nauseousness/dizziness after vaping

[numba1quiter]

I've just started vaping the ego-c. After an extended vaping session I feel somewhat nauseous, dizzy and sleepy. I'm thinking it could be one of two things. I could be vaping too long, or the juice I'm using is too strong (24mg). I'm gonna try a weaker (16mg) juice and see how that goes. Any recommendations? Thanks!

That is a Nicotine overdose or at least it sounds like that to me. If i vape too much. i feel the same way.

Yeah 24 mg is too strong for chain vaping. I use 18 mg during the day but at night I use either 6 mg or 0 mg...There is less of a throat hit but if you got a good flavor it doesn't matter.

I started with 18mg and was too strong for me because I chain vape. I went down to 12mg and that seem to do the trick for me. Been at 12mg for 3 years now.

Hi numba. That sounds like you are getting nic-sick(overdose). My advice would be to do exactly as you have suggested, drop down in strength. If the problem continues after dropping strength, then you may be having a reaction to the flavors or base of the liquid you are vaping, some folks are allergic to PG, some are allergic to VG, some are allergic to certain flavors. It does appear you have over done it. Let us know how switching down works out. Happy Vaping.

As has been said already, those are the precursors of a nicotine overdose. Just stop using your PV for a while and drink water, you'll be fine, no reason to get crazy and goto the hospital or anything. Yes, if you keep vaping after these symptoms, you will hurt yourself, but you did the right thing.

Switch to a lower nicotine level, and if it happens again, stop vaping for a while and switch to yet another lower level.

thanks all. I feel fine after lying down for a bit, drinking some water and getting some food in the system. I'm going to try to drop down to 18 or even 12. I'll let you all know how it goes.

I've never vaped anything over 18mg myself. I use 18mg for the 'wake me up' vape, then switch to 14mg for my all day vapes. I havn't had that 'first smoke of the day' kind of thing hit me yet, but sometimes I do start to feel a little off when I end up chain vaping in front of the computer, or video games.

If you're the type that does the chain-vaping thing, then dropping to a much lower nic level for those sessions definitely sounds like a good idea.

Same has happened to me with 24mg as well. Sure sign to either vape less, or if you don't want to do that get lower strength as suggested.
I find 12mg to be a good compromise if I want to chain vape.

Welcome to the club!

Sorry to hear that. Many of us had it happen at the begin.
As already said drop the nic level down to where you feel good. Have some liquid at hand with a little higher strength. You can use that for when a craving hits. That might happen at the begin until you figured out your sweet spot.

I use 16mg and I get headaches if I chain vape. It's too much nicotine. I would guess your having the same problem.

Agree with the others. Everyone is different I frequently chain vape 24mg with no ill effects. At 18mg I was darn near ready to light up again. But you have to listen to your body, if you're feeling ill/nauseous drop the level till you hit the spot where you're not craving a smoke, and not feeling ill. Everyone is a little different Drop the nic level.

I felt the same way when I got carried away with my new toy. I put it down for a while and felt ok. I figured it was probably a nicotine overdose. I now use 18mg and it can still happen, so I plan to drop to 12mg if I'm going to chain vape. Know your body and know when enough is enough...when you've had enough, try Jolly Rancher candies for awhile. Each person's tolerance level is different. Good luck!
