I get hot flashes when I vape! Anyone else have this problem?

[UsingVamoV2]

Hi Everyone!
I have vaped now for almost 3 years, and I have gone through the change of life, and still suffer from hot flashes, but most of the time when I vape, it seems to bring on hot flashes! I SWEAT TO DEATH!!! I think it might be the VG because I increased it - I do DIY. WHY would it make me sweat? Allergy?<br>I only use TFA flavors and Flavour Art RY4 with regular PG and VG. I've read trying a different vendor's PG or VG may be helpful, but when you've bought a GALLON of it, well, I hate to waste it! <br>I've recently increased the VG and I find it is gentler on atty's! I use the ProTank 2's and LOVE them! The coils don't get as gunked up as they do with more PG. I used to vape at 70PG/30VG but I made a batch of RY4 Flavour Art and I just used WAY too much of it - 6% flavoring, and when it steeped up, it was NASTY!!! I had to cut it. For the heck of it, I thought I would just try adding 2ml of Dulche de Leche and I used VG instead of the PG thinking it might mask the taste of the RY4 better and it did! But, the hot flashes!!!<br>Again, I LOVE how NICE the VG is on my coils!!! I can go MUCH longer without having to change out my coils now. I was only getting a good ONE day out of each coil with the PG so high. Now I get 3-4! Makes a HUGE difference!!! I think it's because it's even slippery than the PG, and the PG really tends to gunk up the coils regardless of dry burning the .... off.<br>So, I'm looking for suggestions as to WHY I am getting hot flashes while vaping! Thanks!

That's a nasty one... I had hot flashes for quite awhile after going through the change. Odd things can set them off and it varies for everyone. I had hot flashes that would literally steam up my glasses whenever I cleaned the cat litter box. I'd be really bummed if vaping did it to me.

But if using more PG kept the flashes away, even if I had to plan on dry burning my coils every day, I'd (pardon the expression) suck it up and use more PG for now. You could try adding a little VG once in awhile to see if things have settled down. That eventually happened to me and now I'm back on litter box duty (the husband did it while I was dealing with the flashes). Good luck!

Nicotine level too high? I'm down to 5mg but can feel my heart beating faster and head tighten after I chain vape for a while. That's when I know I need to take a long break. I've heard of allergies to PG but not VG before.

I'm almost 41 and have the same problem; I've been vaping off and on for five years, and been vaping seriously for a year now. I tried changing my VG/PG ratio, but what worked for me was changing my nic level. I had a lot of problems with flashes when I was vaping 24mg, but I dropped it down to 18. I figured that it was because the nicotine was slightly increasing my blood pressure, so I dropped my nic amount, and it seems to help.

I can totally sympathize with you, since it seems that the slightest physical, emotional, environmental, or astrological chart change (lol) triggers a hot flash.

I wouldn't call what I experience 'hot flashes' just more of an intense nic buzz. I enjoy it though. In cold weather if I hit a high nic, I'll start to sweat and get a bit nauseous.

I try not to chain vape when I drive. I don't want to be a hazard to myself or others on the road.
