Hi all from New Zealand. Well I started using a vapor/E ciggy Monday at 16.50pm and today it is 8.33am Saturday morning and have not had a ciggy all week. I have smoked for 30 years and I am feeling very proud. I use a 0mg Nicotine oil (Dragon Fruit) and have done all week. Have noticed a serve case of Tinnitus in the last couple of days so I let my fingers doing the walking to good old Google. From what I am reading, it seems to be common in oil that has Nicotine in it. It is actually driving me mental lol. As the tittle says this is all so new to me so any advise would be very appreciated.
All so new to me

We've never really figured it out here on Ecf I don't think. Thought it'd be nic or PG. You've eliminated the nic and most eliquid nowadays is heavy on the VG. That leaves flavoring, steam, and sucking?? I don't notice mine much anymore unless someone posts about it 
Hi @Marissa Gough , and welcome to ECF! GOOD JOB on the progress you are making! Not to pick nits, but "oil" isn't really present in ELiquid, or sure shouldn't be. VG (vegetable glycerin) and/or PG (propylene glycol) are the ingredients besides flavorings and nicotine.
After a little googling, I'm VERY skeptical about any link between vaping (aside from the nicotine) and tinnitus. Nicotine is a vasoconstrictor, so it shrinks blood vessels including those in your ears and can exacerbate tinnitus. If you never noticed it while smoking though, I would suggest you see a doctor, as you may have another issue causing it.
I hope you get that sorted out, and I'd like to wish you good luck on quitting the smokes!
Welcome and glad you joined. Keep up the good work.

Your braver than me (& most).
No nicotine! Already! 
Perhaps slowly reduce your nicotine so your body gets used to it. Good luck

Welcome! It sounds like your body is going through withdraw. The reason that most smokers who switch to vaping tend to relapse is because the e-liquid nicotine strength isn't as high as they are used to. Choosing the right strength (especially starting out) is very important. What cigarettes did you used to smoke?
