PG headache, expensive problem solved

[Aerodan]

I’m rather new to vaping, but it’s a tendency that I jump in and learn all I can through trying various products. I’m not a dabbler

In the case of vaping this has turned out to be an expensive mistake. Several bottles of Koi 1000 and 500 mg CBD (amongst many non-cbd mixes) later and I’ve been getting pounding headaches within 5 minutes after vaping - so to see what going on, I bought straight VG and PG (USP) from a reputable source.

Step 1: hydrate properly the evening before and day of leading to the test. Normal diet, normal day.

First mix: 50/50 VG/PG 4m:30s headache.
Wait three hours, proper hydration...
Second mix: 70/30 VG/PG 6m headache.
...
Third mix: 100 VG no headache.
...
Fourth mix: 100 PG migraine and mild nausea.
Wait three hours, proper hydration...
Fifth mix: 100% VG no headache.
Wait three hours, proper hydration...
Sixth mix: 100% PG migraine no nausea

I repeated the test on a different day in the morning rather than evening, identical results. Flavor appears to make no difference.

Everyone has a different reactions, but PG is conclusively a bust for me.

Luckily, pure VG blends using Kind juices and a few others has turned out to be all win. No issues! Happy days.

My lesson from this, again, is that a patient and considered approach to new endeavors saves times and money in the long run. Darn it.

PG sensitivity is rare, but not uncommon. Glad you got it sorted. Maybe you should look into what else you use that contains PG. It's a common chemical in all manner of products.
