So I've been vapin for a little over a month and everything more than gravy.. except when I first started, I was on 11mg which got me very decently buzzed.. Eventually I had to switch over to 18mg cuz 11 wasn't doing anything for me nemore.. Now I'm at 24mg and it doesnt' seem to be giving me much of a buzz nemore.. This happen to neone else?? I thought maybe my juices got too much sunlight and lost the nic content but the flavors are still there.. I also bought new liquid but I feel like the nicotine isn't hitting me nemore.. I really dont' wanna go up to 36mg.. If nething, I wanna gradually reduce nic content like most people on here but it aint' workin for me..:(

I started vaping at 24mg which is where i stay at... i never gotten a "buzz" from it just satisfies my nic craving. I have even done 36mg and it does not give me a "buzz" i seen others talk about it but i have never experienced it myself. I think when people say "buzz feeling" i amuse they are talking about a situation where say you having "smoked" in say a week then you get a good strong hit and it gives you that light headed feeling? iam not sure i have only experienced this on analogs myself never from vaping

It's funny, I started at a low, low nic level as well.
I bought all these high nic juices and then had to buy 0 nic juices to cut it.
It felt like I was vaping acid, it massively burned my mouth and throat.
And I was a 2 pack a day smoker!
I have since gotten used to vaping and have settled on 24mg juice.
Vaping though won't give you the immediate 'hit' like an analog, it is more of a gradual buildup of Nic in your system.
There was a post here about when you burn an analog it is like nicotine crack, vaping is not that way.
I have never gotten the 'buzz' either though, when I first started, I got headaches due to me vaping too much, have since cut down on my frequency and all is good.

agreed^^ You shouldnt be looking for the buzz if you want to lower your nicotine consumption...Everyones different though..if you were just looking to quit smoking and wanted the buzz i would say go to a higher nicotine dosage...But if you want to lower the amount tht your taking in i would suggest taking in just enough to satisfy the craving..You body becomes resistant to any type of drug after a while..Which is why most people start smoking 5-10 cigarettes a day and getting a buzz everytime they light one up to having to smoke 2 packs a day and never feeling lightheaded...There are other alkaloids in cigarette smoke that are not available in vaping which might be why your not getting the same exact feeling..plus a cigarette hit offers a faster and larger dose of nictine than vaping...Vapor is not as efficient at getting nicotine alkaloids into the blood stream which is why the concentration of nicotine in the liquids we vape are so high...Lets take 24mg/ml liquid...if you vape an entire ml in one sitting you will probably see less than 30% of that in your blood stream...On average, a cigarette delivers about 4mg of nicotine per cigarette...but wat you forget is that there are other chemicals in that cigarette that your body is used to...I find that i get a calming affect after a good amount of vaping but up until that point i find it gives me an excitatory effect...which is probably due to the other alkaloids that are not present in the nicotine liquid...I only vape until the calming affect is reached and then i stop...

Now im not encouraging the use of tobacco products but ive heard that the snus packets and similar products can help with really bad cravings(by providing those extra alkaloids) that vaping doesnt help and if it prevents a person from smoking an analogue or continuing to increase their nicotine consumption then i said go ahead!!

Hope this helped!
