Vaping Negative

[Rob Fisher]

I have found one vaping negative... and that's being able to give it horns when everyone is asleep and vape and cruise the forums... the problem with that is I think I'm getting such a Nicotine hit that when I get into bed I simply cannot get to sleep and after an hour of trying to sleep I get up and surf some more and vape some more!

I have ordered some zero menthol ice from @Oupa and I think I will have to use that from 9pm onwards!

I normally have to be in bed by 10:30 but I'm breaking all records of staying up late... and last nights (well early this morning really) record of 03:05am was just silly!

My next shipment from VM is 9mg and 0mg... I'll watch the vaping tonight and stop at 9pm.

Seems a lot of us share this issue - I don't think I've fallen asleep before midnight once since I started! At least without the effects of smoking I have more energy, which kind of off-sets the problem

 

[Rob Fisher]

Wow it's strange how we all concentrate on the positive... so far I found two negatives (well three if you think how much we spend on this hobby) that no one ever brought up before...

• Battling to fall asleep
• Vapers Nchnozze!

i used to vape 18mg, but since i got the igol and russian, 18mg was way too strong so i switched to 9mg.

i wonder what effect 0mg will have? like to the body

For sure not going to stop vaping like an hour before I go to bed. I just halve my nic content from early evening and no problems sleeping.

probably nothing , just plumes of vapour and flavour . id say the same as an oka pipe

If you in a hurry @shabbar you can buy VG (B.P grade) at the local Spar, checkers or pharmacy - look on the baby stuff shelves; Johnson & Johnson as well Dolly Varden brand. On the bottle it will state Pure Glycerine B.P.

 

[shabbar]

thanks for that @johanct

will grab a bottle once i leave the office

I dont stop vaping till my head hits the pillow and I too USED to suffer with insomnia.

Then I found this to help me.. I would have a mug of warm milk with honey an hour before I am about to go sleep, and didn't stop vaping till I put my head on the pillow and boom, insomnia gone.

 

[johan]

I just increased my night cap from single to triple, no problem to fall asleep

 

[shabbar]

ok so i got my hands on some vg ie dolly varden glycerine and my findings are that it mutes the flavour a lot , but makes up for it in the clouds of vapour , methinks that the vapour production has doubled

ive also experienced the same thing @shabbar but i didnt fancy the muted flavor.

 

[shabbar]

me too , probably will use the balance of this vg with the diy kit from vm

 

[johan]

VG = clouds!

 

[vaalboy]

For a while, I had the same issue. Most of my juices are 18 up, but I still vape until head hits the pillow and now I sleep like a baby. I recon our bodies adapt rather quickly.

Same here, granted cruising the forums is what I attribute it to.

I find this sleep interruption quite a strange thing

From the little bit of research I have done, stinkies are way more effective at spiking nicotine levels in the blood. Not only the speed, but also the level attained.

So why then should vaping cause such a problem? Even at lower mg juices, it seems to cause a problem for some.

Either it just takes our bodies a while to adjust - or there is something else we don't understand.

I hope I will find this out someday. Keep on looking.

My sleep issues are still there - but admittedly getting better.
I try vape 12mg on standard equipment or reduce vaping a lot about an hour or two before bed.
But I still get into bed occasionally and find I am wide awake. Maybe its not the vaping.

In the past I would go outside for a stinkie just before bed - and never had a problem.

Lets see how it develops over the months that follow.

Keep tabs on this fellow forumites

My issue is easy... normally I would stop smoking at around 4pm when my wife got home... she has been nagging me for 2 years... now I can vape all day and all night and when everyone goes to sleep I let the NAutilus go berserk while I play on the forums... and as we say in the classic "is my problem". Nicotine spike just before I try and go doodoos!
