This is what I understand from the reading I have done so far.
I am not an authority on this subject, so if anyone can assist here, please do!

At 100% purity, nicotine is very poisonous!
You cannot even open a container of it in a room without proper precautions or you risk poisoning everyone in the room.

However, when mixed with PG and/or VG, it is only **mg/mL and when vaping, it is not absorbed into your body as easily as it is absorbed through cigarette tobacco smoke.
Unless you know exactly what you are doing, I would suggest DIY with the highest nicotine mixture of 50mg/mL, and even then you should use gloves and wash it off of your skin immediately if you get it on your skin.
Precautions should always be taken not to get it on your skin, and especially do not drink or swallow it if it gets into your mouth, it is a poison.
When vaping too much nicotine, the nicotine will give you a headache, and you will know to back off way before you can vape enough to be poisoned.
If you find yourself getting headaches from vaping, then you should either vape less or vape lower mg/mL.

Be very careful to keep it away from children and pets.
Cats are especially attracted to it and it has an especially poisonous effect on them.
Most children can open a child-proof cap more easily than we can, and the little "beasties" like cats and dogs will just chew through the bottle.
Come to think of it, so may a child!

Pure nicotine 100mg/ml is dangerous and should only be dealt with if you know what you are doing and wearing gloves (though I don't wear gloves but do was my hands right after dealing with it....)

If you buy your E-juice from the stores the highest i believe is 32? (sorry but it has been a long time since I bought as I make my own). In that case there is nothing to be afraid of even if chain vaping (you may get a soar throat from high nicotine as nicotine adds ALOT to the throat hit and a headach). If I remember correctly you need to take 1 or 3 tea or tablespoons of pure nicotine to die. (I started with 24mg, now I smoke 2mg).

As for the rest of your question I dont quite understand it. Can you please rephrase what you are asking?

Thanks for your answer first of all you answer what i just want to know lool so forget about the other thing. My main question was about it's deanger to vap for long time or it's a normal thing. So from your answer I get that the 24 MG to 32 MG a normal thing and I think by time i will be down with nicotien as well to be on 16 MG .
Wish that I get you right.

Thanks again

Pure nicotine is 100% pure nicotine, not mixed with anything else; however, I doubt that it could be purchased in that state of purity without some kind of a license to handle it because of its toxicity.

100mg/mL is not pure nicotine, but it is a dangerously high content of mg of nicotine per mL of PG and/or VG, which is a mixture and not pure.


You can purchase nicotine at 100mg/mL, but it is not allowed to be promoted on the ECF, and for good reason...it is very toxic even at this ratio of mixture.

You can purchase 50mg/mL, which is what I use for my DIY to mix to a lower nicotine mg/mL; even at this ratio of nicotine to PG, it is still prudent to take precautions when handling it.

Honestly it depends. I doubt it can be TOO dangerous as your body will tell you to back off. I know that when i used to vape at 24mg I couldn't do it non stop because I would get a sore throat or a headache, light headed (this was a surprise because I chain smoked and was at 2 packs a day at the time). Your body will tell you that before anything bad can happen. Honestly now since I am at a lower nicotine level (even at 8mg/ml) I was able to chain vape ALL day. On average I chain vape about 5lm a day, sometimes more or sometimes less but it is constant. I use a Silver Bullet, LR Atomizer with a 2900mah 3.7 volt and the battery doesn't quite last the whole day.

In my honest opinion you can try to buy one at a higher nicotine level and another at a lower and see how you feel. If you want to chain vape, I suggest you vape at lower nicotine level (8mg or so) so you dont get any of the negative side effects.

One last thing, there is no "normal" nicotine range. Everyone has their own personal opinion. Some prefer 12 or 18 for the throat hit. I have friends that smoke 0 nicotine because they were past smokers and its just a habit of smoking. Some need more for the throat hit. I use menthol for my throat hit since I love menthol. Some start at a higher nicotine so they can smoke it like a analog so they can satisfy their nicotine craving. Some want to reduce it to quite smoking in general and some dont quite care about how much nicotine as long as there is a throat hit.

I once asked a question about how much nicotine I needed because I was a 2 pack a day smoker for Marlboro Smooths (like REDS but menthol) 100's. I was told by everyone to try 18 and 24 and 32 and see what I liked. Due to me being short on cash I started with the medium amount of 24 and if i needed more I just vaped more. Even at 24 the throat hit to me was very harsh. I enjoyed an analog throat hit but at 24 it just felt weird and harsh. Good thing I didn't do 32. I bought 18 at it wasn't as bad but still felt a bit weird.

I originally started E-cigs to quite smoking. Now I chain vape for the pleasure of it and that is why my nicotine level is soo low. After I'm out of nicotine im thinking about going 0nic.

Overdoing the nicotine while vaping is the same as it was with real tobacco. My second cigar ever was a Rocky Patel Edge, a really strong maduro. I had to rush somewhere so I smoked that thing as fast as I could. I felt like I was going to die! Light headedness, extremely upset stomach, sweating, nausea, and everything else. When I've vaped high nicotine than usual either quickly or for a longer period of time, the same thing happens.

One thing that many DIY-ers, including myself, do is to down mix the Nicotine Base to a Lower mg Level when they receive it.

Meaning, when I receive 100mg Nicotine Base to be used for DIY, I dilute it down to 22mg. I were Gloves and Eye Protection for the Entire Process. I also like to work over a Stainless Steel Baking Sheet just in case something spills.

At 22mg, the Nicotine Base is now at a Much Safer level to handle and I don’t have to work with 100mg Nicotine Base Every time I want to make a 15ml DIY Recipe.

Ammm you guys just really wonderfull that give me more information I ordered 24 as all sujest it for me , when I will get every thing I will start and check if it wil be fine with me or no If not I will got down for 18 witch I think will be the best if not 24 . Thanks alot for all your info now I know why when I tried green smoke strong witch it 24 my throt really harsh.
My best Regards for you


I smoked 1/2 to a pack of camel lights a day for 15 years. I started at 24 mg, but I vape too much and it gives me a headache, so I bought some 14 and 18 for my next order. I'd eventually like to get off the nicotine, but I'm not so worried about it for right now.

In ur case u dont consider as heavy smoker so that fine, but I have the same opinion with u that if not 24 so I will go to 18 mg.

100 mg. is Not pure nicotine! 100 mg. is 10%. 1000mg per ml. is pure.
