    Vaping high VG liquids and GI issues

    Yes, that's true. Although I have found that if I vape high PG liquids (>60% PG), the problem goes away, and then a few times for a day I've gone back to high VG liquids and the problem comes back. I also get the same issues when I drink Olive Leaf Extract that I have, which is suspended in a VG...

    Depression and nicotine

    Sure, I still get periods of both depression and anxiety, though as I've gotten older, and through decades of work on myself, the frequency and depth of both seem to be less. Unfortunately, there isn't a quick fix usually. I'm not here to tell you that you should or shouldn't go down the drug...

    Vaping high VG liquids and GI issues

    Hi Anna, yes, maybe it is not that common, in fact it probably isn't I guess. Although I have found at least one other thread on this here, as well as a few places elsewhere that describe this. VG is noted as having these properties for some, I guess that as most people don't have this...

    Depression and nicotine

    It's probably best for you to talk that over with your Doctor. But since you asked, I will give you my non-medical, personal opinion. I wouldn't take benzodiazepines for anything other than a very short while, if at all, as they are highly addictive. I've taken valium before. Sure, it works...

    Vaping high VG liquids and GI issues

    Well thanks everyone for the lively discussion :p I know, I know, it is a topic that we don't like to talk about. I understand. I actually tried to go and edit my post to 'dumb it down' and make it more 'palatable', so to speak, but was too late, lol.. But for what it's worth, if it helps...

    Depression and nicotine

    Yes, I too have suffered depression and anxiety for a long time. Actually one of the main reasons I had trouble quitting smoking was that every time I quit, I'd get a deep, black depression along with much higher anxiety. That is, until I discovered vaping. Fortunately, I suffered no depression...

    Good High PG Liquids

    Hi @AnthonyB - I am on the lookout for high PG liquids as well. So far for me, the only two places I have found with high PG are: Premium E-Cigarettes, E-Liquids & Vape Kits | Halo Cigs Premium USA Vape Juice and Vaping Equipment | Mister-E-Liquid With Halo cigs, I am not sure on the PG/VG...

    Vaping high VG liquids and GI issues

    Hi all, this post is more for information purposes, as I hope if anyone else has similar issues, then they might find this info useful. Basically, I quit smoking and completely switched to vaping around 6-7 months ago. I didn't know it at the time, but when I started vaping, all the e-liquids...

    Unbearable side effects - help!

    Yes, thanks @Cool_Breeze - I actually looked at WTA liquids before I made the switch to vaping, but the higher cost, along with difficulties in sourcing it made me end up just getting regular e-juice.

    Unbearable side effects - help!

    Hi Jebbn, thank you for the "Aussie" rating :), and thanks for sharing honestly. Yes, anxiety is a b*tch, but it helps to talk about it, and even better, sometimes just talking about it opens up ideas or strategies on how to deal with it that we might not have considered before. Yes, I...

    Unbearable side effects - help!

    Hi Jebbn, no, it's not too personal at all. All we can do is try and help each other, I often rely on online support for things. Sometimes, conventional wisdom, or even Doctors can only help so far. For me looking back, I had a spike in anxiety that seemed to correlate very much with the time...

    Unbearable side effects - help!

    Hi Monica_dr, sorry to hear that vaping has been giving you a bad time. I hope that if you want to use vaping to get off and stay off the smokes, that you can figure out what works for you. I know that for me, in 6 months of vaping and free of the smokes, I've had a range of issues, some may...

    Newbie needing suggestions

    Yes, all good advice here, and welcome! I'll just add weight to what has been said - I started on the Innokin T22, but "moved up" to the Innokin Kroma with Zenith tank. Much better for me. Initially I liked the T22, but when I tried the Kroma with Zenith tank, I liked it much more. The T22 was...

    Need a durable vape!

    I don't know if it has been mentioned yet, but I get good longevity out of the Innokin Zenith MTL Tank. You can just buy the tank if you want, and add it to any mod you choose, it uses a standard 510 screw. Or you could buy the zenith tank as part of a complete kit. I prefer to use a mod with a...

    The Importance of E-liquid Flavours

    Yes, it is a psy op in Australia too. Crazy stuff. I told my local doctor the other day that I had quit smoking and was vaping instead, and he wasn't impressed. Oh well. And we have ads on TV here that are advertising nicotine inhalers, and the latest ads advertise berry flavour nicotine...

    Best Gourmet Ejuice Vendors #3 - Juice Junkies Saga Continues

    Good to hear. I knew The Clean Vape were sucralose free, but didn't know about Adirondack Vapor. Also, Adirondack hare having a bit of a sale at the moment, I think 20 or 25% off most of their juice.

    Best Gourmet Ejuice Vendors #3 - Juice Junkies Saga Continues

    Cool. Yes, Sagamore is a good one, is one of my fav's. You could look at Cascade and Saratoga as well, all three are good (part of Adirondack's "Summit" series), but IMHO Sagamore is the best of the 3.

    Best Gourmet Ejuice Vendors #3 - Juice Junkies Saga Continues

    No worries, @newyork13 :) Yes, the Clean Vape don't use sweeteners, I know that. I am not sure about Adirondack Vapor, I think with them it might depend on the particular juice. As for Golden State Vapor, they do use sweetener, and a lot of it as far as I know. I base this both on the taste...

    Light phlegmy cough

    Vape-king, I have been getting a slight phlegm cough the past week or so, but only for about 5 minutes at the start of the day. Can't say for sure, but have been vaping higher VG lately. It is just in my throat, not lungs, and clears or goes away after a few coughs. No big deal for me. VG might...
