How long since you quit smoking?
Over two years
How long have you been on 5mg nic mixes?
You may not think you can tell it’s there, but your body can.
[I don’t understand “It tastes grow. But feel super weak”]
How many ml do you vape a day, and do you chain vape?
Dripper or tank, and what coils and wattage? MTL or DTL?
What % pg/vg?

I am finding out as my vape gear evolves so must my my recipes.I started at 18mg nicotine and dropped to 9mg within a year and a half.I am now at 3mg and thinking of going lower.
My mixing has changed as well .I am also vaping a custard or cream on a daily basis and am discovering that I have to lower my flavoring percentages or they become sickly sweet.
I started out mixing Vanilla Custard V1(CAP) in the 10%-12% range.I am now cutting that in half and using it in the 5%-8% range.
I am sure the reason for my having to change is my equipment.I now use mods in the 45-65 watt range on subtanks or rda’s using Ti ,SS, or fused claptons.

When you go sub ohm coils if you don’t drop the nic way down you can get sick. I went from 6mg to 2mg because I didnt have a choice. Also, early in the game for me my allergy/intolerance to PG came on very suddenly.

I sit here all day most days…and vape my ass off.
It’s hard to pinpoint your situation, but I began a couple years ago at 24mg nic [and above]
I have decreased it more in the last 6 months at a faster rate than before.
Normally, I only used tanks, single coils, low wattage, and I still had to cut back.
I haven’t [felt] the nic in my throat for some time, and I have never felt sick, but I somehow
could tell my body needed less nicotine…call me f’n psychic ! But when I listened [to my body]
and decreased my nic level, everything worked out better. Better flavor, and larger inhales to start.
I use a lot more than 15ml/day. I have even had great batches [to me] that I ADV that I have
simply diluted with VG because I needed the nic level down, and it kept me from dumping them.
None of us [and I am no expert] can solve your problem without being with you 24/7 and seeing
exactly what you are doing, but the great thing here at ELR is there are so many that have been
down so many paths in this new vaping world. Like anywhere or anything else, listen to all ideas, then use your own brain to sort through all of the suggestions, make your own conclusions. As you have already been on ELR for a while, I know you have seen so much help and advice freely given, short of the few that get their panties knotted over personal opinions. No one has a magic wand, that is only in Disney movies and other mythical arenas, but ELR has more willingness to help each other, more positive attitudes, per capita, than I am sure anyone will find elsewhere, and I am certain you are aware of it.
As @BoyHowdy states, this whole world of vaping is not only evolving, but usually faster than the normal vaper can keep up with, and to survive it, you/I/we must also evolve. Some of us remain in a comfort zone, and there is no wrong in that…providing they don’t experience differences that affect their comfort. In your case, something has changed, therefore must you. Many here to help, as long as you allow the advice, then you must make the decision. I hope this ramble is of some help, and if not, print it out and run it through the shredder. 
And as Maureenie brings up, you can develop an intolerance to PG. The bottom line in this vape world is simple, there are almost as many variables as one can count. Hang out, hang in, and Tonto will surely be along to help the Lone Ranger solve your dilemma. In the meantime, we are always here for you.

my first thought is she’s over nic’d herself. I’ve gotten very queasy from mixes with more nic than I’m used to. I don’t know you so if you’re very careful with adding nic to mixes forgive me

Honestly i think I am getting sick possibly with the flu which is why the liquid makes me feel sick but still doesn’t explain why it tastes very weak as in no throat hit or the harshness I actually like.

FA makes an additive called flash you could try. Supposedly it adds throat hit.

really? onset of a flu or cold would be a very reasonable explanation of why your taste would be impaired. that’s a fairly common symptom.

I am pretty sure I am getting the flu sadly. I got the flu shot but this must be a different strain. Well anything I vape seems way too sweet and makes me nautious so I was wondering if it was the actual liquid or this sickness that started today. But at least we know that it may be from the sickness.

I will have to check it out! Thank you.
Don’t know when you got the flu shot, but a flu shot is suppose to give you a mild case of flu in order to build a tolerance to that strain of flu. Some folks may get a little more than a mild case at times.
