scarey side effects happening??

[Pooky]

Since I have been vaping...I am a chain vapor just as I was a smoker...something is making me sleepy to nausea to numbing feeling. Like when you get a Novocain shot and touch the area it is numb but funky feeling. I do NOT want to go back to 4 pack a day habit but since I was pretty sick from smoking 9 months ago this feels serious too. I use stevia, and DIY to make sure I do not get diecytle or something like that. There has to be more than I that are feeling some weirdness once in awhile. To help we need to be honest...please. I also at times will get cramps and jerks, so I keep up on my fluids. If anyone has encountered anything like this please write.

Nope none of those problems here but it has been suggested many times on here some people just react badly to PG. There are a ton of juice suppliers that are diacetyl free. There is even a list on here I would try one of them and try 100vg. Before any of that I would probably see a doctor as well since those symptoms seem serious and could be a sign of something else.

sleepy to nausea to numbing feeling sounds like boarder line nicotine poisoning. that means it time to put the PV down for a few hours. i chain vape as well at 2.5 MG per mL in a dripping rig that produces a decent amount of vapor. i vape for about an hour and put it down for while. i use about about 1 or 2 mL in that hour. just stop vaping for a while or if you DIY try using very little nicotine.

That seems really serious, as mentioned above it could be from PG. How long has it been since a real cig? 4 packs a day sounds crazy and I'm wondering if its some withdrawals.

it could also be PG intolerance. but it sounds like the OP has been vaping for quite a while and these effects are new to him.

I didn't think of that but when i first got a kayfun i was still vaping at 24mg, i didn't cut it back like you're supposed to. I remember feeling light headed and really nauseated. Cutting down the nic helped me out.

i think hes saying he has not had an analog in 9 months. correct me if im wrong.

 

[Jonny_B]

Perhaps that could be it! I just read it as getting sick around that time.

 

[Steam Turbine]

I usually never comment on these kind of threads because I am no doctor.... But this seems serious. Cut down the nic lvl of your juice and see a doctor. Don't look for diagnostics on a forum.

 

[Scarey]

Scaey side-effects I think you mean "scary." Not me... That said, you're getting too much nicotine. in your case, 4 P.A.D., you might want to consider hauling a few different strengths. Heavy for hard cravings, medium for chain vaping, and light or 0-nic for the times you overdo it.

 

[zahzoo]

I would strongly suggest you reduce your nicotine content in whatever juice you are consuming. You mentioned DIY...

Whatever strength of nicotine you are using... cut it in half at least. See how you feel... if not better reduce PG and increase VG. But the symptoms you mention sound like you are getting too, too much nicotine.

 

[MaliceMouse]

I had the exact same symptoms, I still get them from time to time. I've given myself nicotine poisoning before from not paying attention to how much I was vaping. Slow with the chain vaping, I'm guilty of it, the same way I was a chain smoker for 28 years. I went up to a higher nic level, sounds crazy but it slowed me down. I have 24, 18, 16, 12, 8 and 0 I only hit the 24 for three vapes or so on the worst of days. If it's your all day juice I suggest a low nicotine level. I have bought my favorite in multiple strengths so I don't go nuts and vape 3 mls of 24 nic in 3 hours.

 

[Rickajho]

Pooky you left out way to much info for us to even hazard a guess as to what is going on. The most important aspect here - your liquids - you provided next to no information about.

What PG/VG ratio are you making up?
What nic level?
Are you testing that nic level in your DIY stuff?
What is your estimate of how many ml's of liquid you are using per day?
What flavorings are you using?
What hardware are you using to vape this stuff?

 

[erinarthur222]

I had to take PG out because it was making me sick, also what MG nicotine are u vaping ? and last but not least you will suffer some withdrawal from cigs. But I did not get any numbness from any of these .I just felt like I had flu bug.

 

[gchirki]

Sounds like nicotine overdose. Cut down on your nic or your vaping and cut out PG. Once i cut back on PG i started having less headaches. I had to cut my nic back because i was vaping so much but as Sam suggested it would be a very good idea to ​see a doctor because those could be symptoms of a lot of things from hypoglycemia to nerve issues. Good luck and God bless

Since I have been vaping...I am a chain vapor just as I was a smoker...something is making me sleepy to nausea to numbing feeling. Like when you get a Novocain shot and touch the area it is numb but funky feeling. I do NOT want to go back to 4 pack a day habit but since I was pretty sick from smoking 9 months ago this feels serious too. I use stevia, and DIY to make sure I do not get diecytle or something like that. There has to be more than I that are feeling some weirdness once in awhile. To help we need to be honest...please. I also at times will get cramps and jerks, so I keep up on my fluids. If anyone has encountered anything like this please write.

Sounds like you are getting too much nicotine, which is likely when you are a chain vaper. If you can't put it down, find some 0 nic or low nic juice to vap on at certain times of the day. I find that I need the high nic throughout the day, but in the evenings, it is best for me to use lower nic. Because in the evenings, I'm just sitting here reading or on the computer and I will also chain vape.

I used to get a "numb feeling" when I watched Ahgelina Jolie in "foxfire".......

 

[ElConquistador]

My first thought was overdosing on nic. Are you positive that you're mixing the nic levels correctly since you're making DIY juice? I think I would go buy some pre-mixed liquid that's maybe 12 or 18 ml strength and see if it helps.

It sounds like the symptoms of a heart attack or stroke to me. See a doctor for sure ASAP.

I had a few withdrawals from smoking cessation, but nothing to that extent.

I also suggest putting the vape down in between sessions for a bit. Sounds a bit like nicotine overload.
