Nic buzz after dilution, even under my ADV mg...

[iamnoa]

First post! After lurking on ECF for a month, I dove in, got my kit and have been smoke free for 5 days after 10yrs of smoking PAD Mboro Lites! Amazing. Speechless actually..

My question:

After buying 18mg and 12mg e-juice, 18mg was too much and 12mg was about right. So I cut it with VG by 50%, which would mean it dropped to around 9mg? I think? But after vaping it, it gives me a nic buzz more than my 12mg! I'm so confused .

Am I going crazy?

Actually I had the same problem when I started I mixed the 18 and 12 of the same flavor and same amount for 15mg and that worked for me. I eventually started diluting some 24mg juices which worked well but you may need extra flavoring. That's what got me into diy juices.

are u sure you got just plain VG ? or perhaps VG with nic ?

I found that everything went haywire for me after my first few weeks. I had to vary my nic levels quite a bit to get it right. I also found that caffeine was affecting me more. So I had to go to decaf and halfcaf. It also seemed that (I can't confirm this) different times of day, like late afternoon before eating, that I would get a little loopy and had to eat or cut the vaping. I chalk it all up to just my body changing and reacting to stopping smoking. Most of those initial symptoms disappeared after a few weeks. I just chalked it up to detoxing.

I agree with SuperDave. Did you buy VG with nic in it?

 

[iamnoa]

No nic in the VG. Straight from CVS, pure glycerin USP. I'm thinking it is the change in my body's reaction from not smoking. After vaping the diluted juice a little more, it seems to get a little better. definitely not going back to smoking because of a little hiccup!

vape on.

In 5 days the toxins are still in your body. Hang on as it does get better.

i have also heard that VG gives off more vapor than PG, if this is true then you would be producing more vapor and getting more nic.

 

[Ryedan]

VG produces more vapor without vaporizing your juice faster. It's just the nature of VG so there would not be more nic due to more VG in the juice. Nic delivery is dependent on the nic content of the juice, and/or a delivery device that puts out more vapor because it's vaporizing juice faster.
