Need a good hit but feeling woozy

[scotiwis]

Am on 18mg (using GS and also Ego-T) - am finding I need a substantial hit - ie long multiple vapes at once to get a maximum throat hit to feel the satisfaction comparable to being formerly on rollup tobacco. But feeling dizzy-ish, slightly sickly. So am guessing I might want to vape more - harder hits - with 12mg rather than vape less with 18mg. Would vaping more with 12mg actually satisfy the nicotine cravings - or am I best just going for gold on the 18mg for the first few weeks/months to get over the shock of no more tobacco after 26 years!!

Go with the 12mg. You don't want to OD on nicotine.

I'm still needing 24 mg after 9 months. It seems to satisfy me with fewer inhales. When I use 18, "I can't get no satisfaction" therefor I chain vape & feel woozy.

YMMV

Changing your setup. If your looking for throat hit. Add more nic. Change Pg/Vg levels of your juice. Try atomizers. Or cartos. Vaping more with less nic juice won't satisfy you. Trust me. I've been in your shoes

What seems to give me a good throat hit is a lower ohm rating on my cartomizer/atomizer. This gives me a hotter vape.
Currently I'm liking 1.7 ohm Smoketech cartomizer on my 3.7 volt Kgo.

See and I like standard ohm cartos and attys

You may just need a stronger flavored juice. For instance, I get a MUCH stronger throat hit with DeKang SEC/Kent at 12mg than I do with my wife's SI "Country" at 18mg. Also, higher PG content gives more TH and flavor. What juice are you vaping?
The tank systems like the eGo T are also notorious for muted flavor so you might try a 510 carto tank (it'll work on your eGo batt).

I've found with 16mg + I have to moderate my vapes or else I start getting that nicotine flush in the face. I've also tried 12mg and it's probably just right for me but I did order some 6mg as sometimes I just want to sit in front of the telly and vape for a couple of hours. Really depends on how you vape, if you are a hit-it-n-quit-it type then perhaps 16-18mg is good. If you want to sit and relax and just vape for awhile then definitely consider halving the nicotine amount. As for throat hit and taste I think that depends on the juice (flavor, PG/VG mix), the delivery method & battery.

when i started i was hammering 24 myself till the point of being dizzy most of the day(but i liked it lol). for about 2 1/2 - 3 weeks
now in the 18 - 14 range sometimes 12.
also if your needing to hit the device, for a double hit or more you may need to drop the resistance on the device a little so it gets a bit hotter (not much) and make a bit more vapor.

I started with 24mg juice and then recently went to nothing but 18mg. It's not enough for those hard times. My next order is gonna be all 24mg. With the 18mg I just vape till I can't breath then I light up a analog and think about the fact that I've gained nothing at all.

Hang in there, just work on smoking less finally manged to quit about 2 weeks but for the month prior i was down to only smoking at work because that was when i needed it and slowly began vaping more and smoking until i preferred vaping. Don't feel bad about smoking if you need one have one, don't beat yourself up about it, just give you self a pat on the back when you smoke less

When I started at 18mg it was too much so I mixed it half and half with 12mg. It worked for me at about 15 but now down to 12 all the time and working on 10.

I still smoke. I prefer vaping by all means but I have still yet to find my perfect setup. Well don't have the funds to try to find my perfect setup. But what I'm trying to say is don't get down on yourself. I'm in you same shoes. The wake up smoke and the go to bed smoke are the hardest for me to give up. Out of the regular cycle of smoking. As for stress instead of chain smoking. I just have one. And then chain vape. I've only smoked for around 8 years at 1.5 PPD. I don't know your length of time smoking or how many you smoke. But I feel your pain. And am here for your support

I've found that the PG/VG ratio has the most dramatic effect on throat hit for me. More PG, more throat hit.
