Am i vaping too much?

[Wheelin247]

PG and VG may slowly degrade, but both are easily available and cheap. Personally, I only keep liter amounts of both around as I can get more with free shipping on Amazon. Nic should go in the freezer, preferably in glass bottles. Keep a small amount out for your usual mixing needs. When the little mixing bottle is empty, pull on of your larger glass bottles out, refill, and return the larger bottle to the freezer. Nic should last many years if kept cold.

As for bottle size, I'll buy a liter at a time and split it up into 250 ml glass bottles for long term storage in the freezer.

I have 1 large glass bottle then a bunch of smaller glass bottles that I put my nic in. That way when you pull them out of the freezer (wait till they are completely defrosted because if you open them before the are room temp it will suck the moisture out of the air and cause it to degrade faster (FYI I live in Florida where we have high humidity). When I'm finished or close to finished with a bottle of nic I will pull a small 30ml out of the freezer and wait till it's room temp then use while sitting my used bottle to the side so when all of my small bottles are empty I will then pull the larger bottle out, defrost then fill all the small bottles and return them all to the freezer.

I've actually seen people do that in YouTube videos and always wondered.
Firstly the vape must be too hot.
Second how are they able to hold so much?
Third It must hurt the throat considering the throat hit.

I like a hot vape and I use mostly mech mods and build coils to suit my vaping. I like a hot dense vape and when I run 8.4V on a series mod and have a dual coil build at .35 I'm running at 24V, that's 201.6W. If I'm using a regulated mod I vape between 150W and 220W depending on the coil build I have in the atty and the juice I'm vaping on. I vape all my flavors at 4mg nic so it's not high. It doesn't bother my throats because the throat hit is low at 4mg nic and I'm vaping max VG (one of my juices I have it at 91/9 VG/PG ratio. The more VG the thicker the juice the less the throat hit and the bigger the clouds.

That's a good tip.
Will keep that in mind while working with that stuff.

Not a stupid question at all I don't think there is any difference between buying 75mg/ml instead of 100mg/ml except for the strength. You may want to buy a small sample of it first and try it before investing in a stockpile of it. I tried several different ones before I invested in my stock from RTS. It had the best non-flavor for me.

Okay. Thanks for the input.

Nothing wrong with vaping alot, I do

Wow. 200watts.
I haven't even seen a mod in real life that goes that high [emoji14]

 

[Skold]

Wow, I vape 40w-80w. I've never vaped above that, even though some of my coils can hit 150w I never have gone that high. I would seriously die hahahaha

I have an RX200s and the RX300 that will go up to 300W but when using those like I said I'm usually between 150W and 220W. With my mech mods and the u regulated mods I build with a fresh set of cells I'm around the 200+W range. That's where I like my vape.

Like @Skold mentioned y'all don't vape that high but if I was to try and vape at 30W- 50W it would feel like I was vaping nothing. I used to vape at 70W when I first started vaping sub-ohm but then I got the mods that went higher wattage and tried it and found out that I like the vape A LOT better than I did at 70W-100W. I go through a lot more juice. That's why I had to get this beast of a tank (Voltrove 41mm RTA sitting on the HOG V3). The tank holds 20ml+ of juice so it will last me all day unless I'm off work and chain vaping then I will go through it and have to fill it up again in the evening.

Ok, for some reason Tapatalk isn't allowing me to add a pic of the Voltrove on the HOG. I even went to the ECF on safari and tried to add the pic and it's saying it's too large (which has never happened on here ever! ::mad face:

Here is the pic of the HOG and the Voltrove. I ended up cropping the pic and it allowed me to add it. Here it is.

I vape 6mg 80VG/10PG / 5% water / 5% flavours.
- RTA's, RDA's, RDTA's all day every day (not much @ work).
- Tubes (18350, 18650, rechargeable), boxes only @ home.

I vape 6mg 85% VG / 10% water / 5% flavours.
- RTA's, RDA's, RDTA's all day every day (not much @ work).
- Tubes (18350, 18650, rechargeable), boxes only @ home.

Is it safe to vape on water?
I think i remember reading somewhere that it's not safe to add water to the flavors. Correct me if I'm wrong please.

Should be safe. The reason doing it is because the Inawera VG, that I use, is 10% water.

It's not safe to vape straight water, but a couple drops isn't going to hurt. 10% water is a bit higher than I would want, that has to be a thin juice...why not use a higher pg % instead?

I haven't done any research on using water in my juice and I would t suggest it but that's just my opinion. I have my flavors which are PG based and my VG is 100% pure vegetable glycerin. I vape max VG which is usually close to 80/20 VG/PG and on one of my juices it's 91/9 VG/PG.

Should be? Shouldn't you know if it is good or bad before you vape it?

He has 10% water in his juice and 10% water in the VG so he is vaping more than just 10% water. Like in my comment, I wouldn't vape it but I haven't done any research on it either and he says in his answer to the OP that "it should be because his VG is 10%". I'm sorry but if my VG is 10% water first off I wouldn't buy it and second I wouldn't be adding more water to my juice but that's just me. To each his own I guess.

Vaping water is safe as long as it's not super heated steam. We breathe in water all day long. I would think if you use too much water to thin a juice for vaping, you'd end up flooding the coil and maybe even leaking if the viscosity is sufficiently lowered, but other than risk dripping stuff everywhere it's hard to see a safety issue.

Never thought about it in the fact that we inhale water everyday (humidity and when it's raining). IMHO I wouldn't do it. I like the thickness and flavor of my juice to thin it down with water. Just hope he is using distilled water and not tap water with fluoride and chlorine.

I find it too harsh if I go above 80 watts an don't get a long draw as I would with lower wattages.

What mg nic are you using and what is the VG/PG ratio?
