New Juice question....why am I getting a headache?!?!

[NiNi]

Last week I ordered samples from 9 places, they started arriving yesterday and today I started checking them out. They're all in my nic range 18-24 mgs, but the PG/VG is "as is". My usual PG/VG is 70/30. Some of these are 50/50 or all VG. Have only tried 2 in a blank carts, one 50/50, the other all VG.
So I've been wondering why I've felt headachy, hot flashes, like nic'd out, all day. I haven't vaped any more than usual, probably less.
Been a solid vaper since Jan 10 of this year, most of my juice steeps for at least a week, most of it way longer than that.
Any ideas? Or did I kind of answer my question with the varying PG/VG ratio and not steeping?

Maybe the touch of a flu-bug? Or something other than vape-related stuff? My first idea was too much nic, but that seems constant. The only other thing could be that your cartos are really efficient at delivering nicotine compared to what you were using.

where did you get it? alot of it depends on that. It could be an inconsistent batch or maybe you just arent used to the higher PG. Sometimes when you get 18MG from someone it could be as low as 12 or as high as 26......just depends on who made it and whether their ratio of ingredients were spot on.

just me though

I think is is the VG in the juice that can cause dehydration if you don't drink enough water. Headaches are a common symptom of dehydration. I would try drinking more water before jumping to any further conclusions.

Could be that change of life thing setting in;-)

18mg nic was giving me headaches. Dropped to 12 and I do lots better unless I just overdo it.

I've been having a lot of unusual, long lasting headaches lately too; and I have been drinking water like a fish.

I also quit drinking caffeinated drinks about a week ago too. My body doesn't know whether to s**t or go blind. I'm a mess.

Might be burnt carto. I know when I get headachs change my carto or rewick my head(protank, dry burn also). With a carto you cant really tell if you burnt it.

Ok, I gotcha! Thanks for ALL the suggestions! The samples were from all different venders, so 2 bad batches from 2 different venders? Ehhh, maybe not, but the high VG, sounds probable, carts on a E twist doing better than my Pro Tank/Evic, another thumbs up, causing the nic to be more effective, yes.....change of life? That's the ONLY thing I have under control. LMAO!
Going to chill, maybe take an aspirin. Been drinking my usual water intake, same cup of coffee in the morning. Mystery possibly solved, will see in the morning!
Thanks, everyone!

And NOT getting sick, LOL!

For me it was too much nic.

I sincerely hope you are right. I've had a kind of wonky stomach this past week or so, with no change in juice or devices. Whatever, it doesn't seem respiratory.

This might sound a bit silly but I find SOME flavorings used in eliquid set off headaches(sinus type) for me. So far every tobacco I tried does this and a few assorted other ones.

It could just be a flavoring that is not agreeing with you

I get headaches from too much nic, and it really doesn't take much. Maybe one of the juices is mis-marked.

I know for me, certain juices make me feel like I have the flu. Unfortunately, strong RY4s are the main culprit, but also coffees and creams.

Caffeine withdrawal will cause headaches.

Did you air them out for 24 hours with caps and drippers off? Some vendors use alcohol to mix, which needs to be evaporated before vaping. Helps improve the flavors, too.

Honestly its hard to say I dont headaches unless Im coming down with the flu. My wife suffers from terrible migraines. Chocklate almost always sets off a headache for her.

I doubt If its The PG or VG even the nic unless its a higher dose than you normally use. The one different variable is the flavor so possibly that flavor might not like you. You could always try those same flavors from another vendor and see if they have the same affect.

 

[Thepinfamily]

Ive had the same problem a couple times. Both times I was sampling juice without letting it steep. I believe if you let them air out for a day or two it will help. Just like the earlier post said, alcohol in flavorings.

 

[XeniaMike]

For me, I don't know whether the PG/VG has anything to do with it. I've found if something tastes perfumy or too artificial I get a headache from it. There are ingredients in at least two juices I've had that I'm allergic to also, but I think it's more in the flavoring range. Maybe in your zeal to test out your new juices you overdid it a little and are having a slight nic overdose. Been there, done that, will probably do again..
