I am introducing myself

[moonible]

Hello!

I am called chris. I got a "mini" from theelectroniccigarette.co.uk.
It's nice. I definitely enjoy it. I'm using it a lot more than I would a usual cigarette. So I got some nicotine free carts, as well as some medium strength ones.
However, the carts aren't lasting anywhere near as much as I was expecting. and I've just read here that that's pretty common.
I only smoked about 7 cigarettes a day before, so my nicotine intake has at least tripled. Which isn't, you know, ideal.
Is getting a mixing kit of my own the best option for me? So that I can use a lot less nicotine?
If i just bought some PG, would I be able to drip that onto the cats I've already got, and still have some flavourings or nicotine left?
The cart longetivity and the massively increased nicotine intake are the only problems I'm having with the thing.
I don't seem to be saving any money, but it's a lot of fun. real satisfying.

Anyway. Hi!
My hobbies include playing music, writing, and being awesome.

There are lots of recipes floating around and lots of people to give great advice on making your own nic or no nic juice. Good luck. Welcome aboard.

Hey Chris

Welcome

Im going out on a limb here, but I seriously doubt your nicotine intake has gone up, but your frequency of using a probably has, this is due to how the ecig works

Most of us fell for the somewhat exaggerated claims of how many cigarettes a cartridge is equivalent to, but stick around and ask lots of questions and you will figure most stuff out

More info would help, like what strength cartridges you are using for a start

There is a learning curve for sure, but so long as you're managing to stay away from tobacco you're on the right road

Thanks. I definitely feel as though my intake has gone up, since I've got a huge nicotine rush for much of the day.
Most of my carts are 14mg strength, and i have a few 11mg strength.
I was wondering, If I smoke a cart until it dries, will I have taken the whole amount of nicotine, or just a fraction of it?

Oh sweet, I'm from teeside. Got a link?

moonible, buy some lower nicotine e-liquid to refill your carts with. Maybe 8-11mg. If you find any e-liquid too high you can always cut it with some glycerine to begin with. You can buy 100mg glycerine from most chemists for about £1.00 or a smaller bottle from most supermarkets (baking section) for about 45p.
