OK. Here I go. Gonna try and keep this one short and to the point. First, here is my basic info: new vaper, 2.5 weeks in, vaping exclusively, KGO setup. Using cartomizers (boge, 2.0 LR) and dripping on atty to taste new juices.

I have orderd juices from several vendors, trying new flavors, etc... I don't know if I need to list or if it is Kosher to list the vendors I have purchased from so far here, so I won't unless someone thinks this is important information. This is NOT a complaint in any way about any vendors I have orderd from, just so everone knows that is not an issue. Just recieved my latest order today from a new vendor and I can immediately feel a major difference when I vape this juice.

Vendor 1: 5 different flavors. All juices 60/40 PG/VG blend. 18mg nic on 4, 24mg on 1. Can vape this stuff all day long and I mean "chain vaping". No adverse effects noticed.

Vendor 2: 5 different flavors. All 50/50 PG/VG. All 12mg nic. "Chain Vape" these one's too and usually have to switch to higher nic juices from vendor 1 when feeling like I need more nic. No adverse effects noticed.

Vendor 3: 5 different flavors. All 18mg nic. *All* 75/25 PG/VG (they think...:blink:). I actually called their customer service to ask, because the first thing I did today after trying these flavors was get on their site and see what the ratio was and that information was not listed anywhere. This is the new stuff that I am having (maybe) a little issue with.

As soon as I recieved this shipment today, I slapped on a new atty and drip tip and commenced at sampling my new goodies. I noticed a different feeling very soon. Kinda "high" (reminds me of the very first time I ever smoked as a kid), but also kind of a tight scalp, tingly fingers, and kind of a high pitched ringing-buzz in my ears. I sort of equate this feeling to a lot of nic, but don't have the slight sick to my stomach feeling I have experienced in past years when I would smoke way too much.

IDK what the deal is. Does PG possibly deliver nic more efficiently, or is this feeling directly related to the higher amount of PG and I am getting some other noticable sensations because of that? Can one vendors "brand" of PG that they use to make the juice with be different enough that it may cause this feeling?

Just FYI, all the vendors I have purchased the juices from are all well recommended, registered suppliers of this forum. So it's not some weird, sketchy site I ordered from.

Any one else notice anything like this? Any help or other comments/info would be appreciated as I have yet another (big) juice order in trasit now, probably here tomorrow from vendor #4... another new one I have not tried yet (meaning the vendor and their juices). This order coming consists of 10, 1oz bottles and I had it all mixed 80/20 PG/VG and 24mg nic. (because I was thinking I needed a higher nic level because I am chain vaping).

So much for short, but I hope it was enough info that some of you who have been doing this longer that I can give me any help. Thanks all! I really appreaciate you guys!

It's difficult to say, you have a varied assortment of 12, 18 & 24 mg nic, ratios of 50/50, 60/40 and 75/25. Did you vape only the #3 juice today?

IMHO I would suspect that the pg ratio may be to high, some have also experienced problems with the ratios and experimented with adjusting, hth!

Had been vaping #1 and #2's juices today before the mailman arrived. I did not get the weird feeling until I tried #3. I don't think it has anything to do with the 18mg nic level as I can vape 18mg from #1 all day, so am guessing it's probably the PG levels.

PG allows nicotine and flavor to come through much better. VG dulls everything. Many of us vape straight PG liquids without a problem. It also could be the particular flavorings in the liquid. I would suggest getting a sample of your eliquid that you had no issue with in the ratio of PG/VG and nic strength of the one that seemed different. You will have a better comparison point that way.
