Nic Levels

[VaprMafiosa]

I'm curious because I drip at a super high nic level but see others dripping at way less. What level is right for you?

Welcome!
I used to vape 36mg exclusively. That includes dripping. I did eventually drop to 24mg then from that I went to 6mg. Pretty quick transition but I'm getting used to it. I went so low not because I want to get away from the nicotine but because I am developing different enjoyments that I didn't have before. Like doing lung hits. I found out recently that I really like a good lung hit from a nice airy dripper. But that can only be done comfortably with a lower nic. I'm having fun flavor chasing right now.
I still have plenty of 36mg liquids for those times when I just want that good ol' nicotine buzz.

My sweet spot is 18mg, which is high but it works for me.

Sent from my easy chair using brain waves.

Ah, phew. Yes, I am dripping at 24mg. My hubby is a huge DIY guy and keeps suggesting that I lower my nic but knows better than to push it. lol. I just noticed that so many are now dripping at 6 and I guess, it is just what you are comfortable at.

Define super high nic level?

I vape 36 and 24.


ETA~ We were posting at the same time.. I see your answer above.

Why is your hubby pushing you to lower your nic? If what your doing is working?

I started dripping at 12mg. Now using 6mg or 3mg. I was getting that initial head buzz from 12mg on my builds, so I felt that I could go down. 3-6mg amount works for me. When I smoked, I was at a pack in ~3 days.

just dropped to 4mg

I wouldn't say that he is really "pushing" more like suggesting. He understands that everyone is different and it probably is more of a joke between us now. I did upgrade my atty and admitted last night that I may need to lower my nic a bit. I really had no idea that it made such a difference. I guess, I am a newb with a husbad that is a real vaping vet. I might even start listening to him.. shhh. lol

I started off at 12, but then I realized I enjoy the taste and smoothness more than the throat hit. So I dropped down to 6. My girlfriend, who smoked for a shorter period than myself enjoys 12mg, so I guess its just personal preference!

Less than a week into vaping after 37 years of Marlboro red PAD...started at 12mg with variety of juices. So far so good.

Usually when I make a new flavor I tend to chain vape it so I start very low, sometimes 0mg, but usually settle on 5-6mg for dripping and 15-18mg for my kayfun. Right now I am enjoying a very nice cinnamon at 0mg on my dripper and taking the odd hit of RY4 at 18mg on my kayfun to nic up.

I usually drip at the same strength as I vape. 10mg. I used to vape at 24mg, but as I started with better tanks, I needed to cut down on the nicotine to be able to vape as much as I like to without getting sick. Especially rda and rba, I need to keep a lower nicotine strength.

 

[VaprMafiosa]

Yes! I noticed that last night when we put my new atomic atty on my Provari. I was feeling a bit woozy. So, I will try a bit less nic this go-round.

Used to smoke 30+ a day and started dripping at 24mg but found that it was way too harsh, dropped down and eventually at 6mg now.

Started at 18mg after quitting analogs, slowly brought that down to 12mg. I'm currently working on cutting it on down to 6mg. It's not been a difficult transition, believe it or not.

I tend to chain vape and started out at 24mg, but found it too harsh especially on the tongue. So, I dropped to 16-18mg and am in the process now of dropping to 12. Also the set-up I use tends to make a pretty significant difference. Started on an ego with a clearo and have progressed through an mvp to nemesis with kayfun lite and magma rda.

I started at 24mg/ml, I am now mixing at 18mg/ml. I don't really see it as a race to get to a lower nic level; I vape what makes me happy and satisfied. Even at 24mg/ml, vaping is doing way less harm than smoking, IMHO which is the reason I'm vaping in the first place.

 

[dayblaze]

started at 12mg, got into dripping and subohm builds and needed to go down to 6mg cause it was hitting way too hard

Everyone is as unique as a fingerprint. There are also so many variables other than the strength of the juice. Everything from delivery device to power to the way you vape to the amount of times you vape make it a not very important thing to over analyze. It's awful easy to tell when you've had too much. I hate that feeling.

I dropped my nic quick in the game a year ago because I decided I liked to vape a lot and too much nic got in the way. I've been 10-12 in tanks and 5-8 in drippers for months now. I used to keep a tank loaded with high test for times when there would be big breaks between my vape time but then realized that it wasn't necessary. I mix my own so I can tinker with strength pretty easy.

I'm the same way with beer. I avoid high alcohol content beer because I prefer to drink more beers and not get too much alcohol. lol

I think the best advice is if you are satisfied and not getting too much then you are in the sweet spot.

Been vaping 7 weeks. I chain vape 18mgs which is probably a little high for me but I enjoy the buzz and haven't had any side affects.
Right now I am loving it and don't plan on lowering it yet if ever...But that's just me.
