Generally higher PG and higher nic gives a greater TH. But there's variability depending on flavor too and people's subjective experiences differ. I'm not sure if you're asking whether your juice is what you think it is, or if you're happy with it and just curious. in answer to your question I'd say it's possible- but if you're concerned you might want to check directly with the supplier.

I'm wondering if the juice really has 24 mg nic. I guess there is no way to tell other than vape it and wait to see how long it takes before my monkey is hungry again.

That's one way to check it- but i would also contact the supplier. They may or may not be able to tell you much- but if you think you didn't get what you ordered you should check. it may be that this particular flavor is exceptionally smooth- it may be that something was mislabeled. i hope the former.

yeah it really depends cause i vape 36mg and 50/50 PG/VG and i get pretty consistent and hard throat hits........

yeah- that ought to give you quite nice TH :lol: :)

Krazirob,
I swear i've seen somewhere on-line 100 and something mg's. Do a search for it... Thanks A

all the 100mg stuff i have seen is straight nic juice which needs to be mixed with flavor and PG or VG based liquid depending on which one you get...


you might want to check out this subforumOther Alternatives to Smoking. Some people need some of the other components of tobacco to feel satisfied.
I didnt start vaping to stop smoking by any means....i love smoking. i just didnt like spending 5 bucks a day or more on cigs and not being able to smoke anywhere......i will never quit being addicted to nicotine....just now i have found a healthier and cheaper way to fullfill my nicotine addiction!!!

I hear ya Krazirob. I started vaping for much the same reason- I had no intention of quitting smoking. And I'm not planning to give up nicotine either.... it's just when i read about higher than 36 mg/ml I wonder if it's more than the nic, so I suggested other smokeless alternatives just in case. I hope you took it as more info/choices rather than any sort of pressure. :)

I hear nic juice is weakened by heat/sunlight.

Pahlke: Did you figure anything out? How's the monkey doing?

Krazirob: Wow dude. That's a lot of nic. I hope you take this positively and not as me being "pushy".

I usually use 18 - 24, but I often cut it from the 48 mg DIY stuff. Sometimes I just get 36 and cut it in 1/2. I wouldn't recommend even vaping 48, but that's me. Lot's of people vape at 36 sometimes.

Can't tell you what to do; you know you best. However, one thought: I'd check your atty and/or setup to ensure that it is working properly and vaporizing the (lower) nic, 'cuz Dang! Dude! There are posts of 2 PPD non-filter smokers not going anywhere near that high. Can get dangerous. Just sayin'.

P.S. You may wish to pick up some cut solution too (pg/vg). That way, if the nic level is too high, you can cut it easily. I don't (yet) even go near the 100+ mg stuff. I hear it can be absorbed through the skin... one accident of spilling it on you could be real bad (I think the pg/vg mitigates absorption a bit tho). Highest I have is 48 mg, and I cut that in 1/2 when opened so I don't OD. But that's me.

If you're getting headaches from vaping, it's often a sign of too much nick (sweats, etc. too).

Good luck guys!

I've bought 48 mg from myfreedomsmokes and I'm pretty sure you can also buy it from TV.

I just buy 36 (or w/e an individual vendors highest is), and use a little of that 100mg unflavored to boost it to my desired 40-42mg... Using an e-liquid calculator that can be used to mix 2 liquids with different nic levels... I had a vendor who did 42 for me, but he quit making it available. I think the vendors can get in trouble from certain suppliers, for selling over 36.... I don't know that for sure, but I don't see any other reason no one (or almost no one) would sell it... Nicotine's 'fatal dose' being 60mg for a non-smoker, but 150+mg for a smoker, might have something to do with it... I tried 24, it was like smoking a light or ultralight analog, I stayed on 36 for a bit, it was good, but nothing was 'right' till I went to 42, then BAM, when I took a hit, I could tell I had just taken a hit, feel the nic hit my lungs... mmmm... much better for me (1.5-2 PAD smoker, 12yrs, Marlboro Red 100s).... Let me also qualify this by saying I only reccomend stepping up that high if you've tried a few flavors and different pg/vg levels of 36 and it's just not enough, I would NOT recommend stepping from 24 to 42!....
And 48mg is really too strong for me to vape straight, 42 hits the spot, 48 gives me almost instant low-level nicotine overdose, hiccups, headache, nausea, 'tight' chest, etc...

and that isnt even enough......wish they had 48mg or higher....LOL

I just started Vaping 5 or 6 day's ago, and the only thing is after being a heavy cigg smoker all the time / every moment / anyway so that I can get my nicotine, I find it difficult to mimic my cigg habit. I would light and draw, and hit that 100 mm about 17 times, and by then it was poking the filter, and out.
in the am after wake up, I would need to chain 3 ciggs to get my makeup.

Now, with the Vaping 24 mg nic with a Vg base...I just feel that i don't know when to walk away from the darn thing.
In the morning...it's rough, and I super draw so th juice gets on my lips and cheeks. It doesn't bother me to swallow it either. I've done the chew thing too, and I would swallow the juice a little to get the nic; and especially if I was irritated or siked up about something.

My problem is...and this sounds stupid, but I just don't know when enough is enough nicotine for me. It's like...If i'm getting more than a cigg gave me....I want more More MORE!!!!
I mean..now the ole lady is on my case about setting up my nic fixes with my dropper bottle every 25 hits. LOL..
I tell her..."I'm just new at this, and I'm waiting for the Change Stabilization!" ... Yeah! Right!.. Believe that, and I'll tell another one. Ha Ha Ha .....
