Holy OMG - Something Scary

[Xeno]

Ok, so I've been vaping for the past 2 days (no analogs at all). I took an unusually large drag (well large for me). I started coughing... the next thing I know I wake up on the floor disoriented wondering where the hell I am... luckily I was sitting on the couch at the time and didn't fall far.
I have been vaping fairly steadily all day using 18mg juice (I smoked 1.5-2+ packs a day prior to the other day when I got my 510). Maybe I am using too much? I don't have any headaches or nausea... felt normal actually.
Anyone else have any issues like this?

Sounds like too much oxygen followed by coughing will make anyone faint. Easy on the breathing heavy! BUT I will say see a doctor asap. It could something entirely different so I suggest you see a doctor asap. Not to scare you but you never know. Better safe than blah blah blah

Xeno....I have never had that happen to me...Could be(based upon your analog consumption)you are getting "Less" nicotine than your body is used to. I am not a doctor or expert in this field(hopefully someone else will ring in here),but if it happened again I would contact a physician!The Wiz!

Go to the doc, sounds like a seizure.

I've passed out from coughing before. It really took me by surprise. Keep an eye on yourself. See if you have any other symptoms, like dizziness when you stand, things like that. If it happens again, then I suggest you see your doctor and tell him about it including the ecig part of it. For the amount you smoked 18mg shouldn't be too much but every person is different and you might need to cut it a little if you feel dizzy or start having headaches.

I got really sick one time by smoking a strong cigar to much and taking really long drags just to see how hot I could get it. (I know that is really stupid, but it was new to me).

I got really sick. Felt VERY VERY weak and almost did nod off.

This was a real cigar. Not a vap.

could be allergic reaction to PG and/or too much nicotine strength? slow it down, whatever the case is, be careful and maybe u should check with a doctor...

btw, check the 'withdrawal symptoms' thread...

 

[Flitzanu]

no offense, but sounds rather unrelated to vaping. to my knowledge i've never seen anyone report anything like this.

i'd agree with the others that you should go see a doc if you literally passed out from coughing.

 

[IMetalGearVaporXI~]

what is the difference between pg & vg? i dont understand it all yet.

one is propylene and other is Vegetable derived I believe.

 

[DaMulta]

How old are you? Could be to less of Nic maybe you should look up what happens when you quit. See if light headness is part of it. How long were you out? I have passed out due to sleepiness before like that.

It's a 510.
And what genius/ASH member told you that one?

 

[dawnlori]

you can get seizures from smoking e cigarettes? I just bought me a brand new 511 now I'm concerned.

I never had a seizure from a 511 but I did have an orgasm from 007.

I don't think they meant the e-cig induced the seizure - just that it could possibly have been one.

I can personally attest to the fact that e-cigs actually stopped my seizures due to the chemicals in regular smokes were causing conflict with my meds. Now I have no seizures at all.

I can't say his problem was unrelated of course, but a huge coughing spell caused by anything (swallowed wrong, colds, etc.) can make some people pass out just from exertion and lack of oxygen. Especially if you have been lying down or not exerting yourself at all for some time.

Take care,

i doubt he meant that it was from the ecigs, look up the withdrawal symptoms, keep track of ur nicotine intake, and search forum for possible allerigic reactions to pg...i don't think it has much to do with e-cigarettes...there have been a few ppl who had a bad experience & assumed it was ecigs, only to realize it was something else entirely...

My Dad used to pass out like that from coughing real hard. The doctor told him it was from coughing out a lot of oxygen and causing him to black out. He would continually cough out without breathing in to get more air. See your doctor, and if it happens again, try to get in a breath or two during the coughing.

Rest assured PVKing....there have been no known reports as of yet to affiliate seizures with "Smoking" e-cigaretts!!(actually we prefer to call it "Vaping"). I have also included the link to the "New" comprehensive guide to vaping since you seem to be loaded with questions! http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...gh-3-6-please-do-not-post-here-thank-you.html hope this helps!!The Wiz!

No need to be ignorant. It's quite obvious that I did not mean that any chemicals in the e-cig caused it. Only perhaps like others have stated that the deep inhalation might have triggered something or the coughing you might get from having a grade A e-cig and juice.

stevo_tdo.......Not to .... in..but I think ravengrim may have been referring to PVKing and not yourself!! I don't think any of us are qualified enough to say what may have caused this members condition...I would just stick with referring him to a doctor..as this is not an everyday occurence!!The Wiz!

I say you got too much nicotine- combined with coughing = faint

I was vaping 24 like crazy and got light headed... just slow down you'll be fine..

Perhaps, PvKing did interpret my post incorrectly. And you are right, See a doc.
