Question about 36mg

[Brooke1975]

When I first started a week ago I was vaping 24mg alot with 18mg in the middle. I really chained vaped. Today I got my 36mg and I wanted to know the opinions on how long I should wait on deciding if the 36mg is right or wrong for me. I have the dizziness and funny feeling as I did when I first started vaping. I do find myself a little "pissy"as if I need more nic since I started vaping, not really bad though. I know I will have to find what is best for me but I need to start buying liquid to refill instead of spending a small fortune on all of these cartos that may not be for me with the different mgs. I do like to vape alot and want to constantly have one with me to puff on so maybe the 36mg is too high for that. I could mix the mgs up, lower to just puff on and higher when I really need it. I go through 1 28mg and 1 18mg carto a day. Is that alot in anyone's opinion?

2 cartos a day isn't bad at all, much better than 2 packs of smokes, and a tad cheaper. As far as finding what's right for you. If you are feeling ill effects, then yes, you should slow down a bit. Only you can decide what works, if i remember correctly you are mildly new to vapor, and there is a decent curve to learning and experiencing all "vaping" has to offer.

Some people use 2 different nic sets daily, one higher and one lower. I personally switch between high(5ml bottles) to 24mg(30ml bottles) to 18mg (carts) throughout a day, all depends on my mood. Nicotine doesn't effect my sleep, i have heard it does with others though. Good luck.

Edit:There was a post somewhere where Steve said he uses like 9 cartomizers a day..some people use 1 with refills periodically, 2 with no refills, 4 etc...different strokes.

Thanks so much! Yes I am new to vaping, 1 week today I have become quite use to using the 24mg and 18mg cartos, 1 each, through out the day. I thought I would try the 36mg before ordering juice for refills. I am not sure that the 36mg is going to work for myself. I have been doing well with the other except for a few little pissy times, LOL. Not anything bad enough to change my routine. I know if I smoke the 36mg cartos I have now then the 18mgs will seem like nothing. I know I wasn't getting my normal nic level with the 24mg as I smoked a pack and half a day. I heard that equals around 30mg a day. So maybe I will stick with the 24mg mixed with the 18mg. I am just now starting on the 36mg and I knew it would have this effect on me but I don't want to ruin my love or effects for the 24mg or 18mg cartos I have. This is one step in stepping down my nic level. It looks like increasing it isn't going to work out. Thanks again!

No, I go through two to three 24mg cartos a day. So the fact you are going through a 18 and a 28 isn't bad at all.

Brooke did you mean a 24 and not a28mg carto..? No that is not bad at all. I vape the 36 all day, but I go through 2 cartos with several top offs throughout the day. The high strength was the only way to get past my cravings for analogs.

Oops yes I meant 24mg LOL. I just got some 36mg cartos and decided already they are not for me. I think vaping on the 24mg and 18mg throughout the day has decreased my nic intake which would have been around 30mg a day. Or there about made it equal. I don't like the way the 36mg ones make me feel. I have put them up in a thread to sell or trade and also in the trading thread if you find any there you want. To each there own

I vape 36mg, 2.5ml/day.

Deadman - a "tad cheaper"?

$10 for 5 = $2ea. 2*$2 = $4. $6 is about the average going rate for a pack of cigarettes (last I researched a couple months ago) these days (more here in California). 2 * $6 = $12.

$12 * 30 days = $360/mo
$4 * 30 days = $120/mo

120 / 360 = 33% ~= 66% savings. Throw in the cost of batteries, chargers, etc, and I'm personally at ~60% savings (although I refill).

For me, it equates to about $2400/year savings. Hard to call it "a tad" for me - it's the equivalent of V4L buying me a car (or making my car payment really) as a "thank you for shopping with us". That's not unsubstantial for me.

 

[terrie1]

Addy I agree. I estimated my cost of vaping to be 1/3 what I paid for in analogs, so 33.3%. Im just fine with it! I do refill, and boil my cartos to get a second round from them in a pinch. It's very economical.

 

[Adrenalynn]

From your signature banner, Terrie, assuming it's accurate - V4L is paying for a BMW 328i-L6 sedan for you. Congrats.

$1577 / 4.75 = $332/mo. If you got decent terms, that'd buy a base-model Beemer.

Ummmm I believe it was a figure of speech he used not really anything to go and get your calculator out about. LOL

Do you have 18 or 24 in the same flavor? If you have 18, you can mix some 36 in it and you end up up with a batch between 20 and 32.

It's also not a bad idea to keep supplies handy if you're able to. Sometimes the mail runs late, sometimes your flavor strength may be out of stock, etc.

 

[Adrenalynn]

My calculator is conveniently centrally-located behind my eyeballs and in-betwixt my ears, so it's easy to get to.

 

[Brooke1975]

HAHAHAHAHA You are too funny!

They are all in cartos as I haven't bought any juice yet, until just now, because I was waiting to see what mg of nicotine fit me best. I will keep this in mind, thanks!

I think as long as you're not having heart palpitations at a certain strength I'd say you're OK . . I'm just fine at 24mg, but at 36mg it felt like my heart was trying to punch its way out of my chest
