so ive been using pod systems know for about 1 month & been using 20mg nic salts liquids & most of this week ive been having a blinding head ache almost like a migraine, im thinking this is down to 20mg been to strong & im drinking plenty of fluids so i know im not dehydrated, going order some 10mg liquid tonight & see how that goes.
 
It could be down to the high nic salt.
I vape standard 12mg all day with no problems and 50mg nic salts when I’m down the pub etc which does give me headaches if I over do it.
 
If you’ve been using 20mg salts for a month and only been getting headaches for a week, I would say it’s probably not related. Unless you’ve only been on the 20mg this week (it’s unclear from your post) OR you’ve been vaping them more frequently than before. It’s easy to overdo it with salts until you’re used to them, part of their appeal is they give a quick, strong hit that means you don’t need to vape as often.

when im at home & in the evenings i only vape 3mg, the reason i got into pods, was i needed something small for when im out walking the dogs, plus because i suffer with severe anxiety & panic attacks, nic salts work for me & have helped massively, going to drop my nic though & see what happens.

sorry ive only really been vaping the 20mg this week & probaly have been over doing it, i think 20mg is still too strong for me though..

Yep, almost certainly the 20mg then. I’m interested in how you feel the nic salts help with your anxiety? If you’ve bought a load of 20mg salts, you could sell them in the classies on here. Or buy the same flavour at a much lower strength (or 0mg) and dilute them to a strength you can vape.

when i say it helps in the past i would of caved in & asked a mate or who ever for a quick drag on there fag, since ive been using salts & had an attack while out i did not get the feeling inside where i needed a drag on a cig, as for the 20mg salts & friend of mine who vapes has taken them of my hands.

Ah, I get it. Definitely worth having something stronger than your usual to hand then, for times like that. Hopefully the 10mg will do the trick :)
 
@Mutley1 have you tried 12mg regular nic in your pods? Or even 6mg? I’m just wondering whether it might be the chemicals added to the nic to react it into salt that disagrees with you (usually benzoic acid I think).

Regular nic is more potent and easier to absorb by vaping anyway, the only advantage of salt nic (for some) is the lack of throat hit.
