Shouldn't All 24mg Liquid be the Same? Or am I weird?

[Slea]

I've been using prefilled 24mg carts with JC juice in them or dripping 24mg JC juice for about 7 months now, with no issue.

However, my massive supply finally started running low, and the seller who offers prefilled JC carts is no longer offering them. So I found a new seller.

I ordered a whole lot (50) of prefilled 24mg carts. I popped a new one on, vaped away and about half an hour later...

I though I was going to die. Total overdose/panic symptoms. Racing heart, tense, tight chest.

So... anyone else as weird as me? Why would the same mg create that reaction? Or does anyone know anything about JC or My Freedom Smokes that I need to know?

And what am I going to do with 50 carts that make me feel like I'm having a heart attack?

 

[Elendil]

you coud try squeezing some juice out and adding some PG/VG or do the same thing and add some 0 nic juice to dilute a bit.............

 

[Vocalek]

I'd contact the seller and ask to exchange the batch.

Send them to me.

Maybe their mix is stronger than 24mg.

You could post them on the Classified section if the vendor won't let you return them. I'm sorry, that must be very frustrating for you.

i haven't dealt with pre-filled carts all that much but I have encountered liquid that separates in the bottle. 'Tis why shaking the bottle is important, IMHO.

As far as saving your carts, I would drip a couple of drops of PG or VG directly in there and hope that it cuts it down.

No boos for the mfg. I haven't asked them if I can return them yet. I was just curious if others knew something I didn't.

I think I will have to see if I can return them. Thank goodness I still have a box of JC carts left, but I'll blow through those soon.

This is a perfect example of why not to buy pre-filled carts.

It's so much better than having them be too weak.

Not really. I can always drip a little higher juice on to the atomizer to amp up a weak cart, but diluting these carts is really going to be impossible. Besides, the whole point of ordering carts was not to have to fiddle with this kind of stuff.

I knew someone was going to criticize carts, but honestly, I can't stand all the fussing around anymore with filling my own. I just got tired of having all that crap everywhere. Carts are simple, (almost as simple as actual smoking!) and don't involve scary hypodermic needles. I don't want lung cancer and I'll do what I have to, but there are days where I look at all my vaping stuff and say, "God, smoking was so much *easier*!"

I ought to be able to expect some consistency. That has nothing to do with using carts or not.

 

[Elendil]

You should look at a Juice Box.........best of both worlds.

I was not criticizing carts per se, just pointing out that this can happen with prefilled carts, plus the cost is usually much higher.

 

[kase]

Not impossible, but super lame... Why not pull all the fillers and put them in a pile and wring them out into a funnel into a bottle and then cut that with vg, and redrip every single one! Sounds like something fun to do on New Years Eve

My Mom hates filling carts and only wants prefilled, so I feel for you on this.

Keep remembering how much healthier this is for you. My Dad died of lung disease, so I always have that hanging over my head as an gruesome incentive.

DVap, a member who is a chemist, tested liquids for consistency. Not carts, but liquids from reputable sellers. Needless to say, they were not consistent at all, with some liquids at a fraction of the strength that they stated. I'm surprised about the prefilled carts, as liquids from China specifically Dekang, did test with amazing consistency as far as strength was concerned.

The recommendation that you get rid of your carts in the classifieds and replace with lower strength is a sound one. However, you should contact your seller and let them know what happened and find out if they'll exchange unopened 5 packs for a lower strength.

Thanks for that info. That's really the sort of thing I was wondering.

It really is a shame, and sometimes a little scary, but I can feel, see and *smell* the benefits! Hopefully I can get some lower mg. I do have to say the Freedom Smokes liquid *tastes* really good!

I just got a bottle of 24mg juice tobacco flavor, first hit gave me a head rush just like a real smoke, second hit made me dizzy, so im dropping some VG in a few drops at a time shaking the crap out of it and trying it,seems to be calming it down and has great vapor and taste !

Don't automatically assume that the new carts are stronger than 24mg. It's equally as likely that the old carts were weaker than 24mg.

Just sayin'

P.S. Are you using the same atty and batt? That's another distinct possibility that could significantly affect your nic intake.

No your not weird juice is very inconsistant especially if you switch juice makers, both JC and MFS make their own juice. The dekang juice can taste totally different from batch to batch hence you may like a flav on one order and hate it the next time you order it. If the carts are wraped it shouldn't be a prob to return them. let us know what happens keep on Vaping.

Same equipment, yes.


And no, I'm not "blaming" one mfg or the other (for lack of a better word) and MFS is being very gracious.
