Hey Deb!
Any level of nic juice can make you nauseous if you're nic-ed out. Have you been vaping none stop? Are you drinking enough water? Nausea is one of the key signs that you've had a bit too much nic for the moment. Take a break & drink some water. If it continues you should prob drop your nic level. You'll feel better really soon:)
 
How low do you consider low? 12mg made me sick as a goat.

Also, how are you vaping it? Apparently a dripper can deliver a great deal more nicotine because of the great deal more vapor.

I started at 18 in a tank on a battery, then lowered to 12 in tanks. (edit: over ~2 months)

Then got a mod and dripped 12 for a very short period of time, moved to 6, now am at 3, and am consuming so much/starting to get nicced out quicker these days so am considering a drop to 1.5 even... :ohmy: (edit: over another ~2 months)

A well set up RDA can produce much heavier vapor resulting in more nic per puff. If yuo are getting over nicced at 3mg try going zero nic most of the time and dripping a little 3mg when you get a craving. Who knows? Yoo might end up quitting nic by accident!

Good Luck!

All good points given above but one thing seems to be missing.

Are you a regular nic user?
If your body isn't used to getting nic you'll have a faster and stronger reaction to it.

How many times have you seen or heard about first time smokers getting sick after a few puffs. Or someone that's gone a period of time without one getting dizzy or have a head rush.

Are you vaping different favours but at the same nic strength and still feeling ill? I ask this as I had an experience where I changed juice flavours once, they were both the same nic level from the same company with the same PG VG ratio but when I started vaping one certain flavour, mango if I remember correctly, it just made me feel ill. I stopped using it for a few days and had no problem, went back to the mango and same sick feeling.

Was it a bad bottle of juice, mislabelled nicotine strength, or the flavour itself? I honestly don't know but my gut feeling is it was the flavour or another unknown additive.

I considered it might be one of those things you mentioned -- possibly a mislabelled bottle -- it does happen sometimes. Or something in some particular juice. I've found that I can go as high as 11mg at least for an hour or so, but Halo's Turkish 12mg made me feel horrible after a fairly short time; I'm not sure it's just because of nic, but maybe something in that particular ejuice.

Or some people apparently just become hyper-sensitive to nicotine, after switching to vaping; I've seen a lot of posts along these lines, folks who got so sensitive to it that 6mg or even 3mg just became too much. I know that when I was first learning that mouth/throat/nose type of inhale, one night while practicing it I gave myself the sharp stomach pains -- for me, that's the sign right before nausea that I'm over-nic'ed -- on 6mg ejuice, using an eRoll! Not exactly a fog machine! :D

You have received some good suggestions. Thank goodness I have never had this happen to me and I normally vape 20 hours with 18mg juice. But I hate that feeling so I hope you get to feeling better. I don't know how long you have been vaping but could it be the pg instead of the nic. You can develop a sensitivity to pg at any given time. Just something to think about. Maybe try a 100% vg with the same nic amount and see if you can tell a difference. Good luck to you and let us know how you are doing.
