I was basically chain vaping some 24mg liquid the other day. I started to get dizzy and felt like I was going to throw up. Just an overall horrible feeling. I've found that if I am going to vape that much, it needs to be a lower nicotine level and I'm fine.

I did it with 36mg. I told my daughter that if I didn't feel better in 30 minutes, TAKE ME TO THE HOSPITAL! It passed. I cut all of my juices down. Now I can chain vape if I want....lol.

If you are using a V4L system with cartomizers, your not going to be able to add VG straight to the carto. You might want to thin it (the VG) with water (about 5-10%)and try but it sounds like trouble. I would just order boxes of 12mg and 18 mg cartos and see which strength you prefer. In the meantime, you can use the 24s' if you don't chain vape them. Also I found it very useful to have high nic cartos around when I first started vaping to beat the " I just want a cig now!!!" thing. So you might find 18mg is fine most of the time, but sometimes you just need a few puffs of the 24mg strength.

I guess 24mg is waaay higher nicotine than the Basic Ultra Lights I smoke. I got my Vapor4Life kit last night, fired that puppy up this morning, and coughed so hard I almost choked. Ya'll call it "throat hit", but it burned like lighter fluid to me. During the day I've read some more and modified the way I take a drag off this thing, but now I'm light headed and a little spinney. I should have got the 12 mg or something. Plus, no vapor at all is coming out of my mouth. Zip. I'll keep trying. 8 hours without an analog stick so far. It will be harder at home than here at work. :oops:

You can get high off nicotine. When I first got my e cig I was vaping like mad. Mainly because you don't know when to stop. At least with an analog when it hits the filter you stop. But I didn't. I had trouble walking 5 feet to my bed. I was stumbling. But you will learn quickly.

Some tips: Just take a few draws when you feel the need to smoke. About 5-10.
Drink fluids, Don't take such a big hit till you get used to it. Burnt juice will irritate your throat and make you cough.

Good luck

I was interested in which %'s i wanted also. SO, i purchased one flavor in three differant percentages (same nicotine each). This way i can find the right balance of flavor/vapor/throat hit for me.

As for the coughing, try a minor adjustment to your 'toke'. I take a mouth full, inhale, then take another mouth full and in hale. I treat it almost like a pipe... almost. That treats me well, and i find it helps get more flavor out of the vapor as well. that might help you also.

No vapour????? Don't scare me like that!!!.... lol. MY KR8088 should be here tomorrow..... My guess is that you are inhaling it incorrectly. You have to be much slower than an analog. Even my Safe Cig (E9) produces smoke out of my mouth and I know the KR808 is better.

i had a bottle of jc that i just couldnt stand the flavor was not to my liking and the TH was harsh more like smoking a marb red than what iam used to. I cut it with vg and i noticed the flavors mellowed and the TH was enjoyable but then i realized i had cut it too much and had to add more flavor. If i want a tabacco flavor jc is what i want but i had to play with it to be perfect

Yup, everyone has to experiment to come up with the percentage of VG that works the best for them. Usually, 33% Glycerin works fine for me, but that also depends on the nicotine strength of the liquid being mixed with the Glycerin and how flavorful the other liquid(s) are before they're mixed. With all the liquid choices available, it can easily take months and months before you discover what you like the best.
