Let me explain I normally vape juices at 65pg 35 vg or 70pg 20 vg I ordered some juices that were only available at a 50 50 ratio taste is fine very vapable but about 10 to 15 min after Ive vaped them i get a nasty sick feeling in my stomach and am somewhat dizzy. For the past two days Ive vaped my older bottles of 65 35 will no ill effects and I guess I like to torture myself tried a few hours ago with a tankfull of a new steeped juice at the 50 50 ratio and felt ill afterwards not while vaping it like a nicotine head rush but around the 10 to 15 min mark after I stopped vaping it.

yeah just with the order I placed almost a month ago I always like the throat hit of pg and never really cared about the clouds and never had any side effects from pg but the juices i wanted were only available at a 50 50 never ordered 50 50 before so thought maybe the vg does not agree with me. You think I possibly got some bad juice though?

Yes to me those symptoms sound more like you have gotten a higher nic level than what you are used to. Maybe the bottle was mislabeled.
The way my intolerance to VG manifests is when I go higher in VG I get a heavy feeling in my chest and start producing more phlegm in the back of my throat at 70/30 down to 50/50 I can vape with that happening moderately but anything below 50/50 starts to effect me more.

Hey thanks guys I'll email the vendor tomorrow to see what they say prob just have to eat the cost since noone offers refunds on ejuice and no clue how I would prove it was their mistake. Order from a different vendor 2 months ago at 65pg 35 vg was 1.8mg nic I decided on this order to step it down as I think at this point its more hand mouth habit and boredom so this order on a 50pg 50 vg was 1.2 nic so if it was mislabeled who knows what the nic content is.

I'm suspicious of what you said about the Nic level...in the eliquids you have. I've never heard of any vendors selling eliquids that are 1.8mg and 1.2mg Nic...in any PG/VG ratio! They're usually 0mg, 3mg, 6mg, 12mg, 18mg, etc. People who make their own eliquids could make theirs at those levels though.

Are you sure they were listed as being 1.8mg and 1.2mg Nic? Can you provide a link here to the 2 you bought?

Just a quick Google search, 1.8mg & 1.2mg are just 18mg/ml & 12mg/ml, just move the decimal one place, not uncommon.

Hello.....The above is exactly why I asked the OP if he could provide a link to what was sold as 1.8mg and 1.2mg Nic. I've personally never seen any eliquid carried by US vendors...labelled that way for Nic content. It's always 0mg, 3mg, 6mg, etc., since that's the norm here. Too easy to confuse US buyers if labelled or sold otherwise IMO.

Since the OP talked about stepping down his Nic, and probably needing to just satisfy the hand-to-mouth habit with vaping...possibility exists that he thought he was actually getting only 1.8mg and 1.2mg Nic in the eliquids!
