Making this thread in hopes to see if others have experienced the same as I did in recent months, in hopes we can pin point to the root of this problem. Its now almost a month and my headache is just as bad as the first day.

Minutes after vaping 24% Amaeretto flavored juice with max vg I started getting a severe pounding headache. Now almost a month later and no change.

This isnt nicotine adjustment headache which is nothing compared to this, this is an extremely toxic ill feeling headache that wont reside.


Anyone with the same or similar experience please PM or share your thoughts. Currently seeking medical attention.
 
I discovered that I have the same sensitivity to tobacco e-juice as I do to combustible tobacco, which contributes to headaches.

Really bad, pounding headaches could be nicotine OD or a sensitivity to your juice. Dehydration is a concern but I would think this would take longer to show up.

Does your juice taste OK? Burning glycerin is pretty nasty stuff, your juice should not taste burnt.

What equipment are you using?

...
Sorry if I'm being dense but the above reads to me as though you have had a continual headache for a month or more.
Is this the case or are you saying you get a headache each time you vape?

If the former you need a medical opinion not input from an internet forum.
If the later is what you intended to say then there are several things you may want to consider.

First thing would be to cut the nicotine percentage. That would be the most obvious thing. Try half of what your using, 12mg rather than 24mg.

Its continuous with a hangover effect for the entire month, at time its better then others, needless to say I did not touch this juice after the first day. My buddy who vaped the same batch is in the same boat. 1.5 or 2.0 ml in total.

Also for the first time the juice came seperating, no matter how much I let it sit, it would not mix. 25% of I assume the flavoring above and 75% of nic and vg at the bottom. That is the only thing I see different from past experiences. I am in touch with a reputable physician regarding these juices and also now awaiting a toxicologist visit for perhaps testing this batch.

I dont think I requested medical opinion here and have stated currently seeking medical attention. This post is to get in touch with others who may have had the same symptoms or side effects not asking you for medical advice.

That is correct. The main reason for this post is to get in touch with others who may have had similar long term effect and try to find a root cause nothing more.

This batch of juice will eventually be tested and I will ensure to post results of the findings here.

Whether this is an issue or not this is a pic of the juice not mixing and separating. Which I seen very few threads of the same, this may be totally irrelevant, however it is the only relation at the moment that I see between the headaches and the juice. The juice will be tested at top and bottom. They refuse to mix no matter how much shaking is done.

Again this post is to find anyone who may have had long term headaches from vaping a particular nic.

With what part and I will do my best to clarify for you.

Have you been vaping the whole month?
Have you been using the same liquid?
What equipment, mod/battery and atomizer are you using?
Have you tried to change anything?
Some liquids will separate while sitting for long periods, does it remix when shaken?
Why a toxicologist?

You are being far too obtuse about specifics of your situation, yet at the same time expecting some kind of an exact answer. If this was a common problem you would have already found your answer.

I can't even tell if you are still vaping this same liquid - on purpose - just to see what happens. For what it's worth, in over three and a half years I have only run across one bottle of liquids that separated, rapidly separated again after each shaking and... I didn't even consider vaping it.

But anyone reporting in that they had a headache lasting an entire month after they started vaping "liquid X"? No, you are unique in this respect. You would also be unique if you continued to keep doing it if you thought that the liquid was the source of the problem.

And yeah, you are gonna get "seek medical advice" because it sounds like you are a potential candidate for a brain aneurysm. Some times coincidence just happens and not every single thing that happens to a person is somehow "vaping related."

I only vaped 1.5ml then headache started ( initially did not relate headache to juice) after headache intensified I quit for two weeks with no change to headache and now vaping flavorless for a week or so. My friend has completely stopped all vaping activity and also suffering from headaches after vaping this stuff.

Iam using a vv3 variable voltage with mini protank 3 with dual coils and also have an Arotank 2 by smoktech using T3s Kanger coils on them.

The vendor claimed this is normal behavior due to the max vg content. I have no reason to doubt them as I am certain they are professionals.

This was Amaretto flavored nic juice.

The juice refuses to stay mixed regardless of mixing.

When chemical exposures are a possible cause of a side effect, Toxicologists are best qualified.

."

Show me where I expect some sort of an answer from you or the board. The main point of this thread was to have others who may have experienced headaches after vaping to contact me. I dont see where I asked you for any sort of answer tough guy.

Since you did not answer, I'll ask again for WillyZee:

1) What vendor?

2) Is this an online vendor or a local brick and mortar shop?

3) Have you tried other e-juice?

4) Have you tried another vendor?
