In trying to understand my own reactions to juice experiences, I'm finding it understandably tough to narrow down all the factors (like--does it make a difference that I've been drinking coffee, or eaten, or not eaten, or smoked within x hours?).

That said, here's one I think I've discovered about myself, and I'm wondering if there's a known basis for it. I had been alternating between a tobacco flavored 26mg PG (Dekang's "Winston," as sold by Cignot) and some 18mg VG (with some PG) EcoPure English Toffee. I seemed to notice that sometimes when I was hitting the 26mg PG, it made me feel a touch overdosed (wired, irritable, nauseous--all made worse if I'd happened to have smoked within an hour before or after). So of course I ordered some more 26mg <g>. Actually I ordered it along with some 0mg VG/H2O to bring it down a notch. But when it came I realized I'd ordered the VG Dekang instead of the PG. As a test, I've been vaping it at its 26mg strength, and I don't seem to be getting that unpleasant reaction with it. (Rather nice. If anything, it's making me curious about how it might be at 36mg.)

So putting it all together-- the unpleasantness I had with 26mg PG seemed like a nicotine-ish kind of thing, but it didn't seem to extend to 26mg VG. (The 18mg English Toffee I can vape all day.) Could I be confusing and effect of PG with that of nicotine? Or is there something about PG versus VG that affects how nicotine is delivered to my system?
