Sorry about your problems! I don't have any advice. I think Glen misunderstood your statement about 'the doctors not knowing much about vaping' and took it to mean 'the doctors didn't know about my vaping', meaning he thought you didn't tell them you were vaping. Try the thing someone suggested above of mixing your juice down a little at a time to get to lower levels, and look into the coffee thing. I think that's worth some examination.
been to the E.R. 4 times for severe anxiety attacks since I started vaping

Jwark, I messaged you and I'm here to commiserate if you need me. I truly can't emphasize this enough though, that even trying to go a day without any caffeine at all (decaf, chocolate included) might make you feel incredible. It entirely freed me of the same symptoms you describe. I'm chain vaping 24mg right now with no trouble. And yet with even a few sips of coffee I felt as though I was going to die, despite the doctor's assurances that all known medical tests attested to my health.
Go a day with no caffeine at all -- no Coke Zero, nothing with tea extract, no chocolate. If you still have symptoms feel free to call me a crank.

I survived a year feeling this way every day. In fact, it's what motivated me to move to vaping. It had to be the Nicotene, or so I assumed. Instead it was caffeine, which I'd been imbibing like a fiend forever. Never needed a prescription. Cut the caffeine and that was the end of it.
Man. I guess I will try it. You have no idea what a coffee freak I am, though. You are asking me to give up one of my passions, haha. I've spent a small fortune on my espresso machine and grinder. I also have fresh beans fedexed to me on a regular basis. I'd rather give up vaping! It's worth an experiment, though.
Your body's dependency on nicotine actually leaves pretty quickly, ask anyone who has quit smoking cold turkey.
First 10 days hard, after that, its pretty much psychological. As for the coffee....MIX full caf with 1/2 DECAF...it will cut down on the shakes. I've been drinking mine 1/2 and 1/2 for years!
(wasn't sleeping well so I tried that......works like a charm. ) Then I even walked it down to 1/4 caffeine, 3/4 decaf. That's what i drink now and my body has adjusted well.
How much did you smoke? Your anxiety attacks might be triggered by the absence of SSRI's that are put in cigarettes. (one of the reasons Chantix claims to help smokers quit...not that I suggest you go that route). I would try suggest experimenting with a lower nicotine and a lower PG and lower VG alternately and see how you go. ie 0 mg nicotine, a 100% VG and an 80/20 PG/VG ratio to see how you react to that. Normally nicotine overdose has a more immediate effect of headaches and nausea as a previous poster stated. As you mention, maybe you have been drinking a lot more coffee in the absence of lighting up a cigarette. Caffeine can cause pain in the chest, or breasts, when taking too much. Keep checking in with your doctor though, because it's also possible that vaping isn't for you, and you may need to try snus instead.
im not sure if it will help you any but i used to get mild anxiety with vaping and i thought it was the nic level or pg/vg Then a friend told me to drink more water and see if it helps. apparently it was just mild dehydration and also the body beginning the detox.
good luck and hope all gets better!

I have major anxiety problems. Even before I started vaping.
Although when I first started I was having issues with vaping to much and getting that nasty anxiety attack.
Two things. Lower your nicotine content and drink tons of water.

I have had anxiety attacks prior to vaping, but they are pretty much under control with Klonopin now. I have noticed an annoying flash of pain in my chest area (mostly in the middle), once in a while, but I've also noticed that I've been drinking more caffeine. I have a soda addiction and do need to drink more water! Good luck to you!
Same here, man, but to never feel that way again? I'd trade the world.
I been vaping since last Nov..
In the last couple month I have noticed I sometimes get a felling I'm not getting enough air so I have to take 2-3 deep breaths. Lots of times it at night, I wake up and feel like I'm getting nothing when I breath so I have to take deep breaths.
No idea if its anxiety or something else.

Get a sleep study for sleep apnea. Don't stall. This is different, and unlike anxiety legitimately lethal.
no ssri's in cigarettes… just because ssri's help with quitting doesn't mean they are "in cigarettes". method of action of many pharmaceutical companies are unknown, and this is why many medications that treat one thing, are used to treat things completely unrelated. i.e. buproprion, anti-depressant, was the same drug marketed as chantix until they realized it was also causing depression issues (now the drug is varencicline).
