alright to start off, I'm new here. I dip Grizzly Straight only about twice a day. I'm wondering what kind of nicotine level liquids I need to be looking at getting to cope with my needs. I am also wondering if the effects of vaping and the effects of dipping are the same or at least similar. thanks for all of the help in advance. also how much would I need to vape to have similar effects of my 35 minute dips.
Drinking right now So my thoughts might be a bit all over the place add in self regulated dyslexia and ADHD and its even worse. Feel free to PM or ask anything for clarification.
I was not a smoker. Grew up around chain smokers. Holidays meant burning eyes from the people gatthering around and all smoking. I dipped mostly Copenhagen straight. Would get the Grizzy straight here and there. Throw in some Grizzly wintergreen to change things up. I dipped Similar to you, 1-3 times a day once off work. Weekends where a crapshoot as I was also a gamer and would dip all night.
I would also buy cigars and black and milds occasionally. A bit of hookah in there too.
I started with the camo mvp2 withe the camo tank thing it came with. I would chain with 18mg nic until it dry hitted and was not satisfied. 3 days later I found an awesome shop (Joosie Vapes here in Mesquite Tx) I ended up with a Nemises and Nimbus dripper. I dripped 18 nic for a while. Just some what recently dropped down to 12mg nic. I am now dableing in the 8mg nic ranges.
What you will need is a strong nic rush to simulate the dipping. I found a dripper could only simulate it. Although now equipment has change alot from when I started vaping. There are alot of high performance tanks that can hit like a dripper.
(a dripper is a high performance set up that requires you to drip eliquid onto a coil for a couple puffs before you have drip a few more drops of eliquid for a couple more puffs.) Don't worry about the terms now but definitely look into your available vaping options. read on...
I found that I like a bit of thought hit. you will have to test this yourself. Its the sting at the back of your thought that vaping can have. I associate this with that strong nic rush.
When I drink I would drip 36mg nic (dont worry you will eventually learn these terms, thats beyond crazy for dripping)
Your going to have to spend some $ to find what you like. Like I mentioned before my first set up lasted a whole 3 days before I upgraded big. Look at this as an investment.
I would recommend a device in the 40-100 watt range and a Aspire Natalus (simulates smoking) with this tank it will only handle about 10-12 watts chain vaping. If this is not doing it for you then all you will need to do is up to one of the high performance tanks or a dripper. If you got a device that can push those wattages then you should be good for a while without having to drop another big chunk of $.
The Aspire Nautalus vapes mouth to lung. Pull a puff into your mouth then a secondary inhale into your lungs.
There are set ups that you pull straight into your lungs ( if you ever smoked a hookah its like that) Like a sharp breathing inhale. I needed these to get that nic rush, you might not.
Dripper - Only go this route if you like to tinker. its easy to learn. but if you want plug and play then its a NO. its for the hot rodder. Maximum performance maintenance be darned.
There are some Higher performance tanks that you buy the premade coils screw em in - wet em and vape away until it becomes singed and pop a new coil in. Highly recommend if the Aspire Natalus is not quite hitting it for you.
