Never been a smoker, started vaping

[kdb424]

First off, I'm bad at introductions, but here it goes.

I'm new to these forums, and one of the few members here that have never been a smoker. I show signs of ADHD so I have tried nicotine to see if I could get better focus. I have tried cigarettes before, but never bought a pack, mostly taking a hit from others cigs. I don't like the tobacco flavor, so I'm trying other flavors.

That was my bad introduction. Please feel free to ask questions. I'm sure there are things that I left out that I can't think of right now.

Welcome to the forums kdb.

Welcome, not sure vaping helps but I am not to educated on ADHD and nicotine. Saw a thread on this just yesterday so get 5 post and you can probably get to the right area for more info. Any questions on vaping in general will get answers right here tho, even if its not the right area. I stay here in this area and have learned almost anything I ever needed to know.

This may help.

It seems to be helping, though I'm here to try to get 5 posts. I really like the flavors. I don't seem to feel the need to use it, other than the the habitual addiction that people all get. I started on a blu, and wasn't happy with it other than the vanilla flavor, and just bought a halo with clearomizers. I was refilling my blu, so I have done some research. I have been reading these forums for a while, though I just joined to post tonight.

I'm kind of in the same boat. I was a smoker 8 years ago. Stress in my life wanted me to buy a pack of cigs, but I have a daughter and cigs are more dangerous and expensive. So I started vaping about a month ago. Co-workers keep asking me why do I need that do-hickey if I don't smoke. That's for people who want to quit.

I'm currently vaping anything. I was vaping Blu's high nicotine, but that's pretty low. Now I'm using 15mg of the local scores' liquid, and Johnson's creek 2.4%. I know that's kind of high, but I don't get a nicotine high any more. I did gut high off of the blu, but I haven't since I refilled my own, and still not since I got a halo G6. I think it was more of the fact on the blu that I cut off the extra holes and was forced to loose oxygen in my air, though I'm not going to hold my breath to test. Regardless, I have better focus now

The only other thing that I'd like to note is that I find the Johnson's creek to have way more TH than the local store. I bought ones with low TH on the guide on the site, but it could be the nicotine. I'm not a huge fan of that, but it's not bad after a couple of hits.

Just curious, have you discussed this with a health professional? Is there any study that has pointed you to trying a Nicotine treatment?

 

[hiddengravy]

Since your a beginning vaper and havent been a smoker, start of with 0-6 mg and stay at that for the first few months,

I can not gone to a professional though research hows that there are several experimental studies, so I thought I'd opt into a self study. I have never been diagnosed with ADHD or ADD, though I have never actually talked to a doctor about my problems, nor have I seen a health care provider for the last 8 years (since I was 15). I do show many of the signs of having ADHD so I just thought I'd give it a try. I would not consider anyone try this themselves though. As a side note, when I was younger, I was diagnosed to be clinically depressed, to the point that I was put on anti-depressants (which worked) but decided to stop them after only 2 months as I wanted to deal with it myself. This has seemed to boost my mood a bit, and help me cope with frustration and anger quite a bit, though I know it's partially because I step aside and just breath.

EDIT: I have started on higher nicotine already due to blu only selling no nicotine and high in retail stores, and have just bought higher nicotine liquid to try it out. It's been working fine for the past month, though I will probably keep various nicotine levels around just because. I switch between levels without even thinking about it when I'm using it because I like the taste, but when I sit down and focus, I use high levels. I don't feel the "high" people suggest that you get from nicotine since I have switched from the blu to halo. The halo gives more vapor, and a shorter drag, so I think I was getting that feeling from less oxygen in my system (I covered the holes on the blu to get more vapor, and therefor was forced to take a long slow drag with less oxygen)
