I actually asked the doctor for some beta blockers but he said I didn't need them as my blood pressure was ok.
Thinking about it, when I drink a lot of coffee I get kind of anxious and edgy. Beta's are prescribe for anxoiusness so it must raise blood pressure and nicotine is a stimulant like caffeine. It would make sense that this is the problem.
What are the sides with beta blockers? If not too bad I will ask the doc again and see if that sorts it. I don't want to give up vaping!

I keep going back only to be fobbed of. Its strange I didn't get it with skycig if it is nicotine but not sure what strength it is. I have seen lots of posts about the same problem on US forums but no definitive answer.
Some posts say it's stress/anxiety related - some that it's stimulant but one thread said they had the Sam thought so dropped to 0 nicotine and still no good.
It does get worse the more I smoke/vape so will try to cut down.

I'm not in any way blaming e-cigs for this, but I have been experiencing chest pains accompanied by a dull ache in my lower leg. Now this is a problem I have had for some time and have been to the doctor about it numerous times.
Egc was fine and blood flow/circulation/heart all ok. Was told to lay off the coffee and to stoppage smoking which I have done with the use of skycig and the problem went away.
After a few problem free months I broke my last skycig and smoked analogues for a week until my new kit arrived, causing the symptoms to return.
Since ceasing the analogues however the symptoms have returned each time I have vaped.
I only use .8 ml a day and dropped too 10mg strength incase it was nicotine related. I'm still having the symptoms but not convinced the nicotine isn't to blame. It mightbe worth tryingssome 0 nicotine.
Anyone else have any thoughts?

Purely out of curiosity, and pg/vg aside - how much juice do you use and how many analogs were you on?
I was on 15 a day ish but only use about .8ml a day

Glad you like it. Now let the e-juice experimenting begin! Try something sweet like pina colada.
Happy vaping!

Just thought I'd report back on my first week for any would be vapours sat on the fence.
I love it!
So much more vapour than a skycig and once you find your flavour you will not go back. I was a little worried when I started on the free juice that came with the kit but now I have pina colada and gv I can't get enough!
I use paradise vapes and prefer 50/50 pg/vg and find the 10mg strength best. I smoked between 10 and 20 a day.
The battery life is great and lasts 2-3 days (600mah) as does the juice (1.6ml)
Can't fault it at all.
So thanks to all the members who helped me out

Well it was the juice - thanks whufc.
So I spent most of the night trying as many as possible out, resulting in a nicotine overdose, but well worth it.
I found the best smelling ones were not the best tasting. For example the Irish coffee and rum ice cream I went for first were nowhere near as good as as I had expected but was presently surprised by the fruit flavours. I even tried a bit of this and a bit of that in the end and am now vaping a cocktail of strawberry menthol and pal mal which is great.
I have discovered that mostly pg as these are is a little low on vapour for me. Can't wait for my 50/50 to arrive.

I looked at the menthol from jacvapour and paradise but went with the latter as they allow you to change vg/pg mix to 50/50 which I'm keen to try. I ordered 20ml of their tobacco menthol and 5ml of their gv. Hope these will be a bit better than what I have. I have also ordered a selection from a forum member so will be spoiled for choice.!

From bad to worse! Couldn't take any more of the menthol so tried the unmarked sample bottle they sent. This was a mistake as it tastes like jif. I kid you not! I assume it's a lemon one but it's simply not vapable. Got the skycig menthol carto on my Riva bat for now >  |
