Stronger MG juice? or is it normal to puff and puff and puff.....

[maf2k8]

Hey all! Ok so here my problem. I have been off analogs for almost 2 months now. I started off with your basic 510 ecig. The next week into vaping i got a prodigy and also a silver bullet.

Now, my Prodigy is 5volts and my SB can be either 3.7 or 6 volts.

I notice that after about 1 week of vaping and as time goes on, i am puffing and puffing and puffing NON STOP! I mean i have no complaints, but i never put my prodigy or SB down really.

I have always used 11mg of juice since day 1. I use to smoke 1 to 1 1/2 packs of cigs a day.

Should i up my Nicotine level on the juice to maybe 36mg or so? i know your suppose to go DOWN in MG, but is the reason why i am puffing all day long due to the 11mg juice?

I just dont want to purchase 36mg of juice and end up STILL puffing like a maniac and have triple the nicotine flowing thru me, ya know?

Is a higher nic level more satisfying? ( compare to say smoke a ultra light analog to a full flavor one ) is the taste the exact same?

any feedback would be great, thanks!

Yes, more will let some ppl put it down - ymmv. Before you go to 36mg, try around 18 or 24. Or maybe pick up some 36/48/60mg unflavored, and add a bit of it to your 11mg until you feel its satisfying, and find your sweet spot for when you need a bit more.

I don't believe in a single number. I use 0mg, 6-12mg, and 12-18mg (with the occasional 24 or 30mg) throughout the day. Each amount has its purpose for me, and that has done well for controlling my cravings.

I don't know about others, but I don't consciously feel "I have now inhaled enough nicotine. I will put down my PV for a while." It's more "am I in a situation where I can vape? Great, I'll have some puffs."

I have an hour commute and I tend to chain vape my 808 the whole time to and from work. I keep two of them and go back and forth every few puffs. I am using 11mg and 24mg..I don't really notice any difference, either in taste, throat hit or how much I vape.

If you feel line you're vaping too much, slow down! If you feel fine, don't worry about it. Personally, no matter how much I vape, I feel so much better than when I was smoking cigarettes.

You're only "supposed" to go down in strength if you're trying to quit nicotine. Personally, I'm happy to just be a tar-free nicotine fiend.

I smoked about 30 unfiltered cigarettes a day (last one was Sept. 27), and 36mg makes me woozy after a puff or two. Try 18mg or 24mg first, or have some plain PG or VG on hand to cut it in case you (like me) find that it's just too much to vape on a regular basis.

I vape almost constantly too but I think it's because I love the feel and taste of the vapor. Has nothing to do with nicotine. I make my own juice and some is no nic some is 12mg nic and some is 24 nic.

Can't put these damn things down..........I love em....

I was a full flavor menthol analogue smoker so initially I bought 36mg... And let me tell you, it does the trick... If you went to that you would definitely sit it down. I use the 36mg (menthol)when Im out and about just to curb my nicotine monkeys and 18mg or 24mg when im just sitting at home enjoying a tasty flavor.

Yeppers i Vape 24 mg and have no intention of going down in strength anytime soon. My strategy has been anytime i want an analog take a puff or two off the vape if that means i pick it up every 15-30 min for a puff or two its a small price to pay imo

That and vaping kicks a lot of ...

This is a the common sense approach SLDS.

maf2k8, I only have my own anecdotal experience to offer but for me, if I vape under 36mg for much more than 48 hrs I get REALLY ugly!

For sure, get some 36mg unflavored, PG or VG for cutting, some flavoring and find your level. Folks maintain w/o problem at any nicotine level you want to call out, every one of us has different needs.

DIY juice forum has the answers to any questions you will have regarding cutting and mixing.

mine was a 20 a day habit and i jumped straight into vaping at 36mg and i find i hit it hard for about 15-20 mins and then i have to put it down as the nic starts making me feel a bit woozy i put it down for maybe an hour then hit it again im happy with that as it sort of resembles my analogue habit. you just have to experiment and find a routine that works for you everybody does it differently i think.

