How's everyone doing, my name's Eric and I have been using E-cigs for about 4 years on and off now. My longest stint before now was about 6 months, before I stupidly caved after some personal trauma and went back to normal cigarettes. However, I recently quit smoking analogues (for the 3rd time) about 2 weeks ago and ordered up a new e-cig starter pack. I went with the Vapor King XLs from Vapor4Life and have been really happy with the quality as well as the vapor production.
My biggest issue/question is this. For the first 10 days of quitting, I toughed it out and went from smoking about a pack a day of analogs to 8mg nicotine carts(the lowest nicotine content I could find). I felt a bit of a withdrawal the first few days, but it leveled out and I was feeling better. Now 2 days ago, those carts have all but dried up and I've switched to 0mg carts, trying to ween myself off of everything BUT the hand-to-mouth habit. I am familiar with nicotine withdrawal somewhat, but does anyone else get hot flashes? This is the first time I've gotten them, along with cold sweats (for no apparent reason) and my stomach has been just churning, as well. I've read on a bunch of sites that this is normal, but did I simply not give myself enough time on the 8mg nicotine carts for my body to level out, or no matter what the nicotine, once dropped, will these withdrawal symptoms occur? I'm a 27 year old male, and these hot flashes are pretty weird man, lemme tell you!
My plan was to drop my nicotine levels way down with the 8mg, and then just have my e-cigs around with 0mg juice for when I'm driving or drinking and feel like smoking something. I've just never experienced these hot flashes in my face as well as an almost lightheaded/whooshing feeling in my ears.. It's totally new to me and kinda creepy feeling.
Anyways, thanks for taking the time to read this, I appreciate it and can't wait to get involved with the community here, as well as getting myself healthy!!
