Hi Strength Nicotine makes me hiccup.

I have also experienced this, but only with nicotine gum by chewing the heck out of two 4 mg pieces in rapid succession. I can vape 33 mg juice continuously and not get hiccups. I suspect that you have a low nicotine tolerance, which is a good thing in my opinion. One approach would be to increase the nicotine more slowly, increasing your tolerance gradually, but bear in mind that you will be increasing your level of nicotine addiction at the same time. The other approach is to play with flavors and see if any can help you be satisfied at the lower nic concentration.

Regardless, it will take a bit of determination to fully make the switch from smoking. However, when I started vaping it did not totally satisfy me (at any nic level) and I smoked a few cigs a day. Gradually my subconscious mind came to understand that vaping did satisfy the nic cravings, and eventually I preferred vaping and now I go days without a smoke. I do still have a smoke now and then, but when I do, my lungs feel dirty and I go right back to vaping. But yes, it still requires some determination to stay off the cigs.

Edit: I don't know of anything you can add that will stop the hiccups, maybe someone does. You might also try slowing down on the high nic vape, or not inhaling quite so deeply. But hang in there, it will get easier over time. Don't equate relapsing a bit with total failure.

I hiccup if my nicotine strength is higher than 8-10 mg. What can i add to reduce the likelyhood of hicupping? Because thusfar i've been unsuccessful trying to switch from cigarettes to low strength eliquid and so its kindof vital that i up the strength of my eliquid without causing hiccups.

Once in awhile I will get a Drop of e-Liquid in my mouth due to a Leaking Clearo. Which will make me Hiccup.

What mg level do you want to use? And do you think you are somehow getting e-Liquid into your Mouth?

No dripping e-liquid. And even if there was, that's not whats making me hiccup.

I find the effect is more guaranteed if there is no flavour on top of the pg/vg and nicotine.

But since cigarettes do not ever make me hiccup and sometimes actually help cure the hiccups (but not as good as bananas), i think there must be something about smoke that subdues that urge. Flavour in eliquid helps. I wonder if there is any cough suppresents or something i could add to my eliquid. Or perhaps NET flavours would be less likely to give me the hiccups?

I would like to use 12mg at least.

There Isn't anything to Add to an e-Liquid. But here is a Question. Have you tried Different PG to VG Ratios?

Many people, like myself, have a Problem with High PG e-Liquids. Have you Tried High VG or 100% VG e-Liquids?

Maybe they would Help?

Back when I used to vape 48mg/ml juice, the hiccups were the warning sign that if I kept vaping, I'd be getting a nic-headache soon if I didn't stop vaping for a bit and drank some more water.

Haven't had the hiccups from vaping since I started dropping my nicotine level. I think of the hiccups as a fairly natural response.

...........But since cigarettes do not ever make me hiccup and sometimes actually help cure the hiccups (but not as good as bananas), i think there must be something about smoke that subdues that urge..........

Maybe a banana smoothie? Some sort of drink might help. Try everything from orange juice to tomato juice to punch. Just a thought. I do hope you find something. I used to chew, and if I got the least bit down my throat it was hiccup city lol.

I used to hiccup all the time but I used to also smoke and vape too. I still hiccup sometimes but it's usually when I haven't vaped for awhile (an hour or 2) and I drip something that has a rough TH. Too much nicotine = hiccups lol and when I get them they stay with me for a long time. They'll go away periodically but they come back whenever I vape, eat, or drink and they last for like 2 days sometimes.
