I need some advice...

[Chroma]

Hello ECF community!
I have smoked maybe one or two cigarettes in my day. Honestly; I hate them, can't stand the damn things. Although, vaping has been my new thing for awhile now. I started at 0mg, then 3mg, to 12mg, jumped to 18mg, and now at 24mg. I've started to realize that 24mg isn't giving me what it used to. I want to buy more eliquid although in my area of the United States most stores only carry up to 24mg, some even 18mg ONLY. Any online sites that I may buy some good eliquid? I would appreciate the reply.

Sounds like you might want to check out WTA's (whole tobacco alkaloids).

Mt Baker Vapor.
I was the same way when I started 4 yrs ago and craved more and hitting it like a starving man hits a Buffet. The Vape Life always seemed to leave me lacking, wanting, and frustrated. Just about ready to call it a failure and toss it all in the trash.
Then lurked here on ECF and at a local Vape Shop (when 1 finally opened up instead of just wasting cash and time at the Smoke Shop and their cheap Crap)
Part of it was the cheap Chinese Juice, the biggest part was the Delivery Equipment/Means.
Get some good Juice such as from Baker or another of the quality Sources you will be directed to by others here.
But also probably most important, review your Delivery Devices...
What Equipment are you using now?

P.s. After getting a quality Juice Source and dialing in proper Equipment, more than satisfied with 18 Nic and even use 12 on some Flavors and Devices.

Just saw your new Thread,,,
Confused and a tad bewildered at the apparent Schism between the two....

But none the less I'll play.
I gave up on getting quality Juices at a reasonable price here in this part of the Kaintuck and order online only now.
The local Stuff is either Junk or if good from quality out of House Sources, WAY Overpriced and not to my Spec.

It is Not the Vapimg or the Nic

Due to college starting up I had to sell the other mods I do not use anymore. I have an ÆTHER Tech CK/S Notriuous Mod which runs on (1) 26650 battery. Also with an ÆTHER Tech Plume Veil
(Sorry if that's misspelled) I have a large box mod which I believe is called a God Mod which runs on (4) smaller batteries (I do not have that mod with me at the moment to tell you the specifics)

Yeah... what's the deal? Sounds like 2 different people.

And when you say you've smoked one or two cigs in your day. Is that literally 1 or 2 cigs, or is that just a funny way of saying you're a smoker. Its all a little confusing.

I mean I've literally only smoked 1 or 2 cigarettes in my life. Honestly I like to Vape for the buzz and calmness feeling. I don't find that feeling in a cigarette. I remember the second time I've had one I took extremely large hits and held them in for as long as I could and didn't even get a buzz...? Maybe that's not why people smoke? Ehh, anyway I found it to be a waste of time.

 

[Sir2fyablyNutz]

Personally I have taken my nic level from where it started DOWN to the 3 and zero nicotine I now enjoy. I can't imagine having any worthwhile advice for someone who went from 3mg to 24 looking for the "buzz". Vape isn't about the "buzz".

 

[Ablonz]

Ok, buzz and calmness feeling?!?!?! Like everything else, things must come to an end. Many people here do not vape for that reason as most are looking at reducing or eliminating the use of cigarettes. Sorry I can not help you in that area.

 

[ckquatt]

LOL! No. People don't smoke for the buzz... Youre confusing that with the other stuff...

In fact this whole thing is confused...

I look for that buzz and calm feeling for the fact that I used to smoke something illegal therefor I switched to vapor to cancel that factor of my life out. So far it has worked for (2) years and I just want to move up in nic. Level.

Like my dad always says, "Just be strong and say NO!" Yeah, still can't help except for the words of wisdom....

It was hard at first but eliquid really helped me satisfy my crave for (other).

What kind of hardware are you using? If it is still a ego and a clearomizer (maybe even a replaceable coil tank) I could see why you would keep increasing the nic. Have you tried an RDA (dripper)? If you used to be into the "illegal stuff" you probably like the deep lung hit, which a dripper with good airflow can provide. I doubt I could do 24mg on a daily basis with a proper RDA and more than 30 watts of power.

That's what I have is an RDA (dripper) I tried to send a pic but the file was too big to upload to this forum.

I doubt it but could it be the eliquid? The last (3) didn't satisfy to my own needs: (24mg Nitrous (house blend), 24mg Strawberry custard (house blend), Five Pawns 24mg Sixty-Four (Mixatogloy edition)

Please tell us about your coil and wicking setup.

Coil material, number of coils, wire size (gauge)
What ohms and resistance
Wicking material

Sometimes the build and wick choice make all the difference. I personally feel that 24mg is a little high for that setup. When at work I do not vape (personal choice) and after 8-9 hours when I do vape (6mg) it is definitely what I would consider a buzz and a bit harsh, but it generally subsides after a few minutes of vaping. If I tried 24mg in that same scenario I would probably get a headache.

I'm not the most highly skilled with the technical and mechanic part of the mods I own. Just how to take them apart, clean them. And put them together. I will do what I can to explain.

The wicking material (which I assume is the Cotten, maybe not.) is not normal Cotten. It's "premium" Cotten bought from the local Vape shop. I cannot give you specifics although the coil is made from a silver wire which is wrapped around (7) times in between the final coil wrap on either side. They're (2) coils. And I don't know exactly what the OHM and resistance is but I do remember is was pretty low. Maybe 0.2/0.3 or something if that rings a bell.
