Question about DISPOSABLES, specifically Njoy King

[Motivbowler]

Who knows what US juicers put in their juice? There is no regulation, anywhere, in regards to juice making. While some US juicers do get their juce tested and abide by various self imposed standards, the truth is you really aren't any safer buying US juices, and you don't really know whats in it any better.

I can tell you for a fact that China juices such as Dekang are produced in a highly professsional lab environment, not some dudes garage or kitchen. They are safer and more consistent, and are using base materials sourced from US companies (DOW I beleve, although probably from a Chinese based DOW plant I'd imagine)

Many people don't like PG levels as high as Dekang, or don't like the kind of fake candy-like flavoring they use, some people just don't like buying non-American juice period. But there is nothing wrong with Dekang, it's a quality juice, and I'd debate that with anyone.

That is why I said "from what I have heard" about the China juice. I have always just bought from local vendors, and now mix my own. The taste is the main knock that I have always heard about them, always heard that is a pretty dull taste from all of them. Some have said that a lot of them have a weird after taste. 45mg and a heavy pg....that would be a throat burn to most people. A 50/50 blend at 18mg is the sweet spot for me.

I guess what I'm trying to find out is how does a 4.5% King compare to a regular cigarette? With the King am I getting more nicotine with each drag than I would from a real cigarette?

No the battery shouldn't die on you; rather you need to only be concerned that the juice inside of it may dry out... Good luck.... If you are going to totally make the switch depending on how heavy a smoker you are you should consider buying yourself a good starter kit & your own juice because disposables tend to become very expensive in the long run....

45mg! Good Lord

Read this, and don't listen to anybody else...

After you read that you'll be an expert on the subject.
And then you can answer questions for others.

45mg! Good Lord

That is going to be the new trend I think.

Pumping up the nicotine makes you put the thing down now and then.
It makes it more like a cigarette smoking experience.

I tried the 30mg NJoy King and was getting light-headed after a few puffs.
But then I only use 12mg juice so I'm kind of a lightweight.

DC2, what I gather from reading that link is that nobody actually knows how to compare the nicotine levels in e-cigs versus real cigs. Is this accurate? I just want to make sure I'm not "over-nicotining" myself, as I would like to ween myself off of the reliance on nicotine.

Well, that's pretty much the gist of it I guess.

The bottom line for advice is to not worry about using more nicotine or less nicotine.
Just find what works to keep you comfortably off the smokes.

The reason I say that is because almost all vapers find they can reduce their nicotine intake quite easily once off the smokes.

And if you are getting more nicotine than you were, that is not the issue many new vapers think it might be.
Although it is most likely that you are getting less when all is said and done.

If you get too much nicotine, your body will tell you in the form of nausea, headaches, hiccups, and such.
And if you aren't getting enough, you may still have a craving for a smoke now and then.

Yeah, I mean on an average day I probably take no more than 10-15 drags off of this disposable (4.5%). Safe to say that this is probably less nicotine than I was ingesting with my smoking (about 5 cigarettes a day on average), right?

 

[DC2]

Just thinking out loud here...

10-15 drags of 4.5% nicotine is about 30-45 drags of 1.8% nicotine.
30-45 drags of 1.8% nicotine is probably around 5 cigarettes, plus or minus.

That would be my estimate, but others might have different calculations they would use.
