If you're new, that's a fairly common experience. You'll get over it in time. For now, try to use lower nicotine or cut down some on vaping for a few hours before you go to bed. I had a little of that experience, although it wasn't so much difficulty sleeping as really strange and bizarre dreams. Must've been a side effect of detoxification, but it only lasted a few months.
I believe nicotine is a stimulant which may be why its keeping you awake. I actually chain vape at night during my movies I wanted to see, but didn't want to pay for marathons and it definitely helps keep me up.
I have been dead tired by midnight, start chain vaping at the computer and head back to bed around 2am and not able to fall asleep til 3. I don't think it's detox, I think we aren't used to just nicotine. Our minds think this is healthier, so we probably end up ingesting more nicotine, really.
As mentioned, its most likely the nicotine. Nicotine is a stimulant, so the more you take in the more you will feel awake. Try to have your last vape at least 30 min before you want to go to bed
5 or 6 stiff rum & cokes will take care of your sleeping problems

I got my brother to vape after I had success, he has some of the funniest dreams: outsourcing the Presidential and senators elections, cause nobody in the USA can afford the campaign commercials, was today's dream. Which could happen one day, so maybe not so bizarre.
Unless you're used to it by now...im dead ... tired and have been chain vaping since 5pm. It's normally like this...but tonight.......
I think it's pint night that has me sleepy!
Actually nicotine is both a stimulant AND a depressant, supposedly stimulant in smaller doses, depressant in higher doses. Still seems like even in high doses close to bed time it can cause sleeping problems, or at the very least crazy ... dreams.
I never had any idea about this until I tried the patch once and was using a full patch and leaving it on overnight... probably not using it as instructed. Have gotten very familiar with it using swedish snus, which comes in strengths from 8mg up to close to 20mg. If I'm using lots of the strong stuff through the day I might find myself unnaturally tired at some point and realize I've overdone the nic. And I've had to get in the habit of making sure I stop using it about an hour before bed to keep the restless sleep and crazy dreams away.

I started with nic strengths far too potent for me and didn't have trouble sleeping but had really strange dreams until I straightened it out, then I started waking up thinking about 555.
Never had much problem with restless sleep, but I kind of miss the crazy dreams. They were the only ones I've had for a very long time that were worth remembering.
Haha, yeah I rarely remember dreams, and crazy might be a mild way to describe nic dreams. Intense and insane! If I didn't feel like I wasn't getting a good night's sleep when I've had them it might be worth doing on purpose every now and then. Definitely wake up going wow! ...! And cheaper than going to the movie theater!
The insomnia hit me during the first two weeks, then I was able to sleep better and deeper.
Yes, the dreams are more pronounced as well. I feel like I am sleeping better now than I ever have.
VAPE ON!!

I was born an insomniac. I think more than the vaping it's my visions of world domination that keep me awake.
yup its a stimulant. i definitely vape hardcore when im trying to stay awake while driving 
Wow I thought it was only me... great to see there's a whole pack of us midnight tokers. I used to be in bed my midnight maybe 1am on work days but now if I get to sleep by 3am I'm happy. The last thing I remember from last night was glancing over at the clock reading 4:53am. I wake up at 7am and am at work by 8. Not a happy camper. Think a half an ambien a night until my sleeping patterns get back to normal might do the trick.
