Hi all! Newcomer's salt nic juice question

[Antonynightx]

Hi all! I'm new here. I'm trying to quite smoking for last year, so I've already used iqos and pod systems. For now i have Zeus X RTA with 0.2 ohm coils (i set 70w on box mode) and i have Fruit Monster salt nic juice with 48 mg. When i tried this setup i didn't feel any discomfort or smthing bad. But then i read that salt nic juice with 48 mg is too strong for this type of tank. Should i change juice to lower salt nic strength? As i need big dozens of nic and want to save taste which salt nic juices i should use (with what mg)?

Hello & welcome, Antonynightx.

Someone who knows what they're talking about will arrive soon.

(FWIW, if you're vaping at 70 watts, you could probably lower your nic strength quite a lot - but that's a guess).

How's it working for you? Yes, it's a lot of nicotine, especially when used with a tank like that at high power, but if that's what it takes to make you not want a cigarette and you don't feel sick from too much nicotine it's not "wrong". That said, that's a lot of nicotine. Even heavy smokers with a setup like that would find it a bit much. But for some it's what they need.

Do you have any desire for a smoke when using it? If no, then good. Are you nauseous, dizzy, drooling or otherwise feeling incredibly crappy? If no, then you have a really high tolerance.

The rule is use a much nic as it takes to make you not feel the need to smoke without making yourself feel ill. When I first started I was using high concentration nic in wither a cigalike or an eGo pen. When I started using hardware closer to what you have I had to drop down into my current stable 6 mg plain nic juice. If I took a draw off yours now, I'd probably need to lie down for an hour. But we're all different.

Good luck and please don't make yourself feel ill.

Welcome to ECF
If you are enjoying the vape and don't feel nic sick the mg is fine. You don't mention if you chain vape or if you sometimes want to chain vape but can't because of the strength of the juice. If this is the case I would suggest you get another setup and keep 12mg juice loaded in it.

Thank you a lot for your answer! I feel really ok with this mg and don't feel any desire for smoke after 5-7 puffs. I think I'm gonna try smthing like 5-12 mg, and see will i feel the need to smoke after this

Thank you! Yes, i think i can't chain, only 5-7 puffs with 20-30 secs intervals, so I'm gonna try some lower strength juice. What about setup i really like the taste, temperature and ergonomics

Welcome!

I was a chain smoker for 30 years, now a chain vapor. I run 12-18 mg of regular juice with low wattage. I haven't tried nic salt nor do I plan too.

 

[Eskie]

You can certainly try other juice with varying nic, but don't get rid of those salts if you get cigarette cravings. You use what you need.

Welcome! With that 48 mg juice are you off cigarettes completely? The nice people in this forum can help you dial in something that works for you.

Yes, i gave up cigarettes completely, use only vape

 

[YorkMan]

Wow that is great! Maybe at some point get another RTA and some lower nic liquid for all day vaping if desired. You might not need 48mg any more, especially with a high powered device.

You've gotten great advice. Welcome. In my experience, salt nic metabolizes faster than freebase, so overdoing it isn't AS easy, but still possible. I switched from a 30w device to a 90w, and dropped from 35mg to 6mg.


Now, I have the 6mg juice in the 30w pod, 3mg in the 80w, and 1.5mg in a 160w device. They all seem to me to have the same punch. Once you no longer get cravings, your body should tell you that it doesn't need that much nic any more. Be aware of what your body is telling you.

Welcome to the friendly bunch

As above...if you're feeling nic sick after vaping the salts all day then lower the strength....if not then you're fine

Hello and welcome to ECF. You have already received some excellent advice so I will just say "Hi".

 

[Coyote628]

Ill say too what others said....if you are tolerating nic at 48mg at .2 ohm and the wattage you stated and not feeling sick from it, i wouldn't worry much. Go at it like this untill you feel you must lower your nic level, as long as it stops the craving for cigs. If you go too low too soon, you may end up craving cigs again. Do what your body tells you. There really is no right or wrong here except what feels right to YOU. Except maybe dont use freebase at this level, that might be a bit harsh. Or maybe not . Only you can decide.

Should i change juice to lower salt nic strength?

Some people have higher nicotine tolerances than others. I think I might die if I vaped that, but if it's working, it's working.

Nothing wrong with trying lower mg eliquids (OR maybe checking your blood pressure as you vape what you have, that is seriously very high but if you aren't overdoing it and you feel fine, it's probably... just working for you right now.

And Eskie's right keep that stuff around in case you are just a nicotine mutant who metabolizes it very rapidly or whatever.

Do what works mainly.
