Headache causing ingredients in e liquids?

[Minzy]

Hey all,

i'm a fairly new vaper, and haven't had any issues with vaping, till now.

i bought a fizzy cola liquid. kinda tastes like those cola sweets. when i take a deep lung hit, or chain vape that juice, i get a pain in the sinus area across the bridge of the nose (kinda like a brain freeze). I've compiled a list of things that i know are NOT the cause.

1) Nicotine level: the juice is 6mg. I've had other 6mg and higher (up to 24mg) juices with no problems.
2) VP/PG ratio: The juice is PG 60/ VG 40. I've had higher PG and higher VG juices with no problems.
3) Dehydration: i know vaping can be dehydrating. so i make sure to drink lots of water. and as mentioned before, no issues with other juices.

Ingredients stated on the juice is:
- PG 60%, VG 40%
- Natural and Artificial flavorings
- Nicotine USP/EP

Long story short, only that particular juice gave me problems. no other juices I've tried have that effect on me.

i was wondering, with the wealth of knowledge the experienced vapers have here, are there any ingredients used in e liquids that can potentially cause headaches? So that i may avoid those ingredients.

Thanks in advance, and Merry Christmas!

Gassy type juice normally have this problem.I also have this problem like you thus i always avoid cola/sprite type ejuice.

Maybe it has a 'Fizzy' ingredient, LOL.

Have tried normal Hangsen cola, no such issues. Try to avoid unknown brands, esp those local brands in M'sia which can make you puke, maybe they put Ganja in you also dunno (happened before in a local drinks stall in SG)

Many liquids, esp those sour or fruity type will give a 'Sneezing' effect not that they are harmful. Melon from Hangsen or Blueberry from Dekang for instance, give me the same effect but very tasty.

But they are not enough to cause 'brain freeeze' though, hence its better to avoid that liquid.

Can't help with the ingredients part, but I most often experience either the brain freeze like symptom, headache or both simultaneously when I try strong menthol e-liquids, regardless of flavours. Mild menthol+bad tasting juices give me a headache occasionally too lol.

Thanks everyone for sharing their experiences. i guess i'll avoid any flavour that tries to replicate a soft drink. >.<

i bought my Fizzy Cola in Sept, till now it is still at 30% volume. To answer your question, yes i think it is the juice that is giving you problems.

Just saw this thread and just chime in abit.

1). Most likely you've gotten a bad batch of juice. Just saying.

2). Or the juice used way too much flavoring.

3). Strong menthol flavors. DIY or whatever. It usually burns. And your nose WILL drip.


Usually case number 2 is the "hidden" culprit. Don't believe me? Go Ikea Tampines, walk through the scented candles and fragrance section, and tell me if you experience the same thing with your nose.

What i would do is diluting it to 3mg, you may also be bale to find out if it is indeed too much flavoring in this batch. cheers!

Been vaping for 4 years now, lucky for me I haven't had that issue. Though I DIY my juices.
Personally I would just throw that juice away if its causing you headaches XD.

Well, i pushed through it, coz i didn't wanna waste it. Finally finished it. lol

Recently tried 888 and some new flavor with high menthol, it gave me a brain freeze and immensely strong headache. Stop vaping, rested and drink plenty of water and started vaping non menthol juices. Feeling normal
