My first Juices Showed up today. Vaped for the firs time! :D

[RyanRed]

I ordered a 30ml of Ice Ice, and 10ml of Classic Tobacco from vapedudes. There here!
Both are Extra Flavor, 50/50, and 24mg nic.

Love the Ice Ice! Love it show much, that I dont even want to try the other one. I filled up a clearomizer this morning, and been vaping all day on it.

First impression:
Loved it! Loved the throat hit, loved the taste, loved it loved it loved it!

Mid afternoon Impression:
Still loved it! Still vaping the Ice Ice, but I also started thing this may be a bit strong for me? Hit draws really seem to punch my lungs sometimes, and others not so much.

Now impression:
I have a headache Im not sure why, but maybe because Ive been vaping all day instead of smoking? I havent craved a normal cig all day. I've vaped about 3/4ths of the 1.6ml clearomizer today. I thought I would do more in a day, but ive used it as if I were going to go smoke, (and more) and thats what I ended up with. Im quite happy with that, but just hating this headache. Im guess 24mg may be a bit strong for me.. I donno.

But anyways I really love vaping, and I can see smoking is now a thing of the past for me. Ive already gave away my last 2 packs.

Any ideas on why I would get a headache though?

You probably have a headache from the amount of nicotine or possibly from dehydration. Vaping can dry you out and most people say to constantly drink water, much more than you normally would when vaping. After a few days it should be more clear what's causing the headache and how to avoid it from happening.

 

[sailorman]

If you only vaped 3/4 of 1.6ml, and didn't crave a cig, it might be a bit too strong. Threre is such a thing as a nicotine headache. Too much nic usually makes you a bit dizzy and/or nauseous though. Remember your first cigarette? Something like that.

Take it easy on your lungs. It's not even necessary to inhale. Most of the nic is absorbed by your mouth and sinus cavities anyway. Hold the vapor in your mouth longer, inhale shallowly through your nose and exhale through both your nose and mouth.

For what it's worth, strong menthol give me a headache too. It could be just that particular flavor. The menthol might be too strong, not so much the nicotine.

Hi Ryan. My first thought is you have vaped too strong a liquid in too short of a time. Maybe you should not vape again for about half an hour. My second thought is possibly since this is all pretty new that you havn't been replacing the water that vaping seems to deplete rob us of so quickly. Drink lots of water. The first signs of dehydration and nic over is headache, for me personally. Everyone is different but these are pretty common side effects of either too much nic or not enough water. If i have over done it i usually get a queasy feeling in my stomach also with a headache quickly following. Hope you feel better. Good Luck. Happy vaping.

Too much nic. It's nice to order some 24 mg, some 18 mg. and some 12 mg. so that when you need that nic punch, you can use the 24, but if you are going to chainvape, you can fill a clearomizer with a lower nic level and not get a headache. Or you can buy some 0 mg. nic and dilute. I like to use the 0 mg flavorless in between flavors to clear my palette (and the atty when I drip). I use 18mg nic first thing in the morning when I need a strong hit of nic, but then I switch to 12 mg for most of the day and if I am going to chainvape in the evening while I watch TV, I use my 6 mg so I don't get a headache. Sometimes, you reach for the PV just because it's fun to vape and the flavor is so good when you don't really need more nic. That's when it's nice to go with low or no nic juices.

Make sure you are drinking lots of water. Vaping dehydrates you and that can also give you headache. And sometimes, when you are starting out, just the constant sucking motion that your face and head isn't used to can give you a headache. I would suggest you put your PV down for awhile and drink some water.

I wonder if the headache could be your body reacting to being deprived the other toxins in cigarettes.... I know the menthol gave me a headache as well, but I wasn't a big menthol smoker. These folks are right tho, stay hydrated!!
Good luck to ya!

 

[RyanRed]

Thanks you guys! Yeah its a mild headache, nothing extreme at all. Ill make sure to intake lots of water and see if that helps. I also ordered up some desert flavors with 16mg to see if that helps. Trial and error I suppose! Thanks again!!

