Headache question

[Pappy358]

I've been vaping now happily for a month now. I am a recovering wounded soldier having endured numerous surgeries over the last seven years. With that comes pain. Something I accept and just move on.

But I had to stop smoking due to another surgery I had in the beginning of March. So I turned to vaping. I love it and the new freedom. But over the last three weeks I've been having pounding headaches. At first I thought it was related to the surgery on my eye. But I'm wondering if it may be from to much nicotine. I smoked a pack a day of Marlboro red 100's a pack or more or day. I'm juicing with 24mg juice.

Could this be to high and causing the headaches? Or do I get to have them cut my head open again?

I got headaches when I started vaping as well. Are you smoking as well as vaping? I did and was getting too much nicotine. You could be over nic'ing. Try some lower nic juice and see if that remedies the headaches and drink more water if you're not already. Hydration is key when vaping due to it's dehydrating properties. Thank you for serving our country! Good luck and Happy Vaping!

I smoked 2 PPD of Camel 99's for over 35 years. I started at 24mg juice and it worked perfectly for me. If you get a lower nic content and find it not strong enough you can mix it with your 24 and to boost it up to where it will be ok for you.

No. Stopped smoking the moment I got my Provari.

Thank you for your service and I hope the medical problems come to a quick end. I don't have much to add to what DetraMental said but want to emphasize upping your water intake, it can't hurt and may well get rid of the headaches. Good luck.

In the first month I got all kinds of symptoms. Thought it was my nic level but it ended up being withdrawal. Massive headaches, fatigue, anxiety. Didn't change my vaping, powered through and then felt better than ever.
I'd put my money on it.

If I'm not drinking enough water, I'll get headaches, too much nicotine will give me hiccups....YMMV
Get a bottle of lower nic e-liquid and try it, but also increase your water intake....

how recently did you stop smoking analogs? it could be withdrawals from all the other stuff in cigs.

Also try staying hydrated and maybe get a bottle of lower nic juice...

Yeap, drink a lot of water.

LOL posted in the wrong thread. Too many tabs open.

Lower your nicotene content in the juice.

@Robin. That's OK. Your info was helpful.

The first post was meant for you, then I accidentally posted a pic of my dogs that was meant for another thread. LOL.

Hey that's OK to. I rescue pit bulls and train them to be therapy dogs for disabled veterans.

Drink lots of water, maybe reduce nic.

I had headaches during weeks 2-4 of my 'transformation' from smoking to vaping. Frankly, to this day I'm not sure if it was too much nicotine or too little, or maybe just weening off all the junk in cigarettes.

My headaches were more dull than 'pounding' though... so that's a little different.

Anyway, I'm sure you are aware enough to go see a doctor if you feel it gets out of hand.... not relying on a blog for medical advice. I do hope the VA is giving you the quality of treatment for all of your issues that you deserve for what you've sacrificed.

Thanks for your service! I also recommend getting some lower nic juice. I smoked 1 1/2 packs a day, and I use either 12 or 18. And like everyone else said Drink Water!
