Nic hit/content help

[jacob bonilla]

I have some question pertaining to nic

1. does the nic hit when inhaling every go away; I have some 6mg that I find pretty harsh didn't think they would be that harsh but after that I started to buy 3mg and those are great but I now have 3 30ml 6mg juices would like to vape them but the throat hit is hurting me. I like to take long hits btw if I take a short hit it is fine but if I try going for 7s it burns after.

2. what is the cheapest way for lowering nic buying PG or buying VG? and does it matter if my juices are mainly VG based. 1 is 100% VG the other is 60/40 vg/pg the 3rd is simply 50/50. Also where can I buy PG/VG in a store? I live in Hawaii not sure if drug stores or grocery stores that sell things like medical stuff carry these. prices are insane here locally as well thus I want a cheap way to lower it. Also do you think it is worth buying it's only 3 bottles they are practically full. don't want to buy a huge bottle of vg/pg and barely use it I don't do DIY juices.

3. if I add in a 3mg nic juice in my tank and later fill it with my 6mg nic will the nic content rise? I typically don't vape until my tank is practically empty I let it drop maybe 3/4 and then refill with whatever juice I am feeling and this tank is filled with the above wondering if I just went full 6mg nic would it be less harsh then mixing the 2 or would it not matter.

1. Try lowering your nic content (3mg, 1.5mg), it will be less harsh on your throat.
2. Don't understand your question.
3. Yes nic content will rise. If you put 5ml of 3mg and 5ml of 6mg, it will mix and net out to 4.5mg of nicotine. (Assuming it is completely mixed).

1. I meant will the hash throat hits go away simply by continuously vaping the 6mg for a while? I lowered my other juices to 3mg because of the 6mg being too harsh but I have 3 30ml bottles of 6mg juices really don't want to spend money to purchase Pg/Vg just to tone it down.

2. I was asking what is the cheapest way to lower the nic content the 6mg juice to like 3mg should I buy PG/VG; the rest idk should have thought that out clearer but now that I read the other part of the question it was stupid in general to ask as it made no sense.

3. ahh I thought it would rise like from 6mg to maybe 7mg but going lower seems better as long as it's lower preferably closer to 3mg shouldn't be too bad.

You can buy some 0mg juice pf the same flavor and mix them and it will net out to 3mg nicotine. You might have to buy 3 more 30ml of 0mg nicotine but will last you for a while.
By all means its all up to you. I am just giving my humble suggestion.

1. Typically, long "lung hits" are more comfortable with lower nic, as you've discovered. Take a shorter draw if you want to use up your 6mg liquid without hurting yourself. This would be your least expensive option, obviously. You might find yourself getting used to the 6mg and can stretch out the draws a bit (but maybe not).

2. You should be able to buy USP glycerin at any pharmacy (check the skin care section) in a small size at a reasonable cost. You can use this to mix in equal parts with your liquid to get the nic down to 3mg, but you'll halve the flavor strength as well. Another option is to buy more liquid in those flavors, with 0mg nic, and mix it equally with the 6mg liquid to lower nic to 3mg without affecting the flavor level.

3. Whatever remnant of 3mg liquid is left in your tank will slightly dilute the overall nic strength when you fill up with 6mg, so it shouldn't be harsher than the straight 6mg liquid (unless it's the flavoring itself causing the harshness).

can i ask what hardware you are using and what PG/VG ratio? when i started using sub ohm tanks i had to go from 6 to 3 mg nic. high PG can also be harsh. go to walmart and get some USP vegetable glycerin and mix with your 6 mg juice.

 

[jacob bonilla]

coil wise? I am using a 0.5 ohm coil atm. using the evic vt 60w box mod with an aspire triton tank. haven't tried these 6mg nic juices with the 2 ohm coil I have . juices I am not sure what pg/vg some of them are but the 6mg ones are 100VG, 50/50, and 60Vg 40pg. sadly I just went to one of these major pharmacy stores and even a grocery store since they sell pharmacy things and nothing. I found glycerine but not sure if it was vegetable glycerine as it didn't state and it was in these proportioned droplets. if anything I will just go to this vape shop or purchase some online from a vape shop if they sell any. I'm in need of buying more juice soon running pretty low

PG gives a throat hit as does nic. with the .5 ohm you probably want 3 mg nic but i`m sure some people vape 6 mg at that ohm. try the 6 mg juice with the 2 ohm coil and see if its any better.

 

[jacob bonilla]

tried with the 2ohm coil getting less flavor, easier burnt flavor with a 50/50 juice throat hit is kind of more harsh as well. i did switch the juice though i was using i <3 donuts with 60/40 vg/pg 6mg nic to five pawns gambit 50/50 6mg nic throat hit on that gambit is more mellow then on a 0.5 ohm coil but it simply lacks flavor, gets a burnt flavor when I'm at 22watts and even 20 watts currently vaping it at about 15watts with the 2.0 ohm coil. it got alright on the i<3 donuts juice with the 0.5 coil after a while today so i might just stick to sub ohm coils and simply stick to 3mg juices. those 6mg juices i bought were when i first started everything else is pretty much 3mg hits nice. not sure wth I'm going to do with these juices though save for rainy day i guess

 

[jacob bonilla]

I think it is just the juice this time as now I'm vaping the gambit on the 0.5 ohm coil and the hit is pretty harsh compared to the other 6mg juices I have

FYI - I'm thinking you're pushing way too many watts on that 2.0 ohm coil. Probably best to stay under 9W.

 

[jacob bonilla]

when i vape it at a low wattage like that I'm get very little vapor, cold vapor, and no taste is that normal? throat hit otherwise is okay at maybe 8watts and lower though

 

[towelie]

Get a cheep rda and drip the 6mg....like 2 or 3 sec pulls or do as mentioned and mix equal parts usp veg glycerin or 0mg same flavor. 7 sec pulls seems a little excessive.

The reason vapers go for more wattage (at lower resistance) is to produce denser vapor and flavor, at the cost of more irritation, which is generally dealt with by decreasing nicotine and increasing the VG ratio. One uses more juice this way as well.

I've never tried any juice from Five Pawns, but I believe their products a high PG mix, at least 50%. I don't have a problem with a 50/50 mix in a subtank, but lots of people do experience irritation with higher PG mixes in general, and especially in a sub-ohm setup. You could easily be one of those. I'd recommend finishing your Gambit on the 2 ohm coil at lower watts, or find some middling coil--1.5-1.8 ohms--were you can bump the watts to 11 or 12.
