Left...now I’m back!

[greghemmings]

Hello all!

I started vaping in 2011 and stopped in 2014. Now I am back vaping after seeing all the amazing improvements in gear and e-liquids. I’m using an Aegis Mini 80 watt with Falcon coils and finding it quite delightful! I went through the whole high power mod, coil building thing but now just want simple with great flavor and clouds! I am going to try the Mr Salt-E liquid at 25mg as it’s supposed to more closely mimic a real smoking experi. Have any of you tried the salt liquids? If so, what do you think?

Welcome back!

I DIY'd with salts until I stopped using nicotine last year, and my husband is still vaping with salt nic...

I find them very easy on the throat - especially after smoking for 3+ decades - which is a godsend!

Nice to have you back on the forums again!

That’s what I was hoping to hear! I’ve smoked Newport’s for years and never could get enough nic without that awful throat burn!

I like menthol, but custards and desserts are my favorites!

You know, my grandfather was born in Glasgow. My middle name is Campbell, in elementary school I got all kinds of remarks about that..

Nicotine salts are like vaping freebase, but without the throat hit.

IF you dose yourself very high it MAY be more like smoking IDK. I mean, you'll get a strong nicotine hit. If that's your thing. Works for many.

But it's still vaping and vape is in no way similar to smoke. Smoke is not obtainable in the vape format I guess you could get that Philip Morris heat not burn thing, that may be kind of grosser and more like smoking.

But, it's still not like smoking.

Smoking is like smoking.

Vaping is like vaping.

If someone ever finds a way AROUND that I would like to be the first to know. Because... I'm not ashamed to say that I still miss smoking on occasion. I just choose not to smoke.

I also still miss drinking vodka on occasion.... I simply choose not to drink it. A Shirley Temple is in no way similar to drinking a shot of vodka but they are still both "bar drinks." Etc.

I got all hopped up on the liquor flavors bit for a while, and they're nice and all, but they are ALSO nothing like drinking cheap vodka under the bleachers with your high school pals.

Some things... are.

Welcome and glad you joined.
Go for it, never made it to salts. Gave up nic before they had salts.

could you explain me a bit more about that? i feel it contrary, but totally interested to understand your point there....

 

[Falconeer]

Welcome back.

Yup I tried a lot of devices systems etc but in the end came back to simple tanks with drop in coils. Sometimes simple systems just work.

Good luck this time round!

Nicotine is what delivers the "throat hit". Nic salts can deliver more nicotine per draw, but in order to do that it has been formulated so that it is smoother and less harsh, otherwise you probably would not be able to vape it.

Nic salt question

Welcome back. I have an Aegis Mini as well, solid little device.

Nic salt question

well, i didnt got the point, i feel a bit more agresive nic salts compared to freebase, also as far as i know, salt nics are low power and high ohm, contrary what most people advise to be used in subohm tanks...

Nicotine concentration in sub-ohm vaping is generally lowered by half because sub-ohm tanks generally put out twice the vapor of a non-sub ohm tank. So they put out roughly twice the nicotine per draw.

Nic salts have been chemically modified to be less harsh, so have less of a throat hit. That's about it in a nutshell.

a lot of great questions and good advice. doesn't this thread need comic relief?
