Headaches from certain eliquids?

[Alter]

I was getting random headaches, not from nic OD or dehydration. I did manage to not quite pinpoint but the general area of the "sour" that some commercial juices might have. It wasn't till I began DIY I did find that some flavorings gave me headaches. Lemon, lime and a flavor called champagne when I was first beginning to experiment with combos gave me between the eyes headaches, not a bad headache but a lingering all day aggravation. Some tobaccos that have that stale ashy smell and taste would give me headaches also so opening up a new bottle and a sniff right away said if I wasted my money or not.
With commercial juice you really have no idea whats going into them but as DIY I know to steer away from those kind of flavors and haven't had a headache since.
If your really unsure about a juice and since its only 6nic, put a few good drops on the back of the hand, taste and wait a bit to see if a headache is forming. I've been using the hand to taste juice for eons and lived to tell about it.
As a side note really sweet juices also dries out your mouth badly leading to that unquenchable thirst that could be a foundation to a headache building. I drink a fraction of the water with DIY juice than I did when I vaped commercial juices since my DIY juice isn't sweet and I add no sweeteners.

I have some type of allergy to Capella's flavor so I can't use it, makes me feel sick. So maybe it is a flavoring??? There was a bakery vendor years ago that I loved the flavors but the juice made me feel sick, had to stop using it. I can use TFA, Flavor West and Natures Flavors and Flavour Art.

I get headaches from certain coils also.I got a clone aspire tank and coils and it gives me headaches.
I'm guessing inferior metal,cotton,and manufacturing oils.
If your a new or recent quitter of analogs it could be withdrawal.

Let's quit passing this around until there are real world studies with the actual product that the average person uses.

Sucralose, when injested, is well known for giving headaches in certain people.
All you have to do is google "sucralose migraines". It is well established in medical literature.

If I were getting headaches from injesting it I certainly would not vape it. That's just common sense.

No "studies" needed t know if you injest something and it makes you sick. You know as soon as you do it.

There are topics on ECF going back to 2011, 2012, about sucralose. Asking vendors to list it as an ingredient.

Nobody ever does. Guess that is why labelling is an issue...people need to know what they are putting in their bodies. stuff they are paying for ......just say it's in there, how hard is that?

While that may, indeed, be the case, that's not what I was talking about in my post. Passing half baked studies around as the gospel truth is what got vaping into the regulatory mess that it's in. We don't need to perpetuate that practice on ECF.
