First time vaper, think I enjoyed it too much

[WDeranged]

I'm guessing this is a common issue

I'd been meaning to try an e-cig for quite a while and yesterday I finally got an eGo CE4 with a couple of own brand fruit juices from Liberty Flights.

Once I got started I didn't want to stop and I suspect I've slightly OD'd on nicotine, I'm not a heavy smoker by most people's standard and I vaped about 1.5ml of 18mg juice in an afternoon, I've been getting mild but persistent headaches and a loss of appetite since then.

I've done a fair amount of reading up so I know it's possible PG doesn't agree with me, I've ordered some VG juices with 6mg of nicotine and they should be here tomorrow.

I really enjoyed the sensation though, I'm a smoker who has never liked the taste of tobacco so it's liberating to have other flavours, I just hope I can find the right set up for me

1.5 ml is not much really. If you are getting headaches I would lower the nicotine down to 12 or so and try that. Also make sure you are taking light, slow drags.

 

[altspeed]

Yeah. You might not want to slam those big direct lung hits like I do. Go to a lower nic juice, like already suggested. You can get a shocking amount of nic I'm your bloodstream very quickly vaping

I'm with you on that. I'm thinking about dropping down my nic strength. Even my tobacco flavored e liquid is too tasty to have just 10 puffs. LOL. I've also become obsessed with blowing huge clouds.

Thanks for the replies, the 6mg juice should be here tomorrow and hopefully these headaches will have subsided enough for me to give it a whirl

Lower your nic, you'll feel better, sleep better, and lose the vivid dreams. Congrats and welcome!

what if i like the vivid dreams

I'm currently vaping 12mg. I've been seriously thinking about getting 18 or 24 for during the day when I just want a quick hit to get my fix. And then in the evening using something like 6mg for a more pleasurable hanging out vape. Dunno.....just thinking....

VIVID LUCID DREAMS!!!!!! a rare gem for me, but boy those are fun.

anyway, i started on 18mg and it was knocking me down, was only a 1/2pad parli menthols. went down to 12mg during the day and 6mg for the night. sometimes i'll even go no nic when i just wanna chain vape while mindlessly trawling the interwebs.

 

[WDeranged]

I only smoke about eight cigs a day so I can believe 18mg is too much for me...I'm surprised the headachey bleh sensation has lasted this long though.

This is one of the main reasons I wanted the e-cig

 

[2ndtimer]

Forgot about the dreams. Last time I tried to quit I used the patch...Crazy dreams!! This time vaping, not so crazy, but vivid. Might cut my nic level down. Still loving this though. Either gonna go with the itaste SVD next or a Provari.

You want to make sure you drink plenty of water. I didn't drink enough when I started vaping and got headaches. They went away when I made sure I was hydrated.

 

[Alyssasmama]

Same here..I take sips of water after so many hits and it gives my PV some time to rest

 

[altspeed]

The PV does seriously dry your throat and bronchial tubes, the hydration is critical

Hello all, I have also used electronic cigarette and I really enjoy its flavours. I have tasted various flavours of e cigarette such as apple, vanilla and mint.

 

[THETOTALLYCOOL]

Last month, I purchased 4 tobacco flavors, filled 4 tanks, and sat down for a comparative taste test (think Pepsi Challenge). But I only had two batteries, and kept switching back and forth, comparing A to B, then B to C, C to D, D to A, and so forth.

I was a bit wired at the time and rushed through the process as I stood in the kitchen. Then I threw-up. A hot bath and some water to drink took care of it, but I was not a happy camper for about an hour.

 

[chamane44]

I'm down to 6mg and hope to go none soon....BUT, I do love the vaping and there is so many gadgets! lol

 

[upsetter21]

Vaping has made me puke a couple times. Sometimes it sneaks up on you, esp. while trying a new toy. Seems tanks forced me to go lower on nic. Then micro-coils and high performance wicks stepped up the vapor.I started at 32mg or 3.2%, now 6mg or 0.06% is my comfort zone.

Early transition period is a little crazy. I think we all end up with too much nic. It's a learning process and adjustment period.

One of the trickier parts is the slower uptake of nic. Far slower than cigs. You can easily feel the nic coursing and building as you chain smoke cigs. Not the same with vaping so it makes it easy to miss the subtle hints of too much before it's too late.

I vary my juice strength all the time every day depending on what I'm doing. I even hit 24mg sometimes in the AM even though my standard strength is 12. But I only take 5+/- vapes or so.

I'll keep a tank of 18 with me when I know my vape opps will be limited. Late night I'll never go more than 6-9mg. I personally find 6 too light more often than not. I just buy 2 bottles of the same juice @ 12 & 6 and then mix 50/50 for my 9 blend.

I'm loving the mixing % idea. I'm gonna buy juice tomorrow and try that with 24 mg and 18 mg.
