Do any of you feel like nicotine is affecting your heart? I feel like it does mine and get small pains here and there. I also have high blood pressure and this just makes it worse. What sucks is I love vaping. I thought nicotine was rather harmless like caffeine and I think the web tells a different story....hmmmmm

Nicotine, in moderation can be rather benign... much like caffeine. And like caffeine, too much too fast can cause side effects. Don't over-stimulate! What strength is your juice, how much do you vape in a sitting and in what?
I vape 12mg in an ego/EVOD combo no problem... In my Phoenix V7 Micro-Coiled at 1.8 on my MVP and I have to take it S-L-O-W! (I'm gonna need to take it down to around 6mg for dripping.) I haven't had that kind of a Nic-head rush since I quit the smokes. :blink:
There are many variables in vaping my man!

Nicotine is rather harmless, very similar to caffeine. BOTH are not great for your heart.

Here's my story. I had prehypertension numbers as a smoker. When I switched using 11mg my heart rate dropped and BP dropped. I went to 0mg and it was about the same on my heart rate and BP.
The lack of smoking allowed Ulcerative Colitis to come up.
Once diagnosed I added nicotine back and increased it to 18mg. My heart rate and BP are erratic but I see numbers similar to when I was smoking, although I also see numbers similar to when they were low.
I think the meds I'm on for UC can also contribute to these things.

Too much PG gives me lung pain.

    My Ulcerative Colitis ( quitter's disease) came out about 6mths after I started vaping/ quit smoking. So when I started having Those DR. visits, they discovered my HP. I was 190/something. I was trying to get to zero nic and quit vaping- so I was at 3mg/ml. at that time. For me HP is also hereditary.

    I'm now on two HP meds ( and a slew of UC meds) and vape at 12mg/ml. and am fine now.

    ( Thinking of trying 18mg/ml to get off some UC meds )

    as above me, get some unflavored liquid, and you will last a looonnnng time. or look around on the forums for people that are looking to trade. so many people jump between levels that surely someone wants to trade a lower mg liquid for your 18's.

    Cut them with either the same flavors at 0mg/ml or get some plain PG or VG and use that; however, with the latter method you'll be diluting the flavor also.
