What does nicotine feel like?

Too much nicotine - nauseous.
Too little - like low blood sugar (feel weak and want to cry).

The first and only time I overdosed on nic was a few weeks ago when I put a few used cartos into boiling water to clean them. The cartos were not empty from nic content... and I happened to inadvertently take a direct breath of the vapor coming from the pot...

... it gave me a huge headache that didn't lasted long though, and I felt uncomfortable and almost had nausea. I was afraid for my cat's health (they are very sensible to nicotine I heard) so I opened a window and put the cat in another room.

Since this incident I am overly cautious with everything nicotine-related - I wear gloves and masks and I look like a worker from the Robocop drug factory.

If only everyone was aware that it is VERY dangerous to play with nic. I am sure that a stupid vaper will eventually kill himself and it will stir poodoo in the community. Please don't be that priick and be careful.

well at least hes positive!!!

I never vaped enough to get a buzz. I usually stop once I start feeling the nausea. I like vapign 10-16mg juice so I can vape all day without worrying about OD'ing.

Low nicotine = dullness, headaches, fatigue, nausea
Regular nicotine = normalcy
Too much nicotine = euphoria

I've definitely felt nausea from too much nicotine when vaping. Actually, I just felt that way about ten mins. ago. It's always accompanied by a feeling of a lump in my throat. I always keep water nearby, because washing it down seems to help it subside quickly. Although I am a frequent pop drinker, I realized pretty quickly that taking a sip while feeling nausea is possibly the worst thing you can do. I think that, combined with the sweetness of the e liquid, pop only adds to the nausea.

Anyone else experience that?

I see some mixed reactions. When I first started smoking analogs about 6 years ago I would get that "buzz" all the time. When I described the feeling I'd always say "I feel the nicotine in my veins going through my bloodstream" and people were freaked out. I loved that feeling because I was so relaxed. Since I have switch to vaping exclusively I find that I don't get those buzzes as often but when I vape a higher strength, 24mg or 36mg, I definitely feel something. But I get more nicotine headaches than I do buzzes anymore.

Kind of a basic question, but I'm interested in reading what others think.

When I over-vape, I feel a tingling sensation from within. I think that's the feeling of nicotine in the bloodstream. It's not an unpleasant feeling - although I can see how it could be, in excess.

Oddly, I never felt this sensation when I was smoking. I was a PAD "light" smoker.

It's very possible that I'm ingesting more nicotine via vaping, than I did when smoking. Right now, my max eliquid level is 12 mg. I plan to ramp that down in the future.

So what does nicotine "feel" like to you?
