Oh no! How could you guess that by my text?

Aaaayup, I'm drain bamaged alright. Geeze, no need to go all hating on the mentally challenged. * chuckling *

In all seriousness a congenital condition does unsettle my brain chemicals. Am okay, just a tad off kilter. The nicotine helps.

BTW - How do you like your Tron?

I do not vape the Ego Ones or the Tron but I do maintain them. The Tron is far better than the eGo One and the eGo One Mega. They vape the very same but the Tron has zero leakage out the bottom. vaping it for a week and a half now and zero signs of juice under the tank. Much nicer window to see the level of juice. Much better design but I would say it vapes the very same. Wife likes the neon red and the VTC to match. CHEERS!

20mls of 6mg/ml nic in what time period?

If it's a buzz you're chasing, I don't know what to tell you, I've never got nor would want a buzz from vaping.
Reduce cigarette cravings, yes, buzz, no.

You can try raising your nic % to say 12mg/ml nic with your .5Ω.

That buzz you feel from smoking cigarettes is mostly caused by a lack of oxygen getting to your brain, a small part of it comes from the toxins & carcinogens in tobacco smoke.

Cool.

I liked the Flavor from the eGo One atomizers. But the Tiny Slit e-Liquid viewing Windows were Terrible. And Very Difficult to see thru using a Clear e-Liquid.

I Modified a Kamry X6 Plus Atomizer's 510 Center Pin so I could have a Clear Glass Tank. And run eGo One Coil Heads in it.

In fact cigs gave me a palpabale buzz especially with caffe. It felt very airy and powerfull. Instant hammer effect of increased sense of well beeing
This is not reached with vaping , even sub coil 0.5 ohm
I would say vapers at 0.5 ohm and 6mg nicotin are MUCH MUCH more weaker than a light LM blue cigarette
If you want the double whammy of nicotine and caeffeine to be REALY felt you have to use analog cigarettes

But that sensation is really not the nicotine, or only partially from the nicotine; mostly it's from all the other chemicals reinforcing a) nicotine's effect, and b) the speed of nicotine's effect -- mostly the speed of it; when they throw all the chemicals in cigarette smoke at your brain as fast as the lungs do, there definitely is a sensation -- you can still get dizzy from vaping a high level of nicotine, but you don't get the other chemicals, and you don't get the near-immediate uptake, so no... no buzz.

Looks like a good tank. Yes the slots are horrible especially on a cloudy day. LOL eGo One coils are absolutely my favorite ones to rebuild. Just glad I found something my wife likes better than the Kanger duel coil minis on 20 watt Isticks. Got her moved to TC and eGo One tanks and she likes it. CHEERS!

I always keep one around for emergencies or when I have to fly as they don't leak as the pressure changes on take off and landing IMHO. I use thinner clearer juices with them and each week empty then, fill them with el cheapo Spanish Brandy ( around 3 Euros a bottle own brands) leave them to soak for 10-20 minutes, empty out the brandy and reload them - shifts the burnt taste and gets you another week or so. To my mind the secret with them is only to take long slow draws and go slowly...

I suspect that since the ANTZ have demonized nicotine for so long, saying it's as addictive as that street narcotic, people somehow expect to actually get high from it -- if they've ever smoked an actual cigarette, that might even reinforce that expectation, since the carbon monoxide deprives your brain of oxygen, increasing the slight dizziness that would result from smoking when one is not accustomed to it. Throw in the MAOI alkaloids in tobacco, and I can get why those not accustomed to smoking cigarettes would expect nicotine to "get them high" -- even though it was mostly NOT the nicotine of cigarettes that caused all the "high" sensations. Cigarettes also provide their "payload" in PDQ fashion, thanks to being absorbed directly thru the lungs, and thence to the brain within SECONDS, whereas it can take up to 15 minutes for vaporized nicotine to reach the brain -- still a pretty good bit faster than when absorbed via the skin, as with patches, but not in any fashion that would contribute to a "buzz." The principle is much the same as with alcohol -- if you down a shot, bang, your brain will feel it very quickly. If you take 30 minutes to drink a beer, you won't feel nearly as intoxicated from roughly the same quantity of pure alcohol.

If one is not accustomed to nicotine, it does make you slightly dizzy; even if you *are* accustomed, if you use a higher-than-usual dose, there will be a slight dizziness... but it's really not a very pleasant sensation, and will lead very quickly to nausea and possibly even vomiting, if not discontinued just as soon as the dizziness is perceived.

There could be other reasons for vaping nicotine, than smoking cessation -- brain chemistry disorders, inflammatory conditions, maybe even appetite suppression for dieting... but getting high is just not something that nicotine can provide, when consumed via vapor without all the other chemicals present in cigarette smoke. Even when vaping WTA, there is no "high" -- just an even better chemical substitution for smoking cessation and possibly those brain/inflammatory conditions; it just will not hit your brain in anything like the near-immediate fashion that smoking provides.

