Hiccups

[Thompson]

Does anybody else ever have hiccups caused/exacerbated from vaping?

I've had my run in with pancreatitis and it can occasionally perk up hiccups that last on & off for a decent bit of time. Time before now I was hiccuping here & there for 36+ hours.

Cigarettes used to do it too. So I figure it has something to do with a back pressure/vacuum being caused by drawing in.

At least with ecigs I've started more just holding the vape in my mouth upper throat & sinuses which can avoid spurring the hiccups.

I've heard it said that hiccups can be a symptom of too much nicotine for some people.

 

[Thompson]

Hmm, doesn't feel that way (and I've been getting it occasionally while chain vaping).

 

[Hello World]

No.

I have done just about anything and everything backwards, too much flavor and nic, offbeat PG/VG mixes and what not, different clearos, RBAs, etc. over-chain vaped... but hiccups ... no, never.

I do remember getting hiccups when I first started vaping. I was using cig-alikes, and since they didn't burn out I didn't know when to stop vaping. I do think it was the nicotine because I would also have that antsy feeling like I was over stimulated. I must have gotten used to it because I can chain vape for hours now with no problem.

(Also used to get them bad with nicotine gum.)

When I used to smoke analogs I would draw into my mouth while holding my breath and then inhale only what I had drawn in. The net result was a very fast inhale, and the sudden movement of my diaphram would cause me to start having hiccups. Now that I vape I draw straight into my lungs and have not had any problem hiccup-ing.

I get it fairly often, although I can't identify a pattern to it. Sometimes I can chain vape for hours with no problem, but other times I will take a few drags and then start hiccuping. I find that if I stop as soon as I get the feeling that it might start, then it doesn't last as long.

I used to get them when I vaped 36mg and called them the niccups.

 

[kdwycha]

I only hiccups from HHV Legend. Usually after a meal and I just hiccup once after inhale. If I take a smaller hit no hiccup. Dunno why it's only this flavor.

 

[Jimmyjimjam]

It happened to me a few times while driving and vaping

 

[TheSenator]

Yes, only with vaping though. I'm pretty sure it's the nicotine intake also.
Sucking in a cig will make you cough from the smoke, but with vapor there's nothing to stop you, so alot of people actually UP their intake of nicotine when vaping.

I've seen many threads about people who get headaches from vaping too much, since it is a diuretic.

To me it sound like the most likely scenario is that you are swallowing a small bit when you vape and after a bit of vaping your starting to get the hiccups. <3​

I've heard it said that hiccups can be a symptom of too much nicotine for some people.

I've found this to be true for me. If I chain vape or raise my nic level and if I don't pause between toots I get em bad. As a matter of fact I just got em Monday night when I went from 18mg to 24mg. Had em for 3 hours straight until I couldn't take it anymore. Good ol teaspoonful of sugar and a cup of water knocked em right out.

 

[kittypie]

Yep, I used to get them all the time from nic gum, but haven't had them from vaping. Yet.

 

[Factor52]

I just get an occasional one hiccup usually vaping on a full stomach.

If your hiccups persist you can stop them instantly with a tablespoon of ice cream

 

[middleborn]

I get them if I stand up too fast.
And if I eat something too salty.
Or if I have 10 beers instead of 9.

 

[Rocketpunk]

If I get hiccups (and I bleeping hate hiccups, annoying as bleep), I just exhale ALL the air out of my lungs and pretend I'm in outer space doing an airlock transfer and see how long I can go before inhaling. The longer I hold my breath (30 seconds, usually), the quicker I get rid of hiccups.

It's all just a matter of holding your breath in your lungs (empty or full) as long as you possibly can. Hiccups go bye bye each and every time.

 

[Thompson]

Nice to see I'm not alone! haha

I've not really been trying any hiccup-away techniques recently as the bouts only last for a few. But I usually go for the holding breath one first. My buddy was explaining one where you lean super far forward and drink water. Sounded like a way to make a mess or a fool of me haha so I didn't try it

 

[middleborn]

Yup.
Lean forward...bent at the waste...and drink the water from the opposite side of the cup.
I've done this before and I did not drown, which in itself was a miracle.

 

[Rocketpunk]

and drink the water from the opposite side of the cup.

This makes my brain hurt. How can you possibly drink from an opposite side of a cup?!
