Juice Strong ????? Help/ New to vaping .

[clayU]

I started vaping a few days ago I was smoking a pack a day . I am using a basic ego style I was told to go with the 24 and then the lady at the store said to buy a zero also and mix them . I was smoking maybe 5 cigs a day and vaping . started getting chest pain after I started vaping manly . I do have a physical job so I do get tightness in my chest on the left side sometimes. is the juice I am vaping to high ? I am vaping to much ? what is the real design just a couple of puffs every hour or so ??????? now I have stopped vaping and on I am smoking half a pack a day . Thanks

you should work your way down with the nicotine level. maybe that will help. =D

5 cigarettes a day? If you only smoked 5 cigs a day, you are over-nic-ing yourself. Even if you smoked FULL FLAVOR, I can't imagine that you would be vaping anything over about 6mg-10mg.

edit: oh, I see you WERE smoking a PAD. What kind?

When I was a newbie myself I introduced 2 newbies who neglected to tell me what they smoked. They just said pack a day. Turns out it was ultra lights. I gave them 18mg to try and they both almost passed out.

We brought it down to 6mg and it was fine.

Learned my lesson. One of them almost threw up. I felt bad.

I am the opposite of what many others say, I am less is more. I think people should only vape the level nic that will get the job done. There is no use in going over that, not even by a little bit, since it really is uncomfortable.

I started out at 18mg since I smoked PAD.......and I was miserable for over a month, jumpy, couldn't sleep, etc. I thought it was from quitting smoking.

It wasn't.

My nic was too high. Soembody helped me in PMs and we put me at about 14mg and I was able to enjoy vaping.

Could be but I currently vape 24 and 18mg and dont have an issue with that unless I vape and vape and vape and if I do its more just a upset stomach. What I did notice when I started is some flavors gave me something like what you are describing. I realy enjoyed a red hot cinnamon flavor I found (apparently a tank cracking flavor but no issues in the ego I had) but vaping it gave me a sore throat and what I would have to say was very tight weezy painful chest and lungs like an asthma attack. I switched to other flavors or dilluted the cinnamon and no more issues. Now I would say I do 3-6ml of 18-24mg a day and no issues. I was a .5-1 pack a day smoker. Thats just my experience everyones tolerance and physiology is different though.

Try diluting or another brand or flavor, some people are also sensitive to pg in the juice as well.

Good luck im sure others will have some thoughts as well.

You are inhaling into your lungs aren't you? Try taking the vapor into your mouth and then exhaling it through your mouth. You don't need the lung inhale, that has been the most difficult thing for me to learn. Most of the nicotine is absorbed through your mouth and nasal passages.

I had to go find the link, it is was in the section at the top of the new members forum- http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/ecf-library/337017-inhalation-technique-e-cigarette.html

sorry, like I said I am new to vaping . how should / how does every one vap ? couple puffs a hour or so ? or like 10 puffs like a cig ?

It really isn't a matter of how much, it is just HOW you vape. Read the link I put in my second post, that should help.

As for how much, it is however much you feel you need to. I started with 36mg juice, and vaped pretty much about 3/4 the time I spent smoking analogs. Now I have dropped down to 24mg for the most part and when I am not at work I vape more. When I get irritable, I vape and it goes away.

Different people do it different ways. Some people will puff all day long, and some take a few drags here and there. If someone is an all day vaper, they sometimes have to lower their nicotine more than someone who just puffs in cigarette like sessions.

I will think about cutting the nic way down and just vaping
