Nicotine Overdose Off 6mg

[shoesmith87]

I currently vape 18mg and can only handle about 10 vapes before being satisfied.

Thinking of using 6mg as a chill out vapour to use in the evenings whilst watching tv.

I'm a 20 plus smoker and plan on switching to ecigs 100% and wanted to know if I chugged on a 6mg juice for an hour non stop what's the chances of Nicotine Overdose?

Probably slim to none..

You'd have to keep vaping past the nausea and tremors and irregular heartbeat and hampered breathing before you would start to run the danger of ODing. What I find is that, if you vape liquid that is 1/3 the strength, you will just vape more of it until you feel satisfied and then stop naturally before you reach the OD stage. If it takes 10 vapes of 18mg for you to feel satisfied, it should presumably take 30 vapes of 6mg before you would have ingested the same amount of nic.

A nonsmoker would have to consume ~100ml of 6mg/ml within that hour to have a chance at overdose effects.

The current LD50 is estimated to be 120mg for nonsmokers and 240+ for smokers (all though newer studies propose this number is false since its extrapolated from mice and could be 10 times as much)
Also you would be lucky if 20% of the nicotine in the juice actually reached your bloodstream
Also nicotine gets metabolized in 3 hours at which point you can give it another go!

I compiled a description of an average nicotine overdose(based on real world observations) for a local forum a while ago, ill translate it here:

15 min
nausea
light headedness
vomiting
........

30 min
elevated pulse
elevated blood pressure
hyperventilation

40 min
cardiac arrythmia
pulmonary hypertension

60 min
cramps
death

Provided medical assistance during the overdose usually means full recovery, also i think most people claiming to be dizzy or nauseous from nicotine are getting these symptoms from something else, either a placebo or intolerance to some other chemical since it really takes a lot of ejuice to make you overdose on nicotine.

I'm a nonsmoker and chain-vape 6mg in a dripper all day with no side effects (I work from home). However I'm vaping around 1.2ohms - it might be a different story if you sub-ohm

I can vape 3 mg juice all day long without ever feeling truly satisfied... So i have a tank with 15mg juice in it for when i want the nic kick

Use 0mg in the evenings. If you need a nic hit thrown on your nic tank or dripper and a take a hit or two then go back to your 0mgs.

His makes for interesting reading. You have put my mind at rest. Am finding nicotine free vaper just tastes awful. All I can taste is the VG. Finding 18mg is great for when I craving smokes and 6mg in between.

Thanks for the advice everyone!

I don't think you'll have enough time in a day to be able to "OD" on vaping 6mg. I chain vape 6mgs all day and have for over two years.

I'm a 6 mg chain vapor. I started at this level simply because for me, it's the hand to mouth and inhaling/exhaling activity that kept me on the analogs. I knew that if I started at a higher level I would probably make myself sick. When I say I chain vape, I mean I CHAIN vape and I have yet to get any real negative effects other than occasionally I'll feel a little bit of a headache starting and I know I need to back off for a bit.

Based on my own experience, I would say your plan is a sound one.

 

[JeremyR]

Your good at 6 and should be able to chain vape it all day. I had a similar issue with 18... I can vape 12 all Day with no problems. N

I vape at 6 nic all day with no problems and no cravings and I admit to being a chain vaper.

Nicotine overdose is a very serious thing, but fortunately, your body will let you know long before it happens if you're ingesting nicotine via vapor and not via drinking the liquid. If you get a headache, dizziness, nausea, or tremors, put your vape down. The good news is that this is highly unlikely, as (would post link but forgot where I found this info) it takes about a half hour of vaping 12mg juice to get the equivalent of one cigarette's worth of buzz. If you're vaping 6mg, there's definitely no need to worry about overdose unless you ingest the liquid orally or drip it in your eyes or something like that.

 

[shoesmith87]

Thanks for this. As a smoker I normally smoke every half an hour. So guessing 18mg is good for cravings and 6mg for chain vaping?

I vape 6mg all day. Some days almost 20ml. Worst I've experienced is a headache.

I use 6 mg when I lung hit. I'll burn through 5 mls in about an hour. Never got sick once.

At 6mg/ml you really have to make a serious effort to OD via vaping.

I vape 18-20mg/ml. Very rarely I notice a very slight nausea building. At that point I no longer feel like vaping. That's all there is to it, really. I believe that when people talk about OD-ing on vape, they mainly refer to this very sensation. A slight nausea. Maybe a little headache. And a considerably lowered desire to vape more for the time being. Not anywhere near the kind of OD people do on other stuff. Just "too much nic, I'm stopping", not "I'm dying and need immediate medical attention".

A nonsmoker would have to consume ~100ml of 6mg/ml within that hour to have a chance at overdose effects.

 

[certus11]

weak sauce OD even on two mg

 

[SuperLamer]

I sub ohm 6mg and after chain vaping for about an hour I get a bit of a headache.
