side effects from vaping?

[Simon G]

I gave him 8mg nicotine juice. He was having his rollies before starting this so I don't know what mg those are but will have to check that to see.

thanks mate

Do you happen to know how much liquid he's getting through a day?

Knowing the mg of the liquid on it's own doesn't tell us much .... 6ml of 9mg is more nicotine than 2ml of 18mg.

 

[Simon G]

just wondering is there anything he can do or take to help combat the withdrawal symptons?

Not really, it's just something you have to fight through, although after a few of weeks he should be over the worst of it to be honest, but it effects everyone differently. It was pretty bad for me, I felt pretty terrible for a couple of months. It's why a lot of people find it so hard to stop smoking, if it was just a case of getting over nicotine cravings for a few days it would be easy. It can effect you in a negative way both physically and mentally for quite a while.

I didn't realise it could be that bad. I was aware that some folk did have some allergic reactions.

really helpful information.


thank you

also.... just a tip, if you think he is over-vaping (which can be easy as you don't 'finish' a vape like a fag, try to get him to only pick it up when he feels like he needs to 'smoke' and then tell him to take just enough puffs until he feels satisfied, then put it down again. If he does that it doesn't really matter what nicotine level the liquid is, he'll only be vaping what he needs to keep the cravings at bay.

It can be tough, it's not just the nicotine we get addicted to, there are literally thousands of other chemicals in a cigarette that our body gets used to having inside it..... when we aren't getting them any more we notice it.

thanks for that. Yeah I will defo be saying that to him. Someone else on here mentioned I should get him to drop down to a 6mg juice but I was just thinking there that he would end up vaping more to get his fix as hes now somewhat got used to the 8mg. But your right, taking puffs when he only needs to then putting it down sounds like the best thing he should do. He is a light smoker so even his rollies he wasn't having many. He's been cutting down over time.

Everyone is different, my best friend still vapes the 18mg that he first started with. But he only vapes about a ml or two a day. He'll have half a dozen puffs in the morning, half a dozen at lunchtime, a few when he gets home ... then a little in the evening.

Compared to me, I'm vaping a lot more than that of 12mg. ... I was a heavier smoker, but I'm using a lower mg liquid.

That's just what works for us, you just have to find what works for you (or him, in this case)

It is easy to over do it, I smoked for 47 years and was a pretty heavy smoker going through 60+ Roll-ups a day. When i first quit in March i thought i would try Vaping again. I had tried when vaping was pretty new and failed because the gear and juice was pretty poor back in 2012. Anyway i quit this time and with help from the guys on here i soon heard about Nic Salts. I remember one Sunday i was at the PC vaping away and suddenly felt sick, I remember this feeling feeling like what we called throwing a whitey. When you overdo it with a Spliff and all the blood rushes from your face and you feel proper sick. Thats exactly how i felt when i over vaped the 20mg Salts.

It's nuts to think that JUUL had 50mg pods in the States. ... wtf is that all about?

... actually I know what that's about.... getting people used to a 50mg hit from nic salts so that any other product doesn't satisfy them any more.
