Well, if you are using the same juice, then less vapor would mean you are getting less nicotine.
But in this case less vapor would be because of an issue other than the juice, like a weak battery or whatever.

But if the juices are different, then less vapor could mean that juice has a lower VG ratio.
And in that case, less vapor would not necessarily mean less nicotine, it would just mean less vapor.

She asked if having higher nicotine would cause less vapor and thicker juice.

OK, I didn't know if you were responding to my answer. :D

I have purchased the same juice in different nicotine strength. I purchased some zero for someone to mix with their juice. Same flavor, same pg/vg mix except different strength and they were pretty much the same regarding thickness as far as I could tell. Taste wasn't the same, but as far as thickness, pretty much both the same.
 
OFF THE ANALOGS FOR GOOD! February 4th last one, it tasted really nasty! Only problem is food tastes real good! I have gained 15 pounds, still gonna die if I don't change my lifestyle. To that end I just bought a 1994 BMW K1100 LT Touring motorcycle. For those that don't know what it is, it is one of the fastest touring bikes ever built. 4.3 seconds to 60 miles per hour & 12 second quarter mile times! It is also top heavy, I dropped it on the first test drive. I might be killed on it, but I wont be found dead on my couch! I'm wearing five pound ankle weights to build leg strength to better handle the bike. I may die, but I will die LIVING! Wish me luck!

Hello Shiney and Welcome to ECF. I was a 1-2PAD smoker for over thirty years. I smoked Newports, and when I couldn't breathe much, I switched to American Spirits. I have done a lot of research on smoking, addiction, and quitting. In my life I only quit once, and it was a long time ago and not for long. I did try to do things from time to time to cut back. One thing I did learn is that cigarette companies made light cigarettes, not for our health, but for people to smoke more... just an fyi...

I tried Chantix and went temporarily nuts. I have been on Wellbutrin, and I think that has kept me from smoking even more then I normally would. When I quit successfully for a very short time I was on the gum and the patch at the same time (due to a study in Canada) I wouldn't recommend it, but it did work for me before Ecigs/PV's whatever your choice of wording is. That method was you wore the patch and if you needed the extra Oomph.. you chewed a piece of Nic gum. Most of us hard core smokers naturally know what too much nicotine feels like.

Electronic Cigarettes are doing it for me... and I was known as the smoke or die one in our group... You can read my bio for more detail. I started out at the beginning of March with a Greensmoke kit. I instantly cut down to ten, and then eight, and under five real quick. It was good, but not enough oomph. I then discovered ECF, and began like you asking questions. I was suggested a KGO, and a Provari. The KGO gives me enough throat hit etc. and I match the cartomizers up so I don't need the variable voltage... :) :) but I want it. :) Ecigs becomes a new habit in itself :) The issue is finding the right juice really. Each juice is subjective to personal taste.

Listen Neal, I don't know how old you are but I can guestimate. With your spending on cigarettes look at the KGO, or go for the gusto with the Provari. Get some cartomizers, a tank and start getting samples of juices to find your sweet spot. You can do this. If I can do this, truly anyone can believe me.

I'm still new, but I've learned a lot and if I can help in any way I will. Great success to you and welcome!


Hello All, I have been smoking for 40+ years, just went to Marlboro Light 100s as I was smoking 3+ PAD of the regular lites. I am down to 2.5 PAD with the 100s. I have quit several times, first time was with the gum, was quit for 3 months, but gained 15lbs, started again because I was afraid of getting Diabetes, too late! Last time I quit was with the hospital method, as in I was in the hospital (s) for three months. Quit and lost 100lbs at the same time! Of course it didn't stick because I was mostly unconscious, and I died, kidneys, heart and lungs quit working. I was jump started back to life and here I am. Tried quitting last Monday but consumed too much food, those scratch made chicken & dumplings were just too tasty. Started back when I realized at that rate I would be dead in six months. So here I am, with some hope that I can quit smoking with e-cigs and not die soon. I am currently spending about 370 dollars a month for cigaretts, so advice as what e-cigs to buy would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Neal

I don't like a lot of the Dekang menthols, but I do like the Dekang Tab = Dekang Tobacco. Took me awhile to realize people weren't vaping pop :)

If I was going to recommend only one good tobacco juice to anyone, it would always be DK-TAB from Dekang.
I'm not sure I've ever heard of anyone that didn't like it.

Valley Vapor has a 10ml bottle for $4.75 and the shipping is extremely reasonable...
DK Tab - 24mg DK-Tab E-liquid [DktH10] - $4.75 : Valley Vapor, Personal Vaporizers and Accessories

For less than $2.00 shipping you don't feel like you have to buy more stuff to go with it.

I was 1-2 PAD menthol smoker. I started with the standard 510 setup from Cignot and upgraded slowly ver the last 2 years. I quit in only three days and have been off them totally. I currently use an eGo-C type A and Joyetech PG fluid from Cignot. This is the first setup I have had that is almost no maintenance and no drips/leaking. I refill a tank with a quick shot from the 10ml bottle in my pocket and keep going for another few hours. 650mAh passthrough battery lasts almost all day and it charges from any mini usb cord (pc, phone charger, etc). I know i sound like a commercial, but I really like this setup, and i want to give anyone still searching for a PV to buy the best info I have.

I have heard from knowledgeable sources that DK-TAB stands for Dekang Turkish American Blend.
I have also head from knowledgeable sources that DK-TAB stands for Dark Tobacco.

Dekang does have a blend named Tobacco, and that is not the same as the DK-TAB.
I have never tried the Dekang Tobacco, so not sure how they differ.

You can get a 10ml bottle at Valley Vapor for $4.75 and their shipping (less that $2.00) is very reasonable.
