Question regarding headaches?

[sailorneptune01]

Hey Sailor...I used to vape 18mg I'd ignore the headache but the palpitation got my attention *lol*

backed it down to a 12mg for the normal vape, a 6mg for chain vaping and one tank for 18mg that's almost empty for early morning nicotine emergencies *lol*

somewhere between the headache and my heart jumping there was supposed to be nausea..but "old cast iron" didn't do that.

good luck!

Thanks! I'm still vaping 18, but much less frequently. Today seems to be going ok. I was vaping 5ml/day of 18, that was fine until I sub ohm vaped 18 heavily yesterday, overdid it. Today is much better and I think this is working better for me. I'm vaping less 18 today, and vaping less in general as well. Now that I've had slight nicotine poisoning once, I think I'll be more careful in the future... A little nervous about that happening again! Lol

I'm really glad to hear that it's mostly the habit part, and not so much the nicotine level. I'm seeing more and more that with different hardware, I'll need very different nicotine levels.

Yea, once the -ohhh new shiny tank, must buy- wears off and ya settle on a couple faves you quickly get your everyday levels figured out

Yep. If youve already made it past the first couple of weeks of quitting smoking, your body should be rid of the addiction of all the other crap that was in cigs to keep you smoking. The nic is NOTHING compared to that. Just take it easy and dont give yourself nic poisoning! The hard parts over so just enjoy the ride and get settled in and eventually youll find your happy medium. We were all there at one point but luckily theres a place like this where you can actually get decent informed and experienced advice..

Yup, its all mental now, your walking away from a friend, bad day? Still had a smoke, breakup? Still had a smoke. Bored? Fire up another one. Good times, bad times, highlights and lowpoints, that CIG was always there. And thats the real addiction, walking away from that crutch ain't easy.

well, if you are having stomach cramps and its not that time of month. stomach cramps are another sign of too much nicotine. something to maybe narrow it down. When I had nicotine poisoning, first the headaches, then sort of dizziness and stomach cramps.

You can try mixing your eliquids with pg or vg to dilute your nicotine content, but vape the same amount of mL you usually do. See if that changes anything after a while, then you know it quite possibly might be your nicotine intake is too high and you may need to lower your nic mg level.

General nausea or queasiness is another symptom. I definitely get that when I chain vape. Headaches not so much. But I guess the effects vary from person to person.
