Sub Ohm eJuice Nicotine Question

[Maxwell_Edison]

I ordered my first sub ohm kit a couple days ago. I've been vaping for 5 years and sub ohm is completely new to me. I purchased the Kanger Subox Nano, which seems pretty good for a beginner. I can't wait to get it and experience it. While reading about sub ohm I noticed several times that I should use 6mg nicotine or less (to prevent burning). This is a bummer, all my juice is 18 and 24 mg. So first of all is this true? 6mg or less? And if anyone wants to throw out any good advice for a sub ohm beginner I'd appreciate it.

I've been using v/v v/w mods with a locking 5ml tank and a flanged cartridge. I've been told this is old school. Lol. Wow, technology advances fast. Anyway, that's where I'm at with vaping. 10watts, 2 ohm double punched carts. Looking forward to the Nano subox. (It comes with a 1.5 ohm coil that if I had to I suppose I could vape my 18mg ejuice with). idk. 6 mg has me thrown through a loop. Tell me it's not true. j/k. Truth plz. PEACE

That has nothing to do with burning or not. Most people can't handle a lot of nicotine in a sub ohm setup. My dad uses 18mg in an Atlantis with 0.5 ohm coil at 24w and he's just fine. Nothing. burning of any. Me for example, I used 18mg in an iTaste and iClear tank. I couldn't do 18mg in a sub ohm setup. 6mg is the most I can handle, but I'm cutting my nicotine down. My dad, anything under 18mg doesn't work for him still.

So it's not that it tastes burnt, it's that at sub ohm the nicotine is stronger? It hits you harder is what you're saying?

You are going to get a lot more vapor. Personally I dont like subtanks. All that airflow mutes the flavor.

If you want to try it I would recommend cutting the 18 in half with some vegetable glycerin.

My all day vape is 17mg

I feel the nicotine is stronger at subohm and the throat hit is harsher for me. I'd get nic sick even with 12mg personally in a sub ohm setup, but I know people that can drip 24mg also. I'd say try it, some can do it, some can't haha.

I've been putting sub ohm off, but I really want to give it a try. I'll just have to fix the juice. Thanks for the feedback.

Obviously I'll just have to play this by ear. The one who wrote this made it sound like a ''warning'' not to use over 6mg. Had me confused. I feel better, thanks peeps

Kudos to your mum. I'm 61 and have been smoke free for 5 years, after smoking for 40 + years. Didn't think it would ever be possible.

I've dripped and sub-ohmed 18mg... And I'm not even a smoker. 2 or 3 hits and I've got a serious nicotine buzz going, but it's doable. Pretty harsh though.

I use a sub ohm setup w 12mg of nic in the tanks at least 50% of the time. No problems at all.

I'll have to try that!

Most folks, me included, would recommend that you cut your nic level by about half. Nothing to do with burning or throat hit or anything like that, but simply the fact that you are going to take in about 2x as much nicotine in each puff as you were on a supra-ohm rig. Nic can make some folks sick if they overdo it, so it's recommended that you adjust your nic level to compensate for the added volume of consumption.

OI couldn't do the 18mg. I bought a bottle of 8mg. I might need to go up a little, but the 18 was way too much. BTW, I'm loving the sub ohm. Drawbacks are uses a lot more ejuice, battery doesn't last as long. But so worth it.

 

[Hans Wermhat]

If they are the same flavor, you can mix the 8mg and 18mg to get a higher nic level.

I sub ohm at zero nic. Vape is so toasty and flavorful you don't need nicotine for TH, you only need it if you still need the chemical for the buzz, which I do not.
