70/30 vg/pg making me feel sick?

[xDarkRelic]

Okay, so recently I've gotten into rdas. I've decided lowering my nic strength from 12mg to 6mg. I've also decided that I'm going to try out a different vg/pg ratio since my rda can handle what my tanks couldn't.

So I went with 70/30 vg/pg. It seems that when I vape these, after about 5 or 6 toots I start to feel kinda off. Like a heavy feeling in my stomach. And If I continue to vape them I start to feel kinda nauseous, and my gag reflex triggers which causes me to well, gag.

I have no idea what could be causing this effect. It's not nicotine overdose because I've dripped 12mg on my same single coil and I've never felt like this. As a matter of fact, I can chain vape 12mg no problems, other than the TH being a little strong.

Does anyone have any suggestions? I didn't think any kind of allergy was linked to VG.

It may still be the nicotine. If you are running lower ohms, and producing more vapor then 6mg might still be too much.

If you really think its the VG being too high then cut back and try something more like a 50/50 mix. I havent heard too much of people getting sick from high VG so if thats the case I would be interested to see if anyone else has this problem.

As many people can't handle high VG as can't handle high PG. I get a heavy chest/lung feeling from high VG. I prefer high PG, but 50/50 seemed to be the ideal ratio for most, before cloud chasing...

Interesting. I just never see the posts about high VG being a problem, I see mostly people having trouble with PG. I had no idea!

Ive noticed that high vg juice really screws with my blood sugar, and causes me to feel exhausted all the time. Unfortunately, I didn't realize this until AFTER I ordered a crap ton of juice.

So now I'm trying to figure out the best course of action.

Have you checked your blood sugar to make sure that's not the problem?

If my hubby tries a liquid with more than 10% VG, He throws up after just a few hits.

We experimented for a few days, with me not telling him the VG content of various brews (of the same flavor), so he'd be sure it wasn't his mind playing games, and yup, not more than 10%.

It also gives him serious heavy chest feeling.
I make him 100% PG juice and he's happy as a clam.

I get the heavy lung thing from VG, but I have to chain vape a ton of it. I have a sensitivity to PG, so the high VG fluids are my only option. I never felt any kind of actual sick from anything but too much nicotine though. 6mg is too strong for me in a RDA. I tried it and got a heck of a high. But I can chain vape 12 in a Kayfun all day long. VG vaporizes faster and makes bigger clouds, which means it also delivers more nicotine per puff. My vote still goes to your problem being too much nicotine. Try cutting down to a 3mg nic juice and see what happens.

I would play around with both nic and PG/VG levels. I found VG gives me the heavy chest feeling like I can't breathe along with severe nausea and skin breakouts if it is above 25%.

High vg affects my asthma. I just went to check out a new juice vendor but the lowest they mix is 70vg. Not sure I'm going to try it.

It is a Total amplification of consumption.
e-liquid is being consumed at a much higher rate.
Your problem could be any aspect of the e-liquid, however the most likely causes woult be Nic or Flavoring.
I dropped to 3mg using my RDA's and the vape is fine.
I also started reducing the flavoring in my Mixes and found most still deliver a good result with a few becoming an even better vape.

I have since transferred these mix levels back to my RTA's with successful results.

I had tummy issues from vaping high VG juice in a device that had a lot of spitting, I was constantly getting juice in my mouth.
I thought it was the nicotine initially so I mixed a VG only blend with the same flavouring.
My current set up though many years later I can use high VG no problem.

I'm gonna go with nic and/or flavorings.

Those are my big no-no's and to much of either makes me feel as you describe.

Once I got decent equipment and was able to drop nic and flavorings all negative parts of vaping went away.

I think I would try cutting nic a bit more, especially if you're subohming. If that doesn't work, mess with the PG/VG ratio.

I get the same heavy chest/nausea if I go over 50/50. 70/30 is my sweet spot.
