I think some of the members are thinking that sub-ohming at 2.4% is high(I do also). Can you tell us how you vape on it? We have terms here to help us understand how members use their devices. MTL and DL. Mouth to lung is like when you smoked a cigarette. You toke on it and slightly pause before breathing it into your lungs. Direct to lung(DL) there is zero pause and its goes straight into the lungs. Since vaping is not smoking(even tho it does mimic many aspects of it) we get most of the nicotine absorbed in the mouth, nose and throat area. When you DL(especially high levels of nic) that kind of by passes that aspect and can cause over-nic-ing, light headness, dizzy, etc. Its not wrong to do it that way, its just some of us really had to lower our levels of nic so we didn't over do it. I went from 12mg(1.2%) to 3-5mg. Otherwise, I would get ill.

Just giving you something to learn and think about. We do have members here that vape as high as 35mg and 50mg. But they are exceptions. lol

Wow... 24mg nic at 35w would probably make pass out!

I do 18 in my low wattage rigs and 5-6 in my sub-ohm setups. But I did start at 24 years back.

I'm using 33V/66P@18 in my little Vaporesso Aurora. I think the thing tops out at 12.6 Watts and it gives me a nice quick hitting stealth vape. But...I've been vaping for over four years consistently now.

Either I have built up a high resistance to nicotine, or the place I buy from is duping me on the volume of nicotine, I have no way of knowing what is really in the juice unless I start making it myself, which I intend to do thanks to Sugar and Spice, was just told to work over time so I will be here for a bit longer, I like this site.....!!!!

People hold cloud competitions at the vape conventions.. also some vape shops in larger cities hold competitions to draw in customers and business. Other than that, not really a big thing. You can always keep up to date on the conventions and attend the next one.. it's kind of just a thing the kids do though.. (by "kids" I mean the under 30 crowd)
Then that is not for me, I am twice 30 oops, gave it away, will look at you tube

I started with 24mg, now I'm down to 2mg. I vape about 20mls a day between dripping and squonking :)
Most of my RDAs are built between .27-.38 :)

LOL, I see you've been looking at the DIY thread. :) Some of those post are really old, and the items they are saying to buy are no longer so available in the more popular type stores that sell pool supplies. How do I know? I went looking and had a devil of a time finding what I needed. So I ended up just buying a kit from one of the vendors that offer the supplies for testing. Seemed a whole lot easier at the time.

I did not know that was available to buy from vendors here. Mind if I ask which vendor you buy from ? By the way, I am looking around here every chance I get. Are you able to see the pics I posted in a album I created ? Hope I did it right. ;)
