I don't DIY yet, but vape 18mg nic at 50/50 vg pg juice

I rarely do tobacco vapes anymore and am fixated on fruit flavors, so if the nic gives a tang taste I can't detect it as the vape has tang already.

I did a 24 mg nic one time and started to OD. :laugh: Nic poisoning is not fun.

Maybe tangy isn't it but it is bitter hard to explain a unknown flavor..although after vaping I recognize nic in it on the rare occasion I smoke a cig anymore..I've always had a really strong since of smell/taste even after smoking for over 25 years..a lot of times I will smell something before others around me even non-smokers so maybe you can't taste it but I can.

Yeah I do use much of tobacco flavors anymore either..I use a lot of sweet flavors...

0mg nicotine is the best goal. It's going to take me while to get there. I smoked 1.5 packs a day of Camel Blue 99s or stronger for 35 years. I'm using 24mg e-liquid and it takes me several minutes of vaping before I get a nicotine dose equal to a cigarette.

Everyone vapes differently. I don't inhale into the lungs.

The only taste I get from nicotine is a sharp, peppery taste as mentioned above. I get that same taste from cigarettes. I remember the kind of nicotine taste I got at the end of smoking a cigarette. When I get that same taste intensity while vaping I know it's time to put the pv down.

When I vape too much sometimes I get that same taste when I used to smoke too much..I think that's nic..at least part of that taste...

I did buy some 18mg juice from MadVapes but immediatly felt a "buzz". Didn't like the feeling. Figured I would OD if I continued so I stopped. I find myself vaping way more than I ever smoked, so that is why I would like to get down to 0mg.

I don't really vape more than I smoked as I was a 1-2 pack a day smoker and I started at 1 pack a day at 15 lol..there are times I vape a lot but there were times I smoked a real lot..sometimes out drinking when I was younger on weekends/whenever I would down a liter of JD and smoke 3-5 packs of Marlboro red box (of course some of that was people bumming them) in an evening :D One thing I can say if I died tomorrow I lived it up when I was younger :)

I gave up on tobaccos as it was not like analog.

I just don't think they can replicate the differnt burning chemicals in tobacco plus paper.

Always detect anise or hazelnut in many of the liquids and I cant stand those flavors.

I do have a fondness for the honey flue and M&P's american blend, though. I don't detect any haze nut or liquorice taste in those.

I could not stay analog free without the berry flavors now.

It's a good trade off though :)

Yes, I have some RY4 right now but not tried it yet. Atty needs cleaned.

I had a good mocha but need to get more, it was good. I tried keswick coffee one today and do not like it. Its why atty needs cleaned :D

Never cared for mint which is in grasshopper, but covered ape is nice with choco banana flavor.

So many good companies out there with flavors to try. Its maddening :D

I showed my wife a couple of sites and all of the flavor options. Now she has a list of different ones she wants to try and this is only day two for us! We are sticking with 18mg for now while we are testing everything out.

I'm exactly in your boat. My wife started out the night saying "Eh, I'll probably just find something neutral to vape" and ended the night looking up Lorann flavorings and prices on cheap PG/VG. It's nice to have our spouses' support. :)

That was the one thing i was worried about! Once i broke down how much we spent a month on analogs vs. how much it cost to get started with ecigs, she was much more agreeable. She's a baker, so when she saw all of the flavor options at Mrs. T's and Copper Creek she got really excited!
