I'm wondering because I vaped it yesterday for the first time in quantity, I've used up almost my whole bottle before, but always in small amounts mixed with other flavors. I felt amazing afterwards, assumed it was just a good day, but today I left it at home and vaped key lime pie and mint all day. I ended up feeling like crap by the end of the day, headaches, lack of focus, all the rest I thought I was over. I vaped until I made myself ill on the way home, and still felt like crap. I figured maybe I'd overvaped, but the headache got worse with time, I vaped another ml of tobacco flavor, and it was gone. I'm a little annoyed, because until now I was doing ok with any flavor, I don't want to be stuck with one I need to have regularly.

I'm feeling great now, which makes me suspect it must have had something I was missing, and now my body is being way more demanding to get it.

I see this as a good product for someone having a hard time transitioning from smoking to vaping but for me, I wouldn't try it just for the reason you stated--I don't want to be put back in the position of needing something more from my juice. I will recommend this to my husband when it's readily available, though. He had a hard time making the switch and eventually, gave up vaping altogether. This may be the right stuff to help keep him satisfied vaping and off the smokes, which is so important to me.

that's strange! I suppose it might, I find it smooth, not a harsh taste, but takes some getting used to for sure.

EDIT: Not sure how to explain it exactly, but if I inhale, or especially if I exhale exactly like a cigarette, my throat gets very unhappy, I inhale differently, as though I'm breathing through a different part of my throat. Which is silly and not possible but I don't know how else to say it. Perhaps it could be technique as well?
One thing I've found that worked for me was vaping at lower power Juicy clear creme de menthe flavor, it's soothing and cool and I don't cough at all when doing it like a cigarette.

EDIT: Just tried it, no problem vaping it like that(24mg nic), thought it was the atomizer being cool and smooth so I a little JC pineapple(low nic) :facepalm: :laugh: Tobacco definitely vapes smoother, I just got a nice coughing fit. One thing I should note, my TV flavors are all 90/10 PG VG, I am sensitive to PG a little bit, but I find high VG rougher when vaped that way.

Jimi D. & Rocketfish did either of you cough a lot when you first started vaping? If so how long did it last 1 cart, 2 weeks...?
I'm concerned that I'm not giving the higher nic levels enough time.
I started at 100% pg at 36mg, I quit smoking and picked up snus for 2 years, then started vaping. So my throat was in better shape at the time.. Try VG juices. That should be better on the throat....

It is extremely doubtful that this has minor alkaloids in it. This is basically a favoring derived from tobacco and in fact doesn't even contain nicotine, much less the minor alkaloids. There is a big difference between the essence of tobacco, which is flavor, and the alkaloids, which are the active ingredient part to tobacco. The irony is that the alkaloids are for the most part tasteless. Very likely a placebo effect as it would taste more similar to smoking then regular e-liquid.
