The "foggy" head feeling

[xrcv]

So, I've been vaping for two months now and I can't help but notice this "strange" head feeling that comes from it. I did a search on the forum and found several names for this, including "foggy", spacey, heavy, reeling, stuffy and more.. I have read that this is attributed to too much nic, but the only way to avoid this for me is to vape about once every two hours or more(which I'm rarely able to do ). I'm not even using a strong e-juice, most of the time I vape 16 or 8 mg. Has anyone else experienced this and could it be caused by something other than nicotine?

Back in the 60s I used to pay good money to get that foggy headed feeling.
The only thing I can think of would be too much nic. How much did you smoke before you started vaping? One other thing I could think of is that you may be sensitive to PG.

Yes i must admit in the three weeks since i been vaping i've gone through a headache phase (about 10 days) and i do occasionally get a "foggy" head. I only vape about three good chuggs at a time now. This has happened totally naturally. I seem to be settling into a rythym that has me toking about three maybe four tokes every 20 mins/half hour. It has helped with everything. This is how i vape. I haven't aimed to vape this way. this is where my vaping has evolved to. And i have no symptoms of anything now.
Perhaps this will happen to you when you vape in a way that is unconscieously right for you.
I vape 24mg nicotine in a tobacco flavour. I don't vape too deep because the throat hit can be too ,much. So i try and draw light and not too long. Then my hit and nic intake is just about right for me. Couple of more weeks and i'll reduce the nic to 18 mg. I'll probably have to chugg harder at first to make up for te reduced nic. But the i'll be looking, after a couple of weeks, to lighten my tokes. and so on ...and so on....
I think your body adjusts to how you vape. Give it time. (unless it's overwhelming headache then get it checked out).
AS long as your off of analogs and your getting enough nic to keep you calm then you're winning.
I hope you work this out. And i wish you every success.

PGA (Pure Grain Alchohol) will do it also. Lot of vendors use it in VG mixes to thin it down, used also on thick flavoring mixes. It in DK tab as well.

So it was for me when I moved to be cigarettes, but I went through a day or two and now everything is ok. Now I use 24mg liquid for all day vaping

I've found through experimentation that I like 70pg/30vg best. If I get too much nic, it's a dizzy feeling with a little brain fog and slight nausea. I know to back off at that point, although it can take a couple of hours for it to go completely away.

I actually like that foggy feeling. It feels like getting high without impairing your mental abilities. Having it right now, with my new self built 3.7 mod box from MadVapes and some 24 mg RY4. Must be the voltage.

i got a major head fog and high pitch ringing 'tween my ears from dekang liquids. i have also noticed when i vape too much i get the same effect....but nothing like the dekang. i did just get a shipment of BWB liquids and its quite a bit more mellow, less head fog (same nic level)

I have found I can over-nic myself on any level of nicotine if I vape too much. And headache and foggy are not he worst thing that can happen - it can mess with your blood pressure and cause rapid or irregular heartbeats.

You need to either vape less or vape lower nic. Have you tried 12mg instead of the 16mg? And I don't let myself vape constantly. At home I leave the ecigs in another room unless I will be stuck in one other part of the house or outside for a while and then I bring one with me. At work they are on my desk but I set them down. Now I even carry a couple of zero nic cartos with me so if I am vaping a lot I can pop that on and not get over-nicced.
