Hello,

I recently went from 18MG 50PG/50VG to the next level of 25MG but instead of 50PG/50VG I went to 70PG/30VG and boy I notices a difference first I get dehydrated then I start vomiting. Why is this and will these symptoms last or is it just for a few days then once my body get's use to it will either die down or go away gradually?

Just out of curiosity, how many ml's of e juice did you vape before you got sick? I seriously hope you weren't sub ohming that s**t. It is insane that a non smoker would vape such a high strength nic. I was a pack a day smoker and the 18mg that I started on was too strong for me. There is no reason at all for you to be using ANY nicotine. I got the impression from your post that you think you should be 'leveling up' on your nic. My advice would be to cut your losses with the e liquid that you bought and buy some 0mg nic liquid before you vape again.

Why would a vape shop sell him 24 mg,is it all about sells or did the op not tell them everything that he wrote in his post about being a non-smoker?

Because the customer asked for 24mg juice and the customer is Always right. I doubt the Vape shop CLERK, knew if the customer was a smoker or how much they might have smoked. I've never had one ask me about my smoking history. Heck I never met anybody at a Vape shop that knew much more about vaping than what the suppliers told them about the product they sell. Sure the people at the shop may all be vapers, but their knowledge tends to be, limited to the vape in their hand and the juices they use themselves. Heck I have 2 shops here in town that make their own juices along with the about 50 brands they sell. nNeither shop had anybody working for them that had ever even heard of NET type juices. And one of these shops is a tobaccanist shop. No cigarettes, but pipe, cigar and roll your own tobacco. They didn't know you could make juice flavored with real tobacco.

Do you assume everybody at the hardware store or autoparts store knows everything or anything about the products they sell?

Just to try since i was use to 18mg wanted to know what 24mg would be like and now i know its unsafe for me. Too bad the retailer will not offer exchange since i purchased 4 bottles different flavors but all 24mg with 70pg/30vg
If you choose to use nicotine, that is up to you, assuming you are of legal age to purchase it wherever you live. As has been said, the amount of nicotine you are using is more normally used by someone who was a heavy smoker, and usually someone using the older, less efficient devices like cartomizers and early clearomizers.

You have learned, first hand, what happens when you take in too much nicotine. Much like you would learn what happens if you went from being a casual beer drinker to consuming a liter of vodka in a night. Luckily, the symptoms tend to pass fairly quickly.

Be safe out there.

Before vaped you didnt smoke? Then 18mg to start? Then 24mg to see what it would be like? Im glad you came and ask but just WHAT the heck are you looking for out of it? Im a bit nervous for you.
If you didnt have a habit of smoking you should be fine with 0 nic but stay the heck away from 24mg. If you are sub ohm vaping go very very low. Like 3mg or something.
Coming here was a good choice,but please continue to read up before you end up hurting yourself.

This thread seems counterintuitive to me. I was a pack-a-day smoker for years and started out with 18mg juice. I still have most of those first bottles of 18mg sitting in my juice box. I couldn't vape them then without getting a ridiculous headache and dang sure couldn't vape them now that I've been at 6mg for almost a year.

Vaping, as a hobby, is all well and good in my opinion, but starting vaping and getting and getting a nicotine addiction which he/she didn't have before - which the OP will most likely do if he sticks at it long enough - just doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me. I wish I never got started with tobacco to begin with. I enjoy vaping, but would rather have never needed it altogether.

Not that I'm encouraging anyone to pick up nicotine, but there is a big difference between using nic in vaping(or NRT) and smoking.

The Great Nicotine Myth

From everything that we know so far, using nicotine without the presence of tobacco, if you have never used tobacco, should not develop into physical dependence.

There is also nothing inherently dangerous about nicotine, for an otherwise healthy person, unless you overdose.

There tends to be some confusion when I, or others, say that vaping with nic doesn't lead to addiction. So I just want to try to clear it up a little bit.

If you were a smoker/tobacco user, you likely already have an addiction. For some it is to the nicotine, for most it is a combination of the nicotine, the habit, AND the other compounds present in tobacco like MAOI's. That combination creates the addiction and nicotine by itself can help curb the cravings for many people.

If you have never smoked or otherwise used tobacco, and you start vaping with nicotine, it is like you are starting with NRT. You are not getting the other compounds present in tobacco. Though it hasn't been studied specifically, there are indications from other studies using nicotine therapeutically with non-smokers, that they do not develop a physical dependence to nicotine.

Not really directed at you Waxxiii, just wanted to put that out there.
