Am I weird or not?

[Foggyroomz]

I went lower on my nic level because I super sub-ohm @.12 a nicotine level of 12 with the lung hit vape style I have it was causing major nicotine head buzz and my juice tasted very harsh now if I build a .8 to 1.0 ohm build I can vape 14mg of nicotine and it is just as pleasurable as my 4mg @.12 so its all on what you can handle all my juices are a max VG blend be it 20/80 for some flavors or 10/90 for others. Run with what works and it isn't weird by any means, this isn't the kind of thing that has to have a standard format now with cigs that isn't an option because it is predetermined at a factory they are made in, see that's the beauty of vaping you can have it any way you want it. Nobody is going to judge you for it we're all just glad you chose to not smoke and that you won't be another lung cancer statistic seen on the news or in the Obit column of your hometown paper. Vape strong and Live long.

12 mg juice for me, no matter what I'm cooking it with.

I'm a proponent of "it's all about what works for *YOU*"

I have no right to tell you higher or lower your nic. Your body will tell you what's working

Vape on

One person dripping 1 ml a day of 24mg at 100 watts is getting the same amount of nicotine as another person dripping 4 ml a day of 6mg at 10 watts.

Everyone is different lol

I know people that drip 12mg and have 24mg in their tanks, while I cough up a storm at a mere 3mg.

I'm pretty sure if you were getting too much, you'd know it. Everyone pretty much told me that I should use 12mg nic in my tanks because I'm such a chain vaper and 18 would be too high, but 12 wasn't satisfying and 18 does, so I think it depends on the individual. The guys at my B&M who use 3 and 6 are chain vaping and making huge clouds on sub ohm coils and such.

How many ml of 18mg do you vape per day?

How many ml of 18mg do you vape per day?

I doubt you can measure how much nic someone actually gets in those terms either. If you blow big clouds, that's wasted vapor when it comes to absorbing nic.

FWIW, I normally go through 6-8 ml of 15 mg juice in my bottom-fed RDAs a day. Most of the time, I can vape as much as I want, how I want. However, I recently did a couple of trade shows where I was standing around a booth all day. There I "stealthed" my usual gear and juices, taking short hits and holding them in until there was no visible vapor left to expel. I did not get the sense that I was getting less nic than usual, but I cut my juice consumption by more than half.

I'm going to call that a ballpark of 100 to 200 mg of nicotine per day.

Closer to 100 than 200, but OK. In fact, I budget the nic I'm putting away in long term storage at 135 mg/day. But that only tells you how much nic I turn into vapor. It doesn't tell you anything about how much of that nic actually ends up being absorbed into my body. I believe how you vape has as much or more influence on that as the equipment you use to vape.

Yes;

What I am trying to establish is whether the OP is even in the ballpark.

I regularly drip 12mg of nic on my stillare v2 I used to drip 18mg but changed to 12mg because everyone says its not good to drip so high nic

If the OP drips 18mg but only vapes 2 ml a day, he isn't even in the ballpark to wonder if there's anything to be concerned about.

I've dripped 24mg in my dripper; I mean just 1 drop added on to whatever else I had in there; but I don't carry around a 24mg bottle and drip/vape 10 ml of it in a day.

 

[BlueCanary]

How many ml of 18mg do you vape per day?

Depending on what I'm doing, two to three 5ml(ish) tanks. Is that an amount that I should be concerned about? I feel fine…

ETA in a nautilus, on an MVP at about 10.5w.

5 x 20 that's about 100 mg of nicotine per day.

I have no idea how much is alot, I'm just trying to establish a ballpark kind of baseline figure.

So far, seems to me that 10 mg total per day is (obviously) nothing.
But anybody who vapes 1000 mg per day.... well no, I don't think anybody does that 2 days in a row.
What would the average look like: somewhere in the 50 to 200 mg per day, I'm thinking; or maybe more like 50 and 200 is more like the max/ high side of things.

The only thing you should care about is what works for you. Never rely on the herd that is better known as sheeple,

This is by far the most important thing to worry about, what works for YOU. When I started they said I needed 18mg, but I was chain vaping like a maniac and it made me sick as hell, even 12mg did, so I had to use 6mg just to be able to vape at all. *Now* I use between 11mg and 12mg to *prevent* so much chain vaping, but I'm calmer about the whole thing now, not freaking out about the fact that I'm not smoking.

Whatever you need to do, however you need to vape, to be happily smoke-free, that's the right way. It's different for all of us, but those who really do want to quit find that perfect way for themselves and stick with it.

Good Lord! Didn't anyone ever tell you that dripping e-juice higher than 6mg is the primary cause of Global Warming?

No, the global warming is just all the hot air from the hysterical ANTZ.
