Vaping is making me ill

[Bucky Goldstein]

I quit smoking four years ago and started vaping a couple months ago

I started with mystic disposable... horrible
switched to a 510T system, what a hassle those those little tanks are and I could barely get a big enough hit to catch must nicotine
Now I'm doing a Ego C Twist VV and V3 Stardusts and I may getting too much nicotine
I'm using 18mg 80/20 pg/vg juice and now when I take a blast I'm sick (nauseous) for hours, when I finaly get better I'll pick it up for another vape and I'm sick again

Bummer. Maybe it's a PG allergy. Have you tried all VG liquids? If you were able to quit smoking 4 years ago, maybe you don't need to vape.

Sounds like too high of nicotine. 18mg seems to work for me without giving me headaches or making me sick but whenever I get too much nicotine (I've gotten sick from it using extra sterk snus) I get really bad headaches muscle twitches and feel awful.

It's probably the nic if you haven't smoked for 4 years. Speaking of which, if you haven't smoked for 4 years, why start vaping?

I would play with the blends....could be a pg or even a vg allergy (vg is rare but it does happen) Any time someone mentions nausea I automatically think the nicotine level is too high. Ive experienced the same thing when I was a smoker and chain smoked.

 

[Bucky Goldstein]

I switched from Highbrow to Mt Baker same mix PG/VG, same nicotine level
that couldn't be the problem right?

Should be pretty much the same, shouldn't it?

Allergies can pop up at ANY time in your life. I know a girl who developed an allergy to seafood at 35...had to be rushed to the hospital after eating salmon because her throat closed up. Her husband was a chef and she had eaten seafood hundreds of time before that.

Could also be something in the flavoring since you said the pg/vg blends and nicotine were the same.

18mg sounds too high for a non-smoker.

 

[gthompson]

Way too high.

 

[zapped]

Try 6mg and see if that helps

So many things to go over here man.Have a seat.
First off, why did you come back?Glad to have you back...you could be over sensitive to the Nic now.It could even be as simple as bad individual products you are using.
This isn't cost effective, but buy new juice (different dist) and new atomization gear.18 is fairly high for someone to just raw-dog vape out of the blue after quitting 4 years ago.
EDIT:Seems you did more than one juice purchase...so you're saying one tiny little toot gets you green?For sure lower that Nic level.

 

[MacSabbath]

Yeah I was smoking a pack a day before I stopped (I'd only smoked 2 weeks after not using snus anymore) so my nicotine tolerance was pretty high. 18mg is enough to stave off cravings for me. For you it is probably way too much.

 

[gthompson]

If you're a non-smoker, try 0mg.

 

[Bucky Goldstein]

maybe I wasn't getting enough with the 510 and with the Stardust I'm getting too much
The difference in the amount of vapor I exhale between the two is huge

 

[unloaded]

Have you been using gum or patches the last four years? If not I,d order a bottle of 12mg and 0mg in the same flavor. If you mix them 50/50 you'll have 6mg juice, but you can mix different ratios to get you anywhere between 12-0mg to find your sweet spot.

 

[Bucky Goldstein]

I started again because I gained weight and I wasn't having much luck losing it
I already lost five pounds... because I'm too sick to eat lol

the lowest stuff I have around the house is some 12mg Mt Baker was cool and threw in as a freebee
I almost ordered all 24mg because I wasn't get enough out of my old system, glad I didn't

 

[WillieB69]

I have to echo the others. Tone down your nicotine content first.
Nicotine is a lot more potent than most people give it credit for.

 

[MF DOOM]

This sounds all to familiar...the advertised percentage on the prefilled's.I bought some 36mg when I first started because the "1.6" wasn't doing shibby with the NJOY'S.Those NJOY carts I'd kill in 30 mins...that's how I'd hit them.So I'm like, lets double that...well, double the 1.6 in a cheaply filled NJOY is NOT 36mg from e-liquid, and I found this out the hard way.You want to lose weight?Vaping can fill that void that smoking did...but much healthier.

Go to Walmart or CVS, buy a bottle of USP Glycerin. Mix about equal parts of the glycerin with a small amount of your juice, maybe add just a touch of distilled water (distilled!!!) to it also, to thin it down. Shake, mix, what ever.. and try that. It will lower the nic level of the juice, and still give you a smoky, tasty vape! See if that helps you.

Pretty high nic if u haven't smoked for four years - mind u I never had any problems with full strength 'roll-my-own' after 7 years but good suggestions try weakening the nic level and the vg. Good luck with trying the variations. I do realise that for some people it doesn't matter how long they are off the ..., they are still a smoker. I think it is not only the chemical addiction but the psychological. For me, don't matter how long I went without, I always wanted a .... Vaping is an alternative way to get the nic as well as satisfying the other needs. Good luck and cheers to all from OZ
