Story time first; skip to the second paragraph for the question. I paid a visit to my local vape shop the other day with the intention of buying an Innokin 134 Mini. It was not meant to be though as the guy on staff that day talked me into a mechanical mod and an RBA. It has been something I was unsure of in the past, but I have always been envious of those giant clouds I see on YouTube. Smoking has always been a novelty for me. I got into e-cigs for the flavors and convenience; I have never been a cigarette smoker. I also own a hookah that is now collecting dust because I prefer the convenience of e-cigs. The one thing I missed about my hookah though is the CLOUDS. When this guy at the vape shop whipped out his mechanical, took a draw and proceeded to blow out a giant nimbus cloud, my eyes went wide and I said one thing: "Teach me." So he set me up with a pretty looking mechanical mod, an IGO-W3, some 30G kanthal wire, and told me to pick up some peaches and cream cotton from Walmart. I go to pick out an e-liquid, because I can never resist getting some when I am there. I picked out some Uncle Junk's Genius juice: Savannah. The guy asks me what strength I want it in and I request 18mg. The dude laughs and says "Oh no! You don't want that." And he suggests I go with 6mg or 0mg. I believed him, I mean the guy has sounded pretty knowledgeable up to this point. I picked up the 6mg. Which leads into my question:
Why does the vapor from my mechanical mod and RBA kick my ...!? I am riding a gnarly head buzz typing this up. I usually go with 18mg when I buy e-liquid, and I have never caught a nic buzz off that. At least not anything close to this. And for those of you who are perhaps familiar with Tangiers and the shisha tobacco they produce: I used to smoke that regularly out of my hookah. For those of you who are not familiar, Tangiers is known for making shisha that will knock a less seasoned hookah smoker on their .... Also made me cough more than once chasing after those giant clouds, which is less surprising because the vapor is noticeably warmer and harsher so I except more throat hit, but I didn't expect THAT much more of a throat hit. So who knows the scientific reason behind this, because the fact that the vapor is warmer doesn't explain to me why it is making my head feel warm and fuzzy. I might go with 0mg next time so I don't have to take as many breaks chasing those clouds.
