Amount of nicotine in liquid

[anfernio]

I've only recently started vaping, and I love it. I'm still very unfamiliar with how everything works and I wanted someone's opinion about the e-liquids.

I ordered a liquid with my first e-cig and had been using only that for the past week until a new one arrived in the mail today. BTW, this is week 2 for me without smoking an analogue!

I was vaping with a 24mg nic e-liquid for the first week, and I was craving cigarettes like I had quit cold turkey. I basically toughed it out and had to throw away all of my cigarettes to stop myself from smoking.

So I got some new liquid in the mail today from a different company. I had just tried the new one, and I have to say, I feel like I'm stoned right now as if I haven't had any nicotine at all this whole time. It's supposed to be the same nicotine amount, 24mg, but this seems unusual.

I was wondering what other people's opinions were about this. Has anybody else had this happen? Am I just crazy or could I have possibly had a bottle with no nicotine?

I can't say I've had that issue.

I suppose it is possible the first bottle you had was actually 0 nic or low nic and since you're new to vaping you didn't know the difference. What are the two juices you have tried?

Honestly though, that's why I make my own juice. I know exactly what and how much is in it.

I've wondered about this myself, some 24mg seems more potent than others to me.

Could just be a mistake while mixing, or it could be a disreputable vendor trying to make a little extra profit. (Or I could be just full of it and "think" some are weaker than others.)

It could have been a bad batch, sat on the shelf too long or any number of mixups along the supply chain. Stick with what works. Buy from reputable vendors. Perhaps you can contact the vendor of the "dud juice" and tell them your experience, they might (should) make it right. Keep on vaping and congrats on your success!

Do you notice a substantial difference in the throat hit?

24mg will generally have a lot harder TH than a lower nic juice.

The first one was made by Dekang. I don't know if that means anything. I don't blame anybody for it and it's probably my fault. I got 3 new flavors in the mail today and I was refilling some cartomizers. I probably spilled some on me and it got into my blood system. If anything, I'm mad because I didn't order more of that Dekang flavor, it was blueberry. I love that stuff and I'm half way done with the bottle. I ordered pineapple, watermelon, and apple/cinnamon/cranberry. So far I don't like the apple combo, and the watermelon is just so-so. Haven't tried the pineapple yet. These 3 new ones are from Nobacco(I think that's the name).

I can't really tell a difference in TH. I'm only a week into vaping and I'm sure that after 12 years of smoking has probably killed any sense of feeling in my throat/lungs.
