Hi there,

Before I rant I'll just start by saying I already have an anxiety "disorder" I suffer from generalized anxiety disorder, had it for years, totally manageable.

I vape primarily, since day 1 either a 8mg or 9mg juice. They are either a 70/30 PG/VG mix or 100% VG. For the last three months I have vaped 8mg 100% VG juice and nothing else.

Recently I ordered some juice from Pink Spot Vapors from a Canadian vendor that was carrying them and all they offered was 12mg. I didn't bat an eye to it or worry one bit, it's only a 4mg difference, shouldn't be much of an adjustment. Wrong. I can't say for certain but am strongly inclined to believe that the juice is causing me a boost in anxiety.

When I vape the new juices I get that same feeling as when I first started vaping, slightly light headed, that overall nictoine buzz sensation. This however decreased the more I vaped it but was still slightly there. The only thing that remained was this constant anxiety, like I drank a cup of strong coffee REALLY fast. That will also deminish but I'm left with a crappy anxiety feeling that lingers and lingers.

Is this possible from a 4mg difference in juice? It seems odd to me. I've never tried Pink Spot before and I've never exclusively vaped anything above 8mg. I've tried 24mg for a couple hours (I was drunk...) but it was still insanely strong. I really hope this can be something I just adjust to as the juices are incredible and so is the throat hit. I'd actually like MORE juices at 12mg just for that throat hit.

Frustrated. I am a bit of a chain vaper and this is putting a halt to that unfortunately.

Thanks for any insight!

*edit* For what it's worth, when I was smoking cigarettes I bought Export 'A' Gold.

My reaction is much the same as yours. I had to quickly reduce when I started to 8mg, and anything above that causes issues for me.

Going from 8mg to 12mg may only be a 4mg difference, but it's a 50% increase in dosage from what you're used to.

If the vendor doesn't have 8mg, see if they have 0mg, then mix the two to get a lower strength.
