You can cut it with plain Glycerin. I order 36 mg and cut it 50/50 works good Saves cash. Sorry Suppliers

I thought some 24mg. was coming in the kit, but all I got was 16mg & the whole vapor exp. was new & so I was trying to get some nic. out of it ...
... Some times I don't feel the buzz right away and keep on vapin, lol.
and after a while I put it down & got a cig. & got a good buzz, but no overdose.

Is this forum getting sadistic or what.

If you drank it it might. But although your bottle says 36mg thats not actually what youre getting on each vape. Youre going to lose a bunch of nicotine in the vaporisation process in the same way you do when burning tobacco for pipes or cigarettes. Then there will be the amount that goes into your blood stream is a lot less than what you get with cigs (less efficient delivery methods lungs vs muscus membranes) and nic will also degrade over time even within the carrier medium (PG or VG).
So you will be getting more nic than say 24mg (but again, see above), but its unlikely to make you seriously ill.
Hospital emergency rooms are not now nor have they ever been full of heavy 2 -3 pack a day smokers suffering from Nicotine Overdose; so there's your comparison :)

What I thought was funny is I recently had a few people who saw me vaping tell me that they read that E-Cigarettes don't work...meaning that they don't actually deliver any nicotine.

Oh, I could hardly keep myself from laughing at that. See, I was a very heavy smoker (40+ analogs a day for the last 4-5 years....rising amounts for 5 years prior to that). When I first started vaping I thought "I'm a heavy smoker. I need AT LEAST 24mg but probably 36mg." I got one bottle of each. I started with the 36mg and holy cow....I don't think I've caught a nicotine buzz like that since I was in high school. It was insane. I used the 36mg only sparingly and never used it up. I decided 24 was much closer to where I needed to be. As I've begun moving more towards vaping than analogs, I have realized that 24 is too potent. I have two partially used bottles of 24 left and I can say without a doubt I will be going with 18mg from now on.

I think getting the nicotine level correct is an important part in ditching analogs. When I only had 24 or 36, I had to go with Analogs for part of the night or I would end up feeling kind of terrible. Headache, jitters, etc. Now that I am primarily on 18, I can vape all day and all night without feeling buzzed.

When I discovered eCigs, I had a local vendor and all they had was 36mg in 15ml bottles for about $25 each. I had to find this 4um to gain more knowledge, and vendors.

Dizzy, slow thinking, tired, and needing to lay off of it is what I was.

I believe that an "Overdose" is the term for having "Toxic" levels.

Nic: Wiki: "40–60 mg (0.5-1.0 mg/kg) can be a lethal dosage for adult humans" this is I believe at one time before being metabolized.

I would guess that I could die if I took 1ml of 100mg in a minute, but tolerance is a gift (ever see "Thank you for Smoking"?).

Correct me if I am wrong.
