Hello everyone....new here....I have lots of questions and I have tried to research these questions but will leave it for the big dogs...first one for now....after properly filling you e-cig with ejuice...is the nicotine evenly distributed and can you get to much at once...overdose...really is not what I am looking for but get to much...how would you know....and is there anyway you could vape too much? Thanks....please excuse the simplicity.

Hi and welcome to ECF. If you start to get headaches while vaping it's usually a sign of Nic OD. Vaping is a very inefficient way of nicotine delivery compared to smoking- most of the nicotine enters the bloodstream via the mouth and/ or the nasal area if inhaling/ exhaling through the nose.
Cheers.

I agree with vapoor. I also did experience some nausea when I first started and also lowered the nic on my next order. If you feel either of those symptoms, just put it down for awhile and you should be good.
Depends what you mean by "too much" - harmful or just more than you used to get by smoking.
Harmful: Deady dose is about 50-60 mg of nicotine at once (1-1.5 mg per each kilogram of your body weight).
On the other hand it's very easy to dose much more nicotine tha by smoking. Try to controll amount of liquid you vape everyday - luvflowers pointed a few reasons why.

Hi and welcome to ECF. Can you share with us the nic content you have got and how many cigs per day that you usually smoke(d)?

That's really a difficult question to answer. I am sure that it's possible to vape too much, but it can be difficult to recognize the signs when you first start out. When I first started vaping I sometimes had headaches, sore throats, and a feeling of light-headedness. I thought it might be a sign of vaping too much, when in reality I suspect it was a sign of withdrawal from cigarettes. Cigarettes have addictive chemicals in them other than just the nicotine. After a couple of weeks of vaping, these symptoms went away. The sore throat turned out to be the result of my sinuses draining after years of being subjected to cigarette smoke. I can't tell you how much better it is now to be able to wake up and not have to spend the first hour of my mornings dealing with sinus issues. It was well worth the few weeks of dealing with a minor sore throat.
Supposed to, but it will be better if you shake your bottle each time before filling to evenly distribute not just the nicotine but all other ingridients too.
Hello luv,
Sure you can , I call it- nic sick , . How, by chain vaping , nic. level to high for your vaping style. You can get nic. in the e-liquid / juice 0 TO 36= to 3.6%.
The symptoms are like smoking ; you can get dizzy and / or sick to you stomach and you can get nic. absorbed through you skin , like getting juice on your hands , juice in mouth , inhailing to much at to high of levels than your use to.
Smoking gets the nicotine in your blood system faster , like just a few seconds. the smoke has smaller particles that absorb quick.
Vaping it takes a little longer to get the nicotine into your system, the vapor is water/steam like and the particles are bigger and do not absorb as fast or easy as smoke. So it may take a minute or so to get the nic.
Well I hope this helps you some. Best Wishes !!!!!!!

Hello again...luv flowers here....well thanks for the replies...very helpful...which to answer some of the questions...kind of leads into another question I have....I am sort of ashamed, but I actually had completely quit smoking for two years...then started this form not smoking but vaping......I was wondering if others have been in this situation....anyway I am on cartridges for now till I get the juice....I am probably one step of myself...the cartridges are I think 24 mg....but what I ordered was 12 mg juice....I had a little headache yesterday....from vaping...doubt it but I was just curious and dont want to overdo it....this is much better than smoking.....thanks again for the replies
I haven't experienced any OD's even when I'm vaping around 6ml per day with 18mg juice. Sometimes when I'm testing new flavours and vape like a train for hour or two I get the feeling that now it's time for pause but never had any headaches or anything like that.
I have definitely heard of others who have done that, luvflowers. I've known many ex-smokers who have complained about wanting a cigarette years after having quit smoking. That may have been one of the reasons I put off quitting for so long. If you haven't smoked in 2 years then your symptoms are obviously not related to a withdrawal from cigarettes. You may indeed be suffering from too much nicotine. I started out with 18mg juice and quickly reduced it to 12. This was after smoking 2 packs a day for years. 24mg sounds kind of high for someone in your situation. Have you considered trying juices that don't have nicotine in them?
Well now that you've told us you haven't smoked for two yrs I would definitely say 24 mg is too high. Maybe 12 or even 8 mg. I began with 36 mg and now vape 8 mg and I have enuff nicotine in my juice.
Thanks again to all your input. I have hence cut to the 12 mg. The 24mg was in the starter pack....but that is why I am on this forum...new...getting advice...which I so greatly appreciate.....thanks...glad to see that I am no to much of a weirdo...restarting...and yes I will cut back even more to 6 or 0 mg.....I have many more questions, so please bear with me if you see some silly questions....but they are not silly to me....I just like to be informed...while enjoying this new thing of electonic cigarettes...thanks again.
I feel like a weirdo because besides a little nausea, my eyes feel puffy and and eyeballs feel really big!!! 
It's not common but there are some people who started vaping as an alternative to going back to smoking. Not having smoked for two years is probably the reason you're getting a headache from the nicotine though.
No need to be ashamed though.. at least you started vaping, not smoking!
