Paranoid and Anxious... Weird Reaction...

[Disk4mat]

My uncle who has a terrible chemical reaction to caffeine (causes paranoia and anxiety) had a bad reaction when trying my pv. So I was wondering if its common for eliquids to contain caffeine in them?

I had him try 2 diff manufactuers and the same result with both. Has anyone experienced this or heard of it happening to someone?

Some other info... The luiquids were all 18mg nicotine. He smokes c.amel 99's at 1 pack per day.... He didnt smoke analog while vaping. So I dont think he had too much nicotine. If anything, he had less because he would replace smoking an analog with taking 3 drags on my pv. Wait an hour then smoked an analog. An hour later, another 3 drags off my pv.

I personaly think its due to a mental disposition. He insists there has to be caffeine in eluiquids since he has a reaction to caffeine.

I think caffeine in vape depends in the flavoring agents. Stay out of the colas, coffees, teas, etc.
My other suggestion would be to watch him as he inhales both and note differences. One of the problems I had when I started vaping was that I was trying to toot the ecig the same as the analog. They actually are different.
He may be getting more or less nicotine per hit. He also may be taking his toots too fast and giving himself a headrush.
Good luck! Lots of great advice here, so if any more questions, feel free to ask!

Thanks for the insight! I'll take notice and see if the method of vaping could be a cause. It might be a fluctuations of nicotine. I can see that as possible.

I'd agree with this. He may have built up a sort of habitual resistance to the nic in Camels but still be way too sensitive to nic. Or he might be smoking his analogs in a way that gives him less less nic. With an ecig, he might lose his psychological resistance to the affects of the nicotine or he might be inhaling more so it hits him harder.

Yeah, more and more it seems to make sense. I cant imagine any other logical explanation. eCigs dont have the number of additives that cigarettes do.
