Headache caused by juice?

[MoeHS1]

I saw another thread here of someone who was complaining about headaches. My problem is slightly different so I thought it would be better to make a separate thread.

I just recently started vaping and I have only tried a few flavours. I bought a bottle of Debbie does donuts and I filled up half a tank to try it out. I enjoyed the flavour but after I finished the tank I started getting a headache. It wasn't a terrible headache but it was still something. I tried it again a few days later and again I got a headache. Has this happened to anyone else? Can a certain flavour cause a headache. Thisis my first dessert type flavour the rest have all been fruity

I have had a similar experience with a juice I have used - although cannot confirm it was the juice.

Curious to see what others have to say though.

I have stopped using the juice to be safe. Put it up for sale. Will wait for more responses

How long are you vaping for now @MoeHS1 ? What devices, coils are you using and what nic level?

 

[Cespian]

Hey

1. Does it perhaps contain a higher nicotine content than what you normally vape?
2. Are you perhaps vaping more (more mls) immediately prior to your headache than other flavours?

Been vaping properly for about 5 weeks now. I have vaped before on friends mods etc but nothing regular. I'm using a evic vtc mini with a cubis tank and the stock 0.5 ohm coils my juices are all 0mg

I'm only using 0mg. I've vaped more with other flavours and I haven't had any problems

I went through exactly the same thing around the same time span you are going through... I tried everything and vaped high VG, tried other juices and a whole heap of other panic station things... at the end of the day for me anyway I think it was withdrawl symptoms from the position of the stinkies... I had bad headaches for a couple of weeks... and since then I can count the number of headaches that needed a Myprodol on the fingers of one hand!

Oh wow. The 2 ingredients I can attribute to headaches are nicotine and PG (dehydrating, in turn causing headaches). Sorry bud.

Yes, it is rare, but possible, that you have a reaction to one of the flavourings in there. Asthmatics are more likely to have adverse reactions to specific flavourings.

I'm not a smoker so it can't be withdrawal symptoms

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.....

I used to have a asthma that bothered me when I was younger. So it might be that. Thanks for the input Andre

You will quickly learn which flavourings to avoid.

For now it's still kinda vague. I'm sure there's quite a few different flavourings that have to get mixed together to end up with donuts.

Just a thought, but how do we know what the nicotine levels is in ejuice, except for the label? Isn't it possible that MoeHS1 accidentally got a DDD that has a % of nicotine in? and that's whats causing the headaches? With all respect...
I didn't at first, but seems that DDD gets better with time.. steep so to say very important, after 2 weeks it just seems so much better than when I bought it, could it be that the juice didn't steep properly?

Some good points. I have heard of labels being mixed up before. However this didn't taste like it had nicotine in it. Maybe I should leave it for a while and then try it again?

AGREED. Week 6 off the stinkies was crazy.

Does it feel like a hangover headache?

Actually... Just CAP Choc Donut for the donuts. What Andre meant was that many similar flavours contain similar compounds especially bakery types. It is just logical. So he meant it could be chocolate, pastry or creams in this instance.

I don't drink so I can't compare it

Thanks. I will try to stay away from those then

Someone who has never smoked / consumed nicotine will notice when they vape a nicotine juice as it buuurns your throat!
I cannot vape 3mg juice at all.

Also the colour of the juice is often a give away, clear juice is generally 0mg and then the darker juices normally contain nicotine.

I noticed some flavourants contain alcohol, I was wondering whether that might play a part? If it has not been "steeped" properly, perhaps the alcohol remains and can cause this? Is it possible?

I've heard of similar reactions from certain vanilla type flavours - it could be that you have an allergy to something in there. Pretty rare though and quite unlucky.

@MoeHS1 Are you drinking a lot of water? These headaches could be a sign of dehydration. Higher VG juices will have a greater effect especially if you get a bit carried away at trying to alter the atmospheric conditions in your immediate vicinity
