New To Vaping, Can It Make You Ill?

[EvilGinger]

I started using e cigs recently, so I could take a smoke break at the office. ( Like everyone else) Otherwise if I'm away from my desk for 2 minutes they start freaking out!

Anyway, I have never smoked so I figured e cigs would be a safer way to go.

But I have noticed what I thought was an ongoing stomach bug.

Extreme nausea

Shakes

Chills and sweats

Extreme fatigue

Heartburn

Indigestion

Diarrhea

I find myself not paying attention to How long I'm puffing away. Could this be nicotine OD?

Could be,how high nic liquid you using?I vape constantly so I use the lowest I can find.Not so much about the nicfix anymore as the mindless habit.And I like the flavor.

It does sound like nic OD. Since you didnt smoke before I would recommend not even taking up vaping, but if thats what you choose I would recommend 0 nic juice.

I was using a brand called Krave. 1.8%

Just bought a kit by social cigarette. It just says "high". No amount anywhere.

[mcquinn]

that would be 18 mg,not real high but I still think I would go with the low.

Thanks Jeff. Yea I'm thinking the same thing. I just thought it would be a safer way than reg smokes.

I suspected it causing my symptoms last week but after being up all night last night sick to my stomach, I didn't vap during the day today. Then smoked the whole way home from work, about 30 min. ( not even paying attention)

And by the time I got home I was shaking, chills, sweating, and extremely nausea.

Thanks mcquinn! And Jeff!

Maybe I should just stop.

Now I need another reason to leave my desk. With no smoke break excuse....

How sad is that? Really? Taking up smoking just so I can leave my desk. Maybe I should get another job instead.
