Un-advisable ONLY if it bothers you.

Aside from that perfectly safe.

Always seems to be the same tired old knee-jerk responses to this question to the effect that 36mg is too high, it'll make you speak in tongues and see Gawd in negative.

Not True.

While the number of folks that need and or enjoy the higher nicotine levels is apparently in the minority, it is still a significant number.
I would never recommend 36mg to a new vaper as a starting level mind you.
Rather something to work up to as the individual learns to assess their specific needs.

It would be nice if responses to questions like this were answered with the concept in mind that everyone processes nicotine differently.
An individuals personal experience and preference equates to a truism for that individual alone and should not be presented as an authoritative answer.

Please.

mini rant over, carry on....

Ha! Mine had to have the purple butterfly wrap on her provari so I wouldn't steal it. Now she has that, my black provari and my grand/rm2.

She's like vape royalty showing off the goodies at work all the time.

Though I must admit I am grateful all i have to do is build a coil every couple months. The one thing she's reluctant to do.

Ok fellas...I'm a relative noob but y'all got me really confused. Why the heck are you trying to raise your nic level? Trying to get high? Read alot of y'alls posts and never seen this side. Why would anyone work to increase the nic level they can handle. Am I missing something?

I smoked 40-50 hand rolled unfiltered a day, I started at 18mg....it was a bit tough... I almost moved up to 24mg in that first month... BUT i held my sanity together, alienated strangers and finally adjusted. Now half a year later I mostly am using 12mg and some 6mg (for when I use a dripper)

Is 36mg too strong? Really depends on you. I think I could of used 36mg in my mornings when I first quit, but it would of been WAY too much for me at night. Just pay attention to your body, if your resting heart beat starts to get faster than normal or you show signs of sleeplessness at night... consider dialing the nic levels down a bit.

Like I said joe, a major consideration that is continually forgotten is that everyone's body processes nicotine differently. Everyone's needs are personal and different in many ways.

Higher nicotine levels aren't sought for getting high. I personally don't think there is such a thing as a nicotine "high" really.

Most of the vapers here at ECF, elsewhere, are vaping in order to stop smoking.
Once equipment considerations, power, wick and wire, be it starter kit or homemade gear are found that work for a given individual, and the psychological factors of ritual and hand to mouth satisfaction are accounted for, we have the nicotine component.

If it takes a person nothing more than 3mg or 6mg liquid to satisfy the cravings great.
If it takes 24mg or 36mg, great.

The point is not to push the limits of what you can handle, the point is to find what works for you.

Hope that helps a little (-:

ETA: I had posted earlier
"I would never recommend 36mg to a new vaper as a starting level mind you.

Would have been p'raps better worded:
"Rather, 36mg would be something to work up to if needs be as the individual learns to assess their specific needs."

Yes.

You're missing everything. [emoji12]

I don't think anybody tries to raise their tolerance to total intake. For example, I'm not taking any more nic than before. I'm just able to put the pv down, satiate my needs and alleviate my stress headaches and sinus issues.

You just don't want to jump in feet first and find out its too much and all you have is high nic. Start low. Vape like the dickens. Increase nic and/or gear effectiveness until you're satiated. If you have to cheat at first at least you're cutting down on your smoking.

I doubt anyone needs 36mg. Smoked 47 years and been there done that.
Your smoking time line and my nic level are completely unrelated. *I* have been there, done that for the topic at hand. For me it was far from enough. For you it's obviously too much. We're different. I'm okay with that. ;)

It's apparent here that some folks vape for vaping's sake, some do it for a nic rush (as it were), and some do it as a means of stopping the smoke habit. Some do it for any combination of those, I suspect. I picked it up so that I could stop smoking 2+ pad, and started with 24 mg. Now down to 12mg after 3 months. Eventually I will give it all up. Call me a quitter if you will, but that's my goal. To be unencumbered by my propensity to this particular addiction, and by the regulatory nutcases that are making the rules for the future.
Vape and be well,
Mark

You do realize that's incorrect and insulting, don't you?

I tried to quit years ago with the patch.
Then two patches.
Then two patches and gum.
Still smoked upwards of 4 packs a day through the whole ordeal.
Never got a nic rush through that.

Vaping doesn't come close even the way I do it.

Being the highest nic, lowest resistance vaper posting here, I can assure anyone vaping less in either category doesn't need the slightest interest in getting a rush to get there.

Each person is different.

When I started I tried 18, then 24 but still wasn't scratching the itch that made smoking my addiction - 36mg helped get me over the hump - this was using a carto tank and then clearo tank on an ego. Nothing high performance about that set up from a couple years ago. 24 and 18 are fine now for relaxing with a good vape, don't want to quit vaping so I can see no reason for me to taper off.
