I think I over did it a bit yesterday on the nicotine. After reading the symptoms of a Nic O.D. in some other threads (headache, upset stomach, etc) I think that's exactly what I did. I've gotten good at stealth vaping at work, to the point where I'm vaping all day long; as well as in the evenings at home. The headache came on gradually, then the stomach ache later on -- after that I just felt no desire to vape and I went to bed.

The weird part is, when I got up this morning, I still had no urge to vape. No more upset stomach.. a slight lingering headache, nothing major. But it's been almost 6 hours now since I woke up and the thought of vaping still doesn't sound very appealing. Kind of feels like how you don't want to eat when you're getting over the stomach flu, if that makes sense.

Has anyone else had an experience like this? I'm curious if it'll pass soon, or if I somehow developed a strong aversion to Nicotine overnight. To be honest, I haven't felt any withdrawl symptoms yet. And I wasn't planning on quitting vaping anytime soon, especially with a brand new mod on its way. Has anyone else gone through a phase where they didn't feel like vaping?

I get the headaches, and some slight queasiness when I over do it, but I also had these symptoms when I smoked too much. A good nights sleep and I'm all good. I usually vape 12mg tobacco flavor for my after coffe and after meals vape, and then some 6 or 8 mg e-liquid throughout the day to avoid the nic overdose. I overdid it on the 12mg yesterday though, and ended up with the headache.

Went through the rest of the day without too much of an urge to pick up the PV. By around 5-6pm I took a few drags and felt ok but didn't really need more. After dinner tonight I loaded up a new carto with some 18mg that just arrived in the mail today and have been vaping off and on with no ill effects. Although I'm not trying to fog up the house either, just picking it up when the urge hits.

Most of my juice is in the 18mg range, and I have a pretty good supply of it at the moment. But I think I'll start ordering the lower nic juice from now on. I can always vape a little extra if I feel like it, but I'd rather avoid overdoing it like that again. Thanks for all the comments guys

Water down ya ejuice to 6 mg or lower .. that what I gonna do .. if 12 mg 20 ml add 20 ml of pure VG/PG mix with no nicotine to it .. that should make it 6 mg mix is that correct newbie here too LOL

I've heard of people doing that. Its a possibility, but how much will that water down the flavor as well?

Don't want to vape? Don't want to smoke a cigarette? I think you're good to go !!!! I pronounce you Healed!! (Feel better soon!)

I agree with this. I love vaping, don't get me wrong, but if you don't crave it, then that's good. Then you don't have to worry about any possible negative health affects in the future. I have experienced some jitters from too much nicotine, but never got sick, so I still chain vape.

I had a similar experience when I was first getting going. I was pretty excited to be able to vape in the car since I didn't smoke in the car. I was on my way home from work hitting on some 36mg/ml menthol and loving it. About ten minutes from home I got the queasy feeiling, just like the flu. A couple big glasses of ice water helped alot. Learned my lesson. I have been vaping 30mg/ml for the last eight months or so now (I was a pretty heavy smoker). Started some DIY recently and have found that in order to mix and taste alot of juice I need to back off to 24mg/ml and even mix flavors at 0mg/ml for testing.

Hope all is well and you find your happy place!

Since this thread came back up, I've been buying 12mg lately and seem to be doing pretty well with it. No more extreme symptoms like my original post, no more headaches; although I've noticed I can get a slight headache when I break out some of my older juice thats still around in 18-24 mg. But dropping down to 12 has made a big difference.