Three packs a day of ultralites. I've got 24mg all the way down to very low mg. (I mix mine to low mg.

My opinion...you can get use to 'any' level over a period of time. (I puff and puff sometimes, other days it was like smoking regulars--once or twice an hour).

 

[telsie]

I'm still trying to figure all this mg stuff out because it doesn't seem like any one strength is right for me at all times. 18mg seems to be a good baseline (for me), but sometimes I catch myself puffing and puffing in a desperate attempt to catch a good hit. When I finally realize why I'm puffing so much, I stick a couple drops of 24mg in the cart and it's incredibly satisfying. Other times, I'm really just going through the motions because I'm enjoying the flavor. I can't yet say if 11mg will work well for those times since I don't have an 11mg flavor on hand that I like, but that's my plan (and I've got some on order).

I vape anything from 24 mg down to 8 mg , which is just some 16 or 24 mg juice cut with VG and Distilled water.

I feel I got to put it down after puffing on the 24 mg juice for awhile. The other stuff I could puff all day , except sometimes I get tired of a flavor and go to something else.

I was a pack to pack and a half a day smoker. I have been chain vaping more and more, and in the last 2 months, I have found it to get to a constant level. I was vaping 18 and 24. Went to 36, and it got better, but still could not put my Chuck down for more than 5-10 minutes unless I was busy. I have now gone to vaping 45mg straight. I can now get about 20-30 min off of 5-8 inhales without needing more. As others have said, I do not care that I am still addicted to nicotine, all I care about is that I stay off the analogs.

Vape on.

Where are you getting your 45mg from?

is it really ok to just keep puff puff high nicotine stuff? i vape like a lot! i been puff puff 2-4 drags every 10 min. i dont even smoke(analog) that much but since vaping is so easy and fun, i just cant stop. i dont think i am "into" nicotine that much(i used to smoke like 4-5 analog). and now i am vaping 26mg dripped to atty's every 15-30 mins. i am willing to vape less nic as long as they produce much vapor. lets not play with atty or battery mod. any advise? how to inc vapor production without increasing nicotine level?

why cant i edit? change that to 10 drags every 10 mins.

 

[Giantfan]

I am vaping constantly, and I am not sure it has anything to do with the nicotine level. I think I just like to vape, so I will be cutting down the nicotine levels on my next order, becsause it has become clear that my vaping habit won't change anyway.

Adding VG increases vapor production, the vapor also hangs in the air longer and if your cutting your PG based juice with zero nic VG , it lowers the nic level depending on how much of it you add. @ Nick I saw 48 mg unflavored juice at litecigusa.net and also at nhaler.com

I'm relatively new to vaping myself. I smoked over a pack a day (Camel non-filters) for nearly 25 years. Used the stock 510 for a few weeks... now I'm using one of Robert's multi-volt "Detonators" (which I love).

After much experimentation with gear and juice, I found my sweet-spot: I cut my juice to 28mg and switch back and forth between 5 and 6+v. I pretty much vape from the moment I wake up to the moment I crash... Hell, I even vape in the middle of the night when tossing and turning.

There was a time not long ago when I wasn't feeling "satisfied" with my vaping experience either... and on the verge of giving up on it altogether. Now that I've dialed it in and know what works for me, I'll NEVER go back to analogs.

Keep tweaking, dude... it'll get there.

Thx MetalGear. does any1 know how/what part of walmart to get VG? earlier today, i tried cvs/walgreen. i asked the attendant about Vegetable Glycerin and only the pharmacist actually know what glycerin is. Takes awhile for them to find it, while they were trying to get the "glycerin" the pharmacist asked me about what i need it for, i didnt say anything. As he give me a "liquid glycerin", i read the item description. The thing is for enema a.k.a for .... I was like er..... i was about to smoke it. ROFL good thing i didnt say things!

if someone can give me direction about how to ask/get for VG, flavored e-juice at walmart, i really appreciate it.
