Maybe try get a lil bit of different juice and see if that helps, maybe some with 0 nic to see if its a nicotine problem or something else, and try get some 100% vg based juice just to test that too.

I have a couple of friends that has lock jaw, or tense jaw, tmj or whatever its called. That goes from the jaw, up to the temple and back around the ears and they say that feels like a massive headache. They found some workarounds when vaping, like using a flat driptip, airy atty so they dont have to draw hard etc. However if its like a instant headache i would not think this is the cause, but maybe something to consider.

My first pick would be too high nicotine, specialy if you are vaping sub-ohm. You get a much higher hit from a 0.5 ohm device than a 1.5ohm for example.

In my opinion many people are majorly over nicking themselves when vaping. A regular cig contains around 1.5mg of nic, depending on strength and brand. Then they go to buy a juice that contains maybe 18mg of nicotine pr ml, so vaping 1ml will be approx the same as smoking 8-10 regular cigs. especialy on a low ohm device, 1 ml of juice is gone in no time.

I like to buy 0 nic juice and add nicotine myself, that way i can get the strength i want, and if im going to chainvape, i can for example make 5ml of juice give me the same amount of nic as 1 cig would.

Another thing is the juice flavour gets ruined the more nic thats in it, since nicotin has a harse taste in itself, then again, some people feels they need to taste the nic for it to be worth vaping.

Again this is just my nicotine reasoning, im sure many disagrees with the over nicking part, however it works for me and others have to find out what works for them.

I use a cheap kangertech evod top tank. I couldnt handle anything bigger. The alien killed me lol. Im going to get 0mg and add it to the 3mg. My head still hurts from last night. I also dont feel right. I have a feeling most of of the nic was out of my system and i kinda overdid it last night. I mixed 3 with 6. Im 12 days out. Smoked 8-10 cigs a day but mostly chained at night and withdrew during the day lol. I kno sounds crazy. Thank u so much for replying.

3mg and 6mg isnt too bad and seems like a good place to be at if ur just 12 days away from cigs but if u chainvaped it might still be enough, so having some 0 nic for chainvaping is always good.
Remember to drink lots of water tho if u chainvape, since vaping will dry you out, wich again can cause headaches :)

In fact, in your case, being off of cigs for 12 days and using the nic u do, it makes me wonder if its a dehydration problem instead of overnicking, or a combo? try to notice if u feel "dry", is ur lips dry etc, better to drink too much than not enough. Theres also other toxins from regular cigs thats probably starting to come outa ur system at this point, so water is always good to help ur body flushing it out.
If your not a big water drinker, try drinking something with electrolytes in it, like powerade or something. Remember drinking something with coffein in it, only adds to the dehydration problem, if thats what it is.

Good news is, 12 days in is over the biggest bump i would say, and ur body will start adjusting, ur tastebuds gets better, ur cardio and all the good stuff, sounds like u just need to figure out whats causing you headaches and then your good to go.

I been thru a lot of simular stuff myself, pg allergies and all kinds of weird things, which made me turn back onto cigs for a while, however, the benefits of vaping was/is so big for me, both healthwise and moneywise, i was detirmemd to find solutions to the problems to go on with vaping.

Hang in there and keep vaping, Tell us if you notice any diffrence from lower nic, or more fluid intake or whatever, then maybe its easier to help point you in the right direction :)

PG does make me thursty but I don't experience the headaches part, in fact VG is the one that makes me feel bad when I vape heavy VG juice. Id take 80PG over 80VG any day, much , much better throat hit and that;s all I care about honestly , I dont give a damn about clouds.

I agree with you there, but unfortunalty quite a few have allergies to pg, inlcuding myself. I vape mostly 100% VG and since its so dense, it sometimes after major chainvaping makes my chest feel heavy/stuffy. Sometimes i miss the throathit feeling, but i gotten used to it. However, i found out i can make the vg juice less dense by adding some water.

Clouds is seriously overrated in my opinion, seems theres many of us that doesnt really care about the cloud factor, yet, almost all the new attys are made for cloudchasing. I think their missing a marked of vapors thats not into cloudchasing and just want a good substitute for cigs by following the cloudchasing trend.
