Hello I'm Joanna
1, We have 4 undisciplined cats. What safety issues do I need to be aware of as far as PG, nicotine and cats? (signs of allergy and/or overdose) This is problematic for us because we have one cat who enjoys smoking with my husband (She will go out of her way to inhale second hand smoke. No we don't let her have cigarettes.), And another cat that will lick/eat almost anything. Any help or advice?
2, Any links in regard to eliquid/vapor and cats?
3, Should I boil my atomisers on arrival to avoid primer taste or are there better methods? Having no idea what he's going to taste and little experience with this equipment I'd like to give him the best shot of sticking with this.
4, He's hesitant to try fruit or candy flavor due to a bad mini cigar incident. aside from dedicating an atomizer to certain flavors what can I do to make this a happy alternative to analogs for him?
5, Which flavors need a dedicated atomizer?
6, What are the signs of allergy and/or overdose? Could some kind person point me to a link where I might find that information
7, Any other analog-anon wives out there?
thanks
joanna
1- see Kates links about cat info. I would tell him to try not to blow it at them and also LOCK your juice when not in use. Lock box at the hardware store does the job and the bottle he is USING should also be kept in a sealed or zippered bag or box or an eyeglass case (some of us use those to carry our stuff around)
2- only data is on consumption of PG and we are not sure how much is "consumed" by second hand inhalation.. but may be minimal.
3-although it is nice not to have to "puff off" the primer taste... no reason to boil or wash a perfectly good atomizer (sometimes.. rarely.. but sometimes... they die from cleaning them if they are made porrly) Just have hum juice the arch of the atomizer and puff (NOT inhale.. PUFF) the primer fluid until the taste is gone.
4- Fruit flavors seem to taste best to a lot of people because of the way the sweetness of the PG and VG mix with them... but if he doesn't like them... stick with dryer flavors.
5-Menthol flavors, RY4 flavors stick in an atomizer and cherry flavors seem to also. Can't think of others off the top of my head.
6-health section has allergy info. Allergy would be to PG. Most people experience SOME side effects while adjusting.... severe sore throat, ........, mouth sores are common.... but I am allergic to PG and he will know the difference if he is allergic. Hives, throat closing, difficulty breathing, throat pain and face swelling etc... (if it is a lind allergy would be harder to tell).
#1 sign of nicotine overdose is a headache. Also.. racing pulse and dizziness. Even at 3 packs a day... he likely does not need more than 24MG juice.
There are a bunch of "supporters" on here who don't vape.
I am down to zero nic and I LOVE vaping. It is very tasty. I would not push anyone to develop a habit they don't need... but if you don't have a strongly addictive personality.. get a small bottle of zero nic juice (or PM me your address and I will send you a small sample bottle) and try it. You could also come to the next Vapers Club meeting on Long Island. Let Me know if you want an "invite" to the Vapers Club group so you can come to the meetings!
