Eliquid Causing Headaches!

I've got 2 x bottles of Carolina 100mg PG liquid, both about 1 year old. I started mixing liquids with it today, and noticed that the nicotine mixture has begun to oxidize. This liquid is normally clear, but has begun to take-on a sort-of orange hue.

I mixed 2 x 60ml bottles of Mothers Milk, and 2 x my RY4 w/cheesecake and coffee. The oxidized nicotine liquid gives these liquids a tobacco-like throat hit that I haven't gotten since I quite smoking. It's the one thing that I've always missed about smoking. I could get this when mixing my liquids at 18mg, but never at 3mg.

I keep my liquids in the refrigerator, but I'm thinking I could maybe accelerate the oxidization process, by leaving the liquids unsealed?  

I've already done it, but was just making sure it was ok. I tend to mix down my liquids quite a bit, adding VG into an 18mg base to end up with a 6mg blend with light taste. I do that for my All day vaping, so I don't overpower my taste buds. The problem is, the last two colors I got were colorless, so it was hard to tell which bottle I picked up or was in which tank.

So, I came up with the idea... put one drop of food coloring in one bottle (30ml). I chose blue. I filled 1/3rd with my juice choice, filled the rest of the bottle with VG, and added one drop of blue food coloring. One drop went a long way and turned it quite blue.

Besides coloring the cotton, is there any adverse affects of doing this? I don't think one drop of food coloring over a half a weeks time to vape the bottle is enough to worry, but I just wanted to run across this to you guys. I know it will discolor the cotton, but I rewick it myself anyways. I color it for identification, so there is a reason to do it, and It seems it's easier to tell the liquid level as well. It doesn't color the vape or my mouth, but the only thing I'd be afraid of, is if ejuice leaked, it would dye whatever it got on.

Any input?  

Sometimes I get headaches and I think it's cuz I chain Vape most days and when I don't I get a headache from lack of nicotine . I'm only vaping 3 mgs because of my tendency to chain Vape lol.  

So I recently purchased a Pulse X 90w. And I've noticed that the squonk bottle is leaking inside the mod itself. And sometimes juice gets pretty close to the positive battery contact. Does anyone know what may be causing this? Whenever I fill the bottle I always fill it up to about 3/4 so that there is displacement for the tube itself. I get it all screwed down and back in then after a while, or my next fill I notice that it's leaked again. This is becoming a rather annoying problem. And I'd rather not chuck a mod that I just bought because of a stupid issue such as this. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!  

I was wondering if there is a way to tell what is causing a headache, vaping too much, or not enough?


I can never tell which it is.  

E-cigarette cancer warning as new study finds mint and menthol flavour risk

The study of menthol and peppermint vapes revealed high concentrations of a carcinogenic additive called pulegone that US watchdogs recently banned in food.

The pulegone additive, a constituent of oil extracts from mint plants, is believed to cause liver cancer if absorbed in high enough quantities.​

Mint, menthol e-cigarette liquids high in cancer-causing compound: study - Reuters

The findings, published in the journal JAMA Internal Medicine​

Vape Pods Taste Minty Thanks to Extremely High Levels of a Chemical Banned in Food

But despite all the evidence that pulegone is carcinogenic and causes liver toxicity, researchers found the chemical is present in mint and menthol-flavored e-cig liquid at levels far above a safe threshold.​

This study is the latest in a growing pile of proof to how little-regulated e-cigs and vapes are. To illustrate that, researchers compared pulegone levels in mint and menthol e-cig liquid to levels in menthol cigarettes. At all levels of daily consumption, pulegone exposure from vape pods are significantly higher than exposure from cigarettes, with rates ranging from 44 to 1,608 times higher.​

So much for Juul's best seller - menthol.  

Well I bought a mod and a kayfun and after about a week of fiddling and trying to get it to work its just way too much of a hassle so I am probably going to sell it to my friend that wanted a mod and kayfun anyway. Now I currently tried to upgrade from mini nautilus and vision spinner 2 to mod but I kind of want to downgrade even further since I went through 2 vision spinners and 2 mini nautlius in about a month and a half so obviously I am not happy. Im sure you all know why i hate the mini nautilus. But now i was thinking about going back to the Halo g6 starter kit that i got started with vaping. When i look back it was so hassle free, convenient, and i didnt attract attention like the bigger batteries etc which are usually frowned upon by people in the general public. I use 12mg so I was wondering to make up for the smaller battery and vapor that i should upgrade to 18mg? Yes I know im going to end up spending like another $100 for a starter kit and halo ejuice which is expensive since its $20 for 30ml and other ejuice doesnt seem to work in the g6 cartridges. I really need a 2nd opinion on what people think of this plan. The g6 should last me awhile unlike the vision and mini nautilus which id have to keep rebuying which is like $50 a month even though i buy off mtbakervapor which has much lower prices than halo even though its also prob lower quality. What do you guys think? Are mods just an addiction hobby thing that smokers actually need.  

Hi ,

Was an active member for quite a while. Gave away all my vaping gear apart from two billet box mods. A 2015 and 2017.

I've dusted them off. Bought some eLiquid from old Old faithful halo.

What are people running in their BB? I've got a box of 510 cartomizers. Should I look at something else ?

I've been on nic gum for the past few years..and need to get off it. So back to vaping ..thanks for the help.

I noticed since I gave vaping away reos mods has closed. And nic salts are now an option..how quickly things change .  

Just got order from Halo. They be getting fancy....

 

I'm new to vaping, I started vaping because I'm getting tired of people complaining about the smoking odor after I smoke. And I don't even smoke that much, maybe 6-8 cigs a day.
I started trying out the Stlth about 3 weeks ago and got used to it, so I went to a store to get the refillable stuff. I bought a Caliburn device and the guy in the store recommended a juice from his own store brand.
After I got home I put the juice in the device and tried it but I couldn't feel the throat hit at all, the juice was 3mg, the Stlth I used was 3.5mg which had the perfect hit for me.
I went back to the store and asked if I can exchange for one with a higher Nic. He told me he can't take it back because I opened it, strange that if it's his own brand, couldn't he just refill it and reseal it in another bottle? I only used about 2ml so far.
But anyway, he told me the ejuice has smoother draw that's why there's no throat hit as NIC salt, I did some more research and found that it's the opposite of what I've read, everything I read are saying that ejuice has more throat hit than Nic salt.
Sorry for the long store, the bottle he sold me was 60ml ($30) which is a big waste to throw away. Is there anyway I can salvage this bottle by mixing it with something else to give me that little bit of a throat hit when I draw?
