Nic levels when returning to vaping.

[roxics]

I've been a bad boy. I've been smoking again since March. It's gotten pretty bad. I'm back up to over a pack a day and barely vaping. This is after two years of only vaping.

Back then it was a pretty easy transition from analogs to e-cigs. Now I'm having a really hard time. The e-cig is not satisfying me. I'm wondering if it's because of my nic level or if it has more to do with my lack of excitement for e-cigs now. Maybe both.

I mixed us some juice a few weeks back at 12mg. When I had quite vaping and returned to smoking back in March, I was down to 3mg. I'm wondering if I should up my levels to 18 or 24mg. The problem is, as a vaper, I use it like a pacifier. So too much nic caused headaches from time to time.

Any suggestions. I really need to quite smoking again, my health is a huge concern but at the moment it's more financial. I do like smoking, I just can't afford it anymore.

Give 18 or 24 a try can't hurt anything. If that doesn't do it maybe you need a delivery system that can get you a Steiger vape. What mod are you using?

What hardware are you using? There is a big difference in vappor, flavor and TH between juice delivery devices.

You can always try higher nic juice. You know what it feels like when you get too much. You can have a atty/arto/clearo with higher nic juice and one with lower nic juice and switch at will. Some people use higher nic in the morning and then taper off during the day. Whatever works for you is the right way for you.

I was at a pack a day when i made the switch. i wasn't chain smoking but i did end up chain vaping I found 24mg to strong, 18 did the trick. I don't chain vape all the time now but sometimes I do, I can also go a few hours without going crazy if I don't vape. 18mg seems to be fine for me in all situations

This time, don't try to eliminate nicotine so fast. Two years may seem like a long time, but I'm assuming you smoked for a lot longer than that. What kind of cigarettes are you smoking? How do you react after you vape or smoke? Do you pick up your mod after smoking? or do you pick up a cigarette after vaping?

18 - 24mg is a good place to start at least for the first week or so. Maybe you should carry some lower nic e liquid as well so you can switch it up if the higher nic is too much. I agree with above post that maybe you need a new delivery device to keep you satisfied.

Yep ,upping the nic may help or a better delivery device ??
Hope it works out for you

I use a silver bullet with an 18490 and a kick. I use 1.5ohm single coil cartos in a carto tank.

Yeah I'm thinking I should probably jump up to 18mg. That is the strength I vaped the longest when I was vaping full time. I should also pick up some dual coil cartos again and put in my RCR123's for 6volt vaping. I used those a lot back in the day. That combo worked pretty well.
