Immediate Throat hurting, nausea, feel of passing out, my heart hurts. All after vaping

[Franklinni]

So right after cleaning my coil by running water through it and dry heating. I vaped and instantly felt sick. Throat hurts, feeling of passing out, nausea, and even my heart felt as if it hurt for a little. And the funny thing is this is the 2nd time this has happened right after cleaning. Any suggestions on why?

Hello and welcome to the forum. Glad to have you here!

Did you put eliquid in your tank, did you prime the coil?

 

[Franklinni]

Yes eliquid was in the tank. And what do u mean "prime" the coil. Thanks for the welcoming

How did you clean your coil? Just water? And what do you mean by dry heating? Did you dry burn it?

Priming means either dripping a a couple of drops of e-liquid directly onto the coil or taking a few puffs without activating battery to force some juice into the vaporizing chamber. Or just waiting a while for gravity to do its work.

 

[Franklinni]

Yes dry heating and no I did not prime it.

 

[Franklinni]

But idk why that would cause me to get all these side effects

You should prime always--to avoid a nasty dry hit. And you should have rinsed the coils after dry burning to remove any ash from the coil/wick. Did you clean and replace the flavor wick?

Having said that, I'm still surprised at your reaction to a dry hit. Most of us just cringe, but heart pain and nausea? Did you check the resistance of your atty after the cleaning? Voltage of your battery? Something is not right here, but I'm not sure what it is...

 

[Franklinni]

No I don't know how to replace the flavor wick. I just go buy a new coil like a newbie. But I felt as if I was going to pass out and my throat still hurts and it was immediate pain. Could it be from inhaling burning cotton or something?

 

[Franklinni]

The voltage on my battery checked out

Franlinni, i'm a med student, this is not normal. go see a doctor.

 

[Susan~S]

What type of tank are you using? Most stock coils (like the kanger coils) use silica as a wick. Silica doesn't burn but if you do not have enough juice on the wick when you inhale, it will give you a harsh, dry, hot, and burnt tasting hit. We call these "dry hits".

OK, let's start from the beginning--what tank do you have (name and brand) and how do you clean and dry burn it? Can you see the coil when it's glowing?

How long have you been vaping? Have you ever had any problems with fresh coils?

 

[Franklinni]

Well it's happened to me twice from cleaning the coil so it has to have something to do with that. And I still feel cold hit sweat slightly. But I have a ecto bdc. The coil says 1.8 with an omega sign (3.0-5v). I just rinse water through the coil dry with cloth then dry burn at 4.5 for 5 seconds 2-3 times then rinse again and dry heat again. Then I put back in my well and I hit it and yes I got the horrible taste, did it one more time and still horrible taste. Then the symptoms kicked in

 

[Franklinni]

Never had a problem with fresh coils been vaping for a month now.

 

[Franklinni]

I can see my coil but it usually doesn't get to the point where it glows red

 

[Franklinni]

Last time this happened to me I felt fine after 3 days. I've read other threads with ppl showing the same symptoms right after vaping. But not enough info was provided for me to get answers

1) How are you feeling now? Are you any better? If not, you may need to see a doctor.

2) Stop dry-burning your coils for now. And don't use that coil you just cleaned. At least for now.

Use fresh coils only, please!

If it doesn't glow, it's not clean. You may be inhaling fumes/smoking crud from your coil... Not good.

 

[Franklinni]

Yes it's a good bit less severe now. And I always use fresh coils, I've just been cleaning to try to get extra life outta them