There is also the additional nicotine they extract from the stalks and stems and spray it on the ground Tobacco to boost the nic. Then there is the chemical they spray on the tobacco to prevent the tobacco from tearing the cigarette papers, then there is the butane when lighting the tobacco, and lastly there is the smoke of the burning paper and the potassium nitrate (salt Peter) added to the paper that ptevents the cigarette from going out. All of those are bad news. If the additional nicotine is extracted with water not too bad. If it is extracted with rubbing alcohol or Benzene it is real nasty.

With vaping, nicotine delivery is cleaner and more pure. A lot of vendors use medicinal grade nicotine. It lacks anything but nicotine suspended in a PG or VG solution. The higher grade nicotine, usually over 95%+ pure nicotine, is delivered in a manner you hear i.v. drug users dub "even flow". Your body gets a highly potent yet low dose of nicotine from vaping.

I do not need to constantly vape. Nicotine builds up as I vape and gradually filters into me. I can vape for about two to five minutes, go on a few hours and not crave nicotine. I was using 18mg nicotine per ml of juice, am now stepping down to 12 mg per ml. I had tried some specially made juice at 6 mg per ml. This showed me, I was using a little too much. It's a personal experience situation, everyone is different, there's no right or wrong. What works for you, works for you.

May eventually get to 0 mg nicotine here. If I do great, if not it is still great because I'm not sucking cigarettes, which I now consider sucking tail pipes. As Andria points out, big tobacco injects cigarettes with all kinds of chemicals to boost and rush nicotine. For them it is a marketing strategy, get you hooked and quickly, get you to keep coming back for more, more, more. They profit having addicted consumers and money seems their only concern.

Also, I don't see where you've tried RDAS yet. I know some who use RDAS/RBAS suggest that 6mg of nicotine per ml of juice is a bit over board. Apparently, in using those kind of kits the nicotine is boosted by being more direct or something. I know what little of such kits I've used, I get taken aback at 6mg per ml. Again, it's a personal experience. You need to explore. Hopefully, you will and we've not scared you off.

It's a Good Tank.

It has the Same Performance as an eGo One. But it is Glass. And is of course, Much easier to see the e-Liquid.

Like I said, I had to Modify the 510 on the Kamry Base so that eGo One Coils heads would work in it. Actually used a 510 Pin from Subtank Nano.

Same here -- which may be why I took to smoking like a little duckling to water at the tender age of 13! Depression and anxiety my WHOLE life, or at least as much as I can remember. I thought smoking made me "cool"... but what it probably did was enable me to get thru high school and graduate, without committing suicide! But for me nicotine was only a small part of it -- it was those MAOIs -- I've had to use WTA for over a year now; finally down to 1%, so I won't need it for much longer, but I still have my emergency supply of it in the freezer, just in case I ever go insane again and decide that smoking will cure whatever ails me. It won't, it'll just hang a mighty anchor around my neck again, and I'd really prefer to keep that beast OFF me. Seventeen months smoke-free on xmas day! woohoo! What a great xmas present to myself!!!

You wanna know when you'll need to change the coil? it's up to just how FRUGAL you are, and what you're willing to GO THROUGH before finally breaking down and changing out the coil. LOL! I was unemployed when I first started vaping (I am today, as well) and I tried to be as CHEAP as possible... My very 1st E-cig was a two battery 510 (a cig-look-alike) kit, which came with TWO ATOMIZERS and FOUR CARTRIDGES. I used each atty for 4 months. In-fact, I was SO BROKE back then... I fell a tree in my backyard, I got sawdust INSIDE BOTH ATOMIZERS that day... and I CONTINUED TO USE THEM for MONTHS AFTERWARDS, all-the-while, TASTING THE SAWDUST with each drag... THAT is how frugal I was! I couldn't afford the 5-10 dollars + S&H to buy a new atomizer!! lol.

Now, we've got these TANKS. I like to call them clearomizer tanks, because I was around when clearomizers morphed into tanks, and so-on & so-forth... You can simply call them tanks, or whatever they are marketed as... The "COIL HEADS" in these tanks, lasts me anywhere from 3 days, to 2-3 weeks. IF you are willing to "get through" some "bad times" with a single head, you will be able to use one head for a longer period of time. For instance, if a coil head begins tightening up (usually due-to juice gunking up the airflow/wicking-holes/etc) then your vape experience is going to become annoying... However, I personally found, that if you "power through" (so to speak) this time period, of tight-airflow vaping, the coil-head MAY (usually) FIX ITSELF, IE: Become less clogged up, airflow wise. OR, if, for instance, your juice begins tasting BURNT.... You may have to vape BURNT tasting juice for a day, before the coil dry-burns all of the burnt juice OFF of itself, and begins vaping regularly again. lol. (YES, I've personally gone through this, as I'm sure a lot of us frugal vapers HAVE gone through this!! lol) so, HOW LONG you STAY with a single coil head, is really up-to YOU, and how WILLING u are, to experience a "sub-par" vape!

