Sub Ohming for Newbies (Not new to vaping)

[Baditude]

Also the reason sub-ohmer use less nic in their juice is because of the amount of vapor being delivered and along with that the amount of nic being delivered with that vapor.

They, you, are still getting the same amount of nic as they did before.
That and the harder throat hit from higher nic levels.

Sub-Ohming and with that cutting down on the nicotine strength you are using is not dropping the amount of nicotine you are ingesting.

It is supplying the same amount of nicotine to your system in a shorter period of time.

For the OP that stated they are trying, will try, to get off nicotine completely in my opinion Sub-Ohming is a poor choice to do that.

At some point you, and the people around you, have to Buck Up (Grow a pair) and deal with the withdraw symptoms to be completely free of nicotine.

I respect your right to have your own perspective. However, I already "have a pair", thank you very much.

Perhaps had you read more closely, I have been dripping "0 nicotine" e-liquid as well as straight vegetable glycerin (no nicotine) in the last couple of weeks since sub-ohming. I admit I prefer the 6 mg over 0 mg, but I'm using the 0 mg more and more every day. It works, I'm experiencing no or little withdrawal symptoms from the lack of nicotine.

I sincerely believe that I could never use 0 nicotine or simple Vg without sub-ohming and avoid the withdrawal symptoms you spoke of, just as I believe I could never have quit smoking without vaping.

I have a few friends who were smokers, who have quit because of vaping, and who have stopped using nicotine in their e-liquids since they have been sub-ohming. That's the main reason that I tried sub-ohming, because it seemed to help them to stop using nicotine and stay off of it. They don't need the nicotine any longer. The act of inhaling/exhaling concentrated vapor and the hand-to-mouth behavior reinforces whatever "need" we have to the smoking and/or nicotine.

Hey, whatever it takes to stay off the smokes, right? Same thing, what ever it takes to get off the nicotine...

Little trick for throat hit once you've lowered your nic level:

Get some 6 mg nic base (or 12 mg if you really want a big TH) - it doesn't matter what ratio of PG/VG - whatever you like best.

Pour some organic Stevia crystals in the bottom of a mason jar (make sure it has a good, tight-fitting lid) and pour your unflavored nic base into the jar to cover the crystals completely, plus about another two inches.

Place the jar without lid in the microwave for 10 seconds (only - do not exceed). Then set the jar in a warm bath for 20 minutes. Shake vigorously when done and store in a dark cabinet.

Withdraw a bit of the sweet base into a small dripper bottle. Be sure to wait till the crystals that did not dissolve fall to the bottom of the jar, and remove your liquid from the top portion. (Eventually they will all dissolve, but it takes a while - this way you can start using it right away.)

Now, whenever you want a touch of throat hit (or a small nic rush - good in the morning with coffee!), just drop one or two drops of your sweet base on top of an already saturated wick. Since the nic base is sweet, it does not "water down" or decrease the flavor of the juice you are using, but it has enough nic in it to give you what you are craving... in measured amounts and only when you want it.

Not recommended for certain rare flavors, but works with almost any e-juice flavor. Will not work obviously if you are using a tank system like the Protank (because it's too hard to get to the wick/coil), but is easy to use with any rebuildable dripper or genny. Because you use it only when you are craving a little "extra something," your nic level remains low for most of your vaping time.

Enjoy!
