I thought i was a heavy smoker but

[trashguy]

I smoked for 20 years , started out with marlboro red then lights and lastly
was yellow american spirits. usually 1.5 to 2 packs a day. i started out with prefilled cartomizers that were medium ,supposed to be 11mg. then switched to refilling myself. well i bought 24mg which gave me a instant headache and made me dizzy. then to 11mg which gave me a "spacey " feeling and now im down to 6mg and 0 mg. im also about 270lbs , im really suprised how this affecting me.

Wow, you are an extreme example of how everyone is different when it comes to nicotine strength!

Could possibly be a reaction to the juice? Maybe try switching it up from PG to VG or vice versa?

Could even be a bit of withdrawl from the other chemicals found in analogs. I would get spacey, dizzy, headachy when trying to quit cold turkey. Been vaping long?

You might have smoked like I did. I lit about 3 packs a day. But I didn't actually smoke that much.

When I was walking down the street or huddling outside on a smoke break, I'd smoke the entire cigarette. At home I'd light one, take a puff and put it in the ash tray. A few minutes later I'd take another puff. Usually (but not always) I'd grab a third or 4th puff before the cigarette burned down to the filter.

When I tried Nicorette, the strength for heavy smokers made me nauseated (and neither strength did anything to keep me off cigarettes) but it wasn't until I kept cutting my nicotine levels while vaping that I realized how little nicotine my body really expected.

Just hit a month of no analogs, I do notice I vape more frequently now.
I just ordered some vg so well see if that does anything. Its just weird
That the prefilled cartos I started with didn't seem to affect me that much.

Sounds like you might need to try a different supplier too. The lower mg juice you can get by with the better. Just find out what works for you.

HOW you smoke matters too. People that puff deeply on a cigarette tend to get more nicotine absorption, whereas people that didn't, didn't.

For me, I've found that the stronger the solution, the better.

Whatever works for ya ..is good
I was at least a PAD - at weekends it was nearer 2 - for 25 years - and 12mg is fine for me (in fact at times, because I chain vape, its too much lol)