Glad your liking your liquid! I have to echo what everyone has said. Great advice. Also keep in mind as your replacing cigarettes with vaping your body isnt getting all the chemicals and additives anymore. So your body will also adjust to that over the next few days.

I also had a few headaches for the first couple days. Then felt much, much better!

I also tried to match my nicotine intake by regulating myself. Easy formula. I smoked a pack a day, full flavor. I got 24mg liquid. The avaerage king cig gave me about 15 strong drags. So I would vape 3-4 drags per 15 min intervals. I used to smoke about once an hour. This way for the first few days I could regulate and have a steady nicotine flow.

Now however, I just vape all day and night not paying any attention

I love the way you posted how your day went. I was waiting for the above bolded text to happen. It's from a few things...vaping dehydrates you so drink plenty of water, your body is starting to withdraw from all the other garbage in cigs, and you probably overdid just a tad. The resolve? Drink tons of water, hang in there (we all go through the withdrawal and it's not that bad), and either slow down vaping or drop to 18mg.

One other thing to watch for, an allergic reaction to PG. It can cause headaches also. If you've done all the above and are still having headaches, you need to get juice that is higher in VG and see how that works for you.

 

[DC2]

I doubt 1.2ml of 24mg juice in a given day would be too much nicotine.
Unless maybe if you only smoked about half a pack per day.

I'm going to go with dehydration as my first choice.
Withdrawal symptom from all the crap in cigarettes being my second choice.

First, Congratulations on a great new beginning E cigs definately deliver a better quality of NIC than analogs do, so I agree that you probably got more Nic than you are used to. Also the hydration issue is one to watch out for. You didnt mention your analog consumption, what you are used to getting daily. (This is hard to do), but maybe you can wait until you really want some NIC, then just take a drag, wait again to get a sense of what you need. Make sure you keep your wicking wet, The lung hit sounds a little like you have been getting an occassional dryer hit than you normally get.

 

[Vapoor eyes er]

Congrats and glad it's going so well for you. Also kudos for purchasing the Kgo- a solid starter kit. The heaadaches could be from dehydration. I drink 1 1/2 liters water per day and actually now enjoy drinking water. Could also be tbe Nic although I myself started on 36 mg and was fine. It will take approx. 10- 14 days for your system to go through the withdrawal from the alkoids in the tobacco.
Happy Vaping.

Theres a video on youtube comparing smoking and vaping 

 

[RyanRed]

All great info here everyone! i very much apperciate it!

Well its day 2, and I just vaped this morning with no problem/headache But thats also how yesterday started out as well. So today, I will keep extremely hydrated by drinking 8-16oz of water everything I vape, and most likely more through the day as well.

Ill report back this evening to let you know the results

Thanks again all!!

-Ryan

 

[Iffy]

I'm with DC2 on this one!

Lookin' forward to the Day 2 report...

 

[RyanRed]

No headache yet! Been vaping all day. Maybe it was a fluke? I donno. Will report back tonight as well

 

[Mroutlaw]

I ordered a bottle of ICe ICE from them and am waiting for it. I hear its awesome. I didnt order the extra flavor with it though. From what I understand, adding extra flavor to mints and menthols makes them too strong.

Vape dudes is awesome. They have great flavors. I havent had a juice from them that I dont like. They also have great promo codes for a free bottle and 40% off an order

 

[esccozar1239]

Congrats on moving from analogs to ecigs! I had headaches my first time as well, but it went away. Now, I don't even like the smell nor the taste of analogs. Happy vaping!

 

[RyanRed]

I agree with ya esccozar1239 110%! Today I was around some analogs, and even though I've only been off them for 2 days, I think they smell completely terrible now.

So the Verdict is in! No HEADACHE all day. Yesterday could have been a complete fluke.. I dont know. But I feel just fine today. Might not even have been the vaping that gave it to me. Regardless, I feel just fine. I did however drink massive amounts of water, so they may have helped if that was the issue or not. Anyways, thank you everyone for the advice, and help on this matter!
