That very possibly could have been the problem as that juice is VERY heavy with menthol and "some" vapers have had issues with it
juice Contains:
PG- almost waterlike consistency- gives TH, Lung Hit and enhances flavor
VG- very thick and gives vapor
Nicotine- gives TH, Lung Hit and our need for nicotine
Flavor- that's kinda obvious
They menthol burst was prolly made with menthol from menthol crystals and even after mixing they have a tendency to "separate"- I use them myself.
Because all the different ingredients are a diff viscosity they all tend to either settle or rise to the top. I had one friend who's juices, at the end of the bottle, were always HORRIBLE. Turns out he wasn't shaking them before using. He now shakes them and they're good to the last drop. Also remember to drink lottsa water. The vapor comes from our bodies and not the juice. PG and more so VG "trap" the moisture in our mouth, throat and lungs and thus the vapor. Dehydration is an issue with vaping and I drink 2 large glasses of water in the a.m. and 2 liters per day.
Good Luck, Vapoor.

I never shook the bottle ever and it was a big x2 size....

not sure what you mean by this, almost sounds like you're implying that the vapor in vaping comes from water instantly sucked out of our bodies???

hey i have been having some pretty bad side effects from vaping so i thought..... turns out its the juice i was using. 30/70vg DOES NOT work well with me at all. the juice is from CCV and for some reason it makes me absoloutley sick. its either the 70vg or its the flavoring they use but needless to say i threw them out. the only juice that doesnt bother me is RY4 from ecigexpress 100%pg and i cut it down myself to 80/20vg. go figure.

May I ask you what juice was ?
Thanks

I think I've had the same thing happen to me. When I switched from analogs to the Ecig I at first was only puffing it occasionally as I got used to it. I gradually began to puff it more often and then all the time. Soon thereafter I began to develop a nasty fullness/pain/bulging feeling in my right chest. It wasn't a throbbing "oh my god this hurts" pain but more of a "Wow this scares me what the hell is in there" pain. The best way I could describe it was that it was as if a Balloon was blown up in my right chest and pushing on everything to get out. From what I've gathered, it sounds like it is called Pleurisy which is simply an irritation of the lining of the lungs. I still get it from time to time and hope/pray that that really is what it is, and not something truly bad.

that's sort of the feeling I had... Yeah there's nothing worse than not knowing if you are progressively inducing some sort of harm to yourself :\
