Sounds like you are overdoing it on vaping by having too much nic in your system. I had this happen a time or two when I chain vaped 16 mg. Now I am at 8 mg and I don't get any nausea at all or headaches. So, the lower nic may help if you plan on chain vaping. You could also use your 12 mg during the day and use a lower nic level at night.
