Frustrated with vaping!!!

[Lobes2011]

I have been vaping on and off for over a year now. I have tried every strength, tons of different ejuice company's, making my own, have the best tanks and mods etc. and it just doesn't agree with me. I actually have 3mg nic right now and after two puffs it is all I can take. Everyone else I no or see puffs on them just like a smoke. I have read and heard that with analogue the nicotine is absorbed through your lungs and wuth vaping the nicotine is absorbed through your mouth and sinuses. I gave a very dry and raw miuth due to medications and have allergies so my sinuses are dry from nasal spray etc. I can smoke a pack of analogues a day no ptoblem but I JUST WANT TO VAPE!!!! PLEASE HELP

What's the problem? After a few puffs, what happens? Elaborate.

 

[VictorViper]

Agreed. Right now it sounds like you're rocking a damn efficient nic-delivery device!

 

[Jugband]

Yes, please elaborate! I hate to see anyone give up. I myself have terrible allergies, I take medication daily, nasal sprays, pills, I'm allergic to everything inside and out, year round. It's miserable! But I vape daily. Much, much better change from smoking. I'm sure we'll figure it out. Give us more details.

Nicotine absorption from electronic cigarette use: comparison between first and new-generation devices : Scientific Reports : Nature Publishing Group

This link states how much nicotine you actually absorb and in comparison to analogs. There are more reports that you should google. BTW, nicotine is absorbed in your mouth, throat, stomach, sinuses, and lungs. If you dispute this, how do you think a nic patch works?

Thanks for this link, WD! Excellent read.

Thanks for the input. After a couple puffs of 3mg it's not to bad but if I were to have like 5 puffs I feel kind of crappy, stomach a bit gross and a bit light headed. I generally mix and puff on 30/70 pg/vg. Please respond and also I have been using different unflavored pg and vg from a different company could that make a difference? I just want to vape. If I go out for a analogue then 20 to 30 minutes later vape a few times it does bother me also.

Sounds to me like you may need to go down some more on your nic strength. Or could be PG don't agree with you. Try something in 100VG, and see if it eases off. Or the other way around, maybe VG doesn't agree with you. Try something with a lower VG anount.

It sounds like your equipment is fine. Try those things and see if it helps any.

You Mix your own Juice. Don' t get mad are you positive you aren't mixing it wrong? Please let us know what you are using for nic in a mixture. I have made this mistake in the past.

I use the ejuice calculator I input 3mg nic 50/50 (purchased ejuice) then enter desired nic at 2 and pg/vg 30/ 70. It then tells me how many drops of each which depends on how many mills I want to make. It's also set at 20 drops per ml.

If I vape too high of a VG juice it sometime makes me feel ill.

OK my Idea was wrong.

 

[bones1274]

Sounds like too much nic. Buy some premade 3mg juice and vape that. If you don't get the same result, you know your calculations are off and you are getting too much nic. If you get the same result, then it is something else in the juice making you feel that way.

I have read and heard that with analogue the nicotine is absorbed through your lungs and wuth vaping the nicotine is absorbed through your mouth and sinuses.

It is a wrong assumption.

I think this is a great idea so you can compare.

 

[WharfRat1976]

Perhaps you are still withdrawing from analogs altogether. That WILL make you feel ill as well.

 

[Lobes2011]

Thanks everyone for your help I really appreciate the support. I will give these suggestion a try and repost after but please if you think of anything g else please respond.

If we assume that your mod/tank/coil/wicking/settings and your puff style (MTL, DTL) are all perfect, then your nicotine would be the first suspect. I'd suggest mixing up a tank full of 0 nic to prove that it is/is not the issue. The next suspect would be flavoring try some unflavored, followed by VG/PG ratio.

 

[Baditude]

What is the ohm (resistance) rating of your coils? Low resistance coils can cause a harsh, hot vape to sensitive vapers. Higher resistance coils (2.0 - 3.0 ohm) can provide a cooler vape.

Be sure to drink PLENTY of water. Pg & Vg both draw moisture from the mouth, causing dry mouth, and it must be replaced to avoid dehydration.

Biotine is advertised to help with dry mouth. Try that.

Sounds like you are mixing your own. Are you sure about about your nic level? I haven't smoked for over a year, have dropped from 18mg to 6mg and I can still vape all day long without feeling nic sick. I will say, I stay at 20/80 VG mixes or max VG as much as possible as the throat hit of PG had become a little intense for my liking.
