New Vaper Here, Morning Chest Pains?!

[nonlinearedits]

I've been vaping with a VaporNine w/ their menthol carts that are prefilled w/ Dekang liquid. I'm going on about 2 weeks of straight vaping. I gave in and had a cigarette or two late Saturday night at a concert, which surprisingly I was so grossed out by the taste of a cig I didn't want anymore. Had one again later because my battery was dead. So I vaped per normal Sunday, but I woke up this morning with a tight chest and when I inhaled deep I had a sharp pain in my chest. After a few hours and my walk to work it went away...

Anybody else have this issue? I have some shortness of breath during use but I do I have asthma, hence why I was stopping the analogs in the first place.

Any help would be awesome. Also if anyone who is also suffering from asthma can recommend some clean american juice to fill empty carts with, please let me know!

Thanks!

1, Nicotine is a skin irritant. 100% PG juice does the least to buffer the irritation. You are using 100% PG juice.

2. Menthol is an irritant to the lungs. 100% PG juice lets through flavor the most. Use juices with some VG and if that doesn't help then find ones with less menthol.

3. Nicotine causes vasoconstriction and using too much nicotine over too short a time can cause rapid or irregular heartbeat. If this is your issue, vape less or use lower nicotine. If you are vaping constantly, what I do is leave the ecigs in a nearby room so I have to go there to vape. Also some find they need to use lower nicotine in the evening.

4. Vaping is drying. Dry membranes are more easily irritated. Nicotine in 100% PG is the most drying. You have to drink plenty of hydrating fluids (not alcohol)

Buy some decent juice with w/ a bit of VG in it. In KR808D-1 cartomizers I use juices around 80PG/20VG. The SmokelessImage and Bloogplanet juices should be 80PG/20VG and I use V4L WOW juices which seem to be about the same. VG dulls/smooths flavor, throat hit and irritation but with just 20% PG there is still plenty of flavor and nicotine TH, less irritation, more vapor. 70PG/30VG will also work. But if you use high VG the juice can get too thick to move well through stuffing or wicks and you can get singed cartos or taste.

Can I mix carts on my auto battery VaporNine Nebula, or do you mean dripping a mixture youself into them?

Thanks for the help by the way

yep true say. i have had chest pains all the time. finally realized its the nicotine. pg bothers me too but 70/30vg is good for me. i cant go to a 12mg at all. i need to stay at a 6mg so i dont get the chest pains. i never thought it was the nicotine doing, it but i recieved two sample juices that were 70/30vg 6mg and no chest pains at all with these juices. thats how i realized that itst he nicotine mainly giving me the chest pain. now my quest is to try and get a 12mg throat hit out of the 6mg. think its time for a vv.....

If you have constant chest pain you really should go see a doctor!
