How often to puff

[mrspabs]

I just got started and between the 5 puffs that I took, my 2 analog cigarettes and the e-liquid that I accidentally got in my mouth.. I feel light headed. I am using 6mg liquid.

I normally smoke around 6 cigarettes a day. How many puffs is that equal to? I know it varies per person.. but I am kind of worried that I am going to poison myself

Welcome. I think you just got a tiny bit dizzy from the analogs. When you use ecigs alone and then feel that way, then just time to put it down until you feel better. 6mg is not going to poision you. However, the stinkies are....

As far as puffs go, that is a myth. the point is to vape enough to keep the cravings from stinkies away, thus satisifying your need to smoke them. Go slow, listen to what your body is telling you it needs.

It seems a bit high for you.
I would get the same flavor eliquid with 0 nic and mix equal amount to get it down to 3?

If that is still giving you fits, mix in 2 - 0 nic to one and get it down even more?

Remember, Nic is there to help you with the "fix"! If it's too much and not helping with your fix neither, than it's not good.

Cheers

Doesn't take long to adjust to the ecigs. I used to get light-headed... but I found that I ended up smoking them all day long, and it wasn't long before the dizziness went away for good, no matter how much I smoke. I am, however, slowly decreasing the nicotine levels in all my juices to eventually, hopefully, be off nicotine altogether.

I just give mine a break now and then to let the coil cool down

6mg isnt much. from what i learned tho, the action of vaping is more fatiguing than smoking analogs which could exacerbate a nicotine rush into a headache. i chain vaped 24mg when i frist started and i know for sure i got nicotine poisioning. so you should be okay at 6. just takes a few days to workout your vaping muscles. lol

theres no way to know how many puffs equal 6 analogs since the analogs have other chemicals in the leaf to enhance the experience of the nicotine whereas vaping is much cleaner. regardless congrats on your decision to switch!

My puff counter depends on the juice. If I am vaping a great juice the question is when do I not puff

here's my general rule of thumb... i puff whenever the hell i feel like it.

I tend to vape a lot more than I actually smoke, which is why I use a lower nicotine level then I think I need. I can go through quite a bit of liquid, but I haven't had an analog in over two months .. so it works!!

It's really all personal preference. I was a pack to two packs a day before, however when vaping I'm currently at 6mg. If I vape anything above 6mg now I'll end up feeling dizzy, but with 6mg I can chain vape all day. To be quite honest I can go days without vaping now and be fine, I just enjoy vaping and the different flavors.

Here is my rule of thumb. Sit back enjoy vaping. If you get dizzy or a headache or feel nauseous just put it down for a bit. 6mg is not alot and every now and then you will get a little in your mouth. I Vape all day and like one of the previous comments stated Analogs will kill you vaping wont.
Good Luck and enjoy.Welcome to the Forum.
