Well I think I will pick up more Nic just to be safe, I can't gain weight because I have a bad hip with bursitis and more weight makes it worse so I am upping my Nic a bit because if it works better at 6 mg than 3 mg, to keep weight off I'm doing it

I am thinking of diy nic patches so that I can still enjoy my eliquid as is 0nicWell I think I will pick up more Nic just to be safe, I can't gain weight because I have a bad hip with bursitis and more weight makes it worse so I am upping my Nic a bit because if it works better at 6 mg than 3 mg, to keep weight off I'm doing it
Yes a Nic patch would work too, have no idea how to DIY them. I never used a patch, how much Nic are in them? Is it slow release so it doesn't hurt the skin? I wonder if you could use a bandaid with a drop of Nic on it???
I used the strongest ones available off the shelf at Wally World (mg???). They did give me a minor skin irritation.
Oh, didnt work for the intended purpose either, I still wanted to kill people......
I am thinking a few drops on a well padded bandaide. or,,, as I tried this morning a couple drops just straight to my skin.
I remember trying them one time..i even remember that day. I was doing really good not smoking.. and then something happened,,, I was mad and picked up a cig,,,geeezzzzzzzzzz, that was like an instant nic o/d,, I got really dizzy......suddenly not mad,,,,but confused isn't any better,,,,,,,,,,i ripped that thing off and it was well into the next day before I felt normal again.
Why don't you vape Nic in your juice?
I am getting to where I like it w/o nic,, but I may have to just bite the bullet.
I was experimenting with the skin drops. so far nothing bad,, maybe slightly feel its effects.
I have unflavored 0mg (for cleaning off dripper wicks for testing new/steeping recipes) and unflavored 3mg juice that I mixed to try and I couldn't really notice a difference in taste, just a bit of TH with the 3mg.
Don't quote me, but I have heard 4mg.
I have heard of people putting 3 or even 4 patches on to get the level they needed...
Zero Nic is ok for me at night but I really miss the Nic at zero, but I really like Key Lime zero, it tastes so clean and fresh
@Sugar_and_Spice @kross8 and others -
I'd been at 115-118lbs. since high school, until about 1996. I then dropped down to 95-97lbs for no reason over a 6 week period of time. Sleep habits had become whacked, had a problem with my nails lifting up from the nail beds on 2 fingers and my thumb on each hand, and had what I call some "twittering" in my legs that made my pantslegs quiver, etc. Crappy doctor (too busy having an affair with his nurse to pay attention to his medical practice) was then treating me for a supposed nail fungus for over a year, since that was 1 of the first symptoms I'd had!
Fed up with crappy doctor, I went to a dermatologist. He looked at my hands & nails, and within 3 minutes...said that's called thyroid taxicosis. It's a dead giveaway of a highly overactive thyroid! He had a TSH test done on me and discovered my thyroid was making enough thyroxine for me and 4 other people! Started seeing an endo., and my thyroid was zapped with a radioactive iodine pill. Been back at my reg. 115-118 again since then...until I quit smoking in 2014.
I'd always had enough energy for me and several other people.. Could do yardwork in 90 degree heat for hours on end with minimal breaks. Built my own 24 x 24 storage building at age 58...every nut, bolt, nail, screw, board, steel roofing panel, etc. Only thing I didn't do was the concrete foundation. So I'm not used to having NO energy at all. It's driving me friggin' nuts, but I can't get any help from doctors with it!
So the only think I can think of to do, without self-regulating my thyroid meds (which I don't want to mess with), is raise the nic in my liquids, and see if it helps. I don't want to do nic patches, because I have a mitral valve prolapse, so years ago doctor would not prescribe nic patches because of it.
I'll be interested if a higher nic level works for anyone else, too! I'm going to try it myself starting tomorrow.

I think the nic patches come in different mg strengths. My doctor said years ago that even the lowest dosage wouldn't be recommended for me. Always wondered why, since my ciggies contained more. Must have had something to do with the nic being absorbed into the skin, instead of through inhalation.
I use vitamin B12 for energy - take it about 2 or 3 times a week. When I tried it every day after a while my body adjusted to it and it stopped helping...
I went back up to 6 mg today and I think I'll stick with that for mornings and early afternoon then down to 3 for late afternoon evening. I don't like feeling draggy either so I think a bit higher for mornings helps
I did notice I wasn't as hungry either so that definately helps! LOL
I was at 6 for a long time until I went back to mainly mech mods. Any more than 2mg in a mech blows my head off.I went back up to 6 mg today and I think I'll stick with that for mornings and early afternoon then down to 3 for late afternoon evening.

I am thinking about going 0mg an hour or two before bed. Apparently NIC isn't the best thing to do just before sleeping.
