For me, GLV Purple Stuff does the same, which is a shame. I adore that stuff. I think it's the throat and lung hit that stuff has. It's usually worse when I start vaping it. I just turn the power and airflow down and it goes away. After vaping it a while, I can crank everything back up.

Is your mod VV or VW? Does your topper have adjustable airflow? If the answer to either, or both, is yes, you should be able to modify your vape when that's occurring to make it stop. Hope that helps.

FWIW, I don't get hiccups from being over-nic'ed. With cigs, I'd get the hiccups if I went too long without eating. (I still don't understand that, but if I ate, hiccups went away.) When I get a little too vape-happy and start to nic out, I get slightly nauseated and a mild headache.

I never experienced this. I rarely ever even get the hiccups but this was listed as a symptom when quitting smoking:

Hiccups
Hiccups are reported to be a symptom of nicotine OD, for some people. Because of this, and their common occurrence, they are also known as the 'niccups'. The idea that they may result from an alternative delivery path for the nicotine, via the mouth or gullet (i.e. swallowing it), is attractive to some people.

Hiccups are reported to be experienced by smokers and tobacco users, and are said to be more common among those who use chewing tobacco, Snus, or dissolvable tobacco tablets. It is further suggested that they swallow tobacco juice and hiccups may result. They are not common among pipe and cigar smokers, who are less likely to inhale or swallow smoke, or users of nasal snuff.

Good luck to you and let us know what you do in order to help this issue. It could help others who have experienced the same symptom.

Hiccups can be caused by irritation of a nerve that runs down your neck/throat (eating, for example, can cause them and the tried and true "drink a glass of water" remedy soothes the nerve/reflex). If that's true in your case, the nic would contribute, but so would anything that contributes to TH; PG levels and/or flavouring constituents, for example.

From what you describe, it's one particular juice (with, I assume, not a drastically different nic level than your other juices), so I'd suspect it is other factors in the one juice. Since (I assume) you can't adjust the flavour mix, you're left with...

* dilute the juice with straight VG - this will reduce all the TH components.
* get a reduced nic mix of the juice from the vendor (to compensate for the other irritants in the flavouring).
* get a new ADV.
