Can't say for sure about migraines since there are various triggers for different people. As far as cancer, the alternatives are quitting entirely, or smoking, which has been proven to cause cancer. I think I will press my luck with vaping. Studies have shown risk factors for brain tumors include ionizing radiation from high dose X-rays, and possibly family history. There is still much that needs to be studied, but it's pretty much luck of the draw. I have done a lot of reading on the subject since I ended up drawing the short straw. Had surgery in February, radiation in April, and started my first cycle of chemo last week. Started vaping in April because it is the lesser of two evils. If you would like information on the possible health issues of vaping check out the health and medical issues board. You'll probably get better answers there, or have a discussion with your doctor. BTW, my doctor is hugely in favor of it.

LOL... oh come on don't be so mean.

But ya what LucentShadow said. I feel about 100x better than when I was smoking cigarettes soo... If they're any concerns well we all gotta die one day! & more often than not the air we breathe isn't all that squeaky clean either.

But really most "side effects" people experience are more related to quitting smoking than vaping. You do need to drink a lot more water when you vape though... can be a bit dehydrating.

Yes .. the brain is effected immediately by a slowly building need to buy more equipment and liquid .. as well, an addiction to the ECF website is a by-product ..

Slow building need? Mine must be in overdrive then! As for affecting the brain, my eyes go wonky...wait that's from reading so much and not due to vaping.

yeah my head is hurting on the middle, for about 3 hrs now but it's probably cus im trying to clean my self by working out with alot of cardio and i just thought that my headache came from all that fluid that's stuck in my brain since i like to vape alot.

Vaping is more likely to reduce the fluid in your skull. Glycerin is actually prescribed for too much fluid pressure in the skull or eyes.

Headaches can be caused by dehydration or too much nicotine. PG, and IMO to a much lesser extent, VG, both dehydrate you. Nicotine constricts blood vessels, as well.

Anyway, if you're looking for possible answers, you should give as much info as possible, such as:

- How long you've been vaping.
- How strong is the nic that you vape, and how much do you vape per day?
- How much PG and VG is in the e-liquid?
- Do you use any tobacco products along with vaping?
- How much water do you drink per day?
- Do you drink many caffeinated bevrages per day?

That kind of info. Without more info, I'd guess you're vaping too much nicotine and/or dehydrating yourself.
