Hello. I am new here but I have been an e smoker for about two months. I am using the 510 with medium strength (11mg) juice and it's been smooth Sailing. But recently I started having terrible headaches. I know this is e cig related and has nothing to do with analogs. I can go a whole day just fine. But as soon as I take a couple puffs my head starts to pound. Feels like a sinus headache. Also recently the e cig has made my lungs feel weird. I actually quit e cigs because of these feelings. Could I be having a reaction to the pg? If I am then why is it happning months after I started.

This isn't happening to anybody else, so go see a doctor.

Are you under any medication for high blood pressure? A lot of people have found their blood pressure drops after getting off cigarettes and the medicine is trying to fight a problem they don't have any more. Think about what prescriptions you are currently taking and ask you doctor if you still need them.

Bottom line, ask your Doctor.

I am not taking medications and I am 25yrs old. When these problems started I stopped e cigs and didn't pick up analogs for about 5-6 days. Just last night I took a couple hits off of a fresh battery, brand new atomizer, and brand new cart. I didn't get a headache but it did start to affect my lungs. To say this is not e cig related is nonsense. I will see a doctor on my next day off for sure because I can't/don't want to pick analogs back up.

People have reported lung problems but generally it's because the lungs are healing. Mine, for a little while, had a realy bad ache to them even while I knew it was becoming easier to breath.

I also experienced migraine type headaches. They got better after I saw my doctor and he got rid of one of my BP meds.
Still have headaches occasionally but drinking more liquid usually takes care of it.

This is just my personal experience, and my advice is to do what I did, GO SEE YOUR DOCTOR.

One more thing, I did have to cut PG our for awhile. I use it again, but only a little mixed with VG.

Yes flavour are the bad boys that ppl love yet no dought it's the worst of them all..Am not saying it's something to kill you but most retailers who sells liquids have there own mix/blends. So you might want to either switch or have a word or two with the person who supply you. Also note at first when i started vaping i use to get headache/troat burns

Could be flavoring related....switch flavors lately? new brand of same flavors? Could be one supplier uses X brand and another uses Y brand yet same flavor....Just my .02....good luck tho, I hate headaches!!!!

I'll second that,I used to feel like that when i got new flavors, especially ones i didn't like but kept trying. change them and maybe less nicotine for awhile.
