I am a heavy smoker and recently just switched to Relx. Today is my 6th day trying e-cigarette and i totally could not accept this as the replacement to cigarette. It could not crave my nicotine urge at all. I am uisng 5% nicotine pod. I had tried stronger pull and taking more puff but no feeling of pleasure at all. Can some one introduce any good e-cigarette that are stronger in nicotine and have similar pleasure like smoking? The reason i switched from smoking cigarette to e-cigarette mainly because of tar and others chemical found in cigarette. I still need nicotine to cool down my brain. I knew nicotine is addictive and harmful too but i can accept it.

Hello and welcome to ECF. I'm sorry to hear you are not getting any relief from your pod system. I had to do a search of Google to read about it. I was unable to see the nicotine levels in any of the pods. It does say that is high-quality nic salts. I hate to admit that I am not as up on the new pod systems as I could be. We do have a section that is specific for pod systems so you may want to check there and see what others are using. Good luck on your new vaping lifestyle. I hope you find a solution and hope to see you around.

5% is plenty of nic. What you may need is a more powerful device to deliver it.
Absolutely agree with this. For me vaping was much more satisfying with higher power and vapor production. Good luck to you, and great job coming here for a solution :thumb:

Which are the most powerful devices? Can recommend any brands ? I am new in e-cigarette, or it is vape can't compare to cigarette? Thanks
Vaping can be just as satisfying (or in my case more) than smoking. We just need to find you the right set up. My vaping devices are all over the map so I’m going to let someone else give you suggestions for what to try. I’m sure someone will be along soon. Hang in there!

Welcome to ecf.

It would be most helpful first, if you can tell us what country you are in? This can better help us to direct what may be available to you. Personally, I have often wondered how pods can really get people off of cigarettes as I have tried a JUUL and it was totally awful, imo.

I use a variety of different styles of mods and rebuildable tanks but there are also lots of drop in coils these days to satisfy all types of vapers. It would also help to let us know what type of smokes you used to smoke, such as was it a regular strength or what is considered a light cigarette? Do you have a need to see vapor(as I do) that resembles smoking? Since smoking is such a multi-faceted habit it can encompass much more that just getting the satisfaction of nic. Sure, I admit, nic is probably the biggest part, but there is also the physical action of hand to mouth, and the seeing of the 'smoke' and as you mention the hard hitting punch that a cigarette has.

One of the well known and respected ecig makers has great mods for the hard hit that you are looking for.......Geek Vape. They are sold world wide and offer a variety of products. They may be a lot bigger than you originally planned on using but it takes a powerful battery to produce what you are asking for. Of course this is just 1 of many good ecig makers, but to me price range is also a factor and well as ease of use. And these also can stand up to more accidental falls and usually no major damage is done. Geek vape has their own web site but their products are often sold by vendors(re-sellers) on their own site and sometimes cheaper. Shop around.

I am sure others will stop by to welcome you and offer many other great products.

Disclaimer.....just a regular vaper like you. I have no affiliation with this company other than I love using their products.

I am from Malaysia. I only take Dunhil and had smoking for more than 20 years. I came across vape few years back but did not pick up due to trouble some of maintaining the coil and accessories. Recently came across pod type e-cigarette which require zero maintenance and just give it a try. This pod is totally waste of money and does not relief my nicotine urge at all.

I think a pod with nic salts may not be for you. If that's not doing it, I would recommend regular nic juice at 24mg or even perhaps higher. Its possible you may need that throat hit feel and need more vapor then a pod can deliver. Not sure however if your pod is strictly mtl, but if so, something like a nautilus tank or the innokin zenith. The zenith I believe is usually paired as a kit....I have been a mtl vapor for years and If I personally had tried to quit with a pod and salt juices, I couldn't have done it. Salt juices I recently tried with a pod just didnt seem intense enough imo

I was thinking maybe you could check out the Freemax Twister.
It's variable wattage and the FireLuke tank is very good.

It's easy for a new-ish person to adjust the wattage, and the airflow is nicely adjustable.
And it's affordable.

If you get a sub ohm tank though, please don't put 50mg nic salts in, if you like life.

This will not kill you, just a bit nic sick that water and 10m break will pass.

That's why I haven't done high mg salts yet. 50mg seems really high over 1 ohm to me in a pod, but what do I know? :)

When I first stumbled onto vaping, it was with Vuse. At the time I had zero idea of flavors or nic concentration or anything else. Just bought the standard tobacco pods. Found out later it was a 48 mg nic solution and no idea if that was a salt or not.

When I decided the pods were getting expensive I found an ego pen style and used 24 mg plain nic Tribeca. It was delicious and the 24 mg delivered better than a pod was enough. We're all different and at different points in our vaping. No way I could use a 50 mg anything, including salts today with how I vape.

To the OP there have been several decent suggestions so far. A subohm tank like that Twister with a 12-18 mg nic may do the trick. It may be a bit more work filling the tank and replacing the coils after they are no longer working well (anywhere from 5-14 days depending on the juice) but it gives you the ability to adjust the nic dose delivered rather than stuck with whatever the pod manufacturer decides to offer.

Mostly I figured if I can handle the Twister, he could. It's a nice device, too.
I think it's a pretty easy vape to ease into, too. (I wonder what stuff he can get in Thailand. They seem to be the kind of place to use corporal punishment for smoking or vaping!) If he sub ohms with like 12/18, he'll probably like vaping and the FireLuke coils are really smooth.

I shudder to consider vaping 50mg or any pod Juul type dosage! ;) I like sub ohm, even though I don't fully DL. 24 even would be OTT for me.

I haven't tried TriBeCa yet since I was looking for higher VG juice. i heard it's yummy.

I am getting my Cube in black tomorrow. Yay. I'm psyched.
