Hi i recently bought a tank system (Tsunami 1000x, apparently a cheap Ego 2 knockoff or something of the similar) because i knew it would be much cheaper. What has alarmed me is that all the easy to find store-bought E fluids seem to make me dizzy, light-headed, and effect hand-eye coordination. This effect doesn't seem to happen with Vegetable Glycerin fluids like Johnson Creek or Velvet Cloud Vapor. I did find out at first that my (early model) tank was faulty, but all this did was make it possible to actually use my 1000x tank system reliably without leaks or burns to my throat. The fluid that is sold side by side with it (Tsunami) still makes me feel like i just walked out of room filled with chlorine gas, if that makes sense. If anyone has ever over-filled a old E cig cartridge they may know what I am talking about.

I am wondering if this is more likely a Tank system issue, or a fluid issue. On that note i like to buy from shops when possible and have found that V2 fluids are sold locally, I am wondering if anyone would recommend this brand given my previous issues with PG fluids.

NOTE:I am not very willing to buy a different tank system yet, mostly wondering about fluids. Will still take advice on new systems, but right now i would rather find fluids that work then spend $60-80 on a Ego or a Vea or whatever. Although if people have used either Tsunami or Formula 51 without issues in a different system i would love to know, as maybe my tank really only works with VG, even though the brand its sold with only sells PG etc

What flavor of e-liquid are you using? Those appear to be CE4/5/Stardust tanks. They have been known to react to certain flavors such as cinnamon or citrus. It's possible the juice is reacting with the material on the tank.

Also, how long have you been using that tank? If you can take it apart, check for caked on residue on the coil(the spring thing under the rubber cap with the metal nipple).

Dude, you got to spend a little on the internet and try some different flavors. AND you need a new tank if it only works with VG. VG is fine, but a lot of times it is too thick. Maybe a 70/30 mix?

Vea = too expensive. You can buy a lot cheaper set-up and use an Ego type 510 threaded battery. If you hang around in the New Members Forum, someone will provide you with a direct link.
Baditude has a blog about what a new vapor needs/minimum. Here is a link to his blogs. VERY INFORMATIVE! E-Cigarette Forum - Baditude - Blogs
