i just read the entire post linked to earlier.

WOW who would have thought all of that could be from stoping smoking!! very surprised, but it does make sense. I do have to say i feel much better and am breathing far easier in the last 7 days then i did when i smoked.

I smoked aprox 1/2 - 1 pack a day for the last 15 years....(im 36 now) despite quitting about 10 times in the past (8 months was the longest quit, with a lot of 3-5 month and 1-2 month quits) all of the time in the past that i have quit i always craved cigs, not so much because of the nicotine craving i don't think, but due to something to do while bored, and (strange as this sounds) i VERY much enjoy blowing smoke (vapor) out of my mouth. I tell my wife if i could breathe fire i would be in heaven!! Plus i probably have some low grade ADD where i just have to be doing something with my hands, etc....i don't sit still for long very well (always clicking pens, flicking caps, crap like that).

Just want to say thank for all the help and support so far on here, it is only my 3rd day with a real vape (not a blu) and my first day posting/reading on here and so far both experiences have been the most positive i have ever had in quitting. Hoping to eventually move down to 5mg, and then 0mg, but i still want to blow vapor! :)

Thanks again to all of you!

Once I really got into the swing of vaping, and some good gear in hand, I found that I had some physical reactions to being able to get more nic in my system than it could handle.

I had to learn how at a: stay properly hydrated, b: eat balanced meals, c: control my nicotine curve. Sleeplessness (from vaping too high mg nic later in the day) vomiting (yeah that 36 mg nic was an overdose in my spang new happy fun Nautilus tank that made all the flavors totally pop like crazy ((don't find this out in your car on the road, mmk)) ), blood sugar swings because flavors are NOT a substitute for eating...

You really can hurt yourself having too much fun, but experience will help bring on moderation without inhibiting a full and happy vape lifestyle. That being said, you can help yourself by living a balanced lifestyle while vaping. It is within your grasp to take control of what you are having fun with, vape on, and stay calm. Don't let panic stress you out if something unusual happens with your body; pay attention to it, back off a bit on the chain vaping, and motor on.

Lower nic levels in the evening, (I got some 3 mg nic so I could blast away and enjoy and still sleep, when I had trouble with sleeping from Too Much Fun, and it helped a lot). If you have the runs, get you some cheesen tortillas, and quesedilla a bit to help while you are getting your balance with vaping.

A week into vaping, your body is just starting in on the changes of giving up smoking. Carcinogens are not all you have taken away from it's daily routine; all the additives in cigarettes also have withdrawal related effects on the system. Sinus drainage as your breathing reverts to normal function will end up in your stomach and effect your digestion. Hang in there!!! You can do this, whether you keep vaping in perpetuity or not. Coming out the other side from all the side effects of NOT smoking is like walking into a whole nother world you didn't remember existed, and you will really love what it hands you back, of life and enjoying life.:vapor:

Everything you are describing indicate too much nic. Patches give people very vivid dreams and nightmares.

I am down to 6 mg of nic because I like to vape ALOT. lol

I would definitely lower your nic down, and that should solve the issues.

I agree with this I remember being on the patch not happy so I chewed the gum while on it. Made my heart race. sleeping didn't happen easy and when it did I had horrid dreams that were so real feeling my wife wouldn't sleep in the same room with me. When I started vaping the first day I put some juice down 3ml gone in 8 hours= Horrid dreams returned. next day I bought another bottle of juice and only vaped when I felt the urge to smoke just like analogs, Dreams gone. you have to vape responsibly, by that I mean when you need to. If you find yourself vaping because of the taste for the juice then buy a No nic juice to vape when you aren't trying to rid the analog symptoms of withdraw. that way you get that fine flavor from one juice and a good combat tool for withdraw from the other.

Welcome, I have had no issues with Vaping but when I tried to stop smoking with NRT it was a total nightmare (patches/gum and spray) and had the same symptoms as you have, I could'nt sleep at all and when i did it was really bad nightmares and too add to that I also had the worst wind you could imagine, everyday!!:blush: I think it might be the nicotine!!
