Quite a few users have also had this problem. Let’s see what may have caused it for them.

I’m a new vaper and have been using it for a little over a week. Last week I used 3% pods and felt okay. This week I started using 5% pods, and I clearly felt short of breath, chest tightness, dizziness, and other symptoms. I looked it up online, and it may be caused by excessive nicotine intake. To test this, I didn’t vape at all yesterday, and I completely returned to normal. Then this morning at work, I took a few puffs, and the reaction came almost immediately—I started feeling short of breath and dizzy again. If you want to improve this situation, either switch your e-liquid, or better yet, stop using any smoking or vaping products and quit altogether.

Put simply, this situation is mainly caused by inhaling e-liquid directly—that is, the e-liquid did not atomize and entered your mouth directly. This may be due to leaking, spitback, or pulling too hard when inhaling. E-liquid entering the mouth directly can cause this kind of reaction, mainly because of the nicotine salts in it.

What causes shortness of breath after vaping? In summary, quite a few vaping users do experience this problem. It is very likely related to excessive vaping, which leads to too much nicotine intake. In such cases, symptoms like dizziness and chest tightness can occur. It is best to control how frequently you vape to avoid harming your health.
