Hi, this is my first post on this forum. I recieved my first e-cig last night and was anxious to try it. I tried differant techniques to draw in the vapor and then tried all of the differant flavors i had bought. Each were 26 mg nicotine when i was finished i had a cig and headed to bed. I think i did overdose with nicotine, when i got in bed i was hot yet my whole body was shaking uncontrollably. This wore off after 40 minutes or so. When i woke up my sheets were sweaty. I have smoked full flavor newport for 30 years. Not sure what happened to me but it sure did scare me a bit.

Keep in mind that nicotine is a stimulant...like caffeine. I have found that if I have a caffinated drink right before bed, my brain doesn't want to shut off and I get something akin to restless leg syndrome.

Also keep in mind that 26mg is per ml of liquid, not per puff.

There is a difference between overdoing something and overdosing. You also said that you had a cig right after trying all the different flavors...that may have contributed to your problem.

I am certainly no doctor, but having had a similar experience with vaping too much, right after I get new juice in and want to try all the different flavors, its like chain smoking 3 or 4 cigs.

Whats UP Vaper World!!Mr.Smoke here again,I would like to see all Suppliers have the CHILD PROOF bottles.That is a safer way to keep little kids out of them.
(REMEMBER:)Still KEEP THEM AWAY FROM CHILDREN.

THANKS VAPER WORLD!
Good post, KARL. And on that note I'd like to add using the term "juice" around kids and talking about the flavors is a disaster in the making.
