E-Liquid.

[Satans_Monkey]

What's the deal with e-liquid is 16mg the same as a 16mg packet of say Winfield Reds cause I've seen 48mg e-liquid and I'm a little confused cause that seems a little strong considering I get head spins when I occasionally smoke White Ox.

Sorry I ranted there for a sec, so yeah in short, is the mg of the liquid the same as the mg from tailors.

 

[FadenQ]

There’s probably better places to discuss these things, but in short: 1mg = 1mg.
Therefore 1 ml of 16mg/ml juice = 16 analogues @ 1mg per analogue.

The other chemicals in analogues contribute to the head spins, and you don’t get them when you vape. That is one of the reasons why most/some people don’t find vaping that satisfactory at first.

 

[Satans_Monkey]

So in order to satisfy my 16mg an analogue habit what mg of liquid should I order

 

[FadenQ]

You don’t have a 16mg an analogue habit unless you eat them. You probably saw the rating for tar or something.

 

[Satans_Monkey]

Oh I think I've gotten muddled... Winfield Reds are 16mg of tar and 1.6mg of nicotine? Since they took the mg off the cigarette packets I've forgotten it's not 16mg of nicotine. So 16mg liquid should appease the cravings? Sorry about the questions I just want to get it right the first time.

I would suggest going for the middle of the range 14 to 18mg variety, and stick to it for two weeks or so. Weaning yourself onto vaping is somewhat uncomfortable and unsatisfying in the beginning anyway. Once you are used to it, it is easier to move onto higher nic content than lower nic content. I stepped into the high nic turd a while ago and am unable to get back to the lower concentrations. I worked in an environment for a few weeks where I could only get a vape in once or twice a day and decided to make it count by using very high concentrations of nic. Now I just don’t get anything from my 8mg and 18mg juices.

Don’t bother with getting it right the first time. I’ve been vaping (and cheating) for 2 and a half years, and I still haven’t found that perfect combo that always works for me. One week I can’t stand tobacco flavours and the next they are the only ones that works for me. When I’m driving the convenience of cartos can’t be beaten (haven't tried all the tank stuff yet), but when I’m at home I just love my LR attys with drip-tips. A few months from now you’ll look at your drawer/box full of vaping related stuff and feel the strong urge to order some more.

 

[Satans_Monkey]

Thanks for that i can usually smoke anywhere from 10mg to 16mg but I prefer 16s.

 

[getpecked]

I would vape at least 24mg juice. I used to smoke 12mg peter jacksons but I vape 24mg now or sometimes 32mg.

 

[Satans_Monkey]

I'm looking for basically the bare minimum to keep the craving monsters at bay and looking at eventually stopping smoking and possibly vaping id like the option to go up and down as I choose. So I'm looking at an 18mg liquid to be sure. What mg did you start on when you started vaping and how did you get to 24mg?

 

[MusicBox]

I used to smoke 40-50 unfiltered rollies a day (for 40 years). Stopped after my first e-cig. I tried a range of strengths but 18mg was right for me. I am now on 12mg.
It's not just the strength of the cigarette but how you smoked it.
Some people drag the guts out of a ... (oops, glad this is the Aussie forum) and will probably need a higher strength.

18 sounds about right.

 

[Ravenscroft]

I started on 18mg, but doubled to 36mg to get me off the rollies. I then went to 24mg and I am staying for awhile.

How long would 10ml's of liquid last each of you and how much did you smoke before? I've read from 4 days to 2 weeks but the general consensus to be about a week, so if I order the 110ml it should last just under three months (a 50g bag of Stockman Red tobacco with a filter lasts almost a fortnight).

 

[Ravenscroft]

I do 30ml of 24mg in 7 to 10 days.

[MusicBox]

10ml of 12mg lasts me 2-3 days

 

[Satans_Monkey]

Hmmm so maybe 110ml might not last as long as I thought...

 

[MusicBox]

It will last longer if you buy something that you hate the taste of

 

[Satans_Monkey]

Hmm maybe I should taken the dog droppings flavour instead of butterscotch... Showed my younger sister some of the liquid choices and she came across vitamin c e-liquid her response was "I can smoke my way out of a cold!" this stirred some confusion in her fiancee...

I used to go through 1 1/2 packs of rollies every 2 days. I got 24mg liquid and go through around 3ml a day. I haven't touched an analogue since I got my kit almost 7 months ago and haven't even felt like it.

Love my Vape
