I had the same problems...was never much of a water drinker. I found flavored waters, tonic waters etc help quite a bit. Sometimes just keeping lemons/limes around and adding a slice to tap water. A SodaStream can help as well.
New to vaping. Need help please.

Welcome from me as well.
There’s a feeling of kinship.
I’m suffering from ptsd.
I hope your from London too?
Sounds to me as if the stress, nicotine and caffeine is too much to handle.
Try perhaps to either decrease the nicotine or just vape a little less. Couple that with decaf.
Oh yeah, I agree. Don’t forget your water
Best of luck to you.
Let us know how you progress.

I've never been formally diagnosed with PTSD but I meet the definition, although I'm certain I'm much farther away in a time line than you are from the cause of it, from the sounds of it. For me I'm sure what was most helpful is the fact I cannot remember some of the worst of it... I have entire months I cannot recall any aspect of.
I also started vaping within a year of my daughter dying.
So first let me say I'm sorry for your loss and all you went through.
Second, you CAN do this...
Third, what @stols001 said I agree with for the most part.
Up your nicotine, your not getting enough from vaping the 6mg, try some of the WTA e liquid, and try as much as possible to avoid as many cigarettes as possible. .. chain vape.
Good luck to you... withdrawals suck. Just remember it's poisen leaving the body.
I honestly havnt found any doctor that is familiar with the effects of vaping or even any real opinions of it.
It really is not effects from vaping(except dehydration) it is the withdrawal from smoking. Right now your body is screaming because it want its fix. That is why its ok to up the nic level or to chain vape. With vaping it takes longer for the nic to get into your system than it does with cigarettes. Give it time. Once your body is at a level it is happy with(on nic) any withdrawal symptom should tone down considerably. Be sure to 'listen' to what your body is telling you. If you still feel 'something' is missing -- that is where the WTA comes in. Not everyone needs WTA to quit cigarettes but some people do need it. Smoking is such a tough addiction to beat because of all of the aspects of our lives that it dominates. Physical addiction is only a piece of the overall puzzle. Other pieces include emotional, psychological, social behavior and the individual behaviors and rituals we go through when smoking. Each time you hit one of your triggers(to smoke) pick up the vape instead and puff your way through it. Or have that one tank of juice that has a higher nic level than you normally vape on throughout the day.
We have all been where you are. Please let us help, if we can.
It helps some to exhale thru you nose. You absorb the nic thru your mucus membranes with vaping.
Best definition of a doctor I ever heard was someone who provides medicine he does not understand for conditions he knows nothing about.
The epidemic sweeping the US would seem to back this up.
I found a good B&M store really helpful.
Have a few different devices, different juices, different PG/VG ratios.
Took me well over a year to quit smoking all together. A serious case of bronchitis made the final push a little easier.
Wouldn't recommend that one.
We each find our own way forward.
You will too. Don't beat yourself up if it doesn't happen overnight.
Friends of ours lost their boy this year.
Out of the blue. Life can be so cruel.
lynyrd skynyrd said it best with the line
" The more I fight the sadness just seems the more that I grieve "
Best wishes.
