Getting a nicotene buzz, but then...nothing?

[No More Analog]

This happened with my initial vapes with juices from thevaporroom.net on multiple occasions. I shook the bottles well. But then from the second day and beyond of vaping those same bottles...nothing.

I kind of want that buzz consistently. Well, not the buzz, but the feeling like I had a strong cigarette. I'm a week into no more analogs, and even though I'm no craving nicotene, I'm not feeling satisfied either. I could chain vape all day long; except for those new bottle days.

Am I crazy?

try upping the nicotine levels. also vape more in that sitting. this helped me get more of that buzz, and more relaxed

2nd week...I remember that...you need to up your nic. Your body is still going through some withdrawal. Not to nic but to the other junk that you were ingesting. Once you get past that, for me it took about 2 weeks, then all will be good. During my 2 weeks, I had to vape 36mg to get satisfaction. I was a heavy smoker to begin with so 36mg was good. Up your nic and hang in there. The feeling will subside and you'll get what you're looking for.

If you want that buzz consistently nicotine is not your friend. I don't know what is. Keep vaping anyway.

cheers

I *think* I know what Viktor is trying to say. With cigarettes, a lot of the buzz actually came from carbon monoxide poisoning. We were cutting off part of the oxygen to our brains with all the smoke. Nicotine by itself will give you a mild buzz, but like other addictives your system can get used to it and it would take more and more to get the same buzz. Personally, I've never gotten a buzz from e-cigs. I can achieve the first stages of OD, which for me is dizziness, but that's it, and have seen a number of other ECFers report the same thing. Of course, if the scientists that say nicotine by itself isn't any more dangerous than caffeine are correct, then short of underlying heart or circulatory problems, chasing the nic buzz wouldn't be anything more than maybe expensive.

I'm only on day two of my e cig experience. I thought I'd want to go with 18mg, but find that the 24mg of nic is working out much better - no edgy feeling like with the 18mg. Loading my own cartridges and that is sure to save $$.

BTW, this site rocks! My BF is going to become a vaper too, cuz now he can't smoke half my cig anymore!

 

[mlinky]

Sounds like you need to up your nic content. I was edgy and vaguely unsatisfied on 18mg, and OK with 24mg...and I keep 30mg for emergencies. Good luck!

The only thing I'll add to "up your nic" (sounds vaguely offensive lol) is that you don't have to vape higher mg levels all the time. During the transition from smoking to vaping, you can occasionally up your nic but stay at the lower level most of the time.

I started at 24mg and would spike my atty with a drop of 36mg when I craved an analog or to replace the important analogs (first thing in the morning, after dinner, etc.) Then, when I dropped from 24mg to 18mg, I would go back up to 24mg a few times a day until I fully adjusted to the lower nicotine level. And on like that...

In addition to upping your mg of nic, higher voltages of vaping gives greater intake of nic as well. Sometimes it is enough where you won't even have to up your amount of nic. So you can either increase mg of nic, vape at higher voltages, or even do both if you need to. This info will probably be even more helpful further on down the vaping road. Either way, it sure beats cigarettes!

Thanks for all the tips, folks.
I have a bunch of 24mg juice on the way (a couple coffees, mountain dew, dr. pepper, strawberry shortcake, PIZZA, horchata, mexican hot chocolate, sour apple, praline)

I am using an eGo with LR cartos and also an LR atty with a drip tip.

 

[QueenofHearts]

Sounds like you are off to a very good start then! BTW lots of juice flavors help and switching flavors seems to help a lot too. Just make sure to use like flavors in your attys and cartos! Like fruit or sweet flavors don't go too well with coffee or food ones. Stronger flavors like coffee used in an atty and especially cartos leave residual tastes that will definitely over power fruit, sweeter or lighter flavors. You might want to allocate your attys and cartos to certain flavor types...

I'm having trouble understanding the juices. I ordered some with my first order of equipment from litecigusa and can't figure out if they will actually have nic in them. As a current analog user, it will be almost useless if I vape without nicotine. ARRGGHHH

Best bet is to contact litecigusa and ask them, and/or start your own thread about this specific concern. Hang in there though, vaping is definitely worth it!

 

[DownrivourVapour]

Yes, vapings worth it! I've been anolog free for almost 3 months but brand new today on the forum!

 

[arthurfudge]

I switch flavors on a daily basis. I work for an e-cigarette kiosk at the mall so I always sample all the flavors. Today I am using strawberry... tomorrow who knows? haha

Since I started with choosing liquids, my tastes are always changing. Every week I like something else better, even when I didn't care for it a while back. I don't know yet what my fav. is yet. One thing's for sure, I feel Great! No more smokin! Almost 3 mths. The longest I've went in 28 yrs!

Hey arthurfudge, that sounds like a cool job! I was just telling my buddy today " I wouln't mind doin that!

Thats great! Congrats! I am off real cigarettes for good but I smoked a cigar for new year. Honestly I love Cuban Cigar Flavor it really helps with my cigar addiction. I also love clove, coffee and chocolate.

Just my opinion

You can't get that buzz consistently IMO. When you smoke cigarettes you are inhaling CO2 instead of oxygen. So with a cigarette, besides breathing in nicotine, you are breathing in burning leaves and about 400 chemicals and CO2. Just the breathing in CO2 instead of air would give you a buzz from being deprived of oxygen.

You could up your nicotine with vaping but then your body might get using to that amount and you would be escalating it up to the highest you can get and then maybe lose the buzz from that,

I think the key is finding a TH and juice flavor and PV combination that will mellow you out and make you feel relaxed and satisfied just because it felt good and smells good.
