It's more like hookah, if you've ever tried that. There are so many ways to do it. If you play around with PG/VG ratios you can make monster clouds of vapor to play around with. It's kind of a balancing act between getting nicotine in vs. chain vaping. If you like the act of inhaling a lot, then lower your nic mg. If you just want to take a few hits, get buzzed, and walk away, you can go higher on the nic mg. Consider tonight a first experiment. LOL. You'll get it :)

Plain VG can be purchased at Walmart or CVS as Glycerin USP. Normally found in the skincare section. It is fairly thick as packaged; best to dilute it a little with a bit of distilled water or vodka/grain alcohol to a consistency similar to the juice you are using. Then you can add it to your ejuice to lower the nic level. I had to do this for the first week or so that I started vaping until I got used to it; otherwise headspinning buzz that I did not care for.
 
This is good info to know, I only ordered my PV yesterday (hopefully it will arrive today!) so knowing what to look out for at first is a good thing. I'm probably in a slightly different boat than most people here in that I quit 3 years ago, but recently have started going out again and find I cannot resist smoking while at a pub/club and was looking into alternatives... there is another ulterior motive but I won't go into that right now :s

Based on the advice in this thread I think I will start with the lowest strength cart and see how that goes... I was planning on starting on the strongest.

If you are going to order prefilleds, I would recommend a couple of each strength to start and find what works for you. If you are ordering liquid and unsure how strong you need, get 2 bottles; one strong and one no nic. This way you can mix the two to adjust your nic level to what is good for you.

is there anyway to do this with the bloog carts? if so..how much do i dilute it with? how many drops do i put in the cart? do i need to buy something to stick it in there? sigh sorry for the questions but i really dont see a guide for this

Definitely sounds like Nicotine poisoning. I've had it a few times in the past after smoking way too much, and hitting the hookah at the same time while drinking. Drink tons of water, and Ginger Ale has worked wonders for me in the past to reduce nausea, if you like that stuff. Ginger anything helps really, ginger cookies, etc.

It seems odd the OD would be from the pv, that's not a very high strength. Although you were smoking light cigarettes before, so maybe you just aren't as used to Nicotine as you thought you were.

You shouldn't have any problem using it in the future, I'm thinking your chain smoking of your remaining cigarettes was a huge factor in this. You could always get a lower nicotine juice, but unless you go crazy chain-vaping the current strength shouldn't be an issue. I chain-vape 24mg and 26mg juice, and the worst I get is a slight headache after an hour or so. But I did smoke Turkish Royals and Wides, so I wasn't a light smoker.

Good luck, hope you feel better, and stay strong resisting the urge to smoke ciggs!
16mg may just be overkill since the OP was smoking "lights"...i was smoking reg 100's and i'm using 11mg and even though i'm vaping more the experience, taste & nic is perfect for me. sometimes less IS more :D

LOL...sorry but I OD'ed when I first started vaping also. You need to lower your nic if you're going to hit on it all the time. Drink tons of water...more than you normally do. I can't drink plain water so I buy water mixes from wal-mart. If lowering your nic level doesn't work and you're still suffering from headaches and what not, you need to use a higher level of VG in your juice. It can also be an allergy to VG.
Decaf iced tea works good as well if you don't like just plain water :D it's the caffeine in drinks that make it unsuitable for "re-hydrating" since caffeine has diuretic properties/effects.

also you can find VG in the baking section in craft stores (or possibly in Wally World, etc.) anywhere they sell Wilton baking/decorating stuff. it's used for making the "gel" type of icing, etc. (my wife picked mine up at a Joann's when she was out buying more decorating supplies :D)

cus i think the problem was ...my lungs are kinda weak..so i was tryin to take huge rips to replicate analog smoke...ended up inhaling way more than i do a regular cig...

is there any ecigs where i can jus inhale like a cigarette where i dont have to suck super hard? i was reading the bloog is the closest

I started vaping with a Bloog one month ago. I was also having difficulty trying to figure out how to get it to hit like a cigarette. I felt like I was sucking my lungs out, the muscles in my neck actually hurt from sucking so hard. I was kinda disappointed with it, so much that I bought a GoGo one week into it. The GoGo is a manual battery and it was much easier to hit, but I didn't want to give up on the Bloogs so I kept trying with it. About a week after I bought the GoGo I put it down and now all I use is the Bloog. The key is slow steady drawls, like you're sucking soda through a straw, but you only want a sip of soda, not a mouthful. Sucking like you've got a milkshake is actually counter productive and you'll end up less satisfied.

As far as adding VG to a Bloog carto, that's probably not going to give you the experience you're looking for. You can order some blank cartos and fill your own with a mix of PG/VG juice. I find that an 80/20 PG/VG ratio works really well in the Bloog cartos. I was a pack and a half a day lights smoker and I chain vape 6mg juice. There's not much TH at 6mg, so 11mg might be better for you if you want TH. You can always set the pre filled cartos you purchased aside, for those times when you're having a serious nic fit. Like when you first wake up in the morning. Then switch to a lower nic level for chain vaping. Once you finish a pre filled carto, you can set it aside to refill with your own juice.

I'm so glad you're starting to get the hang of it. It really is different than inhaling cigarettes. I, too, hyperventilated when I started. The drinking straw analogy is good - think soda not milkshake. Also, the buzz takes a minute to kick in, not seconds like a cigarette. If I remember right, it is one of the 3,997 chemicals in cigarettes that rips the cilia in your lungs open to get the nicotine in faster - ammonia, fiberglass, I don't remember.
Moral is, be patient before you milkshake the thing dry. The nicotine will get in and you will be satisfied.
Bloog cartomizers are easy to refill. Find a juice vendor on this site and buy some flavors you like. There are 3 things to consider: nicotine mg levels, PG for satisfying harsh throat hit needs, VG levels for stronger flavor and thicker creamier vapor.
Sticking with pre filled cartomizers leaves most of us wanting. Also, it gets expensive and limits you to the flavors they have.
