I'm curious what is more effective and satisfying for that calming effect you get from being satisfied after smoking. The nic salts from comments people have made seem to be effective at giving you an intense fast nic hit that satisfies but isn't that still just nicotine in a high dose? The whole tobacco alkaloids seem to give the best of both worlds a nic hit and the more relaxing feeling from the additonal alkaloids. This introduction of nic salts seem very confusing as to what would make it effective since cigarettes contain so much more than nicotine that works on the brain and body. I would love to hear others experience with the nic salts and especially how it compares to wta.

low level nicotine is activating

high level nicotine is calming

there is a scientific term for that paradox that i can't think of

WTA is calming, but can only be bought up to 36mg [or 24 for aroma]

use both, and lots of it :)

Wow so i'm midway through my day and the first day using the juul all day and so far i'm loving it. I did have to fill my tank a second time because the cravings for the cigs after eating were pretty strong and it took some hits to get past that. The second fill i did not include any of the salt ejuice, i filled the tank with GI Joe 24mg from aroma, i noticed that even with a 24mg flavored wta the hit is strong, better throat hit, good flavor and very satisfying. I'm happy i found a unit that brings out the aroma ejuice flavors nicely. I'm not sure i'll even need the salts at all i ordered from River but will still be fun to experiement with them. Had to charge my battery once since last night so far but took less than an hour so not bad.

    I've heard a claim by the guy working the local vape shop that some people feel sick from conventional nicotine but not with nic salts. So salts might help get nicotine satisfaction similar to WTA if that's really true.

    As to throat hit, when I started vaping I couldn't understand why everyone was talking about good throat hit, it was too much for me, so the salts certainly would have helped. I found out about WTAs a bit late too.

    I started my journey towards reducing smoking with a Juul. It helped me cut my analog consumption in half. However, in order to reduce more, I needed a more powerful device than the Juul. Thanks to recommendations from members of ecf, I have acquired a small collection of better devices. The discovery of WTA and NET juices was another game changer for me. I vape juices from aromaejuice.com and naturally-extracted-tobacco.com on a daily basis and have cut my smoking to two cigarettes per day with no physical withdrawal symptoms.

    I have not tried nic salt liquid with my new devices though I should probably give them a try. Interesting that you are able to refill your Juul pods. Saw a video on that and it looked too complicated to be worthwhile.

    I guess you have to 'listen' to your body to discover what works. What I have learned in the last five months is that there should not be any physical cravings if you are using the right juice and the right nic level.

    Well christmas was awesome to me, i received not only the juul but also a suorin air, the suorin air is way better than the juul, same tight draw and holds 2ml juice and hits like a champ. Strange little device but effective and its made to be refilled so no taking apart the pod like i was doing with the juul. And i got an awesome gift from Aroma, with my last order they sent me a bottle of their nic salts which i did not even know they had. At 24mg the aroma nic salts pack quite a punch. I mixed some with my 24mg unflavored wta and its very satisfying.
