New vapor, vaping to much?

[MadHacker]

I just started vaping. (first day)
was smoking about 15 - 20 smokes a day and I just got my iClear16 with eGo-C Twist in the mail today with some e-juice
In 2 hours I have gone through about 2 ml. I'm not sure if I'm overdoing it.
I'm getting quite the buzz, my e-juice has 16mg/ml.
Can I vape to much? if so how bad can it be?

I just started a month ago and started with a higher nic mine was 24mg by what ive found when you start getting light headed or woozy its time to put it down for a few.

My iClear30 is a juice hog but you can turn the volts down a bit and make a bit less vapor. Maybe you are just enjoying your new toy but yes you will probably know when you get too much nic. That would be a lot of juice for me in 2 hours even at 16mg. I don't get the strong "Ahhhh feeling" unless its the first vape of the day or if ive gone without for a few hows.

I can tell if im getting a bit too much if i start getting a headache.

1ml an hour seems like a lot, but everyone is different. When I overnic myself I also get a headache, and a little nauseous. If that happens just take a break for a while until you feel better.

t I have vaped too much is when I got nic overdose, once I even threw up. but that has only happened 3 times to me. I have since lowered my nic level.

thanks Rich, I did that when I noticed the buzz.

what is the max ml should I vape per day?

edit:
wow, lots of posts since I did my reply
thanks everyone..
I don't want to throw up...

Don't worry about hard numbers, as everyone has different tolerances. If you are vaping enough to curb your desire for a cigarette but not vaping so much that you are getting sick then don't worry about it.

Step down to 6mg Nic juice.

What did you use to smoke?

You are vaping a lot; you might consider a lower nic level. If you get a 0 nic bottle of the same juice you have now, you can mix it to whatever level you want. Later, you can vape on that 0 nic juice, for those chain vaping moments.

It takes getting used to; hang in there! It gets easier, I promise!

Btw, welcome! Always nice to meet a fellow Canadian!

I'm also fairly new at this (3 weeks), and generally, I vape a little more than 1 ML per day (18 mg). I was a pack a day smoker before that. One of the first things I noticed was that if I tried to only vape for the same amount of time that I smoked a cigarette, it would not take care of the craving as well as a cigarette. From what I understand, vaping is not as efficient in delivering nicotine as smoking, so I end up vaping quite a bit more than I smoked. Often, I probably vape more than I should. This is most likely due to boredom and the fact that I don't have to go outside, etc.

Yes, you can vape too much Nicotine, and it will make you sick.
Just get a juice with less nic for chain vaping or even 0 nic if you like the taste & action that much

There is no "max". Everyone is different. Based on polls on various vaping forums, the average usage is 3ml - 5ml a day. I know people who vape 10ml's a day, 18mg - 24mg nic strength with no issues.

 

[MadHacker]

well what was I smoking before?
Next King size gold, there is no labeling on the package stating how much nicotine there is in there but it is a Extra Light cigarette.
Looks like i'll have to get something with much lower nicotine levels.
bummer since I just ordered a bunch of samples with 16mg/ml
I'll try to cut back... but I like it.
sad was trying to cut back on smoking... but first day I now have to cut back on vaping...

There's an old thread that discussed this topic - http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/nicotine/205837-fatal-dose-nicotine.html

*Assuming you can apply the LD50 metric as mean lethal dosage in an hour instead of a one-time intake*
The mean lethal dose is 0.5-1mg/kg. Let's say your body absorbed all 16mg of the 1mL of juice you vaped in an hour, you would need to be of 32kg (70.5lbs) weight for that dose to be lethal to you.

thanks. did a quick read of the post...
was wondering now of the 2ml I vaped what percentage actually gets into my blood stream?
I suppose it depends on how long you hold the vapor in your lungs.

Not sure whether that would have helped me or scared the pee out of me, LOL. I'm sure I've vaped that much in an hour if I read it right.

That part might be hard to quantify(?) without before and after blood testing? Haha!

There's sooooo many factors to consider when trying to figure out exactly how much nicotine your body can metabolize in one-shot or in a certain period of time. I honestly think the LD50 number is for actually drinking the liquid, but perhaps it can be used as a guideline of sorts so as not to continuously overdose yourself?

Note - I'm just another newbie reading stuff on the internet. Your guess is as good (or probably better LOL!) as mine !

... but it is a Extra Light cigarette.

Normally, and this is very rough estimate, 15-20 "ultra lights" per day, would put you in the 12 mg category.

As you can see, this varies a lot, so you might consider 6 mg.

To keep things simple, you could get 0 nic of the flavors you ordered, and mix it 50/50 with your 16 mg, leaving you with 8 mg.

Just an idea. The first 1 or 2 weeks can be a rough transition.

 

[Jerundax]

Everyone is different. I am fairly new to vaping also. I use 24 mg but I vape like I smoked. I chain vape for about 10-15 minutes and then put it down for about 2-3 hours. I go through about 3-4 ml a day this way.
