Stomach pain while vaping?

[Nancy D]

Doesn't even need to be sub ohm. I had to reduce from 6mg to 3mg when I started on rta's.
Using coils over 1 ohm like 1.4-1.6 ohm. Use a blood pressure cuff at home to see what nic can do to blood pressure.

And adding caffeine to the mix makes it worse imo.
How do RTAs affect nic intake, I wonder. More gets in or something?

I’m generally not a conspiracy theorist....but, so far, the op has mentioned vaping to look cool, vaping causing stomach pain, vaping for the buzz, addiction and how harmful nicotine is for people....

Sometimes I wish the doors to ECF had a big ol lock on em.

He’s basically everything we’re trying to disassociate ourselves with.

But sometimes I wonder if they can grok what not to do. And really change, as well. My husband would tell me not to bother!

Just 2 cents -

Not that long ago we were super impressed with regulated mods that could fire in the 3-15 watt range. 15 watts? Wow! But... we were also running tanks with tiny +1 ohm coils. Vaping 12mg or 18mg juice was semi-reasonable because that gear put out small amounts of vapor by comparison with today's popular sub-ohm gear.

I strongly agree with the sentiments above. If you are using sub-ohm gear that vaporizes massive amounts of juice, for your own health sake, you need to adjust nicotine dosage down to the 6mg to 3mg range (0mg is a good goal too, but that can come later). Keep in mind those values apply to classic ejuice, aka freebase nicotine.

What has changed is the introduction of nicotine salt. I won't rewrite the changes to nicotine salt, but that type of juice often comes in higher concentrations of nicotine, delivers nicotine into the body quickly, is meant to be vaped at low power, small coil, and the important part... it's meant to be vaped a few puffs at a time, then put it down for a while.

Nicotine poisoning is a real thing. I am convinced vaping is better than smoking, but people still need to use these products wisely. If there is any negative to vaping, it's just that it's all too easy to over vape. With ciggys there is a sort of built-in impediment, my lungs hurt, I am coughing, my mouth tastes like crap, I am going to put the smokes down for a while. With vaping, more of the responsibility is on the user to slow down.

Really the same safety instinct should ideally kick in with vaping. I’ve only been nic sick once @ a month ago, but I’ve only been off smokes for a few months and I tried a higher mg juice. I was feeling shaky, amped up and headache-y. I’d be scared if I had any symptoms like he had. Kids kinda think they’re indestructible, though. I’ve removed my bunch of twigs from that fire...

I'd guess just because they are more efficient.

I have no tolerance ....
If you started vaping in the belief that it looked cool you were sadly mistaken in your belief.
If you vape for a 'buzz' then you have picked one of the worst methods ever.
If you believe vaping is causing you health problems (although you stated that your problems started before vaping) then stop.
Congratulations, you pushed all my buttons

not to fullness

LOL. Which might lead to discorporation!

I vape for buzz, yes but my brain is really hooked on it. I mostly vape because I'm addicted.

I don't really thinking of vaping as something cool anymore. It's a just a habit. It's nice to blow big clouds I guess but I'm done with that phase

Before I started I used to smoke a few cigs a few times a week. Then my friend showed me vaping and I thought of it as a way to smoke indoors.

I still smoke a cig every once in a while, but I mostly vape because I have asthma and I'd rather vape then get cancer. I get it, vaping saves lives and we need to keep vaping going because most of you I assume are ex smokers and vaping is a way out. Vaping is a better alternative if you don't wanna smoke tobacco but Id rather tell people to use 0mg juices because nicotine is a nasty habit and the buzz doesn't matter.

I'm my own experience, rebuildable vs off the shelf makes less difference to me than the duration of contact between vapor and mouth/sinuses. I seem to get far more nic in a low watt pod style vs a RDA with open air, even with the same juice, as I find clouds more satisfying than the nic, apparently, and so i inhale longer on smaller devices.
