Nicotine overdose tingling cold limbs Help

[BigCap]

so about 2 hours ago I was making a bunch of 30 mil bottles of ejuice. I chain vape pretty much all day at 3mg. I have a 500ml bottle of 12mg nic that I was cutting down to 3mg in 7 bottles. I usually make 3-4 and I am fine. But I had the bottle opened for about 15 minutes. And I wore gloves and I was in my garage (but no ventilation). I made sure nothing spilled on me, however some did get on the tips of my gloves and I do sweat when I am DIY'ing...oh I washed my hands after handling the nic also. Well about 15 minutes after I was finished with the nic, I noticed my left pinky started tingling/cold. I didn't think anything of it. Then about 20 minutes later it traveled up my left arm. I started freaking out. Now I have a severe anxiety disorder so I'm in full blow panic as I am typing. It has also traveled now to my right arm and right hand, and both feet. I do not feel nauseous or dizzy at the moment. (About 2 hours later). I seem to be getting better, then I will get a fast heart rate and start going into panic mode. This has happened a couple times now. I really would appreciate if any fellow friends and vapors could help ease my mind a bit.

I have drank plenty of water, I just now managed to eat 5 crackers and a spoonful of sugar as I read that helps.

Hopefully someone can ease my mind over here as to how long this usually last for as I amfreaking out.

I just don't get it, and I have been DIy'ing for over a year now, never has this happened before.

Thank you in advance, any help is greatly appreciated.

Btw, I am freezing cold and not hot or sweaty at all. It seems to dim down some, and then all of the symptoms seem to come back. That happened about 3 or 4 times now. I have scoured the net and can't reallyfigure this all out. I really didn't want to come on here and bother anyone with something silly that could be a slight nic od & major panic. I just would like some reassurance that I am not dying (as crazy as this may sound) I am super paranoid when it comes to handling the nicotine that's why I always get the lowest possible concentrate when I order....

First 12mg is not very high, I can't see absorption through the skin being an issue at that level unless one was submerged.

You might be simply vaping too much at 3mg.

 

[BigCap]

Thanks for the reply, I was thinking the same thing as far as the absorption, as it was only on my gloves, and I did wash my hands right away. I honestly think it's the fumes from having it open for about 15 minutes straight, and being in my garage, with no darn ventilation....I have been fine with the 3mg never get light headed or anything like that...

 

[BigCap]

Does anyone know how long this nic od will last? Or if I should worry about very serious OD problems kicking in (such as sick feeling, dizziness vomiting)? I wish I could fall asleep, but My mind is wandering and my panic seems to come in spurts with all of the symptoms as well.

Try drinking a soda, or swallowing 1-2 teaspoons of sugar, or put a teaspoon of sugar under your tongue and let it dissolve. The sugar will help speed the nic through your system. But honestly, I can't see 12mg doing anything that bad. You must be incredibly sensitive.

 

[BigCap]

Thank you very much for your response, it's very comforting in a time like this. I will do another spoonful of sugar now. I am extremely sensitive to caffeine, and any type of stimulant. I get horrible panic attacks from even small doses of caffeine.

This is what I was thinking. I can't imagine 12mg evaporating even in a small closet, enough to cause od.

Also, it was mentioned these feelings came back, that does not coincide with nic poisoning, unless you are continuing to intake too high of nic levels.

I'm curious, if there is a gas water heater in your garage? Or another mechanical device which might be not properly venting carbon monoxide.

NO... your presumption is not correct.
Did you perhaps miss your anxiety meds?

Thank you guys. I don't have a gas water heater in my garage, and it is a 1 car garage. So that's why I was thinking fumes, as it does burn my eyes a little even when the nic bottle is opened.

But I do have a hot water heater in a closet right near the garage, but I did have the garage door shut, and the basement door, and the closet door that the hot water heater is in is also shut.

I did skip a dose last night, but earlier today, and tonight I took my normal dosage. I just don't understand how the tingling started in my pinky, and now has shifted to other places, almost 3 hours later now since that started. I am sure my anxiety disorder has a lot to do with this.

I also did test the nic before using it, so it was definitely between 10-14mg, and I have vaped a good amount of it so far with no ill side effects.

I did cut the grass earlier today, and my sons bounce house is deflated in there with one of those blow up machines that was just taken out of the box today and used for the first time, There is also a gas can, Thats pretty much it aside from my vape supplies on the shelves.

The sugar seems to help a little bit I have noticed. I would head over to the ER if it, but unfortunately I can't afford that at the moment. The symptoms are all still the same, sometimes it's more intense, sometimes hardly any cold tingles. Right now I guess with the sugar it's helped a bit where it's certainly less intense.

Also, I do not feel the urge to vape at all, and I am a chain vapor at 3mg. I go through about 7-10ml a day. For the past 3+ hours, I have put it on the charger, and haven't felt the need to pick it up since, actually the thought of it turns my stomach a little.

 

[mudmanc4]

As Cindycated mentioned, 12mg is rather low.
I vaped 24mg for years. In fact I still do each morning. Wait, I am right now

Maybe you should try and forget about it, even if you did accidentally vape the 12 mg, it'll be out of your system in no time.

If you have other heath issues, it might be a good time to relax and make sure your doing everything you should be

Have you switched equipment lately? I had to drop my nic when I went from Spinners and Evods to mechs and RBAs, because it was so much more efficient at delivering nic and flavor. Then I had to drop it down again when I switched to rayon from cotton yarn, because that was more efficient too. If you've made any changes to your vaping gear, maybe you do need to drop your nic down even lower than the 3mg you're using now.

Thank you, I definitely haven't vaped 12mg, I think I am just extremely sensitive to the DIY nicotine base. It seems every time I open that sucker, whether it's 100% pg Nic base, or 100% Vg Nic base, it burns the heck outta my eyes every time.

I definitely have something going on here. I sure wish I could get to the bottom of it and not feel like I don't know if I am going to die from a nicotine overdose or not.

I will keep looking around the Internet, it just is a very weird feeling and having the anxiety/ptsd/ panic attacks, sure don't help at all.

I am definitely feeling a little relaxed talking to you guys, and gals. You all are helping keep my mind at eas. I really thank you so much, you all are very kind, it means a lot

 

[mudmanc4]

Well next time, even if it's cold, open the garage door a bit on the bottom is that possible?

Though, it strikes me a bit that you can vape ~3mg but not smell a multiple of 4.
I've got here a bit of 100mg, or 10%, and unless you cram your beak into it, it does not evaporate to the ambient air. Even then, sure, you can smell it a bit, but hardly.

12g definitely won't kill you, no matter how sensitive you are. Worrying about it might.

Yep, I know exactly what you mean. I was vaping at 6mg when I first started with mouth to lung inhales. I have a sub tank mini that I use most of the day around 13-15 watts (lung inhales) at 3mg. I chain vape that thing all day it seems. I also have a couple of rda's that I have been cranking up to around 40 watts using 3mg recently.

I was using the sub tank for about an hour before I started mixing. Maybe it was a combination of fumes, and already having a little bit of Nic in my system. I did eat some more sugar and it is noticeably helping.

I am keeping hope alive that I don't get that burst of cold/tingling/numb feeling back again, as it is still there but definitely low at the moment.

Thanks so much for you all checking back on me, I probably would be sitting up in the ER right now it wasn't for good caring people like you all
