Vaping, as a less harmful alternative to smoking, has gained more and more popularity and concerns. Coincidentally, smokers and vapers both consider vaping as a way of relaxation or a method for anxiety relief. However, some vapers may find out that they feel tired after vaping. Today we are going to figure out whether vaping can make you tired or not and solutions to the fatigue caused by vaping.
1. What Is In The Vape?
A vape, or formally an e-cigarette is a device that vaporizes the ejuice and delivers vapor. Ejuice is our first suspect. Usually, a regular vape (nic) contains ejuice composed of PG, VG, nic and flavorings. By the way, flavorings make your vape sweet and vapes do not have sugar in them. PG and VG are quite common in everyday life and we have only one option left now.
2. Does Vaping Make You Tired?
(1) Does Nic Keep You Awake?
As we all know, nic is a highly addictive substance but there is more than one explanation for cravings for cigarettes or disposable vapes. For example, vapers and smokers often claim that they use nic as a way of refreshing themselves.
Scientifically, nic belongs to the Stimulant category. It means that when nic is absorbed, it increases your blood pressure and makes your focus better in a short period of time.
(2) Why Does Nic Make Me Tired?
Here is the plot twist. Although nic is not as powerful as other stimulants such as cocaine, you will become calm again and this process is referred to as a "Crash". In short, the temporary calmness wears off and you will feel tired again.
Repeated use of vapes on the other hand, especially disposable kits, leads to nic tolerance. This means that you need more nic to "stay calm" or the stimulations disappear faster than usual. Can vaping make you tired? Of course, it does.
3. How to Avoid Nic Fatigue?
As I put above, suitable doses of nic, or more specifically, good vaping habits can prevent nic overdose and make use of nic effects.