 

[Plumes.91]

and btw, i really enjoy my TRON tank (tron style ego-ONE tank) it's a great vape. have had 0 leaking issues since i received it. the airflow control works flawlessly and I am able to vape mouth to lung (rather than direct to lung) seamlessly with the airflow as close to closed as possible. I also like vaping with the airflow around the middle setting, especially when vaping at a slightly higher wattage. the ego-ONE TRON style tank has been a JOY to use, and I will continue using it and recommending it to friends, loved ones, and new vapers. NO problems w/it as of yettt. If I HAD to give ya'll ONE negative about the Joye Ego-ONE tank, (the TRON version, which is what I have) I would have-to talk about the airflow control ring... While I personally have no issue with it... I can see people complaining that it might "FEEL" cheap in construction or design, simply because it's a thin piece of metal that seems to glide on a track of sorts... What IS the mechanism that allows that ring to glide like that? I know it isn't ball-bearing, lmao. If it is simply lubricated metal-on-metal, that MAY be a problem in the future. (I'm talking, in 1.5-2 YEARS, as the lubricant dries out, and the metal begins chafing, lol) ..but no REAL gripe, with the ego-ONE.

Likewise, my Kanger Subtank Mini has been vaping great as-well. HOWEVER, I DO get a FAIR BIT more SPITTING and CRACKLING (sounds, SOLELY SOUNDS) w/ the Subtank-Tank-Series. I'm not 100% sure if that's simply bcuz I'm using THE rebuildable coil platform head, within my Subtank, rather than a FACTORY WRAPPED, DISPOSABLE coil head, like I am in my Ego-ONE. IDK!.. (maybe the RBA-head cracks & pops, due-to design? Maybe it audibly cracks & pops, due-to it having a different kanthal gauge in it?) Either way, I have NEVER gotten a crackling of e-liquid UP through the drip-tip, and into my MOUTH, with EITHER the ego-ONE, NOR with the Kanger Subtank... SO, whether the Subtank audibly cracks or not, is of NO concern to my MOUTH.

YUCK! I used-to HATE that whole ordeal with my Kanger T3 Clearomizers, some of my RDAs, Cartomizers & Carto-Tanks, and my Vivinova Tanks! lol. BLECK! (ALL of which, had leakage/spit-up thru the DRIP-TIP, issues) Neither the ego-ONE, NOR the Subtank, have had these types of issues... The Subtank Mini has ONE (MINUSCULE) problem (at-least, MINE does) where, I can't seem to adjust the airflow control ring, w/out unscrewing the tank OFF of the device it's on. This is because the airflow control ring is just TOO TIGHT on the tank, and, it just wont BUDGE on the mod, without 1st unscrewing... A PITA if u ask me. My only other "issue" with the Kanger Tank, has to do with aesthetics. The Tank has a lot of visual design attributes, which DON'T always LINE UP. This type of thing, has a tendency to trigger my OCD, occasionally. For instance- The Coil Head screws down into the "chimney" and I can plainly see the head through the glass tank, right? Well, that coil-head's FRONT (the side of the square that has the OHM markings) does not always screw-down in such a way, that the OHM markings are either visible from the FRONT or the BACK side of the mod that the tank is screwed into. (LOL... I know, this is a ridiculous pet-peeve...) And in addition to this "ISSUE" the Subtank has those "COLUMNS" that don't always line up with the front and/or back of the front of the mod it is screwed into... (I use my Subtank on the Subox Mini, which has a skinny front-side, and, those columns just dont always line-up in a way that compliments the mod. LOL.

But, the Ego-ONE and the Subtank (and Subtank MINI) are great tanks, and I believe everyone should give BOTH a go.

I agree. I'm only participating because I live to correct erroneous ideas. I used to devote a lot of time, effort, and money to the whole "getting high" lifestyle, and I could always find something that worked better than cigarettes! Cigarettes were just a given -- took a lot more than that for getting high!

As for vaping to get high.... here's a tip: ejuice isn't what you use.

Have seen WL carry what is 100mg per ml solution, they send out nicotine for a big pharmaceutical company and their nicotine rates as being around 98 or 99 point something percent pure. I'm not speaking of what percentage is in the solution in that, rather the grade level of purity. Yeah, agree that 100mg per ml is around 10% when it gets cut down into solution. But no, not seen 100% pure either. Figure it unlikely to see that.

Congrats on getting down to 0 nicotine. Hopefully, you can keep yourself there.

Not there yet. That won't happen till about 2-3 days after Christmas. Just hope I can stay there.

20mls of 6mg/ml nic in what time period?

If it's a buzz you're chasing, I don't know what to tell you, I've never got nor would want a buzz from vaping.
Reduce cigarette cravings, yes, buzz, no.

You can try raising your nic % to say 12mg/ml nic with your .5Ω.

That buzz you feel from smoking cigarettes is mostly caused by a lack of oxygen getting to your brain, a small part of it comes from the toxins & carcinogens in tobacco smoke.

Don't give him ideas about upping the nicotine. He'll just complain about the cough.
