So, I'm really new to vaping but I've been reading and experimenting a TON over the last month.
I've been suffering from fatigue since I started, especially not wanting to get out of bed in the morning which is not like me at all. I've read a bunch of forum threads on the subject and the common suggestions are diabetes, lack of vitamin D, VG vs PG.
That's not it! It's crappy nicotine! I've been checked recently for diabetes and I take 5k IU of D every day (that's plenty). I've done a ton of experiments with VG vs PG and it doesn't matter. Reducing the nicotine helps, but less just means less sleepy and more means more so.
I have a ton of experience with toxins and detox, and this has all the signs of a toxic substance. Fatigue and frequent urination are two of the most common symptoms of ingesting toxic substances. I'm not saying that nicotine in general is toxic. It probably is, but I spent decades smoking and eight years chewing and never had a reaction like this.
I just flushed everything I had down the sink and it struck me how strong the odor was - I guess you could describe it as peppery. It was bad.
I've just ordered juice from two reputable suppliers - one of them is Nude Nicotine which I've seen is highly recommended on forums for their quality of base nicotine. I'm chewing again until these arrive so I should be detoxed enough by then to test their products and confirm my hypothesis.
The nasty nicotine I got was from Liquid Barn USA. I got it because it was highly ranked in Google search results, and I didn't know better.
Here's a conspiracy theory for y'all: One way to attack vaping would be to dump a bunch of poor quality nicotine on the market and make vapers feel ill. That would generate a lot of social media buzz about vaping being a bad thing. This could be done by creating a site to sell it that ranks high in search results. This would be really easy to do if you had the money and access to already high ranking sites, i.e. if you are rich and powerful.
Keep in mind, vaping doesn't just affect the tobacco companies themselves. It also affects the investors - the big banks, insurance companies, mutual funds etc. It also hurts the big pharmaceutical companies that make patches, gum and lozenges. And all of their investors.
Vaping hurts a lot of very wealthy and powerful people.
