Hi all,
From around 2007 (when I started smoking), I began to regularly sweat in my armpits regardless of circumstance. I could be in a cool room by myself and without fail, my underarms would be soaked with sweat.
I quit smoking and started using strong (Extra Sterk) Swedish Snus in the middle of 2009, and my sweating problem became even worse. It was a great source of embarrassment for me to always be sweating, even when most other people weren't. I always had to prepare my clothes with an extra "sweat-soaking" layer underneath, even during Summer.
Even strong anti-perspirant deodorants seemed to have no effect.
Switching from Snus to e-cigarettes, however, was a great surprise! I had stopped sweating in all those ridiculous situations. The only time I would find myself sweating for no reason was when I would chain-vape 24mg/ml e-juice.
And of course that is when I realized that nicotine had been the culprit the entire time!
Since I have a tendency to chain vape when at home, I now vape 12mg/ml or lower nicotine juice at home.
When I am out and about, and have less time to spend vaporizing, and fewer chances to get nicotine into my system, I use 24mg/ml e-juice.
Also, I've noticed that, since switching to e-cigarettes from Snus, my anxiety levels have shot down to near zero, when I used to be anxious easily. Again, I am almost certain this is a result of lowering my total nicotine intake.
This, in addition to not having a packet or two of Snus jammed into my gums all the time, means I smile more often, more easily, and my quality of life has significantly improved.
I am highly interested in psychopharmacology and attaining optimum cognitive performance. After reading about nicotine's potential benefits as a nootropic drug (brain-enhancing drug with little or few negative side effects), I recently ceased all nicotine use for two weeks.
After the first seven days (which were difficult), I noticed that I felt good in general, even without particular reason for feeling good. Despite this, my mind simply did not feel as sharp or well-functioning as it did when I had nicotine. And so, at the end of the two weeks, I began using my e-cigarettes again.
With e-cigarettes, and the nicotine involved, my mind feels clear and crisp, like a well-oiled machine. Since I've lowered my total nicotine intake, I feel that I am reaping the cognitive benefits of nicotine, without subjecting myself to the anxiety and sweating of higher nicotine levels.
So, for any of you e-cigarette users out there suffering from silly sweating issues or anxiety, I highly recommend cutting down your nicotine intake, and see if you get any results!
