Time to lower NIC level?

[JimmyA]

I'm on day day 3 and feel great. The smells around me are...well...let's just say, I SMELL EVERYTHING NOW! Some not so good!lol Anyway this is how I feel and need some feedback

No desire for a analog, throat is ok (very few drag's at a time), no headaches but...All my friends still smoke and it hard to sit there when they drag on a analog for minutes at a time and all I can take is just a few and that's it.

If I lowered the Nic level, would I be able have that "social time" and that long drag full of smoke that I see them or a veteran vaper have?

I won't touch a analog TRUST me, but I just want that feeling I use to get when taking in a full drag and watching the smoke bellow out.

The more Nic...the better the TH. Vapor is more VG...and warm vapor is more watts. I use 50/50 24mg juice at high watts to get all three. I would wait until all analog detox is done, maybe 3 or 4 weeks, before I would venture in nic reduction

you might want to look into dual cartomizers...

Good job Jimmy, I lowered the nic level on my juice just so I can vape more often without getting too buzzed. Especially when you're out hanging with your friends for hours drinking or whatever. Worked out pretty good for me.

How 'bout you have some lower nic when you're with your friends. And in when alone, vape the hi-nic. Not saying you have to commit to lowering, that's all up to you. But aside from spacing your hits out, try a lower one for social calls.

Good explanation. You didn't say what level of nic you currently use. But lowering the nic level you will lower the throat hit. That can be compensated for to a degree by a more powerful PV that provides warmer vapor which is the other part of good throat hit. Being such a new vapor I would tend to wait, also. Many of us took months before cutting back and then only by one step down, i.e 24mg to 18mg.

You can always just order a few samples and try it out. If it doesn't work for you now, it might in a few weeks.

Sounds like your doing great! Order the same juice just lower nic. That's also a great way to find the right level for you.

What is that?

LOL that's why I asked. Lot of beer and just hangin out...Just seemed odd not hitting as much. LOL

I've been vaping for a year and a half and am still at around 18mg strength. I don't see a need to lower my nic. Keeps me feeling great!

 

[swedishfish]

What type of pv do you have? I'll leave it to someone else to explain (I use them but can't explain the tech stuff) but it's something that you can only use on certain pvs.

 

[Rizzer]

If you are buying from US vendors what is your level 18mg? 24mg?
I pull 48mg all day everyday.

Man up!

Me either. Maybe some day. I don't want to mess with success. Besides I don't think I vape as much as a lot of people- not that there's anything wrong with that. But when I do vape I want a nic kick.

Cartomizers come in several varieties...the most common are single coil and dual coil. They both have a heating element surrounded by an absorbent material that holds the juice. Dual coil cartos have two heating elements in parallel. The difference is the ohm, or resistance, is reduced by 1/2 with dual coil resulting in total higher watts, warmer vapor.

 

[JimmyA]

I actually was told to have a start at 26mg or 24mg and didnt want that much. I was already on "ultra lights" when I started.

I'm at 22mg using a JessyM model with variable settings. Love it but the TH can be harsh and make me cough if I hit it to hard.

Just started using the cart that came with it. Dripping is my preferred method, but I'm hooked on one flavor right now, Stawberry/Kiwi and it just nice not having to drip a lot.

I already have 13 different flavors! LOL all are 22mg though.

Ok I'm having to go back and learn more about this. I'm still a total novice and don't understand a lot. I'm just glad I don't want, crave or even touch a analog!

Thank you for all your help and advice. This forum is by far the best I have ever been in. THANKS!

OMG, I love that picture!

Is this the one you have?

SteelJan and Cozzcon both did a nice review on this-

Jessy S Review - New VV E-cig! - YouTube
Jessy "S" E-Cigarette Review.... - YouTube

I don't know a lot about them. Don't know what's compatable with them. But they're both long time vapors that seem pretty happy with them. I don't know if other parts are compatable or not.

I have the Jessy M 650 mah and It is only compatible with Jessy products I believe. I love the LONG battery life (only charged it once so far) I dont vape A LOT I guess.

I have been reading a LOT in the forum info area and I know now I have to cut back my nic level. The TH is what's getting to me even though I have 3 different settings on it.

I'm always on the lowest setting and it helps but still get a HARD hit and I don't like it.
