Ok, so this is where I begin. I will start with a brief history of my vaping, and then I will move through the various stages that I went through to diagnose this horrible headache that I was getting from vaping my e-Cgis.
History: I was introduced into the vaping world through a smoke shop. I went there to get some tobacco shisha for my hookah. I asked the clerk if there was anything new added into inventory. The clerk brought out the Red Dragon (E9 model, 808-D2 cartomizer, buyreddragon.com). My lower lip took a plunge to the ground. They offered me the kit for $60 (originally $80). I bought it. I didn't like how it came with High cartomizers only, but that was minor at the time.
Started vaping the Red Dragon. The cartomizer lasted me all day, which I was happy about. I did research right away and found this forum. Found out about various suppliers and liquids and hardware. I'm still not done with finding the right supplier for me yet. Anyhow, I didn't like the high milligram of the nicotine that I was getting, because it was giving me a "headache".
So, I grabbed some blank 808-D2 cartomizers from LeCig.com and some 50PG/50VG 12mg e-juice from freedomsmokeUSA.com. I started refilling my cartomizers with the condom method and sometimes using the syringe method. After using the 12mg I thought for sure my headaches would be gone.. They were still there. I did more research on PG and VG, and I found that I could of had some allergic reactions from the PG.
So, I ended up buying 100%VG 6mg e-juice from Cignot.com. I was hoping the 12 mg was too high, and that this would fix the problem. Filled an empty cartomizer and hoped to god that helped. Well, it only helped with taking my soar throat away caused from the PG (ended up finding out PG is a skin irritant, and I could feel that). The damn headache was still there.. I was ready to throw the whole e-cig idea out the window.
I ended up smelling this strange odor when ever I would vape with the E9. It smelt like the filler was burning. I examined the cartomizer and sure enough, the filler was being burnt from the atomizer.. So, on a hunch I did some more research on cartomizers and cartridges. and this is where I ended up.
I read all these reviews on the Joye eGo. I ended up buying a Joye eGo kit (650 mAh) from Cignot.com. I was interested in the dripping method, and I was interested in the cartridges (regardless if they leaked or not). I just received my eGo today, and emptied out the 5 cartridges that the eGo came with. I cut the filler in half, so I could put more drops in the cartridge (14 drops total), and filled it with the 100%VG 6mg e-juice from cignot.com. I took a few hits from the gorgeous piece of plastic and metal and WOW.. Off the subject a little bit but this e-Cig is awesome with TH and Vapor production. Anyhow, I vaped the whole cartridge within two hours, and this whole time I was waiting for this headache to come.
Not one sign of a headache!
Finally, I came to the conclusion that it was the filler in the cartomizer that was burning up when the liquid was running just a tad low. I have not had any problems with the filler in the eGo after I cut them in half (I found this method on this forum and it works great -- no leaking or mouths full of liquid).
I hope this helps anyone that may be experiencing the same issue that I had. Thank you for reading this
