75vg 25pg and 40mg nicotine

[ericbnc]

I have plenty of retail 36mg juices and DIY 36mg 100% PG and 100% VG for mixing - I like it fine and don't get a buzz, just a nice throat hit.

Hello Superben and welcome to the forum.
Glad you found your right level of nic but at that concentration watch out for the signs of nicotine poisoning. Dizziness, headache, nausea to name a few.
Good luck to you.

I only took up vaping 3 weeks ago and was previously a smoker of 16mg at about 40 per day, I have some 36mg... 24mg .. 18 mg and switch switch between them thru' the day when I need something stronger to keep me from thinking about cigs, it's worked so far and haven't had a ciggie since my first vape ..... after trying all the 'approved' methods of quitting and failing ... I'm stoked... just swapped a really bad habit for a healthier ( and cheaper, in the long run) alternative

Just thought I would add a little more to the conversation regarding nicotine level. OP, what is your underlying reason when you originally said you needed a lot of nicotine? We know that the tobacco industry is heavily regulated and the typical cigarette contains between 1 and 1.5mg of nicotine. That makes 20-30mg per pack. If you smoked the whole pack, realizing that only 10% of the nicotine in the cigarette is actually absorbed, that means out of a pack of cigarettes you are absorbing between 2 and 3mg of nicotine. At 18mg e-liquid strength, while there are no hard-and-fast numbers like there are for cigarettes (if there are, someone please point me to them!), my educated guess would be 3-5% of the nicotine in e-liquid is absorbed. At 5%, that means a 0.9mg/ml nic is absorbed, so a 3ml tankful of 18mg e-liquid yields the same nic absorption as a pack of cigarettes.

I think your info on cigs may be off. From what I've read most cigarettes contain around 10-12 mg nicotine, and deliver about 10% of that. So each cigarette delivers around 1 mg, but actually contains a lot more. I can't cite a specific reference, but I looked this up a while ago and found that information in several different places. Maybe I'm wrong, but I just wanted to throw that out there.

As for the 40 mg/ml, that's pretty strong, although the stronger Njoy disposables are supposed to have 45 mg. I've tried them, and they didn't knock my socks off or anything. Like a pp said, I didn't vape away on them for long though, as they are expensive. I was just trying them out to see if I'd recommend them to someone interested in vaping. I don't know. If you try it, do be careful!

ETA: found a reference: http://tobaccocontrol.bmj.com/content/10/2/181.full.pdf scroll down to bottom of table 2 for domestic cigarettes.

I agree. I think my math got a step ahead of my writing and wound up off by a power of ten, LOL.

it literally would feel like getting hit by a truck lol

I can't imagine vaping 40mg unless I'd been a 2+pack a day smoker

I guess I'm just a wuss, I smoked marl lights for years, roughly pack plus a day...I messed up and ordered .6 nic for a couple of flavors before I re-ordered at my usual 1.2...

The 1.2 seems to hit me a lot harder than it used too. Love the throat hit though.
