Hello my name is Christine, l am glad l found this forum. I am 2weeks in with vaping- I stick Pico with nautilus X, currently at 12 mg of Nicotine. I am having major withdraw, down to one cigarette a day. Sweating is terrible, going to bathroom, and feeling out of it all the time. Is this normal? I am going to try 16mg of Nicotine, find 12mg not satisfying. I was smoking a pack of John players a day
Sweating and going to the bathroom a lot if its ........, is actually a symptom of too much nicotine, as well as feeling out of it, too hyper and strange. Also possible anxiety.

    If you OP Increases Her Nicotine Level, and the Symptoms get worse, then this Can be True.

    But if they Don't, or if Her Symptoms decrease, then then this would Not Be True for Her.

    Yes, it's a possibility you are od'ing on nicotine with some of those symptoms.
    Slow down, take a breath, relax, it's a long war with many battles to fight. You will win some, you will lose some, it's the big picture you have to look at!
    I live with chronic pain, I wish I could kick the butts, I really do, but there is just something missing from my vape that I can't seem to find. I am a dual user, I still smoke and I vape at 36mg juice in everything.
    BUT I'm not smoking 3-5 packs a day anymore! I'm under a pack a day, sometimes four, sometimes 18, it's just a matter of how mad my back is that day. But it's still better than where I was and I'm good with that.
    You will quit smoking and slip up, run into an old friend and have a smoke while catching up maybe? It's alright! I doubt there's anyone on here that hasn't slipped up!
    You are doing fine and if you really need a smoke then have one, but don't beat yourself up about it!

    Hello my name is Christine, l am glad l found this forum. I am 2weeks in with vaping- I stick Pico with Nautilus X, currently at 12 mg of Nicotine. I am having major withdraw, down to one cigarette a day. Sweating is terrible, going to bathroom, and feeling out of it all the time. Is this normal? I am going to try 16mg of Nicotine, find 12mg not satisfying. I was smoking a pack of John players a day
    I smoked 2 packs a day,, started vaping at 24mg,, if your body is getting sick and you are still smoking a bit,,i have to wonder if you are over dosing on nic. not under dosing.-- be careful I hope you find your spot.

    True, but I would strongly recommend trying to decrease nicotine levels first to see if symptoms subside.

    That's kinda a Hard Call.

    Lowering the Nicotine Level could make it Easier for the OP to cave in and Smoke.

    If it is a 50-50 Chance that one will work and will not, I would rather see the OP take the Route that would have the Least Impact on Her Cravings and or Ability to Not Smoke.

    All she needs to do is vape less to see if the symptoms she's experiencing diminish.
    We know nothing of the gear she's using, is she sub ohming, taking DL hits, and does she feel like this before she has a vape or after?
    I've not experience anything like how she feels when I quit smoking cold turkey, and vaping as she quits tobacco should minimize the craving, nothing else.

    Agree with WillyZee. :thumb: We have a saying here on ECF: "It's not how many cigarettes you smoke that is important... it's how many you DON'T SMOKE that is."

    Everyone's success story is different. Some are able to quit cold turkey using the vape. For others, they both vape and smoke for months at a time before they finally quit. There is no correct way. Whatever works best for you.

    For myself, I knew that I would have strong cravings my first week. When I got a craving, I vaped more. If that didn't help, I'd allow myself HALF of a cigarette...up to 4 a day. I'd save that half-smoked cigarette for later. They tasted pretty bad, but that actually helped me to quit.

    By the end of the week, I began to prefer the vape over smoking. When my final pack was finished, so was I. I haven't touched, nor wanted, a cigarette since.

    I must say that I feel it is extremely important to use a flavor that you enjoy. You won't vape a flavor if you don't like it.
    Wow-now great advice. Unfortunately a hour ago l got sick and vomited, don't know if it's from withdraw or the higher Nicotine-16 mg l got in the mail today. I was either vaping too much too fast or its withdraw. Either way l am taking it slow, not chain vaping

    Tell us More about the Hardware you are using. Wattage, Ohms, etc? And about how many ml per day are you Vaping?

    Because Throwing up is Not all that Normal. And if it has happened after you moved up to 16mg/ml from 12mg/ml, it could Definitely be a Sign that you are taking in Too Much Nicotine.

    Also, what is the PG to VG ratio of the e-Liquid(s) you are using?

    It's 70:30 PG VG

    I do have a 6mg bottle that is 3/4 full l could mix with the 16mg

    I would think 6 or 9 mg of nicotine should be enough at the wattage your at.. how much ejuice are you consuming daily? e,g, are you going though 5ml or 6 ml a day? Or more, or less?

    Then, how much were you smoking again?

    Probably go through 5ml, was smoking a pack and a half a day. 9mg was too low, l found 12mg was better.

    I'd use 6mg by itself.
    Only have a few vapes, 2 or 3 tokes, and wait to see how you feel.
    You need to find the correct amount for you.
    If you still feel weird, you could be allergic to one of the ingredients.
    l have been doing that and so far l am OK. I think what happened was when l got the 16mg in the mail l was chain smoking.
