pg intolerance, give up vaping?

Artie Fufkin

Lomez, thanks again for pointing me in the right direction. I've researched deeper and it looks like I'd be daft not to go with your Istick/Nautilus combination.

Dont forget to let us know how you get on and if you need any other help I will try my best too offer advice.

I'm sure looking forward to getting a hold a these quality bits of kit and having a better vape but really I'm not sure it's actually going to help with the ill feelings I get. I thought I was pg intolerant but, as I mentioned earlier, it now seems that the 100% vg stuff I tried made me feel even worse. I just can't figure out what it is that doesn't agree with me. One thing I have begun to notice is that later in the day my vaping is more pleasurable. In the evening after dinner while drinking a couple of beers I can vape more and really enjoy it, whereas in the morning and mid afternoon anything more than a handful of drags makes me ill. What on earth is that about? Anyone got any ideas?

Certain juices do that too me lime sparkle gives me dreadful headaches for example even though its a really nice vape,    I cant stomach certain vapes early like some custards I also tend to vape at a higher resistance (ohms) in the morning and then switch too lower in the evenings.    What nic level are you on and how do you vape?  I.E do you chain drag or 1-2 puffs then put it down,  do you tend to cough a lot when vaping ?

I've just received my istick and mini nautilus. Superb stuff! Nice and weighty with a real quality feel and power too, a real step up from the beginner kit I had. Thank you so much for steering me towards that. Tried my usual 18mg tobacco vape at 3.4v and goodness me there's masses more vapour, more flavour and a banging throat hit. Also tried some 8mg fruity and was blown away by the hit from that too. This is going to transform my vaping...I'll have to start again with figuring out my nic levels and pg/vg mix and now I've got watts and volts to play with too

Regarding my vaping habits Lomez, until now I needed 18mg to give me the th I required, anything less just didn't do it. However even when I tried the 8mg stuff it made me feel bad so I am convinced my bad feelings aren't nicotine related, UNLESS i have been unwittingly vaping more and deeper to try and compensate for the lack of th. I should try 0% nic and see what happens. If it isn't nic related, it surely has to be pg or vg intolerance? I tried the 100%vg but it made me really ill. I haven't seen 100%pg to try, maybe there is no such thing?

If I vape 2/3 drags at a time I seem fine, it's if I go for longer [like I would with a cigarette] that I feel queazy and get the aches. So I suppose, whether it's the nicotine, the pg, the vg or something else, I'll just have to alter my habit to accommodate. In any case, I'm sticking with it and I'm going to make it work.

Well im glad I have been able to help.

Well, it seems that I have been over vaping. Since getting my new kit, I've been keeping a better eye on what I'm doing. Up till now I've been favouring 18mg to give me a throat hit resembling what I was used to with my Marlboro reds but was also vaping deep and for 2/3 minutes at a time [as I did with a cig]. I felt ill, so would vape lower mg but with even deeper inhales and for longer too. I think the slower body reaction to vaping nicotine over cigs was making me do this...I wasn't getting the instant fix and by the time I felt it I'd taken in too much. Kind of a stupid and obvious mistake which I'm sure someone would have told me but I have no mates who vape so I was learning on my own. Anyway, I'm now enjoying a 12mg hit with the nautilus and istick and only taking a couple of drags at a time and it seems to be working for me.

Regarding the istick, maybe I got a duff one but after a couple of days use I've had to put a  thin washer between it and any tank I attach [not just the nautilus] otherwise it displays "atomiser short" and won't work. Also, the power button has started sticking on occasion.

Id return the Istick mate if I was you,  there has been a small quantity with the issue you state that have eventually stopped working,  unfortunatley it looks like you may have one of those.  When vaping I find I have some really bad days in terms of coiling and flavour and just not getting things right,  but thats life its a challenge and we carry on regardless and come out the other side smelling great and feeling better then ever.

I am not too sure about vg or pg and the condition you have towards it, but all i can say is try and get some advice on the forum and dont give up on ecigs. I was smoking and switched and now when walking up the stairs i dont weeez anymore and my lung capacity has improved loaaaaads.
