I've been analog free for 5 weeks, vaping for about 6 weeks. I started out at 18/1.8 mg nicotine. I've currently been vaping at .6 or .3 mg nicotine. I use the eGo One, Rocket, Rebel 2, and the Vox 2 Mod. When using my mod I'm at 7.5 wattage / 4.5 volts, 2.5 atomizer. (not high at all). My question... For the past week in a half I have been experiencing dizziness/light headed sensation. Almost like a mild case of vertigo. It can't be the nicotine, right? I'm on pretty low dose. Has anyone experienced this after 5 weeks? I didn't feel this way when I was chain vaping at 18mg. Thanks for any info you may have on the subject.

Welcome, your choice of equipment,hardware,may be too effecient, or the vape juice your buying is not what it says it is.goodluck someone with experience with that hardware will come along shortly,i am sure. When I started they had pretty inneficient stuff, so I cannot help much onthat end.However , I started on 24mg and was dizzy, and went to 18mg and was fine,I am on 10-15mg,depending on day now.

Im no doctor but it sounds like you should see one. It may be vape related, it may not be. Those symptoms could be lots of things, not enough of a given nutrient, some sort of heart problem, etc. It could be nothing but it could also be serious(hopefully not).
I've had vertigo in the past...but this feels slightly different. I'm not really having any other symptoms as far as heart problems go. I was basically curious if anyone quitting analogs have had any of these symptoms 5 weeks after quitting. I'm not diabetic to my knowledge, blood work done 5 months ago. I'll probably swing by the doctors soon to have a check.

Could just be plain-ole withdrawl from the analogs. Theres a lot more nasties in them than nicotine
I was thinking the same thing, 7000+ chemicals. ..I'm sure some of the other 6,999 chemicals have withdrawal symptoms as well(amongst other things). Just strange it started 5 weeks after quitting. Thanks!

Try meclizine. Motion-sickness pill. I always keep some handy. Your doctor may recommend no nic. I went to no-nic and later bumped it up to 3 mg. Remember that nic affects the circulatory system, and the inner ear (where sense of balance originates) is one of the first organs affected.

I don't think anyone can sense any difference between 2.5 mg and no nic. Double-check your calculations.

I think I figured out the problem, too much nicotine. I just sat down and had a real long vape session and when I stood up it was like I was high. I guess I assumed that there was just no way .6 mg was making me feel light headed /slightly dizzy because I used to smoke 1/2 to a pack a day of Red 100s. Guess I was wrong. From my understanding it takes longer for vaping to deliver the nicotine into your system. So that probably explains the delay in some of the symptoms I've been having. Guess I'll lower my nicotine level next time around.
