Premium vendors with 70/30 @ 1.5mg?

[nick779]

Does anyone know of any premium juice vendors that offer 1.5mg nic juices?

I picked up vaping again after a 8 month hiatus due to stress, and the 3mg on even my nautilus X is giving me headaches after a several puffs.

I also have a few local shops around me that mix their own, but I was always a bit uncomfortable using home brew liquids.

That's a hard one to find. Perhaps getting two bottles, one at 3mg and one at 0mg and mix them.

I agree with @Bonskibon...get 1 at 3mg and another at 0 and mix them = Same amount of flavor when mixed, but only 1/2 the nic level then!

Well, turns out it was only partially the nic. Getting light headaches and plugged ears after like every puff on Golden Ticket 3mg 70/30 N-X tank. Cut myself off for around 3 hours until everything was nearly back to normal, went to the local vape shop and chain vaped on 50/50 0mg ice tea for like 10 minutes on a cubis tank. Very, very light congestion, but no headaches.

Im wondering if its a combination of everything, too much nic, but also too much VG. I never really vaped high VG juices before, always used 65pg\35vg in the past on my ego twist, but im sub ohming occasionally now (less than 40W though)

It's really not possible IMO, to nail down which thing was causing the problem...when 4 variables were different, when you chain vaped at the shop and got no headaches. Your eliquid flavor, the nic mg, the PG/VG ratio, and the set-up you were using were all different than your usual.

IMO, you'd need to do multiple tests, as you're changing only 1 of those 4 variables at a time, (keeping the other 3 exactly the same as you've been vaping)...to see if you get congested and a headache. As you're changing only 1 thing at a time and test vaping it...as soon as you don't get the headache and congestion...the variable you changed in that test is the problem!

I guess I was going for the cheapest way to test different options quickly. I have several juices that are 70/30 and 3mg, all give me headaches even after a few puffs/DL hits. (one menthol fruit, one choc milk, I also have a bottle of Glas Pound Cake 0mg that ill be trying when my second tank comes in on monday)

The juice I tried comes in 10ml bottles so I can try a 70/30 0mg next , and then a 3mg to see if the headaches reappear.

You might try to find someone who can make plain unflavored nic/pg/vg base for you to try. That would eliminate flavors from the equation. If you can vape that without side effects all that's left is flavoring.

You didn't denote the actual pg/vg level. It's traditional to state the mix as pg/vg. Lots of vapers have started using their mix the same way but as vg/pg if the vg is the highest component. Sometimes, we don't know whether 70/30 means 70pg/30vg or 70vg/30pg.

It would be good if the industry would promote the pg/vg configuration to be the standard.

Just a thought here @nick779 are the e-Liquids you are getting a headache with old? Been sitting around?

 

[nick779]

They were brand new. Ended up being a light sinus infection

Glad to hear you solved the problem and the like was not for the sinus infection!
