Another vaping to quit dipping thread!

The only person that can tell you what nicotine strength to use is YOU. There are a lot of factors to consider. The reason the some users relapse after trying vape products is because the proper nicotine strength wasn't used. If the nicotine content is lower than what they were used to it appears to them that vaping doesn't satisfy their craving.

If you consider the general brand of snus authentic Swedish, then I've tried it. I tried the portions (pouches) in my upper lip, as is the "proper" way. Way too much sensation in the nasal cavity and made me feel weird. Not really nicotine high/drunk, just weird. So I started using them as regular dip (lower lip and cheek), took too many to get the mouth feel enjoyment, so the can didn't last long at all. I've tried no nic, tobacco free herbal dip that is not too bad, and when I use it I don't crave nicotine, but I hate the cleanup afterward, since they add corn silk and other stringy material.

Not a good idea to use snus in the lower lip as you will get to much juice. Something to keep in mind is that snus is not dip. Trying to get the same feel as dip, or expecting it to be like dip not going to work. You have to take it on it's own terms. Many people have made the switch and there is always a transition period. Use as directed and give it some time for you to adjust. Dip also tends to be on the sweet side, while Swedish snus (not the American brands) tend towards salty. You might want to try some loose while you are at it.

Both snus and dip have vanishingly low risk, at least equal to vaping.

If you do want to switch to vaping there is no reason you have to make a sudden all or nothing switch. Just take it slow and easy. Simply experiment with different vaping methods and set ups and see what works for you. The health risk for dipping is so low you are really not doing any harm by doing both for awhile. Vaping is so individual I would take with extreme skepticism anyone who claims to know what is best for you.

Chewed Skoal for 35 years. Quit cold 3 months ago by vaping. Never having smoked, I found mtl vaping to be much better for me than chasing clouds. I found 12 mg to work well, and I use an Aspire Nautilus tank with 1.8 ohm coils. You didn't get as much nicotine as you think by dipping, unless you went through more than a can a day. Good luck work quiting. If this old man could do it,i know you can!

As long as you're willing to give it a bit of trial and error time, I'm sure you can find a setup that works for you. You don't necessarily need a high nic level. A lot of us now, even new vapers use 3, 6, and 12 mg. With the more efficient tech of today, you won't necessarily need to be cranking out a 24 mg juice. So you can always try a lower mg juice. If it works it works.

Also, throat hit is more than nicotine. Yes, the nicotine plays a big role, but that's not all there is to it. As someone who absolutely adores a good, strong, throat hit I've had to learn this because not all juices of the same mg hit the same!

If you're trying to mellow that throat hit, I'd go for a high VG juice, as opposed to PG. PG carries the throat hit effect of the nicotine in a much stronger way than VG.

Also, I have no idea why this is, but some flavors mute the throat hit quite strongly. I've found that anything creamy, or what one might consider a mild fruit favor (like melon), mutes throat hit. And for some reason apple. Apple flavors mean no throat hit for me.

Just work on finding a high VG juice, with a flavoring that doesn't carry a lot of throat hit. Maybe start yourself at a 6 mg juice, maybe a dessert or melon flavor? And see how it feels?

If all else fails you could just try not inhaling. The mouth is a sensitive mucous membrane, and there's no reason to believe you won't absorb at least some nicotine just from your mouth.
