Last time I posted, I was had been experiencing severe nicotine OD on 18mg. I thought my wife was doing good, but come to find out, the headache she was experiencing was also do to nicotine OD. Anyway, we dropped down from 18mg and 24mg carts to 8mg and it was still to much. We finally found that doing a combination of 4mg and 0mg carts works great! No OD symptons and no withdrawal symptons. I was starting to feel like I had just wasted a whole lot of money on the e-cig thing but now I think it's going to work. We were both pack-a-day smokers of menthol light 100s but I think the brands we smoked was not delivering as much nicotine as we thought.

Anyway, needless to say, I've posted in the cart trade thread because we have ALOT of unused carts and juice in the higher dosages that hopefully someone can use.

Well, my long manual batt just finished charging, time to vap!!:thumb:
 
Thanks Trish,
I can't believe the difference now. Oh, the other thing I forgot to mention was that we also switched to VG as well. I like it better as it seems to produce more vapor. I don't think we had allergies to the PG, but as a just in case, I went with the VG on my last order and I really like it. Speaking of, I need to get another order in.
 
You are so lucky to be able to use such low nic levels! Congrats on finding your sweet spots. Here's to breaking free of stinky cigs!


AMEN to that!! Yeah the road to get here was not fun and now I have about 50 some carts that the wife and I can't use...Oh well.

I checked out the contest thing thread and what a genius idea. They do have some cool prizes. I'm tempted to order more...haha. My b-day is later this month and I'm trying to save for a new heli, so I gotta be careful.

You know you can use them. Either wash them out or dilute with plain vg or pg and or low miligram unflavored nic juice. But if its to much a hassel i will take some off your hands! Glad to hear your enjoying vaping to the fullest. I too had problems in the beginning i was shaky as hell and thought i was nicotine oding! i was vaping at 24 and 36! so i went to 18mg. and was getting enough and craving! I wasnt even vaping much about 8 times a day at about 6-8 minutes a piece. Figured out it wasnt even the nic! It was new medication. I asked my doctor and the delivery system is a big factor. He told me that sense you swallow the nic then absorbed rather then 4000 chemicals absorbed in your lungs it can be quicker or slower and can effect people differently. You can be more sensitive to nic or less in some nicotine alternatives? I dunno if this is true but its what he said? But im glad it wasnt the nic because i was so shaky i could even drip or fill carts. After i stopped the meds now im fine. And can enjoy my 24mg and 36mg because they are very satisfying to me! Happy vaping!


oh also you do have to sit there and vape them the whole time. If you run out you can use them as back up. Just take a couple drags and set them down for a while.

New Heli? Tele? Are we talking guits here? Interested because of the home studio gear that my new V4L budget's cutting into. :cool: Actually, my scene's like yours in that I initially spent $100s finding my fav vapes and mg levels--a really fun ride, I might add--and now have a nice back-up stash to deal with in the coming months. I hope to vape it all eventually--at least that's the plan. Or maybe I'll just give up music and vape all day.

This what I have, if you are interested in any of it, let me know.
5 carts -Steve's VG Sampler - 8mg
4 carts - Smilin Special Menthol VG - 8mg
5 Carts - Menthol VG - 8mg
9 carts - Kamel Mentol - 18mg
14 carts - Parlament Menthol - 18mg
8 carts - Kamel Menthol - 24mg
9 carts - Parlament Menthol - 24mg
5 carts - Dunhall - 24mg
4 bottles - Kamel Menthol 5ml juice - Med (18mg)
1 bottle - Parlament Menthol 5ml juice - high (36mg

I thought about diluting the juice, might still consider doing that. I didn't even think about the fact that I could wash the carts out....hmmm. We'll see.

I'm vaping about the same as I smoked. At least that is how it is working for me for now. I have a vape every hour or 2, about 8 to 10 puffs, like I'm smoking an analog cig. When I really want just that feeling of the throat hit and inhale/exhale of the vapor, the 0mg VG is great for that, that is what actually gives me the relaxed feeling that I got from smoking. It's so weird how smoking and the addiction is so different from one person to the next. No wonder why things like the patch, gum, lozenges and so on don't work that well. All they do is deliver nicotine and I think smoking goes way beyond just a nicotine addiction.

Nope, no Tele, I have enough guitars right now. A buddy at work was trying to convince me to spend $1800 and buy his almost mint condition Gretsch Duo Jet. My wife would kill me. I meant heli as in R/C helicopter. I only have about 13 of those, but there's a couple of new ones that have come out recently that would be nice to get.

SO glad you posted - I just this minute bought the whole UU works plus carts for my daughter, who dizzed out on my 18s, but I ordered 11s for her. Just sent her some 8s and 4s to try too after reading the above. THANKS for passing that on, you may have helped a very nice girl in Balt. get started right. This forum always has something helpful going.

I hope she can find a good dosage that will work for her. The good thing about what I went through in trying to find the right dosage was that it taught me alot about my own addiction to analog cigs. If what I learned can help someone else out, then that's just an extra bonus.

Enjoy
