Hi there,
I have a question related to some DIY 48 mg nicotine 100% VG liquid I got from ............
I am a veteran vaper but have only had some brief flings with DIY mixing. I am taking more of an interest in it now because I have started macerating my own tobacco extracts so it will be necessary for me to do some of my own mixing with flavourless PG/VG and nicotine.
About 3 months ago I decided to try some of my own mixing with some doublers and concentrates I got from two good vendors in Australia. I had a friend gift me a bottle of 48 mg Nicotine liquid from ............ This bottle is probably now about 18 months old but could be older.
I made some mixes with 33% (a third) of this 48 mg 100% VG nic liquid with doubles and concentrates into my own blends of liquids a few months ago. I calculated that my juices would contain 16 mg of nicotine, which is the strength I usually vape at.
I find that these liquids make me feel ill pretty quickly. I mixed several good doubler flavours with this 48 mg nicotine and all the liquids leave me feeling jittery, light headed and put me off vaping for a while. As far as I know I've never had an allergic reaction to PG or VG.
In order to rule out that there was too much nicotine in my mixes I mixed some trial batches. In one I put 20% of the 48 Mg 100%VG liquid and in another I went down as low as 10%. At 20% the nicotine should be approximately 10 mg and at 10% it should be as low as 4.8%.
Now the problem I am having is that even at these lower ratios which ordinarily should barely give me a throat hit, I am still feeling a bit ill when I vape them.
What can be possibly causing this reaction? A few days ago I vaped a 33% mix of the 48mg liquid (16% by my calculations) and it left me feeling ill all day. I lost my desire to vape and I felt off colour. Today, when sampling my lower ratio blends I was getting that jittery feeling even just puffing the mixes. Surely, if my calculation are out a little it shouldn't cause this sort of reaction.
The way this DIY nicotine liquid plays is like a 100mg nicotine liquid which has been mislabeled. Has anyone ever experienced this before or heard of it? What else could be making me sick that is in 48Mg nicotine 100% VG liquid?
The other curious thing about this liquid is that it is not giving me a strong throat hit that indicates a high nicotine content like a good solid liquid with high nicotine. It's a smooth hit that immediately leaves me feeling off colour and jittery.
Any advice would be appreciated.
