Over Zealous Newbie....???

You may be hyperventilating a bit, put down the PV and deep breaths into a small paper bag may help!

Seriously you're probably not getting too much nicotine (unless you tried all 60 flavors) that quickly.
Diluting your juice with a little 100% UPSP glycerin (VG) would tell you if it's the case. An easier way
is if you're not craving an analog, stop vaping for a while. (I know, it seem impossible, it tasts good,
it's new, it's fun, it's....)

I know it's tough, I've received a shipment of 10 new juices and had to try every one as fast as I
could open the bottles. Then go back over each to see if my first impressions were correct.

Hi Virginia, welcome.

I think you will be able to make the switch just fine All you need is a little motivation (and it looks like you have a lot of that lol) to keep sticking with it, and after about a month or so, you won't even want a cigarette anymore.

The biggest challenge will be at the beginning... vaping doesn't taste like cigarettes, NOTHING tastes like cigarettes except a cigarette. My first thought when I first tried a E-cig was, "Ugh, this tastes like crap!" But if you just stick with it your body and taste buds will adapt to vaping pretty soon.

You can usually find a small bottle of VG (labeled "Wilton's glycerine") at a craft store (like Michaels) or walmart near where they keep fancy cake decorating stuff. Add some of that to your e-liquid to cut the nicotine mg's down -- you'll be cutting the flavor too, but maybe worth it for now.

On your next order, get some 0mg e-liquids in similar flavor to what you have and cut with that so that you don't cut the flavor of the rest of your juice. It doesn't have to be exactly the same flavor to work out, sometimes it's even nicer if it's not, but you'll just have to experiment with it.

Looks like you are going to start your journey into DIY a bit early, like it or not! LOL Really, it's not that scary once you get started: put a couple paper towels down, wear rubber gloves, clean up after.. no biggie.

OMG are you serious...is that what VG is. I've got Vats of that stuff here at home....I'm a cake decorator. Holy heck how funny is that. It seems like I'm predisposed to mad e-juice scientist. I've got tons of the flavorings also...I can see this getting out of hand quite quickly lol.

I think in terms of the inhaling that I'm doing it correctly, in general im a slow dragger with analogs too....unless its freezing outside and im trying to grab a few puffs before b-lining it back indoors. It's actually much better today. I also read a few threads on here about opening the bottles to let them breathe for a few days, so I've done that. I've sampled a few of the flavors that I purchased and have pineapple to be the most pleasing at this point so Im using only that for now until i let the others chill out for a few days then i get back to taste testing. I've already earmarked a few of them for PIF....they're gross and I can't imagine even wanting to try them again even after letting them sit.

OH I don't think I have to worry about going back to analogs at all...in all honestly I haven;t been thrilled with them for some time now, they actually gross me out it's just that i didnt have an alternative to get the nicotine...but now I do YIPPEE!!!!
I haven't had an analog since thursday night when i ran out. I refused to buy more cause i just new my packages would arrive on friday, but they didnt....so i suffered through friday (just barely) and thank goodness everything came on saturday. I think the mail lady could see it in my face that i wasnt playing games and needed my nic fix. Usually she won't fork over packages while she at the communal mailbox and waits to deliver them at the individual doors once she's done putting the mail in the boxes. I walked out there on saturday with "THAT LOOK" on my face...she gave me my mail and packages without a fight lol.

Check out the DIY forum, it has lists of flavors considered safe for vaping and which to avoid. I'm a candy cook so I had loads of Loranns also, butter is one to avoid. If you've worked with flavorings before you're going to be a natural for DIY juice!!
