Nic Levels?

[Louie]

I have a question for some of the mor experieced vapers. I just started vaping. I am pretty heavy smoker. Before I started vaping, I was about a pack a day smoker. I noticed that higher nic levels are (anything over 16-18) making me kind of sick when vaping more then 5 or 6 hits (little buzzed and sour stomach feeling). I was wondering what nic levels you guys like to use? I really need some new liquids that have under 15mgs as I am finding that I'd much rather have an analog then do any vaping with high nic levels...

You should get some 0mg to vape inbetween the hourly vape of probably 8mg. It does sound as if you do not need the higher nic levels.

12mg for me but I smoked ultralights.
I go up to 18 or 24 for the odd buzz vape but not for chain vaping - I even have some 0 (zero) nic for chaining on.
If you're still needing a cig (and dont actually want to have one - if youre happy to have the odd cig thats fine, ignore this part) you might want to consider something to supplement your new habit like SNUS (the swedish kind) which contains the MAOI part of the cigarette that seems to be almost as addictive (or at least missed) by some vapers.
SNUS are a tiny packet of tobacco which you hold between your lip and gum - its NOT CHEW OR DIP - you dont spit or snort with it. More info on those in the smokeless tobacco forums here btw. You might also consider snuff, some people use that also.

Thanks HZ...

I read the WWOV article on here and I think the suggestions are a bit innacurate.

I noticed that a lot of the places like Tasty Vapor don't sell them under 12. They sell them either 12, 24, or 36. Doesn't that seem like a lot of nicotine?

CapJay,

Vaping has dropped me down to about 2 or 3 smokes per day and I am ok with having the occassional smoke. But, sometimes Vaping seems to make me feel a little sick and I think it because I am using too much nic. I am gonna try to get some 8 and 12mg along with some lower nic levels aswell as zero nic for when I want to vap excessivly. I was planning on tapering down to 0 if possible. But, yea anything over 18 seems to be very excessive.

I have tried SNUS and I think it's gross.

I still dont understand why Tasy Vapor and soe places don't have under 10mg with their juices.

Yea, I'd say you need the lower nic levels, especially since you are still smoking a few a day. You may be getting enough nic from them.
Good Luck.

It might be a sales thing - perhaps the lower levels didn't/don't sell as well and theres no profit in making them? They are a business after all
Other suppliers like MS Ts bakery and DIYFlavorshack (to name but 2) do lower nic levels as well as zero.

Thanks for the advice. I just ordered a sampler pack from DIYFlavorShack with ZeroNic and LowNic (6mg).

I also mentioned e-cigarette-forum.com as the referrer. Hope that helps.

I don't think that e-cig has more nicotine than analog.
Light analog has 0.8 mg of nicotine per cigarette right?
So if you smoke a pack you'll get about 0.8 x 20 = 16 mg.

Wow Louie,

Count your blessings my friend. Buy some doublers and thin down your nic levels to whatever you feel comfortable with. You can save money on every purchase if levels that low keep you happy.
Myself, I chain vape the 36mg and have pretty much resigned myself to a future of DIY with the occasional treat of the premade flavors from the few vendors that still offer that strength.

Regards
Jim

I was a very casual smoker. 12-15 mg is more than enough for me. Anything more than that makes me feel sick.

Post some updates on how that sampler pack treats you.
