Vaping is a popular trend right now, and you’ve probably experienced some of the buzz that comes with it. It’s become popular because many people like the idea of smoking without all of the harmful chemicals in cigarettes. As such, more and more people are using it as an alternative to smoking traditional cigarettes.
When you first start using an electronic cigarette, you may experience side effects. Don’t worry. It’s all normal. If you’re already trying to pick out the perfect mesh tanks and vape pen to buy, or are interested in vaping but are wondering how it all works, then continue reading. Here, we share some side effects to expect when you transition from smoking to vaping
Coughing
Coughing is one thing most people experience when trying to quit smoking. And this always happens whether you’re using e-cigarettes or simply going cold turkey. As you stop smoking and your body gets rid of all of the tar that was previously distributed in your lungs, you’re bound to cough up some phlegm in the process.
Coughing can be uncomfortable. However, it is an essential part of the process for ex-smokers. But it will eventually come to an end, and your lungs will be healthier and more comfortable as time goes by. Note that the vapour from your vape has no effect on this. Nevertheless, remember to stay hydrated during this time because water aids in the clearance process and can prevent coughing.
Oxygen Dizziness
The amount of oxygen you can breathe in is regulated by your heart and lungs. When smoking, the flow of blood to your brain and other organs slows down, which results in less oxygen being pumped around your system than if you were not smoking. Switching to vaping does allow for better blood circulation and organ function because it delivers more oxygenation than cigarettes do.
You will feel lightheaded or woozy at first because you’re not used to all of the oxygen in your lungs. Your brains sense of balance will readjust itself to accommodate this new physical introduction of nicotine into your body. If you’re vaping too heavily and don’t feel better after a few days, you may be vaping too much or on too high a strength of E-liquid. So, take smaller puffs or try out a weaker strength E-liquid.
Headaches
Because your body absorbs nicotine from e-cigarettes differently than nicotine present in regular cigarettes, you may have a headache. Different nicotine strengths are available in e-cigarette e-liquid. While many people find that their bodies react well to their preferred quantity of nicotine, others may have too little or too much. An excessive dose of nicotine can cause headaches, nausea, and tremors. The good thing is that there are a number of different strengths you can try until you find the one that best suits you.
Conclusion
