I've been trying to cut down on my vaping, I vape 24mg. I want to eventually all together quit. Many reasons, my asthma is starting to come back, which is odd because in the first few months it was nonexistant, but I attribute it to allergies and such of this time of year. I've been having some tightness in my chest. When I first started vaping, I never had any motivation to stop, but I now see the error in my ways. I'm a criminal justice major, and lately I have been getting lazy with my daily gym workouts. Lately I can't even run past 5 miles on the treadmill. Deff got to be in tip top shape for the physical agility testing next year.

Anyhow, can anyone tell me why the vapor production decreases as you start to lower yourself down? I love love love the vapor at 24, and tis the main reason I vape it, also because I am used to all the 24mg flavors.

The only time I get a tight chest is vaping home added VG juice (cutting down with generic VG)

So, if thats maybe a factor, try grabbing some PG to cut with.

Hope you find what ur looking for and also, if I cut down nic with mainl PG n add just a **tad** of VG the vapor seems plentiful again w/out tight chest. Good luck with all! :)

24mg would knock me backwards..but I didn't see a big diff in vapor from 18mg to 11mg. I do want to stop vaping at some point. So I vape 11mg, 6/8 mg and 0nic. I mix them up all the time and really make an effort to vape low nic at night.
The good thing is that I can go all day without having to vape if I want to. A year ago and hour or two with out an analog would have sent me up a wall!
I just wish I didn't enjoy vaping so much!

I'm going to try to start doing what your doing, makes sense! I've seen in other parts of the forum some people just stop vaping no problem what so ever without even trying! Vaping is so much fun! I don't know how I'll ever be able to give it up, unless forced to by our wonderful government, but I have to at least try:p.

Hmm, that's strange... I vape 11-18 and I just tried 24... I have less vapor (obviously more TH) with the 24. Possibly a mental thing? Hitting it differently?

Yep, you got it, I'm mental :D:D Maybe it's the throat hit aspect of it, I love that throat hit, makes me happy

MaryKay, you made me laugh so hard. I vape 11, 8 and 4. I just ordered 18 mg to see how I would do with higher nic level...Knocked my over backwards! My heart started pounding! Three puffs, I was finished.

Kimmy, I checked right now, as I alternate three different strengths, and honestly, I don't see any significant difference in vapor production. Just TH, and nic level. I honestly think you somehow perceive the decrease in strength with decrease in vapor.

Good luck with your attempts to go down in nic strengths. And listen to MaryKay, she knows...

There were people in my academy class who could probably smoke while they were running. They'd light up every chance they got. Me, there's no way I could have done that. I had to quit a few months before. I wonder if I would have vaped, had it been around back then. I used nicotine gum. Chewed it for 3 years, then went back to butts. :mad:

Anyham..I haven't steady-vaped anything higher than 11mg. I am a steady 8mg now. I get tons of vapor!! And now the premium liquid...although the only one I've tried so far is the Dunhall...but there is a tremendous amount of vapor production! I'm hoping all the premium liquids are like that, as I too feel a bit heavy chested when I add my own rite-aid vg to liquids, and would rather not have to do it anymore.

Good luck with your CJ endeavors Kimmy! :)

Thanks for the good luck wishes! The hiring process scares the hell out of me!

It could be the fact I was using old cartos, I deff have to try the premiums at that mg. I only bought lower mg juice just to have it incase of any kind of ban happening, tried some tonight. So far I am loving it, that tightness in my chest is fading away. :D But all the premiums I have are all at 24 mg, looks like it's time to start ordering lower mg stuff for now on! :cool:

Perez-uzza to this day
I vape V4L stuff at 18 and 24 also, and have asthma also - seems to kick in at night if I've been vaping a lot. Vaping seems to reduce the effectiveness of my inhaler, but Singulair works great for me so I only need the inhaler if I forgot the Singulair pill for a day or two. Also, if you have any asthma you absolutely must always keep the cartos wet so you never vape filler, but I've seen you around enough to guess you know how to use a cartomizer w/o my input.

Anyway, I thought I'd point out this interesting product if you are looking at lower mg (this stuff is only available in 12mg):



The Watermelon Lung is not bad, not quite as good as V4L imo, but pretty good as Watermelon flavors go. I'd have to stop the Singulair and only vape Lung Juice to vouch for if it was effective for asthma...and then I wouldn't know if it was the cut to 12mg or the Lung Juice that was helping, so I can't vouch for this stuff. But it is an interesting product anyway.

I'd like to see more companies considering a line like this, maybe with some lobelia (aka indian tobacco, aka pukeweed lol) in it. Indian tobacco

Uzzaperez, I think this juice does contain Lobelia (misspelled in the ingredients list). I saw it earlier today and I'm thinking about ordering some. How does it vape?
