Let us know how you get on wo'nt you? It would also be a good Idea to give it a week at least to see if there are any improvements.
You could also try nic juice from either TW (Platinum Ice 54mg) or Cloud 9's Neat 54mg) as they are clear in colour and reconed to be purer
Hope it sorts things out for you.

Have you tried vaping just flavourless nic juice as your symptoms could possibly be down to flavourings?

I'd like to know a little more about the switch you've used as I'm still strugling to source a switch to use for my Kensington mod.

I think you'll find the GDPT is streets ahead of any other passthru available in the UK.
A friend of mine uses the normal passthru's (£8.99 from LF) and compared to the GDPT it's pants.
A good quality 2amp AC/USB adapter (Maplin) is a good idea to use it on, or you can get a 2amp hub online pretty cheap.
The Box 101 is every bit as good as the GDPT and is excellent for out and about. The batteries last a good 12 hours heavy vaping for me.

PG can in the begining cause irritations such as itching. I suffered with itching in the begining but after taking anti-histamines for a few weeks the itching went away.
VG can cause congestion, I know if I use more than 50% VG in my mixes my lungs feel severely congested.
36mg nic strength I would class as extra high. I started on 36mg but after a couple of weeks of restlessness, mild headaches and twitching when I went to bed I found out that these symptoms were due to vaping high nic and so I had to cut back.
Problem was that my comfortable spot was 20mg only it did'nt satisfy me at all, it just did'nt hit hard enough. But rather than headaches and body poping in my sleep I perservered.
Acouple of months into vaping I bought a GDPT and tried 5v vaping for the first time, and wow what a hit, in fact when I was out and about with my Screwdriver MK2 I could'nt wait to get home to switch to my GDPT.
I now vape at 5v exclusively GDPT at home and my Box 101 on the go and have to say I'm very satisfied now, and no more headaches and twitching.

I've vaped in my local Tesco, only at the checkout though.
Funny thing was that the first time I vaped in there I did it without thinking and got told of for smoking "you can't smoke in here luv" she said. After explaining what it was I was doing and assuring her that there was no tobacco or smoke involved managed to convert her and her assistant to using e-cigs. They were my first converts.
Now I only vape at the checkout as it does'nt look good vaping around food, you get some horified looks from some people.

You'll have to let me know what you did with your Dulce de Leche Perpy to get it, as you say "luberly".
Recipe please.

To date my own experimentation has involved the use of F'art, DV, LorAnn, Cloud 9 and Asda Rum. I am however looking forward to trying flavourings from TPA and Flavour West in the near future.
As I mention in my post on mixing not all flavourings are equal, that's not to say that one vendors flavourings are better than anothers, It just means that there are good flavours and there are not so good flavours from all vendors.
It's all trial and error when looking for a good flavour, for example, as I mention in my post, in my search for chocolate flavourings I found only 3 out of 6 that I tried that resembled chocolate, and one of those is more like cocoa.
Also I found that although a particular brand of chocolate went well in one recipe it did'nt suit another and so I had to use a different chocolate for that.
My only frustration is not being able to find decent White Rum and Dark Rum flavourings, for Dark Rum I was very happy with LorAnn Butter Rum but you ca'nt get it anymore outside of the US, also they wo'nt ship it due it having a high flash point. For a White Rum Flavouring, as I've mentioned, I use Asda Rum flavouring, not by choice but because there is'nt anything else available.
So you really do have to experiment with flavourings from different vendors untill you find what is best for you. It's also worth mentioning that as taste is subjective what one person finds to be a good flavouring from a particular vendor may not suit someone else.

I suppose being an exclusive 5v vaper I'm lucky in that there is'nt much out there that caters for 5v vaping. Everything is geared at 3.7v, a level I do'nt get any satisfaction from.
Tried 6v and even destroyed an atty at 7.4v but always seem to come back to the magical number 5v.
I did think about a VV such as a Provari but then what would be the point if I only used it at 5v.
I'll stick with my Box 101 and save myself lots of money.

I got some on Dave K and Dave Hi Fi's recomendation to add to a couple of pre-made juices I had that were pretty rank. The stuff is very strong and I only put 1 drop in 5ml of each of the rank juices and they were totally transformed.
I hav'nt made it up as a juice to vape on its own yet though, but will get round to it.
