Hyperventilating after three-as-one big hit

[Mike Tindell]

Hi. I'm posting this here because I wasn't able to post on the relevant thread. I haven't smoked cigarettes in a very long time, but tried a friend's vape and found the nicotine high novel, so I got my own vape and have one sesh a day where I take three hits in a row (no exhale; the Zero vape cuts off after ten seconds and one has to pause momentarily to get another hit). The head rush is always a 'Wow' moment. I'm pretty sure the hyperventilation is a consequence of an acute nicotine overdose. I use 50mg juice to maximize nicotine effect and minimize effects of the inert components. I have no idea if this level of nicotine consumption has negative consequences, hence the search that led me to this site. Happy vaping.

Hi and welcome,
Is quora down?
Nicotine is less harmful than caffeine.
Are you concerned about your caffeine intake also?

Cheers

I don't use caffeine. I didn't see anything specifically relevant on Quora.

Try a single hit at a time until you know what works. 50mg nicotine is very high. If you are direct inhaling instead of puffing and immediately exhaling it's a wonder you didn't fall over from the nic.

If you haven't smoked in a very long time you are better off not vaping. Why get hooked on the actions of smoking again? That may lead to adding nic to the vape and you really don't need to go down that road. Vaping isn't 100% safe. It may be fine, but we just know that it's much better than smoking. Who knows? Some of the medical claims that anti-vaping people are touting my be true.

Most of us started at 18mg to 24mg to get off the smokes and we were used to that level of nic from our previous smoking habit. We also vaped like we smoked, so it was a short hit.

If you're vaping to get a nicotine buzz, you will be disappointed shortly. It won't last long. Some people vape for the flavor or to quell their appetite for snaking (usually low or zero nic) but most of us vape to help us quit smoking.

You still get a head rush from nicotine? You must be new. It goes away after a few weeks and leaves you with a lifetime of nicotine dependency.

The consequence of nicotine overdose is the overwhelming urge to puke your guts out.

Did you do this with cigarettes?

Absorption from vaping is not instantaneous to my knowledge, maybe I'm wrong here.

If you take three puffs because the device times out, is that basically 30 seconds plus a couple in between puffs that you are inhaling hard?
Have you considered you could be "hyperventilating" just because you are straining your lungs and holding your breath?

Nicotine is a drug, and you are using it on an extreme end to get a buzz. What happens when you do that with any other substance?

Sounds like you're trying to get "high" from vaping. That's not really the goal.

If you like nicotine, you will LOVE caffeine!
Try one double espresso to start.

Do you consume alcohol?

Welcome! That strikes me as a bad idea, relax and enjoy a nice vape if you are going to partake.

Seems like a troll to me. But if real and seeking a thrill try skydiving next time

 

[Baditude]

If looking for a high or head rush, there are easier ways to accomplish that.

 

[Vchick]

or holding ones breath to long....

 

[Beamslider]

Breath holding works but spinning in a circle for 10 minutes works better. Real dizzy and what a rush!

 

[Vchick]

then standing up really quickly

 

[Coyote628]

Try hyperventilating then stick your head in the toilet and fush. You will get a swirly head rush, but do hold your breath so you dont drown.

 

[TrollDragon]

Now if you vaped 100mg VG base, you wouldn't need 3 hits in a row...

ECF can be pure entertainment at times...

You get a “disagree” only because there is no “abjectly stupid” button

You will be our lab rat, Mike, try it let us know how it all works out. Please give your password to a friend or relative in the event that it goes poorly for you then they could give us news and some details of the adverse event.

Also pics after the event. I’ve only ever seen a guy with swirly hair once. It was unforgettable. Dude looked like a Hershey’s kiss.
