Hey No Problem.
Like I said, If things Don't Better, or if they Get Worse, in the next Day or Two, go get it Checked.
I remember playing with liquid Mercury in the chem lab in high school with a buddy. Didn't realize at the time how dangerous handling that stuff bare handed was. It didn't kill me.
I will say (again, I posted on the other thread) that you are likely fine. A lot of the "dangers" of e-cigs can be taken out of context and/or out of control and widely exaggerated. Of course, stop with nickel in wattage mode, but cigarettes have traces of heavy metals in them and I smoked for decades, culminating in 3 ppd. The body is designed to eliminate poisons and toxins and etc.
I would maybe consider that you are making a change to e-cigs, that causes anxiety and etc., which can lead to psychosomatic symptoms and/or detox symptoms being taken out of context.
However, if you lived long enough to make the post and respond to it, you are most likely going to be Just Fine. If you continue to feel unwell, go to the doctor, and sure, mention the Nickel thing (and hope you have a doc that doesn't hate vaping, although well, that doc would likely be doing MORE tests than a doctor who is more rational, so either way, well, you'll get a "full" evaluation. Also, don't underestimate detox symptoms if you are transitioning. I was fairly certain I might "die" when I transitioned, (and, I also pretty much didn't care if I did, that is how bad my detox symptoms "were" from time to time.
Good luck, may want to try to work on the relationship with your parents though, if that is how they would react (probably out of fear/concern, if anything) but possibly not helpful nonetheless. Even if your parents don't change, you can change your attitude toward them, possibly, and that may improve things.
Best of luck,
Anna

Please note: The folks responding do not have medical malpractice insurance nor a medical license. Take the medical advise for what it cost you, it was free.
As others have noted, you're likely experiencing symptoms unrelated to nickel exposure from your coil. I'm not a doctor, but it is possible you may have a nickel allergy which is not uncommon. Here's more info from the the Mayo Clinic site in case you're interested...hope that helps.
Um, OP, I'm a bit confused about you saying "What would happen to them if they knew I vaped?" Do you mean they would be upset, or is vaping at your age not legal where you are?
Because... when I found out my kid was vaping, nothing bad happened, other than he got my support to continue vaping, since he was smoking before... Are your parents very anti vaping or something, is it a cultural/religious thing? Or would your parents just be upset?
If it's the latter, I might get it over with and tell them. If you are living with them still in case you run into other vaping problems it might just be best to get it over with, honestly. You may need their help in some fashion as you transition (for example in a situation like this). I'd be rather upset if my kiddo thought he was dying from something (anything, not just vaping) and felt he couldn't let me know.
If it's the first scenario, it's not fair, just, or moral to subject THEM to possible fines/difficulties etc, because YOU want to vape. Unless you are completely self-sustaining, paying rent, etc., and have no legal ties to them in any way (like health insurance, etc.) then it's not fair kind or just to subject THEM to possible fines and imprisonment and whatever else since they are the owners of their home, not you. I would think hard about that if I were you and the first scenario is the case. Whether you have a good relationship with your parents or not, jeopardizing THEIR well being (financially, legally or otherwise) then you really should consider not vaping, or at LEAST letting them know, so they can decide (if there are risks involved) whether or not THEY wish to take them. Some countries have laws on the books that are rather draconian.
I would come clean. My parents HATED that I smoked at age 18, but I did not hide it. I bought my own tobacco. It was legal, etc. We came to an uneasy compromise, but I wasn't jeopardizing their well being in any way, and my father was a smoker (although not at that time).
Seems to me there are bigger issues here than the nickel, and I rather find that if one tries to do anything "illicitly" there tends to be a lot more anxiety and eventual nasty fall out than just being upfront.

You have a choice, you can believe the folks on here who essentially know little to nothing, are not doctors but give you their uneducated opinions. Make your choice, an internet forum of the unknowing or a physician. I have no idea what might happen to your parents if they learn you vape but you make the situation, deal with it. Where in the name of heaven do you live?
