Not sure if this is a question or a statement. In my opinion, nicotine could be bad for the heart at high levels, but so could caffeine.
 
Hi giys just downloaded this app..
Been using ecigs for 20 months no problem but yesterday I had an increased heart rate ..palpitations feeling dizzy... I really think its down to the ecig... im not touching it anymore. . Normally I would swear by an ecig but now I really think they are bad

If you've been using it for 20months at the same nic level, same puffing rate, and using the same equipment, then I'd say it's probably something else such as way too much caffeine, high stress/anxiety level, panic attack, heat stroke, dehydration, undiagnosed medical condition (aortic regurgitation, aortic stenosis, atrial fibrillation, pulmonary hypertension, middle ear infection, to name a few), etc.

Could be un-related, could be too high nic level, could be all kinds of things. A Dr would be your best opinion.

Moving thread to Vaping Health related.

I would hope after 20 months on an e-cig, she has cut down on nic level by now. :) Anything else change... juice brand, flavor, PG/VG ratio?
Good question, especially since not all juice manufacturers are accurate with their nic levels. Five pawns brand being 1/2 as much nic as it's supposed to be comes immediately to mind, so someone who is used to theirs and then goes to another brand at same supposed strength would be in for a big shock to the system.

E-cigs have caused my bullshit dumbfuck meter to peg to absofuckinglute zero.


Honestly I do not not what is worse, the drive by retard trolls with their battery retardation or stupid unsupported shit like this.
I read on another board some fucky moron talking about how e-cigs wrecked his lungs.. Barring all other outside factors of history of smoking, allergies and occupation this special SJW snowflake blamed it solely on ecigs.
I see this here.

So instead of adjusting vaping rate and having half a fucking brain cell "lets post a one word bullshit answer with zero facts!!! my feels says it is right!"

possibly, though I did come across a woman real-world that said the same sort of thing to me. She had used them for some time and then had a bad moment, blamed it on her ecig, and went bad to sucking on cancer sticks. She did tell me, though, that her doctor laughed at her when told the doc that she blamed the ecig.

Bullshit it is from your e-cig, at least the film in the windows is.

total retard assessment by OP !! it took 20 months for her [?] to have heart rate issues WTF

ignorance run rampant

saw an ad on tv for an anti-eczema pill earlier today. Side effect? Cancer! Adds a bit of credence to the whole thing about big pharma wanting to make you sick. Thank goodness ecigs aren't big pharma or big tobacco.

FUCK me cancer as a side effect?
That should motherfucking tell ya'all something.
These cancer non profits giving little if any money to the charities, BP knows cancer is bigger business giving you cancer and treatments instead of curing it.

Spoke with a breast cancer survivor and loved her outlook on it.. "
"Want treatment to survive? Fat fucking chance, the Docwhores just see walking tittybanks. Why fight the cancer without harming the patient and ONLY going by the FDA guidelines? easy it is 5 million a tit. FUCK oncologists and seriously FUCK the FDA."

Most with the side effects worse that what the ailment is
do they still include anal leaking as a side effect?
PC was of saying shitting yourself, most would rather deal with cancer than shitting yourself.

stop vaping e cigs and vape pens. get a decent box battery and get something like a smok tank or maybe an RBA and start vaping the thicker 100%vegetable glycerin juice and dont buy juice over 10mg/ml if you need more nicotine then just take longer tokes or toke more. ecigs are loaded with propylene glycol which is some nasty stuff to be inhaling. alot of people have allergic type reactions. severe dry through and mouth shortness of breathe. i say upgrade beyond ecigs and vape pens like igo because the 100% VG juice is so much thicker and doesnt do well in the tiny devices. i stopped vapping anything with more than 23% PG in it. better flavor quality too

its also in alot of food
Fer real....if pg is "nasty stuff to be inhaling," my critically asthmatic husband is in trouble, in the fact that pg is a primary ingredient in his inhalers.

