Nic sick

[thatrandy]

Holy...CRAP
I just got a crappy trident v2 clone in the mail a while ago, and I took it upon myself to set up it up with a crappy little coil (I had some pre-made ones) and threw in some cotton and dripped some juice on it (6mg nic) put it on my VAMO V6, and vaped it..... heavly..... and what followed,, was pure HELL....


I started getting leight headed, dizzyness followed, then I could barly stand. I decided to take a shower, which helped a little...... then I just hopped out of the shower and lyed on the bed..... is nicotine really that much stronger on rda's? Because ......, ive chain-vaped on kanger coils for 30 minuates and NEVER got anywhere close to that feeling....Ive only had nice little relaxing buzzes.... at this point I think im never going to use an RDA ever agian

Don't do that no more.

Like Nermal said don't do that again.

As far as it being a result of the rda I do doubt it. Most vamo's can only handle a coil that is 1.2ohm or higher(not sure on the version 6), Stock kanger coils are any where from 1.5-2.5ohm depending on which ever you select. That small of a variance in resistance won't make much of a difference in terms of getting that much nic that fast to make you feel so sick. Did you properly clean out the rda before using? There could be machining oil or other nasty things in it that you were inhaling.There has to be another reason that this happened which you should check with your DOCTOR!

I personally drip 12mg on a .7ohm single coil, which to me is perfect. My co-worker uses 3mg on a .4ohm dual coil build, yet finds mine way to agressive for him. Hell first time he tried it he nearly puked. Not everything is for everyone.

Did you clean it with soap and water before you used it? Vaping machine oils is a huge no no. I drip 9mg off my trident and have no problems. Keep in mind I barely use 1-2ml of 12mg a day in a carto so I don't see myself as being someone who is used to a high nic intake.

Usually if you are inhaling vapor you will feel the hit being way to heavy and cough or stop vaping before anything like that happens.
The only time I've heard of a reaction like that to nic is when people are mixing their own juice and get some of the nice concentrate on their skin. Did you maybe somehow spill a bunch of juice on yourself or get a good amount in your mouth somehow maybe?

The only other thing would be what larry mentioned about machine oil which might be the case if it was a brand new cheap clone.

Forgot to add I used about 10ml's of 12mg in carto tanks daily. With a rda I still use 12mg and about 6-7 ml's a day now.So the nic received is more but not something so overwhelming for most.

I had the exact same reaction from chain vaping 36mg. I felt sick, had to lay down until it passed.

1. Machine oil gives terrible taste. Nobody will vape it.
2. Absorption of nicotine from juice by skin is much smaller that while vaping.

Do not overvape!

........ I never cleaned it out o,o
opps....... that would of been a good idea..... in retrospect that was a dumb idea not to -,-
also I was using a premade coil from fasttech, which may have been dumb too....
also, I did not get more on my skin then maybe 3 drops max, which has happened before and not ever given me the slightest of a buzz o,O

 

[ProjektMayhem]

Wow sounds pretty crazy. I've gotten kinda light headed from my RDA but that's because I rip it 5 times in a row. But no where close to the point that I need to lay down or anything. It's just a nic buzz for me. Probably just shouldn't chain vape that nic level anymore. I know when I switched to RDA's I had to lower my nic level by more than half. 24mg to 6mg.

Clean it with Dawn dish soap and water. Scrub with an old toothbrush. Rise with very hot water, then let dry. You will be set. My first RDA I though it was just normal since everyone said to drop nic levels, etc.. Waited a week and got fed up. Read up on it (found articles on machine oil residues / harshness) and behold no more sickness after a good cleaning.

I learned the "hard way" at first with 24mg juice and chain vaping...and coughing. E-liquid is a pretty efficient carrier of nicotine. I find that 12mg is the current sweet spot and 3mg the right level from the one dripper I own.

 

[Maiar]

I call that Over Vaping. If it wasn't for the nausea I'd probably do that thirty or forty time a day lol.

 

[JT Cheeba]

That's a pretty bad feeling man, but don't give up on your RDA! Just take it easy, get a 3mg or dont chain as much. You'll also get more tolerant

Well I took like 15-25 hits in a row -,-

 

[Dragon Smack]

I just bought a Loki Labs Odin RDA BF and it never entered my mind to wash it first because of machine oil. I feel stupid as H*ll
