Too much, too fast.

[ScottM]

Whew. Just figured out what it feels like to overload on the vaping-nicotine thing.

I was sitting here chain vaping, to which I am prone, and reading through threads. Not paying attention, I vaped in an hour what I usually would in a night.

Being more than familiar with motion sickness, I was about ready to step outside and chum the fish. Wow! Most unpleasant for a few minutes. At least it passes quickly, but my keyboard is still kind floating around.

Anyone else been there?

 

[FloydianSlip]

Yup... been there, done that. Like you said at least it passes quickly.

 

[_more_]

Yeah, that is why at home i dropped my nic level to 3mg. I use 6mg when i go out somewhere.

been there,done that

Yep. Drink water, lots of water. It won't last long. It happens to me sometimes with different delivery systems even when using the same juice.

You kind of have to treat vaping the same way you did cigs.... or you can really overload fast. I never did chain smoke, never smoked in the house and never took 5-10 second hits - but if you do that with vaping, which is sooooo easy to do, you can put yourself on the floor.

Thanks for the tip. Water does help.

I chain vape sometimes but have not had that effect on me yet. at 12-16mg

I'm still at 18mg down from 24mg after over 3 years of vaping. If you aren't used to the nic, I will be just like that first cigarette you smoked as a teenager. Dizzy city ...

I just went down to 8 mg liquid after my 1 year mark. I used to vape 24 mg juice, I love vaping but not the overdose feeling. Lowering my juice so fast was hard but now I can chain vape without getting sick feeling. I am guessing within the next 6 months I might be pretty close to 0 mg liquid.

Had to drop my nicotine level when I started using rba's massive increase in juice usage. I like to vape a lot so I just keep dropping my nicotine.

 

[DC2]

It's only happened to me once in my four years of vaping...

I started at 12mg strength (and still use 12mg strength) but about a month into vaping I got a sample pack.
It was all 18mg strength juice, about 15 flavors, and I just HAD to try all of them NOW.

I got too much nicotine, felt nauseous and got a headache.
First time and last time I'll ever do that.

Yep. New RBA. And the sad part is that it was only 8mg juice. Nice RBA. Great flavor. Now I know. The instructions said to cut the nic in half. I thought it was hype. Nope, it wasn't.

 

[nctrekken]

I started at 24mg. I was a little light headed when I first started on the first few drags. Other than that no problem. I've gone from 24mg to 6mg in the past few months. I can vape all day at 6mg with no effect.

 

[Debberly]

Yup! I did that in the beginning. Switching to a lower nicotine level made me feel better. It wasn't hard to lower my level as I had anticipated.

 

[DaveP]

I was a heavy ultra light smoker (oxymoron). I went from a pack a day Red Marlboro habit in my twenties to a 2PAD Doral Ultra Light habit in my 40s. It must be true that the lower the nic the more you smoke to get the fix. If I bummed a Red Marlboro during my Doral days, I got the buzz that I didn't get from the ultra lights.

 

[Pink Dolphin]

I usually vape 6mg but ran out of juice once so I had to get some juice from a friend until I got off work.Ended up vaping his 24mg and felt sick and my ears rang for a while,not a pleasant experience.But hey,you have to learn eventually..

 

[DaveP]

I ordered 18mg once again after recently dropping from 24mg. I'm thinking my next order might be 12mg for a test just to see if it satisfies the nic urge. I'll still have some 24mg non-favorites to use up and some of those will lend themselves to mixing down to a lower level.

Like most, I hoard old juices for a rainy day when I should dump them and stick to what I like.

I did it to a glass of milk and a little couch time gave me the cure. Its only happened the once when I went from egos to my first mod. I Vape 12 mg weather its just a few puffs at work genys dual coil sub ohm clouding or a carto tank. I think your body gets use to what you use.

My first mod was a Madvapes plastic box mod with VV. When it came in, I charged up a couple of 14500 batts and starting playing around. After cranking the voltage until I was blowing vapor like an out of tune diesel truck, I started getting a little giddy. It was kind of like the first cigarette I ever smoked. I thought if one was that good, another would be even better. I had to sit on the sidelines for a while until the buzzing stopped!

Once you over vape, you recognize the OD symptoms early on and learn where the sweet spot lies. I haven't done the nic OD again. Once was enough.

 

[Bejeebus]

I have had this happen to me as well. In fact, I thought for months that I had some kind of illness - not related to vaping. I thought this because I was already using only 10 or 8 mg juice... BUT it's true, good delivery systems really make a difference. I was making myself sick all the time! lol.

My usual symptom was nausea. The worst ones .. double vision (hence dizzy), nausea, vomiting, and cold sweats. Good thing I finally figured it out. I now use mostly btwn 6 and 4 mg juice.

Ugh.. all those months I coulda avoided it!!
