Nicotine deprived?

[Susaz]

Yesterday I started having problems. I had no flavor, no throat hit, no nothing. Plenty of vapor, but that was that. Today I changed heads, and the only thing I could think of is juice. I'm vaping Halo Tribecca 24 mg toned down with VG 60/40. Up to now it was great, but it's slowly dwindling. Even changed devices, filled a CE3 ml tank with the mix. Still no TH. And I'm feeling nicotine deprived. I had had 1 week without smoking and all of a sudden it's not working. Anybody feeling the same? 24 mg straight from the bottle was always too much nic for me, now it's not working any more?

That is strange. Do you have any other atomizers or cartomizers or anything you can use? If you have any atomizers I would suggest that for a superior throat hit and vapor production(just IMO, not looking for a debate you guys, I know everybody has their different preferences) but the silica wicks in stardusts/vivi novas/etc. can cause these kind of issues.

once i was about 2 weeks into vaping i started direct dripping... and now i prefer it most times when i'm sitting at home..
the tanks are great for going out but i find i really need that OOMPH now and then.

Gotta love the oomph!

Maybe try a variable voltage device so you can up the voltage to get more TH.

I get plenty of TH from my 6mg juices.

Dripping is definitely worth a try. I used cartos for my first month. First time I dripped the throat hit just about ripped me apart. Thought there was something wrong with my atty, but turns out that that's what the juice is really like. Cartos were just toning it down. Still love my carto tanks for convenience though.

maybe try another juice for a while maybe your burnt out on that one

I've been seriously thinking about dripping. Some days I need the extra nic an atty can produce. But I'm not handy and 306 are expensive. Just last week I was putting a drop or two of 24 mg into my usual mix just for this. But it took a while to get me. I do use eGo Twist and I up my nic and voltage as the day goes by. But I was getting absolutely nothing, just like vaping club soda.

ok you started out with 24 mg halo, and you cut it with vg, how much did you cut it, and did you leave any uncut.

Throat hit comes from nic and is enhanced by pg, vg mutes the th and flavor while adding vapor.

Also I know I found for me, when I started vaping even 18 mg seemed too high at first, so I dropped down to 12, after a couple weeks I started going back up and leveled off at 24 til I got a genny.

40%VG, about 16mg. I vaped fine at that level until yesterday...

You might be overdosing. That's a high nic level, and OD'ing feels like you need a cigarette. It's also very easy to do without realising exactly what's going on.

Are you getting a good vapor production? Is the cloud exhaled enough to obscure your vision?

 

[Kopfstimmen]

Sounds to me like you're maybe experiencing a loss of flavor, as opposed to actual throat hit? I haven't experienced it yet, but I've heard about it... If you think this might be the case, drink lots of water and maybe try a different flavor to shake things up... Thumbs up on the dripping idea... I'm not necessarily handy either, but I do enjoy it at home...

Also how old is the juice and how do you store it? There is some evidence that sunlight and heat will degrade the nic content.

Your problem is probably bad atomization but who knows.

Barely 3 weeks old or so...
