NOW VG Concern

[132sdrifter]

I don't know where to post this. Hopefully this is the place. My tongue did not like the PG so I switched to all VG. I had bought VG 30ml from a well known vendor to use as a base and mixed flavors and was doing pretty well. I also ordered premixed VG flavors from the same folks and all has been good. So, I want to cut down the nic level and also want to experiment a bit with flavors. I did some research and ordered a bottle of NOW VG. The NOW VG is supposed to be good stuff, it's considered food grade. Well it arrived yesterday. Since I am just about out of my liquid I made up a 5ml bottle of VG, 15 drops each of tobacco and RY4 and maybe ten drops of distilled water. The liquid seemed to have the correct consistency I used it as a drip to test it. Eh, it was ok. I have a few cartos sitting around some are 3.0 and up. Hey, I decided I am going to make my own passthrough. I have some old batt tops laying around.... I used a powered USB hub that was giving me 5.1v. Soldered it up and WOW.... I used a G4 carto and some others that were 3 and up. The vape was awesome.

Now to my concerns. I developed some nasty flu like symptoms. Headache of and on, backache, but the worst was the feeling in my head. I was woozy big time. So, I dunno, was it the VG mix, was it the %v which produced more vape than I thought possible. Was it actually a bug I had( haven't really felt to well the past three days. Or just a combo of the three.

Lay it on me folks. Waddya think?

i'd say it was a bug or your nic was higher than stated

I think since you lowered your nic level and was experimenting with passthrough and staff you just simply vaped your head off. I also had same symptoms when i mixed my own juice. Also i noticed that lorrens pepermint flavoring gives me tooth ache and headache.

My son had allergy problems when young. We were told to eliminate this, this, and that from his diet. Eventually we started introducing things back one at a time.
That's why, when I had problems with 100% PG liquids and some flavors, I did this. Because of experimentation, I have found what works for me. Eliminate all the new stuff your doing and try one at a time to see what the offender is.

Mild nicotine poisoning? What Nic level are you using?

The new mix was 0 nic. I am just about out of nic stuff. All have left, premixed VG is Clove Black 14mg. It tastes like black licorice to me. Yeah, it sort of like computer problems, ya need to go back to basics to find out the culprit, one at a time. I believe I may have just plain ODed on the stuff. 5Volts packs a pretty mean punch.
