So I JUST got a new liquid in the mail. I will refrain from posting the company but it is a big name in the vaping industry. It is 12mg and after 5-10 puffs, I broke out into a cold sweat, my heart started racing, and got lightheaded. To the point I almost fell over! What the heck?! In my 4 years I've never had this happen. Is there possibly more nicotine in the juice than what I think/what is posted? Needless to say, it scared the CRAP out of me. Almost afraid to even take another toot. Any words??
New Eliquid almost made me pass out. Wth?!

Did you shake the juice? I've had something similar happen with DIY juices. So now days I always shake juice I make ALOT (a minute or more).
I would contact the vendor and report what happened.
10 puffs of 12mg might make me lightheaded, I've never tried. I usually take 2-3 long drags and then put the e-cig away.

Sounds like the nicotine is much higher than 12mg, those are all symptoms of getting nic sick. Definitely don't vape from that bottle anymore, contact the vendor and tell them what happened. I suspect that bottle is actually 36mg+
Sounds like nicotine. I got a 30ml jug of 24mg of Rootbeer and it was so good and vaped it all in a little over a day. Played ice hockey and collapsed on the ice. Now doctor has me going through every test known to mankind. He is worried I had a stroke or a heart attack. I know I dehydrated myself. LOL
Do you suffer from anxiety? That sounds exactly like the symptoms of an anxiety attack (I get them frequently, they suck major stugotz).
How much did you smoke in a day? A few? Half a pack? A pack? A pack and a half? Two packs? What nic level do you normally use? 12?
Did you eat anything prior, maybe an empty stomach? Did you drink any caffeine? So many factors. I know exactly what those symptoms feel like and I wouldn't wish them on anyone.

Thanks for all of the replies! Ill try to answer all at once. I used to smoke a pack and a half per day. I've had anxiety longer than I've been vaping and take meds for it, but have never had any trouble mixing my meds with vaping. And I unfortunately do know panic attacks..all too well. Use to have 2-3 per day EVERY day until try got me squared away. I usually vape 18mg, but have recently toned it down to 6mg and 12mg. I really need to invest in a nic test kit. Just never thought if need one, but would come in handy right about now lol. I'm gonna shake the crap out of this bottle and maybe give it another go. If it happens again, ill call the vendor. Just scared the crap out of me when it happened. Thanks for all of the replies!
I agree sounds like it's a lot higher than 12mg because I have never had that happen to me before except when I first started vaping and went back to a cigarette whoa that stinky about made me about made me pass out!
I would guess a bottle that is improperly labeled or improperly mixed. You could try diluting it with some base.
This reminds me of the box elder recall there is no telling what is wrong with that e-juice.
If it's an much higher nic than the 12mg you're used to,
1) I don't think the nic absorption would be that fast that you would feel the effects after only 5 to 10 vapes. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
2) you would definitely feel a huge difference in throat hit if the nic is much higher than 12mg.
I would look at other causes instead of zooming in on the nic levels. But I'll still keep an open mind as each person's tolerance towards nic might be different.

I was thinking the same thing regarding throat hit and overall quality of the vape. I figured if it was higher than 12mg, my throat would be getting raped lol. The flavor is good, really good actually and throat hit seems to be where it should, or at least I think so. My set up kinda varies. I mainly use my Russian 91% throughout the day, but drip in the morning with coffee, and also at night. I woke up this morning and loaded the same juice up in my russian after shaking the hell out of the bottle and cautiously took a few hits. I'm vaping it at 1.4 ohms, around 12-14 watts (the exact same setting I had it with the juice I was using before at 12mg) and it doesn't seem to be as potent, so I'm hoping it was just a fluke. I lived through the night, so it obviously wasn't anything that could kill me in small doses

You said correct you if you are wrong, so I will
A person with can actually have a nicotine overdose (not lethal, but where side effects are present, such as the side effects the OP mentioned) from as little as ONE to TWO puffs. From either a cig, OR an e-cig.
I've been using 18mg/mL since I started vaping, back in May 2013. I just started dripping using an RDA about a month ago. I'm using a dual coil RDA at about .5ohms. If I were to use 18mg/mL, like I was using in carto tanks, or clearos, and took a drag for 5-10 seconds, I would get unpleasant symptoms from too much nicotine. I don't even want to IMAGINE what would happen (side effect wise) if I did that for 5-10 puffs.
As for the OP, since we weren't there, the ONLY thing we have to go on is your original post. Therefore, I'm going to assume NOTHING was changed regarding your diet, meds, daily routine, or vape routine, except for using a new e-liquid supplier. If nothing in 3 years has recently changed, then I would assume the supplier used a diff. nicotine amount then 12mg/ml on accident.
Maybe it's not the nic level of the juice, maybe it's your varying setups causing spikes in nicotine in your blood?
The more wattage, the more nicotine you are consuming.
I vape slowly and usually take one or two long drags and put the vape down. If you are addicted to puffing like a chimney, you probably need a lower nicotine level.

Well, without him giving us more information, we can only assume that NOTHING ELSE about his lifestyle habits, or vaping habits has changed, EXCEPT for him trying a new e-liquid.
If anything changed, he should have mentioned it in the original post.....because obviously that would completely change everything
