Yep, everyone is different. You know, I have smoked for very, very long time without any negative effects. Would I recommend smoking? Nope. Not sure about dripping 24 mg at any coil. But of course anyone who wants to be a guinea pig for benefit of science is welcome.

We're all guinea pigs for something. In regards to your post before this one, If you're vaping 10 ml of 3mg/ml nic you are most likely getting more daily nic than vaping 1ml of 24mg/ml nic. As you said, it's about how much nic you're getting, luckily for most people the body is good at telling you when you start to have too much. I vape higher nic than a lot of people, but I also vape less throughout the day.

So.. I was a heavy chain smoker, keeping it Marlboro Red all the way, a pack a day and frequently more for six years. I changed to vaping about two months ago, and I am good. I'm completely off the analogues, and I don't even have an urge for cigarettes anymore. That said, I've been vaping 24mg nicotine e juices all the while. And I had been dripping it. I didn't know it was considered crazy until I saw a youtube video showing people dripping 24mg e juices and saying how crazy that is. So I am chain vaping 24mg with rdas. Is there any health issue that will come because of this 'craziness?' I've been very thirsty and i got a subtle dark circles under my eyes, but that's about it for the negative side effects of vaping that i'm experiencing.

People say dripping 24mg is crazy because they're not thinking about wattage.

Many people who drip on rda happen to be vaping at high wattage, and it is the high wattage, not the dripping, that needs lower milligram strength.

You can drip 24 mg perfectly fine on a 32 gauge coil at 5 watts.


I use 30 gauge a lot, usually 10 watts, and sometimes I add a drop of 24mg to my dripper mixed in with whatever's there already



If you check what milligrams people vape against what wattage they vape it at, you'll find
milligrams x wattage = 100 is pretty typical.
50 would be the low end, and 200 would be on the high end..

Lol I'm on mechanicals mainly genesis tanks so what maybe 30 watts. I know geni's are still the only thing to keep giving me a buzz. Efficiency in design I believe.

And my magma puts out such dense vapor I can't see anyone lungin 24 off of it. But I'm sure there are a few.

On this note, Question about nicotine strength.

I was told 6mg is ruffly equilivant to 5 cigs a day. Is that 5 per ML you vape then?

Sounds like OP is getting a pretty heavy dose of nicotine.

Total nicotine = mg/ml x ml.

So if you vape 6mg (that means 6mg/ml) and you vape 3 ml per day, that is 18 mg of nicotine per day total.

I can't vape more than ~16mg/mL without getting heavy lungs, regardless of tank/coil/mod/wattage. That being said, if you drip 24mg/mL at 9.5W without ill effect (heavy lungs, palpitation, pounding (read: headache) blood pressure, nausea, hiccups), then I'd say go for it. Drop your nic consumption, if you can, by increment.. 20mg/mL, 16, etc. Beyond that, happy vaping!
