call me a cynic but perhaps it is a cheaper way to produce e-liquids? All for the mighty $....
not sure if the VG content is the issue for me - but it may be a more general health issue.....
.
I was using the Tobacco Flavour previous 6 months - same ratio PG/VG (but 24mg Nicotine) - with no problems. I am fairly sure my problems are with dodgy artificial sweeteners. Same as Mr Cromwell - I can't handle artificial sweeteners in foods (like diet coke/pepsi).....they give me a tickly throat. So I guess vaporizing the mega-long chained compounds in artitificial sweeteners intensifies the allergic reaction for me?
I am sitting here staring at my aspire loaded with banana strawberry or some such crapola keen on a nicotine vape but I know it will make me sick.....yet I must wait about 2 weeks for replacement stocks to arrive......bummed! I may have to go and buy some rolling tobacco.

Hi all - looking for similar experiences/thoughts suggestions.
Been using a Texas (Big) Brand E-Liquid Marlboro Flav which is a base that's 85% Vegetable Glycerin & 15% Propylene Glycol. This has been great and no ill effects. I was on 24mg mix as well!
Of course the better half complained about the smell - so I chose to diplomatically swap to a variety of "nice" sweet flavours (banana/vanilla/strawberry etc) which I couldn't care less about. I also dropped down to 6mg
Anyway these new sweet flavours are definitely making me sick & I have stopped using them - (feeling kinda edgy now cause I have no Nicotine!!!)
Definitely not the nicotine as I have dropped way down.
Symptoms are definitely apparent straight after using sweetened E_Liquid. They are mainly - Pressure/Sinus-Type Head Aches/Flu-like symptoms like running nose & feeling crappy/nausea. They go away when I stop Vaping.
I never had 1 incident like this on the Tobacco Flavour.
Gonna ask for a refund/swap - so wish me luck. I'm a loooong way from Texas!
I can only wish we had such a thing in Western Australia - where it is illegal to sell these heinous abominations!!You can get some NJOY tobacco e-liquid at Walgreens. It's not bad at all and pretty good in a pinch...
like your thinking Chad. Going to do exactly as you suggestMost undiluted tobacco eliquids and sweet flavors would make me sick as well. I can take a few vapes but after that I have to stop, but if I kept vaping I think I would get sick too.
I buy unflavored eliquid at a higher nicotine level than the flavored eliquid and I mix them at about 50/50. This mellows the taste, increases the nicotine level, and saves money because the unflavored eliquid is cheaper.
And if you dropped down in nicotine that could be causing you to vape more and then making you sicker.
And I have had people complain about the smell of high end tobacco flavored eliquid, but I have got very few complaints on most low end/regular tobacco flavors. I would assume there are tobacco eliquids out there people would not notice or be bothered by.

I could not handle the artificial something in Njoy juice from walgreens, tried their blood orange I think it was.You can get some NJOY tobacco e-liquid at Walgreens. It's not bad at all and pretty good in a pinch...

But I don't think I actually vaped any more or less with lower sweetened liquid. In fact I started feeling crook almost straight away and have used it very reluctantly since ( now not at all)....sending 5 x 30ml barely used bottles back to Texas for swaps with unflavoured high nicotine....great suggestion mate!
