Nic level assistance

[Arriss]

I smoked Misty 120 green, less then a pack a day. First time I vaped I began at 21mg, in 5 months time reduced to 0, due to body tingling sensation. I was fine for awhile, unfortunately I began smoking again. Quit smoking again a few weeks ago, I began vaping at 12mg, my body begins to tingle, so I reduced to 9mg, then 6mg, then 3mg, now 1mg. My body tingles, when I vape, feels like a billions ant's all over my body. Didn't experience this while smoking analogs. Not allergic to pg/vg. Just having a difficult time, figuring out my nic level, which obviously is less then 1mg. Reduced to 0, I crave smoking an analog.

I use ejuice calculator, at .5mg = .08 or 2 drops. At .7mg = .12 or 2 drops. I don't have any syringe, with .08 or .12 increments. ml is different but drops are the same.

Any syringe with small increments, below 1mg. I tried using a magnifying glass, but still difficult. Thanks for feedback.

What is the concentration of your nic base? If you are having trouble getting small enough increments for measuring, you can do a dilution of your base. This is a cheap and accurate way to make low concentrations without having to buy expensive tools made to measure small volumes.

For example, if you are using 100 mg/ml and want to make 10 ml of a 0.5 mg/ml juice... you'd use 0.05 ml of the 100 mg/ml base. Very hard to measure without expensive micropipettors.

Instead make a dilution of your 100 mg/ml to maybe 20 mg/ml. (2 ml of base nicotine in 8 ml of either VG or PG, mix very well of course) this essentially gives you a new 'base nicotine' at a lower concentration. Then you'd be able to use 0.25 ml of that for 10 ml of juice at 0.5 mg/ml. For 0.25 ml, you will be able to use a 1 ml syringe to measure.

Just to add... I don't see how it could be the nicotine that is making your skin feel crawly though. You were surely getting more with the cigarettes?

It may not be the nicotine at all.

Have you tried to vape unflavored nic base? nic and pg alone or nic and vg alone?

Do you use flavoring in your ejuice?
Maybe the alcohol in flavoring is causing this?

I'm not exact Sure what you are Trying to make? Or what you are Using to make it. But DIY can be Easier to do if you make Larger Amounts.

The Smallest amount I would attempt to make is 30ml.

Yes, as said, nic doesn't make you "tingly"... "Over-nic'ed" standard symptoms means nausia and dizziness, harder to breath and more sensitive to light(speaking from experience and from reading up on nicotine-poisoning)...

As stated already of great advice, you need to pinpoint the issue... If 0 nic makes it go away, which i'm not sure of is correct from your post(unmentioned), then you need to try another nic vendor/manufacturer. It could be that you're not allergic, but intolerant to PG(or VG), so try each by itself i.e. eliminate one object at a time to pinpoint the issue...

Good luck

Hi friend, thanks for feedback. I use 60mg base. Yes, analogs nicotine was more strong, reason I don't get why? I have tingly feeling, when I vape.

 

[Arriss]

Thanks for everyone's feedback, will try different suggestions.

Thanks Spazmelda, I have unused 12mg nic base in the fridge, punched in .3 on the EJuice calculator equal .25, now this will work.

Hi Mhertz, I tried no nic base, no tingling, pg/vg or both, only happens when I add nicotine. Not a common problem, but have read others claim tingling from vape. Majority state to much nic. I smoked weak analogs, so my body does not require much nicotine for satisfaction. Last year I reduced nic from 21mg to zero rapidly, cause of tingling, zero worked well for awhile, then the nicotine craving kicked in, after a few months. All I know now is my nic level is below 1mg above zero.

Sorry Arriss, wasent trying to brush off your experience, and indeed it shows to be the nic by your preliminating-tests. If you solve the problem with under 1mg and is satisfied and can stay of analogs, then that's great. However, if you feel that you still have nic cravings, then I wold strongly suggest trying another nic vendor. Also, of course, you can simply lower your wattage; the higher the wattage, the lower the nic, as more nic(in eliquid) gets evaporated at once(more vapor)...

I hope you will find a solution mate

All is cool friend, we are all learning from one another. I'm alway's open to ideas/suggestions. Confirmed it's the nic level, I reduced to .3 and thus far no tingling, even cranked the battery to 55 watts with no coughing issue thus far. Tomorrow will introduce flavors.

I must have smoked some weak analogs, Lol !!!!

I will also try various nic vendors. I did have issues with certain company pg/vg, tried different vendor problem solved. Thanks for all your assistance.
