Yup it's partly due to drinking coffee a little too far into the evening sometimes too. :facepalm:

I've only had one cup of coffee today though and that was about 3pm so if I don't vape myself silly tonight I might actually get a decent night's sleep. It's really weird the last couple nights I've been sleeping 2-3 hours at a time then waking up after some really weird and very vivid dreams. I think I've read somewhere this is an effect of too much nicotine. Ideally the schedule I'd like to have is go to sleep at about 2am and sleep soundly till 10am like I used to.

Hey! wow, I just realized when my sleep started getting all out of whack. It was right after I got my VV mod and started vaping at a higher wattage. I bet it delivers the nicotine more efficiently and I know I go through a tank full faster. Yup I for sure got to drop the nicotine level.

I usually don't remember my dreams. ever. not for more than the time to say WTPh? and laugh.

I got intense vivid dreams on the patch and really appreciated them because I'm 25 years sober.

OK....what is this new avi?!?

You can't tell! lmao... And just FYI, that outfit I am wearing is NOT just a Halloween Costume! :D I just felt, being the month of Oct, that I would put it up, might change it in a few day or sooner, but then again maybe not! Oh, and the sword and the Sai's are real.

This sounds similar to my experience and vaping. I've already switched to 6mg or 0mg at night, and it makes a big difference with getting better sleep for me. Changing to 6mg juice at night is worth a try, IMO.

Me, too.
I couldn't figure it out for a while. But now, I know, if I vape <6 mg from 4 PM on my sleep is okay.

When I asked, I thought you would have a fun story behind the pic :) I wouldn't have guessed you were a Ninja :thumb:

No, sorry no funny story behind it. It was just a Halloween Party, I did get totally smashed though. I've been in Martial Arts since I was 11 years old, studied 5 different styles over the years and taught for about 7 years. However we had stopped at another place for a few hours and went to leave and the car wouldn't start so I had my ex-girl friend take the sword and when I went to hand it to her she grabbed the sword by the handle and pulled it out of the scabbard and the blade slid right across my middle left hand finger and almost totally severed the tendon, took years before I was able to get the tip of my finger as the first joint to straighten out, it still is slightly bent, but glad it didn't totally severe the entire tendon would have to have had surgery to put it back together. :unsure:

I started at 18mg and quickly went down to 12mg it was slightly too high to start with I think I might make my next order in all 6mg. I think I am more addicted to the act of vaping than the nicotine. Also I tend to chain vape in the evening and I think it's been screwing with my sleep somewhat. I still have enough 12mg juice to last me 2-3 months so maybe I'll do the 6mg in the evenings for awhile and very slowly transition to all 6mg.

I sleep weird too, and can tell moreso at night that i've vaped wayyy too much lol

Let me ask you this stone, do you feel like you lack the nicotine then at night? I'm still in the phase(which i feel will probably never go away) of still strongly desiring the nicotine, and vaping as much as i can handle to make sure i feel that same feel i did with cigarettes. If that makes sense.

Honestly, I don't crave nicotine near as much now that I'm vaping. I'm not sure why, and I didn't expect it. I'm starting to wonder if there is something in tobacco smoke that makes the cravings worse because I don't "need" nicotine as much when I'm vaping. I can go hours without the anxiety that I used to get as a smoker when I couldn't go for a stinky. Of course, I do vape somewhere between 3ml and 6ml a day, and at varying levels of nic. Most of the time at night, I am vaping at more or less the same rate as during the day but with a lower nic level juice. I don't feel nic deprived, and I haven't tried to cut back. I have felt that vaping is a positive step in my health, so I haven't felt pressured to quit vaping or to cut down on nic. It's more a response to what seems to be working well for me, if that makes sense. YMMV :)

Looks like we vape roughly around the same amount I'd say I average about 4-6ml and occasionally up to 7 like on weekends. I am finding that when I'm busy like at school tonight I was just welding away for almost 3 hours without vaping and didn't even think about it. Oh and yup I just woke up after about 3 hours of sleep. The funny thing this time though is I didn't hardly vape for an hour before I went to sleep and no weird dreams. I think I'm awake now more because I got myself stuck in this routine. Oh well I'll go back to sleep in awhile all good.

sorry if this a repeat answer.....haven't read through all the posts, but do you shake the bottles really well before each time you use them? that's a must do incase you aren't. :)

When I first got it, all I tasted was sweet potent substance, with some mint. After two weeks steeping it's less potent and I can taste blueberry but it's quite mute. It smells like a whole bunch of fruits though. I like a lot of menthol and thug juice is better for me, but still not a lot of menthol. I feel like the longer it steeps, the less potent it gets.

I don't know how anyone vapes 18mg. or higher!! I started at 18 and got so sick! Seriously.....I would be up all night!!....oh, wait! I'm on 6mg. and STILL up all night.....look at the time! It's friggen 5:30am here and I'm still up!!! I'm just a little cra cra.....insane year for me!....anyway, Terre, I bet you could step it down to 12 after being on 18 for 6 months.

I'm the same way. I am on 18mg. Started at 24 and moved down after 3 months. Been at 18 for 6 months now. Every once and a white I accidentally will grab my hubby's his is 36 and wowzers!!!

I've gotten used to the protank2 and like it....got an IBTanked in yesterday and that's thick glass. I'll try that later today. I still love a warm top wicked tank though, and still use my metal mini vivi novas all the time. They just have great taste and look cool, but I think I'm the only one around here who even uses them. Easy rebuild on the heads too! The only plastic I use at all anymore is polypropylene as opposed polycarb.....it's crack proof and gives a nice vape....comes in pretty colors too.

I just got an Innokin SVD that came with iClear 30 tanks, and I feel it provides a more consistent vape over my Mini Protanks with more flavor on the exhale. It could just be in my head, and to be fair I haven't done a whole lot of vaping with the Protanks since receiving the new unit because I prefer the tighter draw from the iClears. Maybe I'll get a Protank 2 just so that I don't have to worry - then I'll have 3 Pyrex tanks and 2 plastic ones for "less hazardous" flavors, haha.

The apple I'm vaping is from a Canadian vendor. It's a decent vape, but red apple sounds like it could be worth a shot; add another to the future order list.

That's ok...you can blame me.....My second mini, a red one, should ship out tomorrow. I'll admit it...I'm a bad influence!! But...I did a good thing for someone else....I ordered really cool matching retro VW t-shirts for my son and 3 yr. old grandson....they like to look alike when they're out skate boarding (my son), and razor scootering (my grandson). They will be happy to get presents in the mail!! Is this like my 10th post in a row now or something?? And I promised myself I would TRY to get to bed by 3am...that didn't work out too well. Oy...I'm gonna look at this tomorrow and feel really foolish....



So I figured with all this fantastic juice, I should get something fancier than a twist to vape with...went to the dark side and ordered my Provari Mini yesterday morning. It was shipped in the afternoon and I'm expecting it to arrive tomorrow. So freaking excited!

PS. I blame you Roonies. Lol
