I've not been a huge fan. When I can vape as I please (about 99% of the time) I prefer the "bite" of regular nic (I normally use 13 mg/ml). The place I've found salts to be useful is in situations where my vaping is limited, such as when I'm working the floor of a trade show. But even then, I ended up mixing the 36 mg salt juice with my regular unflavored to get something in the 25 mg range.Ok, your likely right. I just ordered 240ml of 100mg nic salts to play with then.

Maybe it's designed for folks who are just coming off a pack a day. I used 24mg when I first started, even had a bottle of 36, that would knock me out today.
I've been using salts for a while now, maybe a year or more. I mix it low anyway, 2mg usually, or even 1mg. Zero throat hit at that level. When I travel, I mix it around 8mg or so. Helps in situations where I can't vape as frequently. I'll be switching back to regular nic once my bottle runs dry, just because I'm not inclined to re-order the salts since I typically vape such low mg/ml anyway.
when we started there was no such thing back then, it was cigalikes for me the first year. Now I am the same as you, mix big, fill a small tank for the provari or squonk bottle for the reo or Vmod (yes I still use them), change a battery and find it carefree compared to blue fishtank filters or cartos LOL
Is it ok so feel so...sad, angry...considering what we know and have been through that it has come to this?
I thought salts were a gimmick at first.. I really like them nowOk, your likely right. I just ordered 240ml of 100mg nic salts to play with then.
I used 36mg when I first started, did that for like 7 years... but recently over the past 5 years or so I have slowly scaled down to 18mg... Not sure how some of these people are doing just 3mg, I would go bonkers.... but with my current stash of just 11.5L (gotta split that with the wife) I may need to taper down some more to make it last a lifetime. Thinking of getting another liter or two so i am more comfortable and can taper down a bit more slowly.
I hope so, because I feel the same way.
I'm a little slower on the uptake than some. It took me 6 months to stumble across the flavor that made me forget to smoke. I don't see that changing. In fact with fewer flavors, that decision and conclusion sort of vanish. You'll either learn to like what's available or not.
That said, it was about 3 yrs of trial & error before I got the vaping thing low maintenance enough to truly be considered as convenient as smoking. As in fresh tank and battery in the morning to run all day, and not something prone to leaks, coil failures, etc.
Or maybe designed by people that have no experience vaping or smoking. At the very least by a tightly controlled focus group of smokers given only a small selection of crappy mass-market c-store vapes to choose which one they liked the most. Least worst if you will.
I tend to like having a "throat hit" so likely won't like the salts much.
While the shops I stopped by had 0 nic juice nether of them had unflavored. (something that might change here in the coming days/weeks/months)

I hate to see vape shops closing. That means some people will go back to smoking cigarettes. It's a win for big tobacco, but a loss for those who vape. If you don't DIY, it's time to learn.
Extending nic life is all about mix levels. If you can titrate slowly down to a lower level your liter of 100mg nic can last for many years if you freeze it. I started at 24mg nic back in 2010. Several years ago I began to drop my nic level periodically. I've been at 3mg strength since then. Vaping 8ml per day at 3mg/ml nic levels translates to 9 years per liter of 100mg nic. The two liters in my freezer should take me out to late 2037.

In some of these states where possession is illegal, I wonder what they want the shops to do with their flavored liquid inventory? Throw it away? smh
No kidding. I cannot imagine how those shop owners feel.
Did you watch that video of a shop owner I posted earlier, in I think this thread? You'd think they'd at least allow them to sell their wares online to customers out-of-state.The grocery store sells meat injection syringe, that are 30/35 ml. Cut the point off with your wire cutters. It will make your diy much easier.
If I owned a vape shop in MA, I would have cut a deal with an out of state vendor and rented a Penske truck to move it last week. It probably would have been a below cost deal to liquidate, but any price would be a better deal than being stuck holding all that inventory for at least 4 months. Not to mention, the ready made stuff does have a shelf life not much longer than that.
Every week or so I would make my mix a mg lower so that I finally got down to 5 mg. I didnt notice it at all. Started at 24 mg. I cant seem to mske that leap to 3 mg though. Seems so huge. Lol
Nope. Chain vape just as much on 5 mg as I did on 24 mg.
I wind up vaping the same amount of puffs no matter my mg/ml. It's weird, but I guess my addiction is mostly the hand-to-mouth aspect.
