New to vaping, advice please :)

[faqade]

Hi everyone,

I decided to start vaping after buying one of those 10 Motives disposable e-cigs they sell in Tesco's. That tasted like cat's ...... but, being a trooper, I bought a Liberro Realis starter kit and have had a few goes on it but my Regal king size habit is a tough one to give up.

One thing I noticed after trawling the internet for all the e-cig information I could find, one vendor mentioned something about not using if you are taking medication for depression. I'm knocking back Sertraline 200mg daily (SSRI anti-depressant), do you think I'm ok to continue with vaping? I have had more anxiety today, I'm an anxious person anyway but today has seemed a bit worse than usual, could this be the e-liquid?

Last thing, I'm not a fan of the e-liquid that is in the prefilled Realis carts and I want try the Red Oak liquid I purchased along with the kit. This may seem cheap but is it possible to 'suck' e-liquid out of the carts to put this new one in to try? I have some syringes with a proper tip, could I use one of them?

Thanks

Look up "taryn spin" And no i don't think e liquid causes anxiety, but not having your cigarettes might.

facade,

Welcome! I have read something on this forum about PG vs VG one of them causing problems with users of anti-depressants. Give it a couple of replies and I'm sure someone will clarify which e-liquid to avoid, if they aren't doing it while I'm typing this.

That just might work. Try it, theyre disposable. I doubt the e liquid is affecting your anxiety. The main ingredients are propylene glycol and vegetable glycerin

There should be no reason why vaping would effect a person that is taking antidepressants. To be sure, you might want to check out the health forum once you get 5 posts (also an hour after that for you to be able to make a thread or post). There's already been a thread created about it:

Thanks for all the quick replies. I had a go at extracting the e-liquid with a syringe and it got some out but it doesn't seem to have enough suck to empty it so I'm going to look into the 'taryn spin'. Thanks again for the thoughts on the anxiety/anti d's as well. I'll have a read up on here about the best quality e-liquids

Keep in mind while vaping, you're taking in nicotine at a slower pace rather than big shots of it at a time like with regular cigs. You're also absorbing it to your mouth rather then the lungs (or so i've been told.) You're body could also be reacting to not getting all of the chemicals and carcinogens that cigs offer. These could both be contributing to your increased symptoms.

Hello & welcome Faqade

I'm on anti d's & I've been vaping for over 3 years.

Have a look at this little gadget for getting juice out (or filling) cartos -

The Griz Whiz £1.99 - Vaping Spares - Accessories Electronic Cigarettes | Vaping Devices | Accessories | E-Liquid

That vendor also sells excellent e-liquids. Use discount code ECF10 for 10% 0ff.

I take SSRI's and i was also wondering about this; v helpful thread, thank you
all i know is since between stopping smoking and discovering e cigs, a big gap of three years, my anxiety levels reached new highs now i've discovered e cigs, maybe its psychosomatic with me i dont know but i've only been using e cigs for a couple of days [my last analogue was christmas last year[ and i feel better already, mood is much improved!

I take both anti depressant and anti anxiety and been vaping for two months now, haven't noticed any negative changes.

I take them them too and haven't noticed any differance.There are a lot of chemicals in cig that you are withdrawing from.

I agree with all that's been said. Maybe the extra nic can help too? Been used to treat Parkinsons experimentally!
