendor.

2. Try an all-VG liquid.

3. Try cutting your nicotine level by adding 'Glycerin, USP' from a pharmacy to your e-liquid.

If none of those fix it then you probably have tobacco withdrawal or an illness or both. See your doctor.
