whats the nic level of your joose?? are you chain vaping?? It could be to much nic??
Usually, too much nic, or sometimes dehydration. Water helps. Try lower nic, or vaping less. It's different with vaping because you don't feel the effect in the same way as cigs. You're missing 4,999 or so other chemicals some of which had effects that you felt with the nic. Also, the nic is absorbed though the mouth and other tissues as well as the lungs, so if you're a "puffer" and don't inhale you still get more nic than you would have with smoking cigs.
2 cents worth of guesses.
EDIT: BTW... you vape, not smoke. It isn't smoke, and that's a good thing. Just FYI.
As for flavor issues... can of worms. You may wish to look into the DIY section and start a process of elimination since you probably won't know what's in a vendor's juice.

+1 for water. Dehydration can be easily left unnoticed, especially when you don't know symptoms.

3. Headache, Nausea, Shakiness - but see #V4
These, together with irritability, inability to concentrate, poor sleep, depression and so on, are common nicotine withdrawal symptoms. If you are using a low-strength refill liquid and not absorbing as much nicotine as when you normally smoked, you can experience these withdrawal symptoms, which typically last only a few days to a week. Perhaps the use of a higher nic strength refill liquid might be a good idea temporarily, reducing the strength as needed.

90% probability it is the Nicotine. One of the most common symptoms of too much nic. It can build up. Buy some lower nic juice for when you are vaping alot. Or put your ecigs in another room so you don't vape too much.
Less likely you bought auto batteries - some people get headaches from sucking on auto batteries.
Less likely it could be dehydration - drink plenty of fluids.
Re cigarettes and nicotine - You probably also didn't smoke every bit of smoke coming out of your cigarettes from tip to filter.

Swedishfish is probably right, try upping your nic level to 12mg and drink more water.
Withdrawal in the First Two Weeks
Because the first two weeks are so critical in determining quitting failure rates, smokers should not be shy about seeking all the help they can during this period.
Withdrawal symptoms begin as soon as four hours after the last cigarette, generally peak in intensity at three to five days, and disappear after two weeks. They include both physical and mental symptoms.
Physical Symptoms.
During the quitting process people should consider the following physical symptoms of withdrawal as they were recuperating from a disease and treat them accordingly as they would any physical symptoms:
Tingling in the hands and feet
Sweating
Intestinal disorders (cramps, nausea)
Headache
Cold symptoms as the lungs begin to clear (sore throats, coughing, and other signs of colds and respiratory problem)

When I tried to quit smoking in the past I had headaches that were unbearable. Bang your head against the wall type headaches. When I stopped smoking and started vaping, I had slight headaches for a few days. About 1/1000 of the headaches I had when I tried to quit smoking.
Agreed with everything said so far. I'm not sure what you were smoking before, but if it was something light, it's possible that vaping even something as low as the 6mg (especially if you chain vape) is a contributing factor. I smoked American Spirits so I started out on 18mg and had to move to 24mg. I've managed to ween myself to 8, 11, and 12mg but everyone is different.
As far as I've heard, vaping is even more dehydrating than smoking (although I sure didn't believe that at first - when I started drinking more water the difference was instantaneous!)... Therefore you're getting a triple whammy: dehydration coupled with possible nic withdrawal and definite additive withdrawal (assuming you smoked cigs w/ additives) coupled with the possibility of too much nic. All easily fixable over time. I'm sure we can all speak from experience and say, it does get better. It's all a matter of time.
That being said, welcome. You've stumbled upon an awesome resource.

I've had similar headaches. I'm a soda drinker and do not drink near enough water. I get the headaches more in the evening after i've been vaping all day. I smoked light cigarettes and think I may have been overdoing it with the nicotine, I have been using the 18mg juice. I try to keep a bottle of water nearby and take a drink after a i've vaped a bit. It has helped alot! Funny thing about the dehydration, my lips and throat are dry, but my nose is really moist due to blowing the vapor out of my nose!
