I bought a bottle of VG from cvs, found it in the skincare isle and it said glycerin 95.5% pure. Well it tasted sweet and the vapor was great but brother GAG it gave me a pounding headache, made me feel numb and gernerally nauseous.

On the other hand, I have had no ill effects using PG

Try scowling your eyesbrows and holding it for like 5 minutes. that's how it made me feel.

Thanks smog, this is the kind of response I am looking for.

I'm not looking for armchair diagnosis or medical advice. I don't need a doctor to tell me to stop doing something that's making me sick. That part is obvious, and the only reason I am vaping is because I was too sick to keep smoking. I very likely have to give up vaping too, but don't want to. All's I wanted to know is if I'm the only one here who can't take it.

You never mentioned the nicotine levell you are using.

Clinical description
After oral ingestion of nicotine, signs and symptoms of nicotine poisoning mimic those for nerve agent or organophosphate poisoning and typically include excess oral secretions, bronchorrhea, diaphoresis, vomiting (common, especially among children), diarrhea, abdominal cramping, confusion, and convulsions. Although tachycardia and hypertension are common, bradycardia and hypotension might also occur as a result of a severe poisoning

Your symptoms dont sound like anything I have experienced vaping or doing anything else for that matter. Go see a doctor, for real man you might have something else wrong with you and you wont find out on a forum thats for sure.

I've not experienced any of those symptoms from vaping, although I am fairly new to it.

See a doctor, hon. And you don't have to bring up the vaping right away. The odds are your symptoms aren't related, but it's possible. I have kidney issues, and your symptoms sound similar to problems I have when I'm dehydrated. But a doctor needs to see you and make those decisions. Get healthy.

^This.

Me too. I do get dehydrated when I vape. I've started drinking more water - just straight water (because I am usually a coffee fiend). Vaping dries me out more than analogs did. Maybe I just never really noticed it before because there were so many other messed up things about analogs?
