If you only smoked around 10 to 15 cigarettes a day, I'd say 3mg nic is more suitable for your needs. I was a 2 pack a day smoker for over 20 years and started out at 12 and it was a little too much. I dropped down to 6 then on down to 3mg. I chain vape all day long, every day. Some people are more sensitive than others.
Good luck!
Good luck!
1.5 ohms, 10 w and 3.8 v... Not sure what tank/atomiser it is. And yeah... I'm sure they are overpriced but a friend gave it to me so I can't complain!The Curve is what everyone else knows as the iStick but what tank/atomiser are you using?
Also, what is the resistance in ohms (Ω) of the coil in the tank and how much power (watts) are you putting through the device?
Oh, one other thing - totally wicked are way overpriced
Haha it's all good. Hope you get it figured out on your Nic levels!Ooops
Another thought about cravings--there are many more chemicals in cigarettes than just nicotine, and your brain will miss those for a while, even when you're getting enough nicotine. After a while (maybe even a year) those cravings will lessen to become just random thoughts occasionally.
I'm smoke-free almost 2 1/2 years now, and a couple of weeks ago, I was thinking it might be nice to have a cigarette. I had passing thoughts like that for several days just out of the blue. Fortunately, I still remember coughing up a lung every morning and how nasty they really taste and smell.

I've been vaping for 4 years now, and after I first started vaping, at around 6 months in I decided to try a cigarette just for old time sake... it was the nastiest taste. I smoked a few draws and put it out. Cigarette makers put a chemical in cigarettes that has a numbing effect. It's so you can take deeper draws into your lungs. Once we've been off them and vaping for a while, our taste and lungs wake up... and you will really taste what a cigarette tastes like... Yucky! You won't want one after you taste what I did.
I smoked a PAD for 27 years. Started on 24mg, use 17mg as my ADV currently.
Take two or three puffs an hour on average.
I spaced the fact I have a 18mg juice left, thought I only had 12mg and was vaping more than usual one night, think it was on the 3rd refill of the nautilus mini when the nauseous hit me like a ton of bricks, realized my mistake and stopped vaping for the rest of the night, but the nauseous stuck with me for like 4 or 5 hours, never made that mistake again.
Hi. I'm a new vaper (only really started giving it a chance about a week ago). I'm really getting into it now and starting to enjoy it, but I'm a little concerned about just how much nicotine I'm consuming.
A few hours ago, I chain vaped for maybe only 10 minutes (probably the same amount of drags as a regular cig) before feeling violently nauseous and feverish - was pretty scary! I never had that feeling before when I used to chain smoke regular cigarettes. Are you only meant to take a few drags of the vape at a time or something?
Either way, the feeling passed after about 20 minutes but is not something I want to experience again and has made me a little nervous to have a long vape again. Is this common when getting used to vaping? Anyone else had a similar experience at the start? All responses welcome! Thank you
(By the way I am vaping at 6mg and used to smoke between 10-15 Camel/Marlboro Lights a day).
nicotine milligram strength and wattage go together.
somebody who vapes 6mg at 15 watts will need to drop to 3mg on a 30 watt setup.
on ego sized setups which operate at about 5 watts people often vape at 18 to 24mg.
when you first switch from smoking to vaping, it's useful to have 2 setups, one with high strength nic for an occasional puff, and a lower strength more regular use.
I personally think, that as time goes on with vaporizers, your tolerance goes way down. With the new efficient devices, it's not hard to get too much of a buzz. I started at 24 mg, and am down to 3 mg. I still get a little bit of nausea if I vape too much on a dripper or sub-ohm tank. Just keep track of what you have been vaping when you feel a little woozy. I just found a site that sells 1.5 mg and will be ordering that to supplement my DIY at 3 mg. Eventually my goal is to get down to 1 mg, or .5 mg. I've tried 0 nic, and it just doesn't have that little bit of kick I need.
Nic tolerance is a personal thing. Some can take 36mg and chain vape all day, others can't handle 6mg for even a little while.
It can be a while till you get to know your body's needs and your psych needs.
I tend to get very stressed and will start to chain vape. I keep a few devices at my side with varying amounts of nic. I keep one dripper atty always with 12mg NET tobacco liquid, I puff a few on that with my coffee or when I am not fully awake. Then itsRTAs filled 3mg and 0 nic. The 0 nic is for when Im stressed , its for when my hand and mind needs to be puffing away non-stop. I will many times go back and forth from the 3mg to the 0.
Might be a good idea to have one with the lower nic and one with a higher nic to give you that little extra when needed.

Exactly. And styles matter too..Chain vaping 3mg all day long vs 24 mg for a few tootle puffs an hour, can come out to close to the same daily nic intake with a lot less juice for the 24 mg Nic. High power lower Nic, low power high Nic, either way we tend to vape how much we want-need until we purposely cut back and that varies from person to person.
Vaping is very different from smoking.
The first Three Months were Hell for me after I made the switch to fulltime vaping, after Two Years of dual use.
Smoke is dry. Vapor is not. Combine that extra moisture with the crud from Forty-plus Years of smoking and what you get is swamp lung. It was not pretty.
Eventually, my lungs cleared out, my body acclimatized to vaping, and the swamp lung disappeared.
The only thing I can tell you is, it gets better. Just keep vaping, even if you continue to smoke. Stick with it.
It will pay off in the end.

That's true... and it actually makes you realise how many thousands of other nasty chemicals (hundreds of which we probably don't even know) you're putting into your body and getting addicted to as well. Scary really!
Thanks for this and sorry to hear you had a hard time in the beginning. Did you consciously make that switch to fulltime vaping or the more you vaped the less you wanted regular cigs?
Yeah... after just 2 weeks I'm beginning to figure it out. Do you by any chance know of any good sites in the UK to buy liquid/vapes? Thanks!
