I find that when I start having a nicotine fit I start getting fidgety and biting my nails a lot more than usual. I'm looking to find out what everyone else does when they have a nic fit...maybe it will help us notice when we need more nicotine.
What happens when you have a "nicotine fit" ?

I tend to start getting frustrated very easily, over small things.
When responding to someone, it comes out more harshly than normal.
I get that knot feeling in my gut.
36mg, Full Flavor-here I come!

I lean on my ecig like a crutch when that happens. Has worked for almost a year.
You know I really need to think about this question. I think I get raggy, like PMS raggy. I never had PMS until the last kid was born. I used to think women with pms were just whiney arses. But now I understand. Anyway back to the point. I have been in counseling for a few months to deal with my co dependence issue, yes there is a point. The other day my bonus daughter told me I seem crazy now that I am in counseling. Hmmm this bothers me. i have been very moody with people , more then normal. I saw this thread and VOILA it hits me. I have been progressively reducing my nic over the last few months , maybe a little faster then I should.
Normally I am very passive and never "yell" at my kids. To them a raised voice is yelling but they say I have been yelling at them more and they think it is from the counseling. I am thinking now it may be a Nic fit LOL.

The most noticeable side-effect of nicotine withdrawal for me is a lack of focus. Mental clarity just goes right out the window. I have difficulty making points clearly, or making them in a timely fashion. Definitely related to the fidgety edginess. It's quite frustrating to experience again, especially after a year with no nicotine in any form. vaping, of course, knocks it right out, though.
Viva l'addiction!

Edginess, irritablity, kinda panicky........I'm not having too many issues with it though. I vape at 30mg nic and pretty much chain vape 
I have 3 college classes and luckily, all 3 of my instructors are really kewl with my vaping in class- especially during my math tests- all you can see is clouds of vapor all around me lol.
If I'm in a public place where I don't feel comfortable vaping, I usually just vape in a restroom stall too
As far as stealth vaping- I don't think it's possible for me to hold the vapor in my lungs like that though

I'll chime in with Edginess and fidgety behaviors. I also get the "Jimmy leg" syndrome, and that's typically my queue to get up and Vape. I vape on 18-24 typically, and I think I will try a 36 perhaps I can go longer?
Nyxie,
I'm glad that you figured that one out....counseling should NOT cause more yelling (well unless you're yelling at your therapist as part of the excercise)
Matt,
Good call...I can also add "jimmy leg" to my list...
I also find that I get that feeling from my stomach to my chest...the one that you get when you try to pop your ears on a plane....

I get edgy... like I have to run around in circles for no reason. I'm not at all meaner or touchier than I would be otherwise, just nervous and I get the feeling that I don't know what to do with myself. I'll start pacing, maybe go for a walk or something and find that nothing really fills up the void of whatever it is I'm not doing.
I feel sorry for people that get headaches, man. That would drive me wild.

I get very irritable, but has been a non-issue since I quit smoking since my PV pretty much never leaves my hand.
I've quit cold turkey 4 times in my life. Each time lack of nicotine caused me insomnia, lack of focus and concentration, nervous energy, and weight gain (going from 120 to 150lbs) within 4 months due to my desire to keep using my hands to put something in my mouth.

She (the counselor) told me a while ago that I need to "voice my opinion" at least once a week LOL. Because I don't say what I want or what bugs me until I cant take it anymore. Well the other day I voiced my opinion for about 10 minutes straight to anyone who was standing near by LOL. And it was after I mixed some juice with less nic LOL. Poor family, I am nuts and raggy LOL
I started with 36mg and am now down to somewhere around 24mg. I think I may need to o back to 30 or 28 for a while. I started reducing my nic faster then normal a couple weeks ago. I need to remember baby steps with the nic reduction.
Oh I get weird dreams too. I guess I thought the reduction was ok at the rate I was doing it because I haven't had any weird dreams.
When I have a bad nic fit, I feel an overwhelming urgency to make it go away. I'm not sure if I would call it panic but it's pretty close. I found that I could chain vape 36mg liquids and still never feel that calm and satisfied feeling that I got from smoking. I managed to vape only for about 8-9 weeks and felt myself sinking into depression. After doing some reading, I discovered that the liquids we use don't have the tobacco alkaloids in it. It's just nicotine. I don't function well without these alkaloids and substitute my vaping with swedish snus and nasal snuff. Actually it would be more true for me to say at this point, I substitute my snus with vaping and snuff. I am now able to actually enjoy it when I vape instead of having it stuck to my face all day wondering why I still didn't feel satisfied. You know kind of like crawling in your own skin.
Remembering back to the first RUSH to get Americans to quit smoking, and some tried... Road Rage became the headliners of the decade.
Remembering back to my own lack of nicotine moments, I can see why Road Rage was quite the problem. I panic, feel edgy, frustrated, irritable, angry, and did I mention panicky?
Remembering back a few years ago when smoking in cars with a minor became forbidden, and all the Soccer Mom riots that took place.... because smoking on the school grounds is also forbidden.... no relief....
Not only is my family happy and I happy that I discovered the eCig, I think America should be too.

If its a hardcore fit, I get Very angry so a lot of people get a quick ....... OFF in reply to a simple question. Also get tense, whole body seems to tighten up and get jerky like I can't get my body to move right. Rational reaction seems to go out the window like instead of hitting backspase for a typo seems I feel like throwing the computer.
For the minor ones I just get fidgety and can't sit still.
this explains a lot about today. I just looked at the bottle of juice I filled my XL carto up with this afternoon and it is only 18mg
feeling much better since I got back to my 24mg this evening.

I get edgy. I start ringing my hands. Can't concentrate and I can't vape fast enough to make the feeling go away.
Wow petrodus, I wish my body reacted like that. I could have 100 puffs of 36mg liquid and still not kill a bad craving.
