Throwing my two cents in here. Carlfromhr it truthfully sounds to me like you are going through what I call "NicSick" your experiencing exactly what I experience when I have a stressfull day, decide to drip 24mg, and over-do it. I am someone who is able to drip 12-16mg on a regular basis. When I over-do it on the 24mg, or I hit the bejeebus out of my ATTY I get light headed, sick to my stomach, thickness to my thinking and reasoning skills followed by stomach pain, fruitless time spent in the restroom, and than fruitful time spent in the same place later. I would honestly say I believe that you have gotten sick from the nicotine. Its entirely possible your 3mg is not actually 3mg, plausible that this back may contain a variation on nicotine. Its also possible that you did not get all of the machine oil out, that inferior oils were used etc. There are too many factors to simply go straight to the manufacturer and lay claims that a device or product got you sick. Send your bottle back, ask that it be checked. Have the atty checked by someone who can analyse it, switch to a completly different brand, and device and see if thats truthfully the cause. External factors can easily come in to play as well here such as drinking, different foods, water intake, etc etc etc.