its also in lots of foods. but its not meant to be ingested in mass quantities. vaping it all day everyday is too much PG consumtion

No shit, every one of the 4-5 prescribed inhalers The Mr. uses countless times per day lists pg as a primary ingredient. It carries the medicine into his lungs. Anyone with an allergy or sensitivity to pg should definitely steer clear of it, but it does not have a harmful effect on the lungs of a healthy, non-adverse individual.

on the material safety data sheet ( all registered chemicals in the U.S are required to have one) respiratory tract irritation is a listed side effect of inhalation. like i said A LOT of people, NOT ALL people, have an allergic reaction. just stay clear of it as much as possible imo.

And just like the big side effects sheet you get from every pharmacy with every prescription, there is a list of possible side effects. If one person in 1000 gets a headache when they take a certain medication, it must be listed as a side effect. The MSDS sheets are dealing with a much larger quantity of propylene glycol than we are inhaling through vaping or for medical purposes.

true. but not the only list qualifying factor. also if its pretty common in subjects it makes the list. if a side effect rarely happens in subjects like 3 out off 1000 get diarrhea then it wont make the list. all i know is it was harsh on my lungs and i avoid it when possible. still trying to find a good custard to replace charlie noble. but just like any substance bad effects can show up in different people

Special Remarks on other Toxic Effects on Humans:
Acute Potential Health Effects: Skin: May cause mild skin irritation. It may be absorbed through the skin and cause systemic
effects similar to those of ingestion. Eyes: May cause mild eye irritation with some immediate, transitory stinging, lacrimation,
blepharospasm, and mild transient conjunctival hyperemia. There is no residual discomfort or injury once it is washed
away. Inhalation: May cause respiratory tract irritation. Ingestion: It may cause gastrointestinal tract irritation. It may affect
behavior/central nervous system(CNS depression, general anesthetic, convulsions, seizures, somnolence, stupor, muscle
contraction or spasticity, coma), brain (changes in surface EEG), metabolism, blood (intravascular hemolysis, white blood
cells - decreased neutrophil function), respiration (respiratory stimulation, chronic pulmonary edema, cyanosis), cardiovascular
system(hypotension, bradycardia, arrhythmias, cardiac arrest)
, endocrine system (hypoglycemia), urinary system (kidneys),
and liver. Chronic Potential Health Effects: Skin: Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause allergic contact dermatitis.
Ingestion: Prolonged or repeated ingestion may cause hyperglycemia and may affect behavior/CNS (symptoms similar to that
of acute ingestion). Inhalation: Prolonged or repeated inhalation may affect behavior/CNS (with symptoms similar to ingestion),
and spleen


from the msds so for anyone who finds out they have an allergic reaction to propylene glycol i recommend you quit using it

yea i know, i use to be one of those until 4 years ago,but after seeing just how bad VG was coating the inside of my drip tips and realizing it was most likely coating my lungs as well ?? i forced myself to just get over the it ,,i increased my PG levels until the point i can now do 100% PG no problems but ahnd around 75%

well im one of the unlucky people whos lungs dont like it so i wont be doing that any time soon. i use to smoke 2 packs of cigs a day so maybe that has something to do with why im one of the people that have a problem vaping it.

funny thing is ,i like my kidneys
why is info not available !! did they not detect it or did they NOT test for it !! which is it

remember it is made from vegetables so either there were none or no studies were conducted who know but im sure with in a few years this topic should be fully cleared up. hopefully someone decides to conduct more studies since vaping is growing rapidly. you vape your PG ill vape my VG and we'll see how how health is in the next decade

Happy vaping! p.s. sorry for hurting your eye :3

bio diesel can easily be made from vegetable or cooking coil diesel engines can run a wide variety of fuels petrol and plant based. bio diesel is made from plant instead of using nasty crude oil(petrolium) id rather vape plant oil than something that was lab synthesized from 1,000,000 year old rotting material in the ground
