Sorry to .... in to your thread but I have just in the last few months started getting dizzy off and on but quite a bit lately. I have been vaping for over a year and a half so I am really having a hard time figuring out what is causing it. Does anyone know if a side effect of sensitivity to pg can be dizziness. I vape 24mg but I was a two pack a day smoker when I smoked so its seems weird that this would start now. Any thoughts?

Personally, after a year and and half of vaping, I wouldn't point the finger at vaping right away. I would make an appointment with my doctor and go over the issue with them. It could be anything from inner ear issues, to a circulatory problem. However, Just curiosity asking (feel free to tell me to stuff it) have you had no desire to cut down on the nicotine some? I ask, because I started at one level, then went up a smidge for a bit, then settled into an amount that was lower when I first started. It's just seemed very natural to reduce the nic levels.

STUFF IT! No just kidding, I actually started at 36 and soon after I dropped down to 24, there are a couple liquids I vape at 30mg but I have not been using them lately. I really really do not want to go lower because I am a throat hit fiend, sometimes I don't even feel satisfied with 24 but stick with it anyways. If they come up with a magical juice that I happen to love the flavor of that has massive TH at low nic then i may consider going lower but until then I will stick with 24. When I was smoking I never even tried to, or even wanted to quit so if II didnt start vaping I would probably still be smoking and the way I look at I am much better off vaping even if at 24mg. In regards to going to the doctor, if the issue persists I will have to make an appointment but I have no insurance so would be somewhat limited on what testing I could pay for. I actually contacted another member that was having these issues to see what helped them and I am now trying somethings, I really think it is dehydration, I drank a ton of water yesterday and did not have a single dizzy spell. You are totally right about not pointing the finger at vaping right away, I have done a few other things already, I did a ear cleaning regimen which didnt really seem to help. My sinuses seem to be pretty congested as well so that could be part of the problem. Thanks for the suggestions.

atavanhalen, I know how much it sucks without health insurance. I'm actually in nursing school so it's embarrassing. I'm relatively young(30) and pretty healthy. I don't have a lot of health problems, so it's not a big deal for me to spend the 100 dollars to go to the doctor like once a year to get some prescriptions or whatever I need.

If you are like me and are dirt poor, but apparently not poor enough to qualify for a free clinic, then there is another option. If you live in or near a city, you might be able to find a Federally Qualified Health Center. It's a regular doctor's office, but they base their fees on how much money you earn.

There is one near me, but there is a 1 month wait to become a patient. I'm too lazy to go through the application process. I have done clinical work there for my school and it is really nice, just like a regular doctor's.
