Have I joined the ranks of the PG sensitive?

I also just tried vaping with straight VG. Um. No. I felt an immediate weird spacey feeling. When I tried vaping with some 18mg cut with the VG, I felt pretty strange then, too. Maybe my body is just adjusting to something, or I just need very reduced nic with PG only in it. I suppose I could try to purchase some PG tomorrow, if it can be gotten around here.

Well, I'm cautiously optimistic. :) I used the VG to cut the 18mg to 8-10mg (using drops instead of precise measurements means I can't be entirely sure of the exact nic amount), and I'm feeling SO much better. My headache is going away and I feel MUCH less fuzzy. I'm not sure if that means I need reduced nic or reduced PG, but I can just cut it this way until I get back from vacation when I'll have time to get to the bottom of it. Either way, I'm VERY relieved that I'm feeling better.

Jleigh I switched to purely 8 to 11 mg cartos and it worked for me! I vape like heck and I also slowed down cutting out analogs since I did this I have not had a single problem! I was a 2 pack a day smoker the first time I was down to only 4 this time arround Im only down to about 3/4 to 1 pack a day but I am progressing! im at half or less then half of what I was for over 20 years! If I need an analog I smoke it! I think some of us are just more sensitive :( good luck and let us know how it goes! You might want to try cutting with pure glycerin from walmart if you do drop of each it should roughly cut the nic in half and its cheap and easy to get even for your trip!

Hi Cimyss. :)

I do have vegetable glycerin that I'll bring with me on my trip (which is what I cut the 18mg with tonight), along with all my liquids. I'm still down to about 4 cigs a day. If I want one, I have one, but with vaping, I don't want one very often. I was just going nuts because the symptoms I had were symptoms of three things: nic withdrawal, nic OD, and dehydration. But, since the cutting with VG *seems* to be working well, I *think* it was too much nic, although I can't yet rule out that I need reduced PG.
