Yeah if its the nic thats doing that to you then you might want to cut it down some with VG. I must be immune to it or something because I vape 2-3ml a day of 24mg and dont feel a thing. 8-o

I just ordered some dropper bottles so I can keep track. I have been vaping 9 days and my 30ml 24mg has about a 1/4 left.

I usually vape like 6 drops or so of 24mg from the AM - Noonish. My head has been buzzing for days, but I didn't really think it was from vaping and maybe it is. I can't say im dizzy really its more like a zinging sensation is the best way I can describe it.
r3dlined.....You might want to cut out completly for a day or so....the "zinging" part would have me worried...if it persists I would contact your Physician!:|The Wiz!

I agree that the nicotine concentration may be more than you need.

When I first started vaping, I assumed I would need a high concentration of nicotine because I was a 2+ pack a day smoker for 30 years. I got some wicked headaches and even some of the buzzing that you described.

The problem was that I was vaping A LOT . . . I hardly put it down. Consequently, I was taking in way too much nicotine. For someone who vapes a lot, you're generally much better off to vape a low nicotine solution and occasionally spike your e-cig with a higher concentration of nicotine when you feel like you need it. The low (or even no nic) solutions help feed the hand-to-mouth habit, and then the spikes of medium or high help better control the nicotine habit, or at least that's been my experience.

Ummm, yeah . . . the Wellbutrin may be having an effect on you. That was one of the drugs I tried in an effort to quit smoking, and I had to stop Wellbutrin within a few days because I felt kind of light-headed and slow . . . kind of like I was thinking through cotton. (Yeah, I know . . . doesn't make a whole lot of sense.)

Yes, cutting the eliquid will reduce the flavor, but some don't find it at all objectionable. Common "cutters" include vegetable glycerin or propylene glycol. Vegetable glycerin is generally the easiest to find--check out a craft store that carries stuff for baking/candy. Michaels generally carries Wilton's brand of glycerin. You can also find it at many drug stores, although not all are food grade.

To get around the taste issue, many people will add a bit of flavoring to the eliquid once it's been cut. Check out the DIY eliquid forum for TONS of information on that. Please do read up on it before you try to cut your liquid and/or add any flavorings, though, as there are some definite "dos" and "don'ts." :)

ugh I started WELLBUTRIN XL like 2 weeks ago too. I hope that's not screwing me up while vaping


I was on wellbutrin, and when I started vaping, I quit taking it. I was taking it to stop smoking and figured it was pointless if I was going to be vaping with no desire to quit(which I am). My understanding of what wellbutrin does is block the receptors from the uptake of the nicotine. I don't know the technical jargon but that is essentially it. I had no ill effects from the discontinuation of the wellbutrin. Other than getting more enjoyment out of the e-cig.

Peace

I still feel weird if I smoke to much after a week and a half. I have gotten sweaty/clammy hands a few times, but then I just take a break for a while and I'm fine. I think I'm starting to get the hang of it though. I have 24mg now my next order is 11mg so hopefully that will make it easier to not get so much in my system.

Well, I vape 36 pretty much all day long, from the time I wake up til the time go to bed. I AM thinking about going down to 24. We'll have to see what the 24 does for me, as I am expecting a sample set of 24 strength juices today from PS.

I am the same way, 36 all day everyday. i tried to cut down but i could never take my PV out my mouth. so i just went back to 36 and no bubbles no troubles.

it could possibly be withdrawal symptoms from the other thousands of chemicals in cigs.if you just stopped smoking analogs completely, try mixing or going back to analogs till you feel better, then maybe wean yourself off the analogs a bit slower...

Been vaping 9 days with no analogs in there at all.

Like some people mention it could be withdrawl symptoms from normal analogs, but I think it is related to this wellbutrin which you just started.

I was on welbutrin once for depression and I continued to smoke in this time although it is used as a quit smoking drug it did nothing of the sort, It did help my depression over time but I did feel really 'weird' on it especially at first, I took it for about a year and the 'weird' feeling went away pretty quick, when I was taking it I would have very different reactions to any kind of substance that entered my body, even caffeine....one time I ingested a lot of marijuana (1/2 ounce) in brownies while I was on it, made me damn near psychotic for a few hours...perhaps that is how some people supposedly quit smoking with wellbutrin... it changes the way you react to drugs and maybe for some people it makes nicotine less satisfying..but yeah...as long as your on that don't smoke a whole bunch of marijuana because I am not alone in my reaction mixing the two, just check google
