Migraines from Greensmoke?

[nobunnynose]

My poor friend! First she was ripped off by Prado, now she is getting migraines from (she believes) her greensmoke e-cig! She did not experience migraines from Prado - just the headache of getting ripped off! So does anyone know or have any experience regarding this? Thanks!

My neighbor bought a Greensmoke and got terrible headaches. Now he won't try another brand---actually refuses to try e-cigs again.

I think your friend needs to stop trying these overpriced rip offs. You're here. Maybe you should have your friend create an account here so we can help her directly. It sounds like she's just going to keep getting ripped off if she doesn't.

Oh what a shame! 'cuz I'm serious - the Prado did not give her headaches. hmmm... Thanks for confirming what I was suspecting! :0)

1. too much nicotine common symptom is headache
2. automatic batteries can cause headache and TMJ problems

Unfortunately I know of no manual batteries for Greensmoke which is KR808D-2/E9 (not compatible with KR808D-1). Manual batteries make vapor whenever you are pressing the button so you can drag as softly as you want.

If the jaw is bothered by the size of the end of the carto, I also recommend a KR808D-1 plastic drip tip (see LiteCigUSA.net) as a mouth piece instead of the white cap on the end of the carto - the end of the drip tip is smaller.

A KR808D+1 manual battery can connect to Greensmoke cartos using a D1 to D2 adapter from leCig.com. But if her cartos are too high nicotine that won't help.

Are there other signs of too much nicotine (perhaps like sweating, racing heart, tremors, dizziness, tingling) along with the headaches? It could be tension from overdrawing, or it might be something else happening at the same time that's not the vaping.

The odd thing is that too little nicotine can cause headaches too.

I do know that my sistem in-law was getting headaches from her crappy nJoy until I got her a Riva. She was going pretty low nic on the cartos too.

I hope the automatic battery is what causes my headaches. I use no nic, all of my blends are 50/50 or close. I really hope the pg or vg isn't causing it because that would suck.

I do get the headaches every time after vaping though, and it'll go away when i don't, but come back again after vaping. So I'm positive it's something to do with vaping and not quitting cigs etc...

I have a crappy 7-11 xhale o2 - e hookah so it might be

Overdrawing could be it too. I have to draw hard, a lot harder than a cig. I'm getting a nice pv, so I'll see what happens when it gets here.

Also tight cartos can be a problem. I try to use cartos with a defined center channel (like Boge) and I straighten the air channel if the drag gets hard. SLB ones are more like a slab of stuffing with no defined center and they can get tough to drag.

And with manual KR8 batteries, you need to keep the ends clean and they still have a center hole and a couple of tiny holes on the side. I try to keep those clean.

And re using a drip tip as a mouthpiece on the carto - that also gives you a bigger hole to drag vapor through.

Re your friend - make sure she isn't trying to drag fast and hard. Ecigs are best dragged slowly. Unfortunately, auto batteries can make that more difficult. Auto batteries may also need a primer drag to warm the atty in the cartomizer, then the real drag. With manuals you can usually just press the button in earlier than you start your drag.

If things are difficult to draw, it could be the connection between the battery to the rest. Some batteries have been not so good at first, especially the automatics versus manual or passthrough. The connections also vary, some seem tighter or requiring more turns to mate, maybe loosening things bit could help. Try cleaning out the air holes in the battery at the threads, or the grooves in the atom/cart or cartom. Check the sticky paper if there's any it could be covering something.

Wow lots of good info. Thanks, guys!

Could also be something in the juice, had some a long time ago that seemed to give me tummy problems and headachs, the only way to know for sure is to change all the possible elements for awhile and see what happens. New juice, atty's and carts. Don't think the battery would have anything to do with it.

 

[nobunnynose]

I get a little confused when reading about the "juice", etc. I have the "blu cig" and it must be much simpler than some of the other choices because I just have two parts. One gets charged, the other gets screwed into it and that's that! lol. Whatever you guys are doing sounds more complicated, but of course I just gotta know... is it better? is it cheaper???
