A DIY Observation

[Jim Davis]

I've been mixing my own juice for a long time now. When I vape a freshly mixed bottle, I always have some kind of bad reaction. In the past, Ive had nausea, headaches, and dizziness. I mixed a fresh batch of menthol last night, and had a severe sore throat, and massive nose bleeds. (Woke up with a blood covered pillow.)

Here's the thing. After my mixes sit overnight, they're great. Good flavor, hit, vapor, and no negative reactions. This is a mystery to me. I can't vape freshly mixed juice. The next morning, they're good to go.

50% 36mg unflavored.
40% VG
10% Menthol crystals mixed in Jim Beam Bourbon.

???????????????????????

Could it be a delusion issue...err that the Crystal is not deluted enough in the mix...i don't know how long is takes menthol Crystals to breakdown...if its not totally broken down i could see it irritating your throat and sinus....It is an interesting question though

Could it be that you mix has not fully mixed and at first you are doing too high a nicotine content?
Not sure why it would be any different the next morning, unless your mixture has not been fully mixed yet with a fresh batch.

Here are the symptoms of nicotine overdose I found on the web.

• Nausea
• Vomiting
• Diarrhea
• Stomach pains
• Cold sweats
• Headache
• Dizziness
• Hearing or vision problems
• Confusion
• Chest pain
• Uneven or racing heartbeat
• Seizures

IANAD (I am not a doctor) Nor do I play one on TV.

Ridewithme;
The crystals are totally dissolved when I add the mixture to the juice. (Maybe not enough?)

Royal;
I thought the whole mixture may be mixed enough. I hard squirt the ingredients with the syringe, and shake well.

As far as nic overdose, I've been cutting my 36mg in half for over 6 months now. It's always a good vape after sitting overnight.

Probably, the chemicals haven't stabilized yet in the first few hours. (Just a guess)

But did you stay in a Holiday Inn Express? JJ(Just Joking)
JD- I would not continue to vape them right after you have mixed them. Wonder what in the world causes that type of reaction?

It *is* weird, but I mix before I run out, so I have the option to let the juice settle overnight.

Guess what? I'll be staying at a Holiday Inn Express Monday Night.

Did you ask yourself this question after the stay and find your answer????

Jim, Been a couple of weeks since ur post, have u found a remedy or a cause yet for ur nosebleeds? Did some research on nicotine, PG, & menthol crystals. Royal already posted symptoms of nicotine od. PG can irritate skin so maybe mix PG w/ VG if u haven't done so already. Menthol may be the culprit in this case. Menthol can irritate the skin as well. It's possible the mix has not diluted enough when used fresh as was stated earlier.
Strong odors that irritate the sinuses can cause nosebleeds. For ex., an aquaintance had several cats that lived in the house, the cats got into a territory war & would piss all over the house including the kids beds. The odor was horrendous. The smell was very strong on the mattresses. 2 of the kids would wake up w/ chronic nose bleeds. Once the matresses were changed the nose bleeds stopped.
A vitamin K deficiency can also cause nose bleeds as well.
Hope this helps & u find an answer.

I really haven't thought about it lately. It sits, at least overnight, and I vape it. I should have mentioned that I got this reaction even before I started using menthol. I think its a simple chemical reaction, and the mixture needs a few hours to stabilize.
