Headache..

[Danyel]

i'm pretty new with all the e-smoking, vaporing, whatever you want to call it. today was my first day with my 901 and so far so good, the cigarette itself is great.

but heres my question, within 5min of me smoking this i began to get a headache, later is subsided but every other time im smoking im getting the begining of headache coming on. is this normal? god, i hope not lol i dont know if its because i how im drawing on it (to hard?) or what it could be.

my first day i experienced a headache and sore throat; but by the next day both symptoms were gone (i drink lots of water when i vape now).

i'm not sure what caused it, but i can confirm your experience.

I found I got a headache from smoking too much with it at first. I was smoking high nic cartridges and it tasted so good I didn't stop and got too much nicotine. Not sure what strength you are using but too much nic will definitely give you a headache.

thanks, glad to know i wasnt the only one, i hope that i'll have the same expierience as you and not get the nasty headaches tommorow.

well i would think that but i'm smoking a low lvl (11mg) of menthol

Overdose!!!! you will get a head ache from overdose or not enough...be careful.

smoking clam makes a good point- i use high nic cartridges as well, which i may have been overdoing.

this is all new to us so its natural to test our limits w/ these things, trial and error. i think i'm going to have to get low/medium nic carts in the future though- so i can vape as often as i smoked w/o overdoing it on the nic.

I found myself vapping alot more than burning tabacco. That meant you gotta have lower nic. Remember nic gum the higher the nic the more peppery it tastes...same with juice. And you will taste it by accident while vapping. I highly recommend not going for the high or ultra high unless you plan to water it down. Medium is great to just take a toke here and there...low if you are on a marathon....lol...

I tried high nic at first and felt terrible so now I'm on medium and its not so bad.I will probably end up on low nic soon just to be at the level of smoking I was at before!

i highly doubt it was an overdose, because like i said within the first couple tokes my first time using i got a headache, thats impossible for it to be an overdose already especially when im using a low nic cartridge.

If it continues... get a 0 nic level and mix it with the 11MG and see if it helps.

 

[lordmage]

another topic to consider is your having a PG allergy look into that as well if spikey idea fails or test the PG allergy then try to find your nic level

i got the extra high liquids figuring i'd been a dedicated hard core smoker for more that 40 years. Into day 3 now and i think i'll probably get some food grade glycerine to dilute it 1 to 4 just because i get a nicotine hit too quickly and have to stop smoking. i guess as others have said, it's a learning process, what fits your profile.

Good luck with it anyways.

I use 36mg liquid exclusively and I have yet to overdose. If these things actually produced smoke, the inside of my house would look like there was a thick fog. I have even held my breath to see if I could get more of a nic hit. I even overfilled my cart a couple of times and practically inhaled the 36mg liquid. Everyone keeps saying how powerfull the 36mg liquid is, but I haven't experienced it at all except for accidental ingestion of the liquid itself.

The only thing that has given me some fairly vicious headaches since going to pure e-cig usage is when I start to cough up the tar laden mucous from smoking real cigarettes for 20 years.

The only time I have ever come close to ODing on nicotine was chewing nicorette (4mg) too quickly. I just got hiccups though.

Maybe it is just my inability to get any real nicotine hits out of vaping...

 

[lordmage]

bisciut for a good hit try direct and not mouth puffing also consider slower draw for longer

It sounds like you have high tolerance Biscuit. Try vaping low or zero with occasional spikes of high, you might get some buzz that way. Vaping high constantly doesn't give you any good effects once you've built tolerance.

 

[breezy]

I got headaches for days when I first started, I was using the med carts and med juice. I cut the juice with glycerine and now I'm all good. and bought low carts and juice. No more headaches for me.

It can also be the way you draw on the cig - if you have to draw hard, or if your jaws are all clamped up with 'trying to do it the right way' (especially when you just start) this can cause some headache also.

I agree.. since it is not soft like a cigarette... sometimes the way you pull on it (inhale) can make the jaw hurt or give a headache too.

im starting to think thats exactly what it is. today i started to smoke and didnt get a headache but noticed my jaw is all cramped up and achy...so apparently its a real rough draw for me. i'm using the 901, is it normally a tough draw?
