Hello.
I see I am now a 4 year member here, I have vaped before. I used to have a Cubiod 200 which I used previously, but it is big and doesn't fit in my pocket, and requires me to deal with individual batteries.
I have went back to smoking for a couple years, though not heavy smoking, like a pack a week, at most 2 at rare times. I still do not have a physical nicotine addiction/dependency and I'd like to keep it that way.
Recently, I have been looking after and improving my health, 4 months ago, I was pre-diabetic, and had high blood pressure, and was class 2 obese at 313lb, now I am 228.5lb, have a 124 BP, and an A1C of 5.3 in the normal/healthy range, so lots of improvements have been made. I am also training to be a runner, and to run a 5k end of October.
As part off being healthier, I no longer wish to smoke, and even things like tea/herbal cigarettes probably are not much better than tobacco cigarettes in terms of that.
I really only have the habit and oral fixation, and feel of inhaling/exhaling that I like / find hard to break. I've tried replacing it by sipping on diet coke, but carrying a 2 liter bottler of diet coke around with me kind of sucks, and there is no inhale/exhale to it, so doesn't really work as a good alternative.
I bought a Uwell Cozi last morning, because unlike the Cubiod 200, it is far more convenient, USB C fast charging, no individual batteries, is small and fits nicely in my pocket, is user refillable, and has a larger 6ml capacity than a lot of the other pod systems I saw at the store, which were only 2ml.
I wanted to get out a vaping again right out of the store, but they had no 0 nic juices, so I just went with the lowest concentration they had, which was 10mg, sweet tobacco flavor. I am still on that first fill, so there's the vast majority of the bottle left.
Now I have 2 questions about making my own juice, which is why I am posting this here:
1. If I wanted to dilute the juice to reduce the amount of nicotine per fill/draw, should I stick with a dilution involving 50/50 vg/pg since it is a 50/50 juice? (I do have PG and VG already at home, because I did try making my own juice once already, but it was unflavored and with no nicotine).
2. I'm going to want to start making my own flavored juice, the thing is, I like strong flavors, maybe even very strong flavors, none of the pre-made juices I have ever tried, meet that mark. For someone like me with my preference for very strong flavor, maybe I should try twice the recommend amount of flavoring to start out with and adjust from there, or what would you suggest?
Relatedly, the Cozi claims it can go up to 25 watts, but would it be safe to go to it's maximum, or should I maybe stick at something like 23 or 22 just to be safe? I'd like to go as high as possible, as I hear the higher/warmer the more flavor (I may be wrong).
