While I can respect and understand needing the higher nicotine levels when you first start using the E-Cig, I can't say I understand why you don't try to decrease your levels. Isn't that the whole reason you started to use an E-cig in the first place, so that you could quit smoking? Nicotine is the hard physical addiction that keeps us on these damn things in the first place. I would encourage you all to attempt to lower you nic levels down so that one day you may be COMPLETLY FREE of nicotine and any chance of getting back on cigarettes.

Well Snarky, if that were the case, then most smokers would have decreased their use of tobacco cigs over a period of time to eventually quit analogs, don't you think?

I did NOT buy my e-cig to quit smoking. I bought it because of the increase in taxes back in March/April. I wanted to cut down my analogues purchases. Quitting was a happy accident.

I do not plan on lowering my nic. I use 36 mg because it keeps me off analogues. I enjoy it. It helps with some physiological problems that I would otherwise have to be on heavy FDA medication for.

"I would encourage you all to attempt to lower you nic levels down so that one day you may be COMPLETLY FREE of nicotine"

That's you. That's not everyone.

I'm sure this is a dumb question, but exactly HOW do you go about mixing the liquids? I happen to have both 24 mg. and 48 mg. juice and want to make 36 mg. How much of each would I use? Do I fill the cartridge with mostly 24 mg. and then add a couple drops of 48mg? Is there any more precise was to do this? Or, do you mix it somehow outside of the cartridge? Thanks.

I just dillute the liquid down to the desired strength using glycerin and flavor, I suppose it would get a bit more complex if you're using 2 different strengths of the same flavor and want a strength in between.

I believe the equation you want to use is (concentration1*volume1 + concentration2*volume2)/volume1+volume2

However, instead of solving for what the value of mixing the two in their entirety together would be, you are trying to solve for 36mg/ml, so set up the equation as follows:

48*(how many ml of 48mg you have)+24*x
/
(how many ml of 48mg you have)+x
=36

X is how many ml of 24mg you need to add to whatever amount of 48mg to arrive at 36mg/ml. This has to be done outside of the cart.

I have been a cigar a day smoker for about the last 4 years since I gave up ciggs. I just started on this vaping Monday with the 24mg juice. I was afraid I was using to much because I was hitting it so hard and even having some head aches. After happy hour tonight I got home with 4 empty carts and 2 dead batteries still hungry. Hit the 1/2 a cigar that was sitting on my workbench since the new toy showed up and Ahhhhh, head ache is gone, first time this week I fell good.

I am definetley going to need some stronger juice! Thought I was doing better on nicotine because I was smoking less with the cigars, wrong. I do like the new experience and think it will work just fine in the long run but for now bring on high test.

Very similar to my experience. It was frustrating. I saw the potential of the e-cig, but it just didn't come close to replacing my 3 packs of Kools per day. I spent hours screwing around with cart mods, trying to get them to give up juice faster than they were able. I didn't even realize the problem until I tried dripping some 36mg. juice; Problem solved! Only had 1 analog in the last 3 days.

75mg actually, and it's (blip labs) they're the only place I use these days - 20% lorann watermelon and some glycerin and its amaaaazing.
Everything really is bigger in Texas :)

i think the LD50 for nicotine is something like 60mg give or take lol... so be careful out there people, dont get carried away, lets remember nicotine is tobaccos natural insecticide and it can kill you!:evil:

DANG, my eyes just glazed over and my head started hurting.
Then a thought popped into my head.......
Scubabatdans ejuice calculator would figure that out without your head exploding:thumb:.
