My husband and I both chain vape 36mg and have had 0 side effects. Well, maybe a scratchy throat once in a while. I really don't think we're getting as much nic from it as we think. I still go out and smoke once in a while and it'll give me a good buzz, almost like I haven't had any nic in a while.
Some people report side effects so that is why they say to start out low mg and go slow. Everyone is different I guess, strange stuff.

I drive at least 20 miles a day and no ill effects
ha.ha! if only i had a car...
Hi Phayah,
Me too Really think it has to do with it being absorbed through the throat and not our lungs..... I never feel like I'm getting enough either and that once in awhile analog gives me a buzz that I don't even remember getting when I origionally started smoking back in the 70's.. Try smoking a hookah like I do once a week.. I can't see for about 5-10 minutes I get such a buzz *LOL*
Ok....I chain vape.....started at 8 mg and went up to 12 mg, chain vaped that too after a few days....lol
Occ have tried 18 or 24 and it is too much, I'm afraid if I go up to this, I will chain vape on up to even more
I use cartos....go through 6-8/day, using 1 or 2 no nic at night so I can sleep. If I vape nic liquids after 9 pm I don't sleep. Been vaping since March, exclusively since first of July.
Here's my problem:
Last week I had a bad day and smoked some analogs. They tasted terrible...I hated them and tore up the rest of them. Been vaping since....but I am tired of filling 50-60 cartos a week, I am tired of the eliquid smells, the different flavors, charging batts, cleaning drip tips, etc. Smoking is so much easier LOL, but now I HATE smoking. I AM TIRED OF CHAIN VAPING!!! It has taken over my life.
I don't know what to do now. : ( HELP!

I bounce from chain vaping at home to periods where I vape very little when I'm out.
Jitteriness, ringing ears, and a general buzz are my signs of too much nic. I back off when that happens. It helps to set the Ecig down once in a while and make yourself walk to get to it. If you find that you crave vaping and you aren't having OD signs, you might be on lower nic concentrations than you need. Some people drop to 12mg and find that they chain vape. They go back to 24mg or 36mg and vape less.

Get in line to get yourself a Kaji Journeyman bottom feeder with the 18650 battery and the 6 mL bottle (I believe Kaji will still be making these). Find yourself a flavor that provides the same sensation as analogs did (for me it's Vapor Station's Texas). The batteries are like 2400 mAh so you one should get you all day and you can charge it overnight with minimal inconvenience. With the bottom feeder, no dripping is necessary...refilling the bottle is not any more involved than filling a Zippo and pulling the battery off the charger in the morning is akin to grabbing a pack out of a carton on the bookshelf.
Some people have turned this into a hobby, but it can be as simple as you want it to be.
Drip tip, bottle of juice and every two days take 30 minutes of your time to sit down with a paper towel, maybe a can of dusting compressed air and blow out your attys. It's that simple. I found carts, foam and all that jazz was NOT for me. I'm a instant gratification person too and taking 30 minutes out of your day every two days is not that bad then taking years off your life from smoking. Chain vaping isn't bad once you get into a routine. I just sit there and puff away until it tastes a little funny, add 2 drops into my drip tip and continue. Not hard at all. Hope things turn up for the better!

How in the world can you go thru 6 - 8 cartos a day? When I'm home or driving, I rarely go 5 minutes between a good draw and still only go thru 2 cartos per day.

The "air" in canned air isn't pristine. There's chemical garbage in there that can contribute to the gunk you're trying to get out (I'm telling you this only because you're a fellow dripper, and we have to save the world from the demon cartomizer)
. This is a really easy, simple, non-messy way of doing every-other-day atty maintenance, using just isopropyl alcohol:YouTube - E-Cigarette Atomizer Maintenance
Are you maybe using the mega carts that hold about 2 mL of liquid? Because the average one doesn't hold anywhere near that, I would guess more like 0.5 mL on refills, and since the "average" juice use is around 3 mL a day, that would put Bones pretty much right in that ball park.

When I refill, my cartos take between 15 to 35 drops depending on the type and how old they are. I refill 50-60 once a week and it takes about 3 hours
Then I just take six with me everyday of different flavors. One on drive to work...15 min. Two for lunch break, one driving home. Two more in the aft/early evening and prob 2 more non nic ones before bed. They last me 15 to 30 minutes of straight vaping. I vape them like a cigarette when I vape. One vape after another until they are empty.....like a pacifier!
I can't vape at work. LOL, in 5 minutes, I prob have vaped 15 times! When I vape, it comes out my nose....I'm not even sure I'm inhaling unless I make a conscious effort to do so, and then it comes out my mouth. Weird, I know...but that is how it is with me. I think most absorption is in the oral and nasal mucosa anyway, though.
I smoked Carlton 100's 1ppd .....05mg to .1mg per cig.....so 1-2mg per pack...lowest kind. I actually started with 4mg-6mg vapes, moved to 8mg, now at 12 mg except 0 mg after 9pm or I don't sleep. I really don't want to go any higher. When I first tried 8mg, it made me feel OD symptoms....now it seems weak.
Will look into a bottom feeder....do they use cartos? I have never used an atty. I am afraid dripping will be too much work for me as much as I vape.

I've been trying to figure that out definitively myself. I am toying with the idea of an Ali'i just for the convenience of not having to deal with carts, etc., but I also like to switch up my flavors off and on during the course of the day. I have a primary tobacco flavor I use most of the time, but I like to intermingle my cinnamon bun in there. I guess if you've got one flavor that you use primarily, you could keep the juice feeder filled with that and use a second "standard" unit to switch out the different flavors on.
Bones look into those bottom feeders Simple recommends. I felt the same way as you with all the filling and wiping of juice, etc. The Reo/Journeyman/Ali'i are all excellent. Get 2 18650 high drain batts a charger and some low resistance atties, I reccomend the LR 306, and you are good to go. At night all I do is change the battery, fill the bottle and I am ready for the entire next day. I carry a back-up atty and battery with me--but honestly have never used either.
Journeyman/ali'i website says they do not work with cartomizers......
but here is a review and the guy says he uses cartomizers?????????

Cartomizers hit way harder. If you are using a 3 piece at 3.7 that's your problem.
LOL...I even find myself at working grabbing at my ego, I keep it on my desk, fill up my juice b4 break, and have to remind myself that I'll freak everyone out...As I'm new, maybe it will fade off, doubt it! :O)...My new binky! BUT I drink a ton of water (another benefit) and have dropped my OTHER bad habit (besides analogs) DIET COKE....I not only had 1pad habit with the analogs(40 years), but a 2 litre bottle of DC a day(before it was TAB) as well...now it is all about the water! Still drink my coffee but THAT too has changed, I would have 4 cups, yes FOUR in the a.m. getting ready for work...now, I have one in the a.m. one in the afternoon.....so more benefits! The DOWN SIDE? FOOD TASTES BETTER! I JUST lost 45 lbs...LOL...but again, the upside weighs in MUCH better AND heck now I can breath and talking a brisk walk is SO MUCH BETTER! WOO HOO...Guilt Free Vaping!
