Strange sickness- right back to analogs =(

[Vedra]

So... the really intense nauasea seems to have subsided for now. Between fits I have been reading about nicotine absorption. I think I may be vaping "wrong." By that, I mean that I take loooong full hits(often killing the 5 second shut-off and then some), and almost always let them stew in my mouth, throat, and sinus a good few seconds before inhaling, and almost always slowly exhale with very little force. This is how I smoke lighter analog cigs. With vaping, I often exhale very little vapor at all, and much of it cycles right back up my nose when it does exit my mouth. This realization put me to thinking about another phenomena I have seen other people suffer through.

People who smoke beefy cigars and strong pipe tobaccos can experience prolonged absorption of nicotine that resides in the residue of the smoke that coats the mouth,throat, and sinus after exhaling the original smoke. Im thinking I may not only be experiencing a similar effect, but that my constant water intake may be rinsing this residue down into my tummy, where I've been having the most trouble. To be honest, I hadn't thought of this before, but the feeling is very similar to swallowing saliva while using nicotine gum, no smoke tobaccos, or smoking a mean cigar and swallowing too often. In my particular case, this tends to come on a little slower, but last a bit longer as well.

I 'd like to hear more from you fine folks about your particular behavior while vaping. Especially folks like myself who have spent half or more of their lives smoking analogs. Happy vaping, and thanks for your input!

You were fine until you vaped the bloog cartos? Probably the bloog cartos.

Stick to the BWB fresh juice and fill them yourself. I think prefilled cartos are pretty gross.

I think you got a batch of bad cartos. I don't know how they fill their cartos, by machine or by hand. Maybe something else was in the machine before they started refilling new cartos. Who knows. When in doubt throw it out.

I've been out of pre-filled carts for a week or more. At this point it's all bwb and alien through blank carts.

Well then I'm having a problem following your posts. I thought you said in your first post that you became ill immediatly after you vaped your new cartos.

Sorry it was your new juice and empty cartos

Hello all! I started vaping 2 weeks ago after ordering a starter kit from bloog. before it arrived in the mail, i purchased a few square 82 red disposables from the smoke shop nearby to tide me over and start weening myself away from smoking. i fully enjoyed the disposables for a few days until my kit arrived, and pretty much went into instant pacifier mode with the 16mg pre-filled cartos that I ordered with it (grape and ry4). I would also occasionally switch to some of the 24mg "tobacco sampler" cartos that came with the kit as well, but i mostly just chain vaped all day at 16mg. I would occasionally switch to the 24mg carts (ry4, 555, Red, Kamel, and menthol) and be perfectly fine vaping those for hours at a time.

I was totally fine for more than a week, thoroughly enjoying my new obsession, when some new juice and empty cartos arrived from bloog. it was a 24mg RY4 which i immediately put into a fresh blank carto. within moments of my first drags i got sick. really sick. Nausea, dizziness, ........, and a general tightness in the chest. Felt like a stomach flu. I pretty much slept, pooped, and drank water until the next day, when i realized that the chest discomfort i was still experiencing was really just terrible heartburn.

To me, it sounded like something about the juice made you sick. I'd throw it away.

throw that ry4 you got away...i got a few juices that are gross and went into the trash...good thing they were sample size

save the bottles!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Glad you got it figured out! Going from 18 mg to 36 mg is a big jump - no wonder you felt ill. If I overdo my 24 I get nauseaus, and I smoked 2 PAD!

Me too, been vaping a bit heavy last few days due to hols and getting some chest pain, cold like symptoms, It may be my e liquid which is from China. Recently ordered some DV, still waiting for it. Hope that is better.

So far, I have found that all my "scary" chest pain from vaping has been heartburn. Especially from the Chinese juices. Try some antacids and cold water, see if it helps.

Thanks, maybe ive not been drinking enough water
