I think you missed my qualifier:
(Just one of the many reasons I dislike the term "sleeping for general DIY usage. I broke my own rule; and it bit me in the rump.)
If you read some of the natural extract threads, here on ECF; you will see that often the poster recommends aging the
finished extract (
post-initial genuine steep,
and filtration),
before using to create the actual final e-liquids (which requires its own additional aging).
That was what I was trying to refer to.
I'm not sure what is so extreme.
I too enjoy vaping, and DIYing, and the on-going creation (or, at least plagiarizing all of you real creators
). What I didn't like, was vaping was beginning to interfere with other aspects of my life. Much like smoking used to do (when can I smoke, where can I smoke, where
are my smokes, now where's my lighter, etc.). I didn't like that sense of vaping controlling me, nor did I like how I was feeling (the heavy chest issues previously mentioned), so I endeavored to change it.
I thought if I vaped about a third of what I was currently vaping at would be a good target. Tripling the nic seemed logical... at least in my cottage cheese mind. So that's what I did.
The result ended up being closer to an 80% reduction; but I'm okay with that. Hindsight now tells me I probably could have gotten away with 12-14% and been on target. It wasn't what I aimed for; but I'll take it as a bonus. If that is extreme; then so be it.
I am hobbling off to bed now, and try to steal a few hours sleep. I hope everyone has a good day!
