I am about one month into vaping, I have to scroll down a long way to select my age on drop down lists.
Still more into tobacco flavours than fruit and puddings.
Anyone who wants to advise me between freebase and salts versus sub ohm'ing please feel free to do so. Currently using 18 mg freebase at 50/50 PG/VG.
I was smoking plain or none filters so easy draw is OK for me.

Welcome to ECF, Stew. Salts nicotine is just much smoother, for some reason, so it's less irritating in higher concentrations. JUUL invented it to compensate for low wattage and poor airflow in their pods. I've tried both salts and freebase and I stick to the latter. Salts are not necessary with more efficient delivery systems like mods and tanks. As for nicotine strengths, 12mg/ml is 12mg/ml, salts or freebase.

Welcome Stew, I am even older than you! 1955! :drool:

I went through the "all tobacco flavors" thing too but now hardly ever vape it, preferring fruits especially Lime.

Have fun here and you'll learn a lot if you hang around. :w00t:
Thanks very much. One thing I like doing is learning about things I am doing to get the best out of what I am doing and picking up tips and tricks to make it a better experience.

Welcome. If you aren't vaping crazy high nicotine or feeling discomfort from your current freebase mg and it's satisfying to you, I'd say you probably don't need nic salts. I vaped them in the beginning because my respiratory system was a mess, but I actually prefer freebase taste and all.

Thanks Anna. Appreciate your input.

Thanks for the interesting and very informative links. I am the type of person that likes to be able to assess things for myself by reading and learning from people that know what they are talking about and these articles are very helpful in that regard.
Thanks again.
