my e-cig makes me feel stoned...?

[Trox.Shawn]

so I have been vaping for about a week now, and I have noticed that since I've been off the analogs and vaping I have this feeling as if I were smoking pot instead of nicotine juice. I am not sick feeling just feel light headed and well... stoned. I dont mind it with the exception that it makes me super relaxed so that I dont pay as much attention to things, and I would rather sit around rather than go out to the bar as I did before I started vaping. Is this from perhaps vaping to much nicotine or just something that occurs when quiting analogs

I noticed something similar but I dont liken it to being stoned.
The buzz you get from it is very very passive, and takes a second to come on.
I notice it a lot more when I vape standing up as opposed to sitting.
Its not like being stoned IMO, but its a very nice almost euphoric sensation
Its also not accompanied by being lightheaded as is the case with analogs.

I like it better really

Almost sounds like nic overdose to me. What level nic juice are you vaping? If it's high go down to med (18mg), if that's to high go down to low. Or you can cut it with PG to lower the nic amount. See the DIY liquids section of the forum for more info on cutting.

After i quick smoking analogs, I was light headed frequently and vaping usually brought it on, but as you said, it was a passive type thing, not a sick type feeling. I do notice the calming sensation when vaping, but it seems as though a more natural reaction to the nicotine instead of the analogs. It is much more relaxing and soothing to me. I wouldnt liken it to be being stoned. Also, I vape much more than i smoked.
The bars dont need your money anyways, buy more juice!

I have two strengths... I normally vape med (18mg) but I also have some high (24mg) the issue is I have 3 bottles of high and 2 bottles of med. I really dont want to cut it down and lessen the flavor but I also dont want to just toss it away

You can buy some glycerine from a craft store(i think, ask one of the DIYer for clarification) and cut your nicotine content down.

I get kind of tired when I vape. I think this is because of the nic. I definitely don't think that you have nic poisoning though since you need like 60mg in a really short period of thime to be in danger. If you don't like it step down to a lower level as suggested above. The whole "buzz" from these are totally different from analogs since there are no additives, but it definitely helps stop the cravings and the withdrawals from ani's.

I also vape WAY more than I used to smoke! But I've been free of anologs for 13 weeks now. I started with 11mg and seemed to be a little to light for me. I went to 18mg and it's perfect.... for me. The higher nic amounts made me light headed and a sick feeling. It's going to be different for everyone. The key is to find what is right for you. Don't make yourself sick just because you don't want to waste the juice! You have to listen to what your body is telling you.... it never lies!

Also you may want to try VG based liquid... could be the PG isn't agreeing with your body. Something to think about or try also.

it isn't anything that makes me sick... I mean honestly I like the feeling to be totally honest I was just making sure it was normal. The only issue is my girlfriend is mad because I do not do as much with her I just like to sit and become a vegetable lol

There has been earlier reports that some people have experienced being drowsy, tired or lazy. not sure if it's something in the liquid or a change in nicotine dosage though and why it only affects some people.

 

[effigi]

Hahaha. Well, I was in a similiar boat -replace girlfriend with wife- and I just looked at her and said, "I could start smoking again if you like." It pacified her and I think made her realize i liked this new thing. To a certain extent, it is a hobby of sorts with everything i seem to enjoy

 

[hma95]

Sorry, I misread your post then, I thought it said you do feel sick. My mistake. I don't have that feeling even when I first started. Again, depends on the person though.

It could also be your bodies reaction to not having all the other chemicals in an analog. If you still have this feeling a week or two from now, I seriously would think about doing something different.

Trox.Shawn, when you do get the feeling you want to go lower, you could also buy a bottle of the same flavor, but 0 nic; then mix your other bottles with that. That way you will get lower nic, but you won't lose any flavor. (Of course you can also go the route of buying seperate flavors of the same kind, then mix your bottles down with PG/VG plus those flavors... but perhaps the 0nic-same flavor is the easiest when you are just starting.
But for now: enjoy! (Hey, couldn't we just be euforic from being able to leave behind the analogs, when we are just starting? )

This is what i'm thinking!!

hmmmmm,

Ive been vaping for a couple of weeks, and for the last week have been vaping 0 nic. I am vaping a pg/vg mix and have also vape pure vp. I am still feeling "slightly high" even when vaping 0 nic. I have not given up analogs.......I am smoking just as much as before I started vaping.

I too am wondering if there is anything that can be done to lessen the "high." I kinda like it, and it doesnt seem to make me any lazier than I already am. (snicker) But would like to know if there is a remedy for it. That way I can choose to be high or not........does that make sense?

BTW, I am still searching for the correct nic level and am waiting on a new order. 12 mg nic is too high for me. It gives me pounding headaches, and thats the reason Ive been vaping 0 nic and still smoking analogs. Does that make sense too?
