    How much can i smoke before I am addicted and my base level of dopamine drops?

    Thanks for the warnings guys, but i am choosing to still stick with it for 2 times a week (for 4 hours each day) or so at work, and also about once every two weeks i go out to party and i'll bring my e-cig with me...it helps to keep the alcohol away. I've never really had any urge for it...

    How much can i smoke before I am addicted and my base level of dopamine drops?

    Thanks! And just an update...in October i did about 3 times per week (for a few hours each of these 3 days, at work). Last week i only did it twice. I just got myself a coffee brewer at work to use as a substitute for the nicotine. I think it'll work. I'm going to try to take this week...

    This does get "cheaper" right?

    I don't really vape too much, but i think it's already helped me in terms of cost. I've been using my 510 ($40), boge cartomizers ($7), and six flavors ($20) for the past three months since i started. So that's about $70. I haven't gotten anything new in a month. I think I may need some new...

    Do you think they could market 0 nic vaping as a weight loss product?

    Some of the snack type e-liquid flavors I've tried are surpisingly amazing. A Christmas Cookies flavor, one that tastes just like Apple Jacks cereal, and of course the fruit flavored ones. I've seen products that give off food scents that are marketed to people trying to lose weight. Taste...

    What do you think contributes to the amount of harshness of an e-liquid?

    So today I was going back and forth between two different e-liquids. Liquid A (fresh mint for your information) is ridiculously "smooth" and there is no harsh feel to it. Liquid B (mango) has a harshness to it. The mango flavor tastes good, but there is a slight rough feel that I get when vaping...

    What's your technique? Do you inhale or not?

    So, what's everyone's technique. I just basically use what was said on the technique article on this site: " Draw (ie drag or pull) very, very lightly in comparison to a cigarette. Pull the vapor into the mouth, not the lungs. Draw for an extended length of time – for at least 3 seconds...

    Why is 18 mg (18 mg of nicotine/mg of e liquid) the standard?

    Maybe. I also don't inhale. Do you? And I don't blow the smoke out through my nose at all...that just feels weird to me. So i just take about a 6 second draw, hold it in my mouth, and exhale. I read on here that inhaling with e cigarettes is different as the particles aren't as small...

    Why is 18 mg (18 mg of nicotine/mg of e liquid) the standard?

    Oh wow, well i did not realize a lot of you get a good effect from an 18 mg or even 12 mg e liquid. I never smoked before this, and now only smoke 2-3 times per week in the afternoons. I take about 15 draws of an 18 mg e liquid and I'm good with that. So I just assumed an ex smoker would need...

    Why is 18 mg (18 mg of nicotine/mg of e liquid) the standard?

    Well, the two online vendors I use make you select your nicotine concentration...and 12 is "low", 18 is "medium" and 24 is "high". And at gas stations, I usually only see 12 mg and 18 mg.

    Why is 18 mg (18 mg of nicotine/mg of e liquid) the standard?

    One average draw from an e cigarette with 18 mg nicotine juice in it does not do too much to me (and I never even smoked much), and from what I've heard, for most users. So why is such a non-dense amount the standard in the business? Wouldn't it be better if 24 mg or 30 mg e liquid was the...

    How much can i smoke before I am addicted and my base level of dopamine drops?

    Well guys i've been doing this (vaping about 2-3 days per week at work) for 2 months now. Two weeks ago i took a whole week off...I just didn't feel a need for it that week for whatever reason. And there were no big urges for it. I'm being pretty careful. Even the days that i do it, i do it...

    How much can i smoke before I am addicted and my base level of dopamine drops?

    I'm new to smoking, period. I am trying to limit myself to 3 times per week only at work (it helps me at work...that's why i do it). You guys are more experienced in this than me. How much do you think I can do before becoming addicted to it? AKA...how much do you think i can do before my...

    I think i accidentally got some water into my e-liquid. Is that bad?

    I was cleaning out the tip of my Kanger Clearomizer with water. I put it back on the clearomizer and then i realized that there was still some a few drops of water in it. So the water may have gotten into my e-liquid. I mean its just water so it should be fine right? I don't know exactly...

    Is the air I exhale really just pg and vg vapor?

    So I'll be staying at my parents house for the next year or so. I don't really want to be exposing them to anything unsafe. I've heard that when we vapers exhale, that there is no nicotine left in the vapor. Is this true? If so How is this so? Any links to any studies done on the exhaled...

    Last ditch effort, then done. Inexpensive idiot-proof e-cig?

    I'm an idiot and i just got my first e-cig in the mail last week. It's a JoyeTech 510. I was pretty frustrated like you (and i made a similar thread, but in it i asked everyone for advice on how to use my 510 as opposed to advice on what set-up to buy) to start with too. I was getting a burnt...

    I just got my first e-cig in the mail. Joyetech 510. Help me out here, my disposables worked better than this

    Thanks buds. So today i recieved my clearomizers in the mail. They are Kanger M3 Clearomizers. They worked great today. More vapor than what I was getting before using the regular cartridges and dripping. If anyone who has used Kanger M3's before has any tips let me know. And let me know...

    any never-smokers here?

    I am...as u can see from my username lol. From 2008 to 2013 I would smoke hookah with friends maybe once or twice a month. I liked it (specifically the way it pumped me up and made me kinda care free and put me in the moment), but never felt like smoking on my own ever. Recently I took over...

    I just got my first e-cig in the mail. Joyetech 510. Help me out here, my disposables worked better than this

    I've been trying this since my cartomizers and clearomizers won't arrive for another week. How many puffs do you usually get out of 3 drops of the e juice? I know i could just try to keep puffing until i taste the burning taste, but at this point i think i've associated the burning taste with...

    The agony

    Yep it sucks. I must have checked the tracking number updates on my order last week about 20 times over 3 days.
