First Time Vaper

[Finch88]

Hi all, new vaper here that literally just got his first PV today! I skipped the cig-likes and went straight for an eGo-C battery w/ a 6ml tank, and I couldn't be happier. But I am a little concerned, because I like vaping so much more than cigarettes already, I've had a hard time putting this thing down ... I fear that I may be taking in more nicotine than I really want.

From what I have read, nicotine in e-juice is measured by mg/ml, and I've vaped approximately 2ml of 6mg liquid today. So that would be 12mg of nicotine, and I used to smoke just under a pack of Camel Lights per day. The strange thing is though, a pack of cigarettes should have more nicotine, yet I get more satisfaction and a stronger buzz from vaping.

Is there something I'm overlooking that could shed some light on this? I really don't want to increase my nicotine addiction, so I'm trying to stay on top of how much I'm taking in. Luckily, I can get juice as low as 2mg from the vape shop in town, but I'm not sure if I really need to.

Anyways, if anyone can provide some insight, I'd really appreciate. Also, happy vaping!

At this point I wouldn't worry about increasing your nicotine addiction or how much you vape as long as it keeps you off the cigarettes, your body will tell you what is right for you.

You absorb much less nicotine vaping than smoking and it comes on slower. Drink plenty of water and if you should feel sweaty, a headache, tinnitus, nauseous, etc. you have gotten too much nicotine. If too much, stop immediately, drink water, and get fresh air. In about 30 minutes to 1 hr, it will pass. If you are staying awake longer than you like, you might cut down nic level at night.

2 ml a day is not that much. Many here do 4-6ml a day range. 6mg is pretty low nicotine, but it must be working for you if you are satisfied.

Welcome to the forum and congrats on making the switch.

Thank you! So far I feel fantastic, but I just can't believe I didn't switch sooner. I mean, I used to love going to hookah lounges, and vaping is like a pocket-sized version of that ... at least for me anyways.

And I have to say, your avatar is pretty much the greatest thing I've ever seen.

2mls is nothing
6mg, extremely nothing

Dont worry at all!

avg - people use 2-3mls a day
avg - people just starting use 18-24mg juice

if your happy, stay where you are, use more, use less, whatever keeps you happy
trust me, if you have to much, you will know

I second what juicejunky said. The nic content in juice does not compare easily to the stated nic content in cigarettes. 2 ml of 6 mg juice per day should not be an issue for anyone.

Welcome to ECF! Enjoy being off cigs

I vape 3 to 4 ml per day at 24mg..Been doing this for 2 years now..... I wouldn't consider myself a heavy vaper though

i wouldnt consider you one either
Heavy vapers are those using 10+ to me
(more then you think use that)

 

[Finch88]

10+??? I'm not even sure how that could be possible!

But thanks a lot everyone, this is all really exciting. Now if I can get all my friends to switch ... that would be even better!

 

[jrg6769]

Yes Iv'e read where some people do 10 mills per day... Thats crazy!

 

[jrg6769]

Iv'e been able to get a few to switch

 

[virgo81]

I've tried a few times already today, but they were all disinterested in even trying one vape. It was a bit upsetting, really.

 

[jrg6769]

Yup, some smokers try one hit on mine and it burns there throat... Then they wont try it again

 

[KraKsX]

if they dont want to quit, they won't

i have one friend who likes mine, and still swears it doesnt work

(i hold cards nights, and put out a ego with menthol and drip tips for guest to use) im slowly getting people )

 

[Finch88]

What sort of menthol do you use? All I've tried just tastes like breath mints.

since i dont vape cig tasting anymore (or just menthol) iv been mixing things to try and make 'NuPorts'
seems people like extra menthol, tasting like vicks cough drops more then tobacco
all of my tobacco has come from me winning stuff at this point
i do remember one from TheVaporRoom.net that i like when i started that was a good menthol tobacco

edit: searched my empty juice it was called port menthol (i dont toss anything in the trash, bottles can be reused!)

Cool man, thanks. I'm not necessarily trying to get a menthol cigarette flavor, but just a mild minty flavor. Right now I have "Tombstone" from a company called Villain Vapors ... it's a sort of light mint/fruit flavor (tastes like Ice Breaker Duos, honestly). The only other menthol at this shop felt like inhaling an icicle. Tasted good, just too strong.

ok, three places to check out, in price order

MtBakerVapor (great everyday prices)
The Vapor Room . net (free 15ml for 1st customer)
FuZion Vapor (not much menthol here, just great juice)

i have over 50 flavors, and these are my top three go to's
