Ugh.... I have the dreaded sinus infection. My throat is killing me, and "throat hit" sucks right now. It friggin hurts. Even my juices that have very low throat hit hurt. I actually lit a cig cause I was having a nic fit. Now my mouth tastes like crap. Ick. Hopefully the antibiotics kick in soon.... cause I need my nic fix.

So sorry :( -do you have any plain VG nic you could vape? Not the tastiest thing but better than cigs! I read this really awful review of them recently! ;)

Nope.... I'm waaaaay too clumsy and impatient to even think about getting into any DIY mixing. I didn't get through the whole cig this time. Couldn't do it. 3 puffs in, I had to toss it. Ya know, there really is very little smoke exhaled. I think most of the smoke was coming from the end of the cigarette. I'm starting to wonder why we're always chasing more vapor when there's far more produced by a 78mm with a standard carto of pure PG than an actual cigarette produces. Interesting.

Patches could work in a pinch, or the nic gum

When I tried the patch a few years ago..... my skin actually bubbled. (Oh and I still smoked on it.) I'll skip that experience again. I didn't like the taste of the gum, but it's been a while. It just didn't work. I think I'm far more hand to mouth fixated than addicted to the nic.

Or, drip some juice you don't like on your wrist at the pulse point and rub it in...trust me, I play a doctor on TV.

LOL.... They should just make a nicotine body spray for the summer. It would be refreshing and quench those nicotine cravings. LOL


Doing better today. The meds seem to be kicking in, and I went through all my sweet/bakery juices and found Ice Cream doesn't bother me. Just the occasional cough when I take too many consecutive drags. In fact, I may have to get ahold of my BFF and let her try this one. She can't seem to vape without coughing for some reason.

Your BFF- what ratio of PG:VG is she using? Some people have terrible sensitivity to PG. You want to stay hydrated esp. when sick and vaping.

She's tried mine. I'm 60/40 on the VG/PG. Higher PG kills me on the throat hit. Of course we both chain smoked ultralights for hours at a time.... so of course I don't like harsh. I'd drop the nic, but it's only 12mg to begin with.

So... met up with kcos, and I'm now in possession of Zen mini #0006. Got it home, took the new 18350 battery off the charger, prayed the only drip tip I own would fit (it does barely), and fired it up.

AND.... HARSH! kept getting misfires, inconsistent fires, just could not take the throat hit. Total frustration zone. Then decided I gotta do something about the button being stiff. Found pchela's nicely written faq page and proceeded to take the button apart. (Yes, newbie that doesn't fiddle taking something apart with a screw driver). Well.... once I got the magnets unstuck from each other took one small one out and put it back together, smoothness, consistent firing, and only slightly harsh and far fewer dry hits. Ahhh better. Decided to try another juice instead, syringed it out, flushed with water, filled all the way to the top with new juice.... accidentally pushing a little too hard and having juice come up through the wick hole. OMG, should I rinse it, dry it, wipe it? Wiped off around the tank but decided not to touch the wick.... and started vaping..........

AND... now I'm loving it. Still getting used to pinky or ring finger on the button instead of my thumb on my other pvs, but I'm pretty sure I could get used to this. LOL :evil:
