Go see the doc either way, at least to determine if he needs to adjust your meds......but if you know vaping less often helps, just do that until you get some pg or vg to cut the stuff with. Seems to me like you answered your own question right there :thumb:

I started out with 24mg juice, but within a week I was cutting it down to 18 because I was just vaping too often and the high nic levels were making me feel sick (light headed, horrible acid reflux, sick to stomach, sweaty, jittery, you get the idea). I wouldn't suggest cutting it in half at a 1:1 ratio like you said, but rather ease it back a little at a time. If you cut it too low you're just going to be vaping more of it anyway. Try cutting it down to 18 first, 1 part pg/vg to 3 parts of your 24mg juice
 
I've experienced similar symptoms w/ the attension to heartbeat and perhaps a shaky hand. For me though alot of that is a combination of perscription meds (adderal) and usualy coffee.

Although, I feel like the symptoms appear when vapping becouse I'm hitting it to hard expecting a dense cloud or hotboxing because the hit from a analog is unrecognizable.

Sounds like you're simply vaping too high a liquid.

I get this from new customers frequently.

...

New users tend to "overvape" and this leads to dry mouth, sore throat and dizziness. Usually the novelty wears off in a few days and you return to your normal "smoking" habits, but being aware of this fact may help you adjust sooner.

Great advice, thanks!! ^_^

I have also learned to use a lower nic level in the evening. I ordered some Sleepy time tea flavor lung juice from nhaler. That stuff is great for the evening. Give that a try and stick to your regular dose during the day. Here is a link to the sleepy time. 30ML Lung Juice - Plastic Dropper Bottles - NHaler

:shock: That's bloody hysterical! :)
 
Ive been grabbing a analog here and there but have set a limit and stuck by it and today I had a single smoke..

Got back inside and was like EWWWW WTF!?!?! who stepped in crap??

Its dawned on me it was me and my smokey fingers..

Past 30 days now and have a heavy chain vape action going on, from 18-36 mg and still get into panic mode. but it is a craving for nic.. Throw in a heavy nic mg snus and ride that wave.

It's been 6 weeks for me, I had similar problems. for the last few weeks I have been feeling lightheaded/dizziness on occasion and for the life of me couldn't figure it out.

Read up on MAOI's and general anxiety issues and deduced that it was likely withdrawal from the MAOI's in analogs causing much of my problem. Since that day (monday) I haven't had the symptoms nearly as much, and when it does happen I expect it, so I don't panic and make the slight anxiety even worse.

Still, to be safe, I went to the doctor today, they did an EKG and everything was fine, though my BP was a tiny bit elevated (likey due to arguing with my GF who got us lost on the way to the doctor lol)

I'm still convinced it is the MAOI's... imagine taking antidepressants for years and then suddenly stopping, your body needs to adjust... and like the Joes say... knowing is half the battle, so do your research ;)

It may be that you are simply absorbing nicotine through skin contact. I'm a little more sensitive to skin absorption than others it seems, and I can get flush with a rapid heart beat if I get a drop of liquid on my skin. It must be just rapid absorption. I used to have similar symptoms when I vaped 24mg liquid because I was using much more and was getting it on my skin more often. I switched to 36mg and started being very careful about not getting any of it on my skin, and that solved the problem for me.

Hey Dredbull, isnt the snus cutting it for you, so far for me snus is the bomb with the ecig fixing my craving for a throat hit and the sensation of smoke in the lungs. Between the two I'm pretty much good however sometimes I miss real smoke sensation as I think smoke is thicker than vapor but I'll live with it.
