Hi,
I'm not new to vaping, exactly, but I am new to attempting this full time. I actually managed to quit for a few weeks when e-cigs were pretty new in the US, but then I went back to work and returned to analogues.
Several years later, I've had 3 bouts of pneumonia involving really horrid pneumonia and steroids and antibiotics and it's been horrid... Revamping my desire to stop cigarettes, full stop. Currently I have a box mod? (I think it's called) and a fairly fancy tank called the Aspire, I believe, with cleito 120 coils (sorry, new to all the technology...) I got these from my kid who just quit smoking *and* vaping, heh. I run the thing at 60 watts as I've never felt the need to produce clouds of smoke, and do close the airholes halfway, and yes, mostly I use it mouth to lung to nose.
Here are my questions: I'm sensitive to PG, and really cannot have any of it in my e-juice, so I'm smoking the highest level of nicotine available around here, 12 m.g. nicotine. Which, I get it, vape shops aren't dying to OD their customers.... But I was an over 2 pack a day smoker, currently down to 1/2 pk a day, (waiting for the steroids to wear off, they aren't fun). However, I do find that the way I vape (pretty chill) leaves me times when I'm craving more nicotine. I'd gladly buy a less expensive device and load it up with some higher nicotine for the next few weeks, but I'm not quite sure how I can do that, given that I can't get more than 12 nicotine in a pure VG mix.
Should I try pushing my wattage higher? I don't want to, it makes me cough at this point, although I'm sure that will go away once my pneumonia and residual analogues do? Should I have a PG mix that's higher nicotine for a few weeks in a cheap pen and suck it up? Is there a way to get higher nicotine content in pure VG liquid? I doubt HIGHLY that I'm going to OD myself with the stuff, I can tell when I just need nicotine, versus feeling that old desire for a cigarette? I probably HAVE some old tanks and batteries laying around. If I hadn't just gotten pneumonia 3 times I'd have less hesitation in beiing willing to add in PG but I really am sensitive and get symptoms that are uncomfortable.
Any advice would be welcomed, I quit in 3 days
