nicotine strength

[zeroclue]

Yes I keep coming back here and reading how well everyone has done to get rid of the cigs, I love my evod and trying out flavours. It is really annoying me that I can only stand to use it for a short time a few times a day. My other liquids should be ready soon so I will be able to change flavours more often hopefully that will help too.

for now I will try the 2.5ohm and a lower nic and see what the higher VG is like.

Thanks to all you lovely folks, I'm sure you have gone over all this a million times with new members

You keep asking away.

I've been thinking about your issue whilst out shopping and getting diesel.

At a guess, I'd say it took me 5 or 6 weeks to become accustomed to vaping...and that was with E-Lites and JacVapour. I still get the odd moment of "what the hell?", but I only have myself to blame for vaping at 9 watts with psycho tobacco juice.

Yes deffo got a sore throat and my chest isn't feeling great either, but like I said the kids have some sort of bug so maybe its bad timing and I've caught something off them.

I haven't used my evod all that much, just 3/4 draws a few times a day but my throat starts getting sore straight away so could be a reaction to the PG or nic strength (analogs are 20ish roll my owns per day, I have managed to cut down a little so far).

Some are PG/VG 50/50, some are PG/VG 70/30.

what mix do you use/ what would you recommend? Different sites have different options but as I have only been buying sample size I cant change mix or nic strength.

I really need to get this right my OH is going to go nuts if I keep ordering stuff! I still have a itaste v3 and or vision spinner on my wish list that I can't order until I give up the ciggy's!

I usually use juice that is at least 65-70% VG. Ii also like 100%VG when available. Most vendors will have an option for 'high VG' which means that some of their flavorings may use PG but otherwise they don't add any more. This option is great also. I hope this works for you!
Good Luck!!

Just ordered some VG double mint from liberty flights in 18mg and 8mg so if it the nic one will still bother me and if its the PG they should both be ok....hopefully, well the theory sounds good anyway so its a start

I recently made the mistake of buying a mixture as close to 100% pg juice (because I thought it would be better) and tried it and WOW it was HARSH!! the taste was great but if I tried to take anything but a small hit I felt like I was inhaling fire and then proceeded to hack my brains out, and produced a very very non existent amount of vapor ( I like to see a nice cloud of vapor)

I've been vaping for 3+yrs, but have never played mixing juices.I feel slightly stupid to ask this question but oh well. both drops I have are 24mg now if I mix both do I get 48 mg?

I tried to look for the mix pg/vg of my daily vapor but they say it's a "closely guarded secret" which I think is bs but whatever. I've read on a few posts that 70/30 seems to be the way to go, but that's all down to personal preference.

If you mix two juices that are both 24mg nicotine you will still have a 24mg juice. The nicotine content will only change if you mix different values (ex: 30ml of 24mg + 30ml of 12mg= 60ml of 18mg nicotine) I know it can be quite confusing. This is where all of that algebra from high school comes in handy!
Hope this helps!
Good Luck!

GRRR sorry I didn't see that you had responded ( or I would have responded), guess I need to tweak my notifications settings again.
Thanks I've been terrified to mix the juices because I didn't want to end up with 48 and kill my lungs/throat, esp since I'm running extremely low on my adv and need to order more and was scared to mix.

Now, I have another few questions-
Okay so my adv juice I don't know the ratio pg/vg now if I mix the two can I safely assume I won't get as good vapor production (since the ones as close to 100% pg as possible) when I mix?

Also I know this probably isn't the right area to ask this question but figured I'd ask anyway,
does anyone know of a good online juice maker that has their own standard ratio ( so I don't have to worry about choosing and messing up again)? I'm looking to open up my "palette" and try different juices since I've only ever tried like 4 or 5 juices.

I'm going to try a few madvapes juices cause that's what my sister uses and they're relatively cheaper than my normal adv prices.

Also I would LOVE to try out a chocolate flavored juice, but I am worried about the caffeine content on the juices, as I have a medical issue with caffeine. Does anyone know if drops contain any traces of caffeine?
I did a few searches both on here and on google and didn't get any real concrete answers.
