Morning all!

[Cyruz]

Had a couple of friends start using e-cig's instead of regular fags. Needless to say I geeked out and searched around instead of buying any old random crap. Ended up with a Titan E-NI 510, which from reading on here is the same as the Joytech one? So far I'm happy with it, I smoke quite heavily, I roll my own and drop filters in and generally smoke about 120/140 a week. As I'm sure with most people on here, I didn't want to quit smoking, I just didn't want to die...
So I made the move today, so far so good. I wouldn't say I don't want a smoke but the 510 is defiantly helping loads.
*Pauses for a vape*
The only thing that worries me is the amount I use it! I've had it about nine hours and I've been through 4 carts, although these have all been medium/low. I'm hoping I can kinda back off a bit with high carts as it'll get expensive quickly otherwise!
So I'm rambling, nicotine overdose me thinks

 

[Cicatrize]

Welcome! The novelty of it should wear off eventually, but naturally, you're going to vape more than you used to smoke since you definitely feel better about it! lol

I would recommend 24mg liquid for someone coming right off of smoking cigs, or else you probably won't be satisfied. You should be able to work down to 18mg fairly easily and stay there.

Good luck!

 

[Wireguy]

You might want to by liquid and refill your carts. Should be cheaper.

120/140 what a week? ml?

Sounds a tad much from what I read..... but I have no experience yet to compare to!

Congrats on making the switch!!!

what mg are you using?

 

[Cyruz]

Cheers for the input! I know I've used way to much nicotine today but it's helping me leave the fags so I'm happy! Is two high carts a day a good amount for someone coming off 20 smokes. Can you just refill the pre-filled carts that came with it or do I need "special" ones.

 

[Chrissie]

Hello & welcome to the forum & vaping Cyruz

As Wireguy says, refilling your cartridges with juice will work out a lot cheaper

 

[Chrissie]

Yes, you can refill the pre-filled cartridges.

 

[Cyruz]

Soz Milano, I posted as you did.

I smoked around 120/140 fags a week. The pack came with some low and medium carts. I've been smoking the weaker ones first so I can vape more.

Today I've had like 56mg's of nicotine, it's a hell of a rush

If you have vaped 4 low nic carts, it's no where near 56mg! Off to try & find a chart for you

 

[Cyruz]

Thank you sir, it's very confusing as everyone seems to have different mg's in their pre-filled stuff!

If it helps it was from the theelectroniccigarette.co.uk.

I smoked 1x Low, 3x Med & 1x High... but there are still a good few hours left

 

[monkeyuk]

If you decide to make your own juice, keep us informed as to whats good in the uk, as will i lol. I am new too and haven't made the transition from the prefilled carts to making my own (all seems a lot of hassle and potentially messy too!) but i am sure i will soon. From what ive heard Ecopure is supposed to be a good juice to try.
Anyway good for you for discovering ecigs and as you said not wanting to quit but not wanting to die either!

 

[Cyruz]

I'm going to try 30ML Totally Wicked Electronic Cigarette E-Liquid from theelectroniccigarette.co.uk and I'll report back. This whole filling process isn't foreign to me as I have loads of zippos that need refilling constantly.

 

[Chrissie]

Here you go Cyruz :- (It's yonks since I bought prefilled carts though so can't remember how many ml's are in them)

Cigarettes you smoke and Juice strenght to order.

20 Cigarettes 0.09mg nic = 18 mg Nic per day - you need 1ml 18 mg Juice or 2 ml of 9 mg juice

20 Cigarettes 0.08mg nic = 16 mg Nic per day - you need 1ml 16 mg Juice or 2 ml of 8 mg juice

20 Cigarettes 0.07mg nic = 14 mg Nic per day - you need 1ml 14 mg Juice or 2 ml of 7 mg juice

20 Cigarettes 0.06mg nic = 12 mg Nic per day - you need 1ml 12 mg Juice or 2 ml of 6 mg juice

20 Cigarettes 0.05mg nic = 10 mg Nic per day - you need 1ml 10 mg Juice or 2 ml of 5 mg juice

30 Cigarettes 0.09 mg nic = 27 mg Nic per day - you need 1ml 27 mg Juice or 2 ml of 13.5 mg juice

30 Cigarettes 0.08 mg nic = 24 mg Nic per day - you need 1ml 24 mg Juice or 2 ml of 12 mg juice

30 Cigarettes 0.07 mg nic = 21 mg Nic per day - you need 1ml 21 mg Juice or 2 ml of 10.5 mg juice

30 Cigarettes 0.05mg nic = 15 mg Nic per day - you need 1ml 15 mg Juice or 2 ml of 7.5 mg juice

40 Cigarettes 0.07mg nic = 28 mg Nic per day - you need 1ml 28 mg Juice or 2 ml of 14 mg juice

40 Cigarettes 0.06 mg nic = 24 mg Nic per day - you need 1ml 24 mg Juice or 2 ml of 12 mg juice

40 Cigarettes 0.05mg nic = 21 mg Nic per day - you need 1ml 21 mg Juice or 2 ml of 10.5 mg juice

Most people end up vaping 2ml juice per day so you are better aiming low than high.

 

[Cyruz]

I'm glad you added that last statement as I was thinking I better aim higher for a while to ween myself off. I'll try rocking a low amount of high carts for a while and drop it down bit by bit.

Tempted to get some flavoured 0mg juice for vaping for fun

Cyruz, if you want to try "vaping for fun" or just reducing the nic content of your carts/eliquid, buy some glycerine. You can get a 30ml bottle from most supermarkets (in the baking section, next to food flavourings) for about 45p or a 100ml bottle from a chemist for just over £1.00

 

[monkeyuk]

Thanks for the link Chrissie i will have a gander.....all still new and overwhelming at the mo lol.

 

[Chrissie]

Monkey, it can be very overwhelming to begin with but it does get so much easier with practice

 

[Cyruz]

Still going strong, it's defiantly not removed my want for a real smoke, but I'm not climbing the walls or being an .......

I do only have two carts left, so I hope to god my e-liquid turns up tomorrow or I'll be having a smoke in the morning, which I'd rather avoid...

Chrissie: I'm smoking about 5 carts a day, I get the whole ml/mg's part but how does that translate down in to carts? 510's take like eight drops per cart, is that 1ml?

 

[Swipple]

Cyruz I am right there with you, I smoked 20-30 cigarettes a day and am trying to figure out dosage with nic-juice. I have the DSE 901 and a 30 ml bottle of 18mg juice. I am refilling the carts (so not a big deal) but only getting 3-4 sometimes 5 drops at a time and do not have any tools to identify the volume measurement. Anyway good luck and welcome to the club.
