6mg in a subohm tank i would say is the max id advise anyone to go

12mg is for mtl f,,f,,s lol
I used 18mg in my first sub ohm tank. Had to ease down to 12mg. Going from 50 to 6 is too big a gap imo. Important thing is to keep the OP vaping.

My thought was that since she is overdosing, it's best to get her low enough to ease the illness before finding the exact right strength - and you never know 3mg might be right..

My son smoked over 2 packs a day but prefers the 3mg strength for subohming, so the 6 seemed a better middle ground starting place for someone currently extremely sick with overdosing..

Hell we don't even know if the OP is currently hospitalized so in the end it's all opinion.

my posts of what mg i vape at what wattage usually get threads moved to "not advisable"

but, i started low, and slowly moved up to find my sweet spot

also, mention it to a health professional. Even just your pharmacist can ask questions about things lke seasonal allergies and asthma :)

I vaped 24mg juice in a Joye 510 and an eGo when I first transitioned from 2PAD smoking to vaping. It didn't take long for me to start titrating downward in nic to 3mg strength.

50mg juice, especially in a sub ohm mode, is WAY too high even for heavy smokers switching to vaping. As others have said, it's very dangerous.

I've felt out of breath before from vaping 50mg in a pod device. It's way too high for me. I can't imagine it from a sub-ohm device.

If I took a good two pulls from the pod with 50mg in it, I would feel out of breath. Took a second for me to catch my breath and feel like I was breathing normally again.

Every once in a while, I go up to 35mg these days, but usually at 24mg (freebase) when I vape pods these days.

Yes, a high dose of nic like that will make you feel out of breath and trying to get your breathing right again.

You once referred to me as nuts for vaping 6mg at 60(ish) watts. Although there maybe some truth to the nuts reference, it is certainly not due to my vaping habits. How could you possible know how much nic I am consuming by me just stating 6mg at 60watts?

How much nicotine do you consume in a day?

Where the hell did you even get juice with that much nic imbpretty sure that 36 mg is the legal max
They sell 55mg salts. I use 35. I can't imagine 50mg at 65W. 1 used 12 in a mech dripper when I was quitting smoking and that could get you buzzing.

I've obviously titrated down to a lower nic level than most. I vape around 10ml juice x 3mg/ml strength for a daily total of 30mg nic a day. I tried zero nic for a while a couple of years ago and it was boring.

AFAIK, the only down side of nic is that it constricts blood vessels for a while after vaping or smoking. That's only a problem if you have narrowing in your vascular system. If your fingers and toes get cold at your nic level, drop it down and find a point at which that disappears. That's my cue that I've been vaping too hard.

You probably take short hits at that level. It's all about total nic absorption in a day. Some of us hit longer at low levels. Others use high nic and take short hard hits at high wattage. We all unconsciously do what it takes to get nic levels that satisfy. Since there's a sweet spot for everyone most of us actually are in similar ranges of nic absorption. Too much nic makes us get dizzy and have to sit down! We learn our limits quickly :).

Each individual has to find what works for them. 6mg works for you period. All we can do to help is make suggestions and offer up what helped us. Perhaps the OP has a high tolerance for nic and needs more.

I am not American (thought my location was a clear indication of that!)

And I am not taking about the OP who obviously is at the extremes. You jokingly criticized my nic level in another thread and @Letitia for her sound advice. But you have no idea how much we consume, how much we absorb and how much we waste. So how can you possible say 12mg is for MTL and do so in an aggressive manor (F, F, S). And how can I possible be nuts for vaping 6mg at 60 watts? And again, how much nic do you consume?

As for the OP – we have no idea how they came to 50mg. Perhaps that was a recommendation by a friend or a so called expert who may or may not have taken into account the equipment in which they use. Or perhaps the OP just unknowingly purchased a bottle of high nic e-juice and was not the wiser. What is key here is to educate so that they can gain knowledge and understand what nic level may or may not work for them.

Americans might vape less, and they may just vape differently.

We don't have big brother telling us what we can do, so we each do what works for us and depending on how one draws, even on a sub ohm tank 12 might not be extreme for some. For others it's far too much...

In the end of this thread Letita might be right for advising a higher amount, because there has to be some logical reason (we hope) for this OP to have ended up thinking they needed 50mg salts..

I vape zero nicotine and my husband vapes 50mg in pods and once I kissed him after he had some spit back and my lips went numb like I'd been to the dentist.

What I'm not doing is telling him he needs to lower the mg he uses in his pod because this works for him..

In the end we are all different. We find what is the middle ground and advice that, and then people can go up some or down some as they feel they need.

I quit smoking on 18mg in an ego device, and quitting smoking for me was harder than it would be if I had been able to use salts and raise my nicotine levels some..

In the end we look at what device people are using, and give them the middle ground for the amount of cigarettes they used smoke.

"for me and anyone i know hitting 6mg subohm = dizzyness after afew draws"

there are other chems in tobacco that are as adictive as the nicotine you are trying to replace with nicotine only ejuice

"there has to be some logical reason (we hope) for this OP to have ended up thinking they needed 50mg salts"

he bought the mod then bought A ejuice to fill it from another place?

op is fake anyway relax ;)

Which is why when I quit smoking even with vaping 18mg (on an ego) I was in bed three days in severe withdrawals, and not normal for more than two weeks..

Most people dont have that luxury however, of staying in bed and checking out of life until they can deal again, and an adequate level of nicotine makes it far far far easier to deal with both daily life and quitting smoking.

adequate or overdoing it thinking this nicotine will stop the cravings for the other chems making your adiction to nicotine stronger

the lower the nic and 6mg isnt low in subohm means you can be constantly puffing when u struggle with the withdrawls without overdosing on nic

That may be your method to which I respect, but there is not an ounce of evidence that states it will work for every individual.
