Coming from cigars, it was near impossible for me to inhale hardly at all - mostly out of habit. I would go into mouth and out through the nose when I first started, and used a higher nic as a result - 21mg(mixed 18 and 24). But after awhile I was able to do mouth to lung, and really craved that throat hit. I was able to go down in nic with MTL... Really I HAD to go down -12mg. Soon after that I found myself not sealing on the drip tip, and just going for straight lung. Dropped the nic again, down to 6mg with that. I now prefer the lung hits and pretty much only do that. Since getting my REO, and straight lung hits, I'm down to 2-3mg. Just as satisfied (as far as nicotine) as when I was pulling 21mg with no inhale like a cigar through an ego with a CE4 clearo back in the day before vv
sigelei with pro
tanks/
nautilus (MTL 12mg), mech tubes (lung 6mg)...
Granted with my progression I was also blowing larger and larger clouds, I would be getting more nic if I kept same level anyway... but another angle to that - liquid being the highest expense in the long run (so long as I can keep from buying a hundred REOs) - it's cheapest with the lowest nic that keeps you satisfied.
