Hi, Newbie at vaping

[ktazz]

Hi guys

Recently quit "analogs" about 2 weeks now give or take. I've been smoking for about 3 years...stress from college lol so thats why I started smoking. At first I started smoking Camels then switched to Marlboro reds, then to Newport then Newport 100s, then Parliament 100s...finally decided to quit now that I have graduated college! also because the GF said my teeth were getting yellow...so I didn't like that.

So thats my story...and here I am now. my first e-cigarette was from "Victory" when they had that promotion for 1cent starter package. at first it was alright..but it left a lot to be desired...battery sucked, flavor sucks... so I decided to research here to find a small cigarette like e-cigarrete and I found great recommendations for the "Volt" so I recently bought the starter kit and some flavors at 24MG...

I just recieved the package today and...boy 24MG is STRONG...did i make a mistake in choosing the strength? should I have gone lower? if so how much lower?

I bought some juice from Fuzionvapor.com as I saw a thread highly recommending them, it was 12mg but I dont feel any throat hit on those. So any recommendations for a newbie here?!

Thanks!!!

You could find a safe spot in the home and uncap one of those 24mg bottles of e-liquid for a couple of days. The nicotine content would start reducing leaving you with more flavor and less harshness.

Great tip Kewlceo!

If you can match flavors, refilling the 24s with 12 as they run down a bit may get you closer to something like 18mg. Or load two batteries one with 24 and the other with 12 and take turns vaping off them.

Welcome to the forum and congrats on the 2 weeks.

Hello, you will really enjoy ECF the people here are fantastic!

I also started about 2 weeks ago with 24mg and am dropping down to 18 and 12 at night. I have been getting dizzy and not sleeping well.

Great progress. I tried 36mg for a while and felt that way, I'm down to 10mg now and enjoying it.

Lol, at 24MG, I felt pretty darn lightheaded and buzzed for a few mins after a few inhales -__-

can you match flavors that are different brands? or are they about the same?

you can match flavors if you want but each brands flavors taste a tad bit different because not everyone makes their stuff the same

 

[kewlceo]

at 10mg do you still feel any throat hit?

Yes, I do. I mix my own using PG, VG, flavorings, (sometimes sweetener and/or ethyl maltol) and nic, but it tests at 10mg and has good throat hit so I must be doing something right.

Also, another question guys, sorry for the whole list of questions.

If I Vape too much does it give you that sick feeling in your stomache where you feel like you want to throw up? Like when you are doing regular cigarettes?

Don't apologize for questions, it gives us a chance to pontificate and also be wrong, lol.

I don't feel any ill affects from constant vaping (which is rare but then tonight is superbowl and I'm also imbibing, lol) but if I were vaping a strong nic mixture then I'd probably not feel tops.

lol Thanks for all the info! highly appreciate it!!

 

[kewlceo]

Hopefully not too much info, lol.

Reducing nic seems to work best if you go by small increments, FWIW. Best of luck, ktazz.

Welcome to the EFC! I stopped smoking not that long ago myself. Also have two Volt batteries, which are serving me well.

If I were you, I would start getting the 18mg juices. That's what I've been using and am happy with.

Congratulations on quitting cigarettes and finding this wonderful community.

Also for times where you just want to enjoy vaping a lot and not necessarily need a nic fix, get a lower nic juice to enjoy and Vape away. I tend to Vape less mg. nic at night when I want to just Vape a lot and chill.

 

[MiamiMom63]

Also like kewlceo said, it's much easier to lower nic by say 2 mg at a time and not notice anything different. It's when you start getting down real low like 8 mg that I'm finding it hard to go lower. Lol. But hey, the step 3 nicoderm patch is at 8 mg so I figure that's not so bad.
