Hi , yesterday i'v switched to vaping, but i find that taking more then 3 puffs makes me feel some buzz and to have palpitations.my question is why ? I used to smoke 20 ciggarets/day and the lady where i v buyed my e-liquid mixed an 18 mg nicotine with 40 ml base/aroma and then added more base to fill. Is this nicotine diferent from tabbaco nicotine ? Or my body needs some time to ajust ?

It can be easy to over do it with nic, try slowing down a little. But most likely you are going through withdrawals from all the other chemicals in cigs. Also now that i think about it though when juice is freshly mixed the nic does not really mix well and needs to sit. Steep and breath. Go buy a bottle of stuff that was premixed and let the new stuff sut for a week or two. Shake it every day to mix and open bottle and get fresh air in. Thus willmake it less harsh and taste better.

Depends what you're vaping it in. Some setups like subohm cloud chasing tanks will deliver a lot of vapor which means lots of nicotine, and if puffed three times in a row will certainly give you a big dose of nicotine. Other setups with lower power mouth to lung type setups will deliver less and are usually used with a higher concentration of nicotine to compensate. Either way it sounds like you're just getting too much nicotine. Try not to chain puff three or more times in a row and maybe ask the vape shop person for a lower concentration nicotine juice in place of what you currently have.

I was a Long Time PAD+ Smoker.

When I switched to e-Cigarettes, 18mg/ml did little to curve the cravings I had. So I went to 24mg/ml. Better, but still not enough. I had to go to 36mg/ml to get over the First 2 weeks.

But that was using Different Hardware at Different Wattages. And If I put those mg/ml's in what I am using nowy, I would probably Puke a Lung Up. For what I use Today, even 18mg/ml would be Way to High.

I'd suggest cutting your Nicotine down to about 9mg/ml and see how it goes. Also don't forget to Drink a Lot of Water.

And Welcome to the ECF.

I might lower your nicotine as well. Even if you vape more, that actually will help with the quitting process (seems to me a lot of people chain vape during the quitting process) so I would reduce your nic, so you aren't having unpleasant sensations and call also vape a bit more if you need to. Also, everyone reacts differently to quitting smoking so some of the sensations you are experiencing may be related to that. However, I do think lower nic would help you and the delivery device makes a large difference. I started out DL, and VERY sub0hm like 0.15 resistance and was vaping 12 m.g. of nicotine which was way too much.... In that setup.

I now vape 18 m.g. of nicotine, but in a MTL less wattage delivery system. It made all the difference in the world to me.

Good luck, and I hope things get easier as you continue vaping!

I can dilute my liquid ?

Sure.

If you bought the Same Flavor e-Liquid as what you are using right now but in 0mg/ml, you could Dilute what you have down to about Anything you want with No Flavor Lose.

And example would be Equal Parts of 18mg/ml with 0mg/ml would give you 9mg/ml.

Or One Part 18mg/ml with Two Parts 0mg/ml would give you 6mg/ml.

On a bottle says 0.02 mg per puff a tiggaret have 0.8 mg so.. 40 e cigg puffs ..
The bottle maths can't work. They don't know what device you use the juice in so it's already wrong to write such a thing on the bottle.
Then nicotine is absorbed differently by different persons so you can't math your way into converting from cigarettes to vaping in a purely theoretical way.
