How much is too much?

[RobearII]

The question has been posted, but the answer is mercurial. Some have said your body will tell you. But when, and how? Others contend that there really isn't a possibility of too much. I have to believe that the answer lies somewhere between.

I go through at least 3 ml per day. If I'm stuck sitting and working, or veging on the couch, I can run through 2 ml in a couple of hours. 6mg nic. No clue how much ingested mg that translates to.

Is that too much? I feel fine, but my vision gets a little cloudy from time to time, likely due to the fog.

I challenge the forum to respond without using any variation of the phrase, "your body will tell you". I'd like to get that particular information before I become a med student's case study after I selectively ignored my body's demure hints.

Bonus question: how to I get a profile pic up. I clicked and searched around for as much time as I could withstand and, as is evident, the goal fell prey to my patience.

Insert witty/profound tag line here.

I wouldn't be worried in the least bit w/ those numbers. That's hardly anything at 6mg nic.

RobearII. I vape all waking hours 6mg. I go through 15 ml easy. I havent had any issues. It keeps me from smoking cigs so its all good for me. To add profile pics at the top go to settings and on the left you will see edit profile pic and edit avatar. Avatar is the pic that appears with every post. Later

I don't want to be a smarty pants here so please don't take it that way. When I have had too much nic I get nausea and sometimes my heart starts to beat faster. Sometimes if I keep vaping anyway or used to be kept smoking anyway I may get a headache. It's not a well feeling for sure. We call it nic sick. You really will know if it happens to you. You will feel too nauseated to vape any more. Then it will go away after you stop for a bit. A lot of us were concerned about it when we started. To be honest though it happened to me more when I smoked my Marlboro lights then it has in the nearly 2 years I have been vaping. I know you don't want to hear that your body will tell you but I am afraid that may be the only answer there really is. Different people have different tolerances for how much nic they can handle. I do know that if I vape my brains out late at night I don't sleep as well but nicotine is a stimulant so that makes sense. I hope this helps and don't worry about it so much because you really will know.

I go through between 6 and 8 ml a day between at work and when I get home. 10 ml a day usually on weekend days. 3 ml a day is nothing.

Also depends on what atty you're using, how high of wattage you're vaping at, etc. etc.

My daily atty is a kayfun lite + which just CHUGS juice.

I am not sure but you may need a certain number of posts before you can add an avatar. It seems like that happened to me at 1st.

I added an Avatar before I posted Dana

Woops, I must have been wrong about that. This was my 1st forum as well as my 1st avatar LOL. I couldn't even find my own posts for a few days at 1st. If you see me driving in public you will know me because my husband will be in the passenger seat throwing his arms in the air and shaking his head. The short story is that I am an air head. Most people love me for it though

I used to wonder the same thing when I started to vape. I was very tentative about vaping too much. Then one night I had the house to myself and had a movie night, and on this occasion I just couldn't put my PV down, chain vaping away at a 24mg juice. They say your body tells you when to stop, and you want to know if it's true.

It really is. I got to this point where, after compulsively vaping all night, something switched in my head. I was completely wired, feeling really hot, heart pounding, a slight headache, quite nauseous and all desire to vape left me completely for hours. In fact, I knew if I vaped any more I would puke. It was not pleasant, and I never take it that far any more, and I decided to drop nic strength to 21mg at once.

As for ignoring the warning signs, I wouldn't worry. They are pretty hard to ignore, as you are covered in a film of sweat, clutching a vomit catcher. I'd say stop at an earlier stage, like when you get a slight headache.

Funny, I'm on 11mg now. I couldn't take 24mg now it's too strong.

Hi RobearII,

I started vaping about 3 weeks ago and, for the first couple of weeks, had to work out how much I could vape without feeling negative effects. When I overindulged I felt a bit dizzy, got a 'stuffed up' feeling in my sinuses or got the feeling of a headache coming on. At this point I stopped vaping for a little while and drank (even more) water; the effects soon wore off and I could go back to vaping. My body must have become adjusted to it, or I have gotten better at self-regulation because, in my third week I didn't get any of these symptoms. Hope that helps.

Your body will tell you.

Yep, That does it. Now I gotta pick the most representative picture of my average self assessment.

 

[RobearII]

Thanks, y'all. I'm gonna remove the governor and see what kind of damage I can do. I never got nic sick from the analogs, so, if that's the only real effect to monitor, I'm betting on the under that won't have any problems.

I don't want to be a smarty pants . . .

It is way better to be a smarty pants than a dummy pants. Thanks for the straight shot.

I went through 3ml of 1.8% Nic last night in about 2 1/2 hours
