Does anyone know how smoking an electronic cigarette will effect symptoms of PCS?

Current symptoms: Brain fog, mild memory issues, problems with spontaneity, occasional spacing out, word finding difficulties, tinnitus in right ear and some other things that I can't explain. Life after the brain injury: 4 years after the injury, I'm engaged to my beautiful girlfriend of 5 years, I'm the CEO of my own business, Notorious Labs, I've taught myself how to program complex games and apps which is a feat I never thought I'd accomplish and now live a semi-normal life with very mild PCS symptoms. Slowly but surely regaining my life back. |

I really don't know, but I am curious myself about it. Have other issues in which I don't want to do anything to agrevate. Let me know if you find out. My son uses one, and it got him off cigaretts. ginnie

I was smoking one a couple days ago. I couldn't really tell if it negatively effected my symptoms because I was under a great deal of stress, as well as just returning from a 4 day work adventure. If I find anything out I will let you know.
Hopefully someone will drop in here and shine some light on the subject. Good to hear from you ginnie. Nick

Nicotine from e-cigs effects the brain the same way any addictive chemical does. It also interrupts acetycholine receptors as it enters the dopamine system. You have accomplished too much to get stuck on the addiction road. Opening the addiction Pandora's box may have serious consequences.
Enjoy your babies. They should be a better high than anything nicotine can do.
