There really could be a multitude of factors beyond nic involved. Theres been some discussion of pg/vg sources as well, for example. There could be metabolic reactions like allergies from one source but not from another. Whats really a shame is too few researchers are interested in looking at this type of addiction beyond "the evil nicotine" yet it seems clear to me that nic may play a minor role in our symptoms.

Becoming dehydrated plays all sorts of havoc. It can lower blood pressure to the point of light headness too. I vape max vg and still can get dehydrated to the pont of er pumping me with 5 pints of fluid before they could get bp up again. (not reccomended)

    Last time I got lightheaded I grabbed my BP cuff and was surprised to find it normal. Was sure it was that, or, would result in a lower BP.
    I imagine it's pretty easy to get dehydrated living in Arizona, in itself.

    Cool Breeze do you have one of those finger tip oxygen level testers? 2+ PAD smoker at 66 could be lack of O2 to the brain causing the dizziness.

    r77 etc once you have lived in AZ for a while you get acclimated to the dryness in summer skin wise. Winter dryness is different on the skin. But yeah, lots of gatorade and water.

    Wow - great info on this thread, as seems frequent!

    I'm one of those who suspects vaping "certain things" may be "causing certain issues". I normally eat very well (though: not lately) and try my best to pay close attention to everything I take in, especially since getting off cigs!

    Cool_Breeze, I really appreciate your feedback. I'm still at a place of "not knowing" myself - but it's been STILL for lack of testing/tracking EVERYTHING I consume. My drinking of water is highly variable, as is my use of various nics. For my part, mostly-VG, unflavored seems to have been the least problematic - aside from throat phlehm and slightly heavier breathing under duress.

    It doesn't seem to be nic - FOR ME - aside from the PG amount and possibly the flavors. Flavors are a funny thing and there's a lot of chemicals we "don't yet know" there - we should all be cautious there if "safest vapes" are what we are pushing towards.

    Here's hoping we soon have a flavor/pg/vg/nic database suitable for useful analysis of possible issues very soon!

    I am a software developer, specializing in open-source solutions, and welcome all/would be happy to coordinate, something we can use to together to find such answers! :)

    Ok.....Vapors Tek Nicotine compared to MyFreedomSmokes Sale Nicotine.
    100mg 1 liter PG Solution
    Is there $75 difference in the quality of these two? That's the current difference in price.
    Thanks.

    I dumped all my ADVs made with MFS nicotine ... for me, VT is worth the extra money.

    I have a liter of Heartland, a liter of RTS, and two liters of MFS in my freezer. If I run out of my current stash of "clean" and "dirty" VT (which will admittedly take a very long time), I'll be hard-pressed not to buy more VT. And I like the others, so that's saying something!

    Try them both and see for yourself. In fact, try as many as you can before stocking up. It depends on many subjective qualities that determine what will work best for you. Everybody is different. :)

    This is key! Samples don't cost much at all. But, in case you are wondering, now I only use VT nic (for my mixing and my unflavored vaping) and my other liters are just sitting. So in the end, I kinda wish some of that money had gone to VT -- whether to them or to Bullcityvapor (a re-seller of VT nic and one where you can find smaller trial-size samples).
