For experienced users of high nicotine levels only PLEASE!!! 36mg/ml is not enough for me!!!

[Pleski]

I can't see why chain vaping 24mg is acceptable where moderately vaping 48mg wouldn't be. Even a light beer will still give you a hangover if you drink enough of it.

I vape 40mg on my cigalike because I use it at work, need to be discreet and need to be quick. I assume Dr farsolinos is right in that you really need high nic levels to even get close to a tobacco cig.

What I notice is flavor heavy store brands tend to destroy my wick rather fast and gunk up my coil. Keeping it simple with PG+nic basically eliminates this issue for me.

Still waiting on some high nic to arrive in the mail.

Been vaping 50mg/ml nicotine without any noticeable problems. It tastes yucky lol

Vaping 60mg/ml. I notice the higher up in nic concentration you go the more peppery it gets, it is almost like snorting black pepper up your nose.

 

[Frenchfry1942]

My understanding is that 36mg is much higher than I cigarette. If you got away with 4mg gum...why going higher?

I did 36mg for about 2 weeks, went to 24 and am now going to 18mg. My criteria is to cover my urges. I can vape once every 6 hours with 36mg or I can vape 18mg about once an hour.

TRIAL: ~95-100mg/ml nicotine in VG. OMg, it tastes like Pepper. Even thought the nic level doesn't seem to bother me the overwhelming sting of pepper smell and flavor does. It is an overwhelming burst of pepper flavor, ugh!

Overview
50mg/ml: somewhat peppery
60mg/ml: pepper becomes obvious
100mg/ml: pepper assaults and overwhelms your senses,

Too bad I'm not a huge pepper lover. There's prob a way to mask the peppery barf with a specific flavor.

I'm actually kinda digging the 100mg/ml level. I can actually feel it instead of barely detect the sensation of nic. It is probably way too high to vape more than once every hour though. It was a wacky experiment.

I wouldn't want to venture past 100mg/ml, even this levels seems a bit too much.

I'd venture that 60mg/ml is probably as high as any sane person should go.

I use extreme caution, cleaning all the mod parts and being very exact w/nic. I wouldn't advise trying this.

I'm growing very tired of combustible cotton wicks, depending on my coil it has gotten to the point that I am replacing my wick every day.

I'm going to have to look into a non-porous ceramic wick. I use a bottom feeder so I imagine I can just squeeze up a fresh coating of VG to cover the wick every time I vape.

I hate wicks. Whenever I get a mouthful of combusted material I curse the wick.

Ok, I admit to liking the 90-100mg/ml nic level... A lot... LoL. It is still a bit too much pepper sensation, but it is a level that feels comparable to the nic delivery of 4mg mini lozenges. I'll take it easy with this until I figure out if my nicotine tolerance levels can cope with it. I can vape less often and still get the full kick as chain vaping 36mg/ml.

Went back down to 50mg/ml

trying to figure out the bad flavor issue

 

[jonhall2]

cool thread! have been ciphering my nic needs and where i want to be. enjoy vaping but don't always have time to satisfy in a hurry.

 

[Nermal]

I was a pack a day smoker for 40 years, and I don't like the fact that I *need* anything to get through my day LOL However, I do - and after 40 years vaping my nic is much less harmful than smoking.

I don't like that, either.

I'm sorry, but I think you are putting us on. You've never smoked and you're vaping something that most of us think requires special handling while mixing. I've got a 500ml stash of 60 ml, and wouldn't handle it without protective gloves.

glad my sensitivity would never allow me to try high levels. i am happy with 10mg adv and 18mg for a quickie. everybody is different.

We sure are. I vape 16 mg in my VV's and 6 mg with lung hitters. I get plenty of satisfaction this way.

Well I think you are wrong, unless of course if nude nicotine ships out fake nicotine. It vapes just fine except for taste issues.

Using only about 2-5% menthol flavoring that is why I can't say I vaped the full 100mg/ml.

But even at 100mg/ml. Say you only vape at most about 0.1ml with each big inhalation which is about 10mg nicotine at most, say only about 1/3 of that is actually delivered into the bloodstream, the rest is exhaled rapidly, meaning the dose is probably at most 2-3mg per deep inhalation. And like I said it feels like what popping 4mg mini nicorettes feels like. It is even weaker than Skoal, which is strong enough to make me dizzy. Not even nicorette can do that to me.

I don't plan on using 100mg any longer than I did as a sort of taste aversion develops to the pepper flavor. That's why I went back down to the 50mg/ml. I may retry 60mg/ml and maybe something in between 60-90 range. But once you get up to 60 and beyond the flavor kinda sucks.

60 would make a good base for adding flavoring to as 50mg seems about right for me.

100mg/ml trialed again. Yuck... Yuck!

My final thoughts and verdict is that 100 is way too harsh to vape with any amount of comfort. For some reason my tolerance for vaping this has declined since the previous day, it is as if my lungs have learned to respond to this level with an involuntary exhalation like gasp when I try to inhale this now. I'll take this as a sign my lungs don't like this level of nic. Too harsh too drying.

 

[cotinine]

60mg/ml trialed again. Yuck.

It is not too nasty to tolerate but still somewhat harsh. Drying up and irritating airways. I imagine it would be difficult to use it with flavoring and taste the flavor unless diluted at least 10% with VG or PG.

 

[cotinine]

50mg/ml trialed again. Tolerable.

It is my opinion that 50mg/ml is probably the maximum that can be vaped with any amount of comfort.

I'll use this info to set the limit of my DIY from 40-50mg/ml as absolute maximum level, regardless of whether or not it feels like enough nic (compared to expensive 4mg nicorette mini lozenges).

Anything above 50mg/ml is just way too harsh to vape and dries up mucosa excessively. 36mg/ml may not be so bad after all after exploring and testing the upper ranges of my tolerance to the vaped flavor of nic.
