Hi I'm not too qualified to advise as I'm new to this myself. Been vaping for 6 weeks to the day, quit the smokes 5 weeks ago. I was a 20-30 a dayer. I did find that i was also suffering with mild headaches and a sore throat but these have now dropped off so I put it down purely to the transition period. I am still on 24mg liquid but can only say that quitting has been so easy, can't really believe it as I have been an ardent smoker for nearly 40 years. A friend advised on what kit to get and I think this definitely helped. Good luck, stick at it and keep up with the liquid intake
Hi Paulo, Thanks for sharing, I've just googled "nicotine overdose" and came across a post saying they experience, headaches, nausea and fatigue... I think I have had all three of these so far and think that 18mg is for heavy smokers, I should be on a much lower dose of nicotine. At the moment I feel tired, heavy eyed almost like I have a hangover, can't wait to finish work and go home to relax. Will probably only vape a few times tomorrow just to keep the fags away but so i don't cause a headache which will ruin my night out! |

If it helps... I smoked twice as much as you and used 18mg liquid as soon as I threw away the cig-a-likes. Welcome to AAEC  Yeah I think the guy we bought them from just gave us a standard "starter" kit, most people we know smoke around 20+ fags a day so he was probably expecting us to, either that or my fiance didn't really understand what he meant if he got asked about how much nicotine he wanted, probably the 2nd one! ;-) Hoping that this bubblegum one comes by at least Monday, I'm going out tomorrow night for the first time in ages so it's going to be very hard to resist the urge to drink and smoke! Not sure about taking my e-cig with me incase I lose it or it leaks in my bag. :-( |

Yeah I've got some Blueberry & Raspberry sparkling water, when I'm at work, I tend to forget to drink!  Silly of me really! |

Hi Karma,
Sorry I seemed to have scrolled past your post! I've only drank half a litre of flavoured water today so that's probably half of it! Feeling very tired and heavy eyes too, a little bit more hungry than usual but I guess that's to be expected, bit annoying since I'm also on a diet!!! Yes hoping this 8mg bottle of bubblegum I've bought will help!

I just hate getting headaches as I was a migraine sufferer when I was little and now a headache usually brings on a migraine :-( I did feel sick Wednesday morning, like I was going to throw up for about an hour when I woke up but then I was fine. Didn't even realize you could die from nicotine, scary stuff!
I am actually vaping less than I smoked, my coworker used to ask me to go for a fag every 1-2 hours and now I don't have anyone asking me to come for a smoke with them I just do it when I need to, I would say I've only used it about 4 or 5 times today and it's 16.50pm! I'm glad that my fiance is doing it too, even though he smoked less than me and could often go days without a ciggy (i don't really know why he wants to vape.. but oh well haha!) it's supporting rather than me just doing it by myself.
Thank you Jane, I found this forum by searching for information about vaping on the internet and it seems friendly already. :-)

Hi guys,
I'm new here *waves*
So I'm trying to quit smoking, I started smoking when I was 16 and I'm now 20, it doesn't seem like a long time but I found trying to quit cold turkey just made me irritable and snappy and I didn't want to hurt anyones feelings.
I started vaping on Tuesday evening, so my first full day was Wednesday and I haven't had a fag since, I have had a few cravings to go and have one but I've stuck to my guns and had a little puff on my e-cig.
The thing is I keep getting little headaches and I'm pretty sure it's probably to do with the amount of nicotine in my vanilla flavoring... 18mg. I'm not totally sure how much nicotine is in a roll up, I smoked golden virginia and had around 8-10 fags a day. I didn't go and buy the e-cigs, my fiance did and I've only just realized today how many mg's are in the flavoring. So I ordered some bubble gum flavored stuff with just 8mg in and hoping that will work and not give me a headache, I never used to get headaches from smoking fags unless I smoked more than usual.
Any tips?!
Thanks!
