Has anyone had any issues with feeling sick at all... I just started about now I guess a month ago. Stopped smoking all together and now for 3 weeks been feeling very sick in the stomach. Also throat very sore. Went to the doctors had blood taking came back and I am fine nothing was wrong. She is thinking this all started when I stopped smoking went to the ecig. And that is around the time I started that my stomach has this off and on sickness feeling to it.. Anyone else have this felt this? Is this a reaction?.. I know I can NOT have the kind that is like a Christmas ring around it like red and white rings like a menthol flavor I had a metal taste I couldn't get rid of for hours so never tried it again >.<.....So if anyone has had or any info on this please help as of right now I caught a cold and went back to smoking and now the sickness as of today has passed XD I dont get it =/...

Jeez, no clue. Perhaps the flavoring in the cartos didn't agree with you?

Because we both know that vaping is far more healthy than smoking. And except for some flavoring, there's nothing in juice that isn't in cigarettes.

Try a small bottle of 100% pg juice and a bottle of 100% vg juice. See if you do better with one.

What kind of juice are you using?

I had this happen when I first started vaping. The "sore throat" went away after a month or so (not traditional sore, more like tired and needing constant clearing). My chest also had a "heaviness" to it which cleared up in about the same amount of time. During the first 3 months, I had occasional queasiness which I can only attribute to either vaping or to the withdrawal of cigarette chemicals. Either way, that feeling has long passed.

Since your Dr has given you a clean bill of health, if it were me, I'd keep vaping for a bit longer and see if the uncomfortable side effects go away. I smoked for over 30 years and have come to the conclusion that my body may need a few years to fully recover.

What level nicotine and what PG/VG juice were you using? Medium or high nicotine in 100% PG can be very irritating. Nicotine is a skin irritant and PG does little to buffer it. People can get sore tongue, sore throat or even sore lungs. In addition menthols and cinnamons can be irritating. And vaping is drying - if you don't drink fluids you can get dehydrated and that can add to irritation and make you feel sick as well. In addition, too much nicotine over to short a time can cause headache, rapid or irregular heartbeat, hazy ill feeling. And quitting cigarettes is quitting 4000 chemicals and some get symptoms from that.

So what were you vaping - what nic, what PG/VG. what quality of juice?

Thanks guys...I wasn't sure as to post what I was using so I see everyone is posting it so I see I can...Its called Eonsmoke ...That is mine. A friend had me try it and I wanted to try to stop smoking and thought why not try it. And I was shocked for the first time I tried it and that day I stopped smoking =). Till today when I promised I wouldn't use it. And however couldn't promise I wouldn't smoke though XD. However I went almost the whole day without feeling sick till lunch then guess what? I was sick yet again. =( So I am thinking some of you are right I went threw some change in that 3 weeks of not smoking and did get acid reflux and this is what the doctor was also thinking as what I was getting. I am on meds for that she said it would take more then a few days for it to work though. Been about 3 days I think now. With the Eon smoke..I tried 18 mil and 12 mil... I was trying both to see if I could handle the lower end. And what flavors I would like and what not tried about 5 or 6 kinds. I only liked Vanilla and what would be Parliament kind. My friend though was thinking maybe I tried to much and to many kinds to fast and quit to fast in that 2 weeks and the first week was only the 18 mil and the Parliament. The guy said 1 tip was like 1 pack I did about 5 tips in 7 days at 18 mil. Guess not to bad going from about 1 1/2 to 2 packs per day... Well I think XD... Hope this helps some and yes I did finally read threw here and found that 1 area where it had said everything I was feeling and was WOWED at what I read I did know from stopping before I was going to suffer and go threw alot from stopping the smoking but didn't know there was so much more I didn't know. So any other helpful things I should know from you guys =)...Maybe I should try something else? Or get something else then here?.... Thanks again =) the link I forgot to add to the place http://www.eonsmoke.com/

You haven't said what nic content you are using. How many PAD's did you huff? I started with 26mg.
It was way too high. I got headaches & squirts. Dropped to 18 then 12 using DIY. Still a bit high.
Gonna mix some 8 then less. This may be symptoms of your problems.

Hi and thanks guys for writing back =) umm first from what I do know it is PG and I am doing about 1 cardo maybe in 2 days? or about that can be sooner. Seems like depends on the top. They are pre filled and like I said I like Vanilla or the Parliament...That's about it so far others taste kindof funny. I only have 18 mg and 12 mg.. So don't want to try lower then that yet if feeling sick thinking that might be why I am nto getting enough yet of the nic? I don't know as why I thought I would ask if others felt this way and if I would have read a little more I would have seen that XD but thinking maybe I should try something else to. Saw so many others on here as what they have and WOW... Was scared to play with juice as you guys say thought safer to stay with pre filled...Thinking maybe I shouldn't have >.< Anyone think there is a good one I should give a try that is easy for someone like me starting out new to work with? That will full fill that Nic fix that I do need at this moment? And no more smoking for me that was blah I must say after almost a month of not smoking to smoke lol was like eww hehe I like my e-ciggy heheh =D So anything you guys think I should look into I will thank you and I will do some more looking on here tonight too =)
