Why is it making me sick?

[roninhockley]

You will never find one that taste like smoking. After a good full vape of something that makes you smile you will not want that taste either

Good Luck!

you nailed it with that one. i actually went to vaping to ditch a cigarillo habit i developed last year. cigarettes i quit 7 yrs ago. i cannot *stand* the taste of cigarettes. getting rid of that taste back then was very comforting to say the least. my wife did quit cigs when we started vaping. when she was slipping up she always made a sour face and said how awful the cigs taste.

vaping is killing 30 yr habits all over the world. they ought to get the nobel prize for this technology.

Well said. To bad it's under threat instead. Seems sad that the world works that way.

totally, totally get you on the nauseous feeling from even the smell of the thing... except 3 flavors at the shop they all gave me that queasy feeling, but i kinda expected that to happen with all the sweet flavors.. and a lot, if not most tend to be.. I tried vanilla herbals a few years back .. and barely got through a cig before i got nauseous and realized that would not work for me.. but then vanilla hazelnut coffee does that to me too.. ( i have no problem with the smell of vanilla or hazelnut individually) it's that sickly sweet smell that does it.

i was lucky i found a relatively dry tabacoish/cig like flavor that worked for me at the store since almost none of the others would have..

no there is no flavor of smoking cigarette out there... so everyone keeps saying... and i haven't found one.. but then all our cigarettes tasted different anyways.. i smoked ultra lights.. that most of my friends said tasted like air to them, to me they tasted fine.. i could have a Marlboro lights here and there if i ran out but generally the smell was overpowering for me...

these days i add a few drops of dragon fruit or green apple liquid to my tabacoish/cig flavor to add a bit of, well i would say, 'freshness'. Can't vape the dragon fruit on its own beyond 2-3 puffs. And even though i haven't vaped for long (a month) i still can't do the fruity flavors for more then a few drags, and the sweet, caramely flavors still make me nauseous. (i'm lucky i have a friend who loves this stuff so a) i get to test his and decide if i like and b)he likes all this sweet stuff i don't so it has where to go when i get it and it's not working)

I haven't tried the V4L or the everlast so really cant compare flavors.. but i did find that the Bull Smoke Refined Blend carts work for me. Since from what i can see of the V4L and everlast those are 808 thread batteries so the carts from Bull Smoke will work. It's 12.95 for a box of 5 carts, yeah there is a volume discount but try with one box. It's the driest, least sweet flavor i found..

And this might sound crazy but it works for me.. Since prefilled carts usually dry out way before the flavor runs out (at least for me) i refill mine.. with a blank flavor liquid... i mix mine at 70/30 PG/VG and i have a few different nic levels ... for the i need a 'normal' hit situations... or i'm chain vaping and need lower nic.. I get about a 90-95% flavor for the first refill.. and then somewhat lower after.. But as with any cart there is no reason why this one is not refillable till its finished.. so i just kept going with the blank liquid and discovered that while by the 4-5th refill the original flavor was mostly gone but that i liked the blank. The VG gives it just a bit of taste so you don't feel like you are vaping totally no flavor but it's very light. I have a few friends that liked it too and now pick up a bottle of blank for either just vaping or diluting too strong flavors.



As for this:





I'd say 36mg was way high...

If you do the math..

Malboro Lights - 0.5mg per cigarette

if you smoked PAD that is 0.5mg x 20cig - 10mg per pack

what you got it 36mg per 1ml of liquid ... rough calculation is that 1ml is 1 cartridge refill = 1 pack of cigarettes

(i know it;'s not exact on the 1ml - 1 refill =1 pack but roughly - i find it's less then a pack about 12-13 times x 11 drags per time so about 2/3 of a pack)

but for simplicity lets say 1ml - 1 pack ..

what you got at 36 ml is a pack that is 3.6 times stronger then you normally smoke and honestly if you are like me and chain vape in front of the comp you are vaping way more then you smoke(d)..

an overdose of nicotine is more likely to get you dizzy than nauseous, and i do think it's the flavor reaction you are having since you are reacting to the smell as well.. but it could be contributing to the overall...

regardless to the nausea its too high a concentration. 36mg - for a smoker of unfiltered Camels or something ok...

a smoker of Malboro Light i'd say 12-18mg.

I hope this helps

I agree high nic level with too much pg caused me all kinds of nausea and gastronomical issues. Went to higher end juice @ 18 mg and I stopped having issues.

as I don't think I'll ever be a fan of fruity flavors.

Yes you will. Maybe it'll be one week, maybe two. Maybe a month, maybe a year - but eventually? You'll be vaping on your strawberry blueberry bubblegum pina colada like all of us.


As for making you sick, I'm sure it's already been said (but I don't have the time to read the whole thread at the moment so I'll say anyway to make sure it's said) - quitting smoking gives you flu like symptoms. Each person experiences withdrawl differently. For me, it was very painful and I felt ILL for 3 days. Once I got over that hump, it wasn't too bad.

Perhaps you thought it was making you feel icky....and then the thought of the thought convinced you that it was that.
By any chance....if someone says "I smell natural gas." around you....do you start smelling it also?
Just sayin....some folks are "wired" that way!

Welcome to the board.

I used to use the eversmoke e-cig and found the pre-filled cartridges to be inconsistent and overall not that satisfying, I'm not saying you'll have the same experience, heck you might even love them. Unless you must have something that resembles the size of a real cig I would say send it back. Not sure which starter you bought but lets assume you got the deluxe at 79.99 and a 15 pack of cartridges for 40, for that money you could buy an ego starter kit and a lot more juice and flavor options for the 120 spent under this scenario. They make most their money off the consumables not the batteries and being proprietary, you only have 2 options, buy the sample pack or 15 pack, which you may not like anyway and then your stuck with a bunch of carts you may or may not use.

Trust me, they sent me 6 free batteries within a year when I contacted customer service re: battery issues. Customer service is great, as should be. Join their monthly membership and they send you cartridges every month and add a lifetime warranty to the batteries. If you do go with eversmoke and your batteries stop working after a year, become a member, wait til they ship and cancel your membership, that way you'll never pay for new batteries.

Also, if you need a battery that looks like the real thing, I would recommend buying it at a local tobacco or vape shop, where you don't have to buy 15 at a time and there usually not proprietary. plus you can buy blank cartridges and fill them yourself.

As for me, I prefer something that in no way looks like a cigarette and I like to be able to see what I'm about inhale. Not to mention the wonderful flavors...mmm flavors!

Anyway, whatever route you take, I hope works for you. Sometimes it takes the body a while to adjust since your depriving it of those 4000 + toxic chemicals it got used to. Good Luck!

what milligram of nicotine are you using in your juice? you said you smoked marlboro lights which have less nicotine than most other cigarettes, so this sudden exposure to higher amounts of nicotine might not be going well with your body. sometimes the smell i s enough to make you hurl. also, youd be surprised about some of those fruity flavors. i recommend namber juice. its awesome.
