Am I vaped out?

[Mrsmac]

Hi all, bit of a strange one (unlike me ) but after getting my fav juice back in day before yesterday, that evening I vaped about 1.5ml, I realised that I may have over done it as this happened in about 3 hours.

Yesterday I vaped my juice as usual bit due to some stresses and the fact that I work on the pc from home, I either had a cig in my hand or my ego. I realised at about 5 in the evening that I wasnt feeling too clever and that it was perhaps because I od'd on nicotine.

Today, I have only managed to vape maybe 3 pulls on my ego and each time my head goes woozy. Unfortunately, I am still able to have a cig without too much effect.

Could it be that I have too much nicotine in my system? perhaps I need to decide to kick the sticks once and for all and vape but at the moment am a little scared as everytime I pull, my head goes!

I have had that feeling even to the extent of it making me feel a little sick. This is when I tried patches, I didn't smoke with them but they were much too strong for me to handle. Weird as I was a 40-50 a day smoker.

Nicotine stays in your system for 2-4 days or even longer. Personally I would stop the cigs and just stick to vaping.

I get this sometimes. Think it probably is too much nicotine. I just give it arrest for an hour to two.

I get this as well if I vape like a mad thing; I find it passes in a couple of hours. I am reducing my nic content and notice I tend to get it more when using my higher nic juices, so have concluded it's too much nicotine.

I'd go with the nicotine OD theory as well MrsM . . . I vape continuously when I possibly can . . . but my nic strength is now considerably lower than when I started vaping . . . I couldn't handle anything over 18mg, as my ecigs are seldom out of my hand.

I nearly passed out after really going for it one evening soon after I started vaping!

I think you soon learn to recognise the signs though and ease off if you are taking in too much nic. The cigs won't help of course as you absorb a lot more nicotine from them in a short time, so you would probably need to hold off vaping for a while after a fag.

[Mrsmac]

I agree going to take it slow today I thinks and maybe look at seeing if I can get a customised juice strength

[Gordy]

what strength do you vape MrsM ?

[Mrsmac]

Currently on Med from PV which says on the website that it is between 12-18mg

[Gordy]

1.5ml of 12-18mg in 3 hours is quite a bit if you are not used to it.... i started on 18mg and found it gave me buzzes if i vaped too much ...maybe your head going woozy now is because you're a little nervous of your e-cig

Think I need to UP my nic I could do with a buzz like that I aint had it for a year

[Mrsmac]

Lol believe me, it is not a nice sensation. Seems to have calmed down a bit. I ran out of ciggies half day and took a slow vape and have been fine. I may see if I can find out the actual stength of the juice rather than a variable and hopefully I can regulate my intake. I don't mind going down in nic if I don't have to worry how much I vape if you see what I mean. Now I just gotta get the tank sorted! I nearly gave up today with it all to be honest. Don't get me wrong, I love my lil ego but with so much choices and things to learn it can be mind blowing!

[Jemima]

Mrsm, it can be very mindblowing ... I'm 6 months into it and people still have to explain things to me daily lol. Take one step at a time, maybe a bit old hat advice but it works. Try not to give up, as frustrating as it can be, in the long run its worth it

Oh and read, read, read, wether you understand it or not at the time, eventually it sinks in and makes a little more sense Don't think you have to have the latest gadget if what you have works for you, enjoy your ego and don't worry about moving onto anything else untill you feel it's time to.
