Getting sick from vaping

[jim99]

Hi all,
I started vaping 2 weeks ago. Im using a Joye eGo ( Joye eGo-T starter kit with normal eGo batteries - Joye eGo-T starter kits Heaven Gifts ) and ejuice from freedomsmokeusa.com. the ecig is working greate. However im getting a kind of seek from using this thing? I feel that i get the nicotine dose, but 10 min later i feel really bad, like having a flu, and it last for several houres. Anyone experienced this?
Im not even vaping that mutch, about 9 drips a day. (I did smoke for 27 years)
Ejuice from freedomsmokeusa im testing/using: Max/Boro 12mg & 18mg - Pure Cig 12mg & 18mg - Virgina 12mg - Wyatt Earp 24mg.

Thanks
Jim

Ever consider a lower nic mg?

You may be allergic to propylene glycol (PG) or something else in the juices like one of the flavorings.

I doubt it would be too much nic for using 12 and 18 mg when he's been a regular smoker for 27 years, espescially how little he's vaping.

It could be withdraw from smoking. When I first started, I occasionally felt a little queasy. It went away.

If you've quit smoking all together, it could also be some withdrawal symptoms. I think I've heard a few people mention "quitters flu", but I could be mistaken. All of the toxins leaving your body after quitting can cause all kinds of weird things, but they are usually temporary.

My guess would be a PG allergy.. or it could be possible its because your body is in detox from all the chemicals in the cigs... you should probably see a doctor if it persists!

Probably the pg

 

[swedishfish]

I'd think you'd know before this if you have an allergy to PG. It's in everything.

 

[notrab13]

I'd suggest ordering some 100% VG juice and trying that. If the symptoms persist after that, then I'd say go see a doctor.

Try a few different(Lower) strengths on the Mg & mixtures of VG verses Pg...60/40...80/20...examples...Process of elimination just to see if any of those things bother you...Good Luck!!!

 

[notrab13]

Allergies are kind of funny. It's not unlikely that he hasn't ingested PG yet, although he's more than likely used it topically. Some people can have reactions to both, but some only will when ingesting PG.

I've been told by many Dr's in the past that you do get sick for about a month after you quit smoking so its probably quitters flue like ctourtelot mentioned. Unfortunately everyone in my house was sick already the week I quit so I can't tell if I'm sick from our cold or quitter's flue right now but I been chain vaping since I quit T-Ciggs and don't feel nauseous or anything and I'm using 24mg juice.

 

[jim99]

The juice bottles im using is marked 100VG, i guess that must be the stuff you are reccomending notrab13?

I do not know why my body is reacting this way, it is sad, because ecig is a very smart invention!

You are using 100% vg. It makes me feel oogy. Try the PG juices or a blend of PG/VG next time and see if that helps.

I also had "quitters flu", At first I thought it was from vaping but later realized it was the withdrawl from all the other 3,000 chemicals/compounds

i never noticed a pg allergy all my life, i started vaping and was fine with 100% pg juice. i stopped vaping for like a month and then went back to it and boom, im allergic to pg now. slightly allergic but still allergic, i can only do like 30% in my juices or i get headaches, hot, light rashes, itchy, etc.

strange, but true.

 

[swedishfish]

That's crazy! But that can happen with allergies. You're fine, then boom!

 

[jim99]

I actually did quit smoking 5 months ago, so it cant be quitters flu.

In that case you should probably be vaping zero mg e-liquids. I bet you'd feel better.
