Little Confused

[SpookshowBaby]

I have been looking at some sites for e-liquid and ive noticed some things. i understand the VG and PG when it comes to buying it, but what i see on some and not other others is the nic content. some sites/flavors ask what nic content you want and some do not. now the ones that dont, am i to assume they just dont have any or dont offer any? and if thats the case... what do i d!? i have no idea how to do any of the diy stuff yet.... eek... im new to vaping youre not shocked are you? lol

 

[Kable]

Hmm, I haven't seen any sites where nic content isn't shown. Do you have links? Maybe someone will know more about the vendors you're looking at.

 

[gthompson]

I wouldn't buy from a vendor that doesn't show nic.

oh geez, ive looked at so many sites that i cant remember which were which.... should i just stay away from ones that dont ask then? also with this site: Aroma Ejuice Manufacturer of WTA Whole Tobacco Alkaloid Eliquid these are tabacco alkaloid eliquids... so it doesnt ask for a variable in nic, i would assume thats becuase its a tabaccoo alkaloid and its the nic level in tabacco as is? i just want to make sure im understanding all these things properly...

 

[SpookshowBaby]

gthompson, thanks thats what i was thinking, i just happened to be writing my post when you posted yours!

 

[gthompson]

Do you understand what WTA is?

 

[SpookshowBaby]

Do you understand what WTA is?

yes, that i do understand. im no dummy so i am catching on to these things pretty well.

 

[gthompson]

I didn't mean to infer you were a dummy. Lots of folks don't know what WTA is. I didn't realize Aroma doesn't list nic content. They're a good vendor.

 

[SpookshowBaby]

lol. no i know you didnt. i literally just starting venturing into all of this yesterday though. i was looking into aroma and i think i may get some stuff from them, since i am JUST transitioning off analogs.... i feel strange calling them "analogs". but im trying to ease into the lingo lol

 

[gthompson]

It's OK to call them cigarettes.

 

[SpookshowBaby]

so why in the world are they called "analogs" anyway? since "analog" means "continuous flow of signal"....

 

[gthompson]

I dunno, someone here called them that at some point and it stuck. You'll see "stinkies", and "nasties", and "deathsticks" and other fond terms too.

 

[SpookshowBaby]

oh ok lol!

Spooks....I have been vaping for going on 2 years and still dont understand everything. Soon as I think "I've got it" then I realize I dont. Im still learning and Im slow. Might be my age. I think younger people like yourself picks up on things faster.

electronic (digital ) cigarettes

vs

tobacco (analog) cigarettes

Sorry to wade in here but I looked at the website you mentioned and it appears they call nic level 'dosage'... 555 State Express Ejuice Ecig E-Cigarette Refill

Also, my theory on why they're called analogues is because electric cigs are all kinda digital, what with there being a battery... could be wrong but it worked in my head... Prior to learning about vaping, I called them 'cigs', 'rollies' (I rolled my own) or 'fags' (its a British thing with no negative connotations aimed at specific people etc, it's just something we call cigarettes- just thought I'd add that in to avoid confusion!). The longer I'm off them though, the more I think 'stinkies' is appropriate!x

The ones I looked at on that site all gave the choice of 12mg or 24mg.......

Think clocks/watches.

An analog clock is "old school", with hands that point to numbers. I worked in a middle school and at least 90% of those kids couldn't tell time on an analog clock. They've had digital clocks their whole lives.

the problem is you have to choose the size you want then you can choose the nic level you desire (from the aroma site) some sites do this as thier inventory changes i have seen many sites like that and sometimes you will find the best flavors are sold out and they only have zero nic but the first time i came acrost this type of thing it threw me off too because i normally check to see what nic level they have first before size idk why but when i came acrost this sort of site it got me a little too
so just chose bottle size then nic level and yes that site you posted has nic levels of 12 and 24 which are about the 2 most common choices
