vaping 60mg help- and also 'hello' from the newbie

[Nomoreash]

i highly agree with the advice given, and will be purchasing a higher voltage mod with a lower nic juice. now that my question has been answered, i am looking for recommended links to mods. i will aslo be browzing this forum for this info.

I would ultimately recommend a variable voltage mod. That way you can taylor the output to your preference and not have to worry about matching x ohm carto with x volt battery config. The Buzz Pro has just been released, The Provari and Darwin are also great choices along with others but those would be my personal top 3.

If you want to go with a fixed volt regulated there are several 5v mods out. The Silver Bullet is popular among others. Then you have unregulated mods which your basically vaping form the batteries capable output, as they drain the vape will also until they are recharged. You have endless choices with these starting along the lines of the Roughstack.

joemazda...good thing it's only 1 ml a day. Even 48/54 is very high! I DROPPED nic level when I switched from analogs, so I can vape whenever I get the urge but hardly OD. Have you considered doubling flavor to compensate for less nic?

Also note that vaping does not give everything real tobacco smoke does. Maxing out nic still would not give you the real cigar.

i would smoke about 3 b&m a day, sometimes more on weekends. i never smoked during work hours or before work because i dont want to stink when dealing with clients. so the 3 daily b&m would be within a few hours each evening, high concentration for a short time span. also, i had a second job at starbucks for a while, and aside from that have been drinking coffee since i was 4 or 5. my mom would give it to me for my asthma (thus the reason i switched to e-cig) so i have a lot of caffeine in me normally.

 

[joemazda585]

will a 5v fixed or a variable voltage burnup my regular 510 atty? the tank system uses the same 510 atty voltage so hopefully i can use those, since i also bought 2 new tank attys with this order of 60mg mixer.

 

[Mistaree]

yes, 100 percent serious. and i have been using 48mg for months, along with a friend of mine. he is perfectly happy with 48mg. i am halfway satisfied with it.

the vapor production is fine, and i could care less about the flavor. i am interested in the buzz feeling. i understand it is different than a regular cig, but i only feel it about 30-40% of the time when i am vaping.

the reason for this question is that sometimes i still crave a cigar, and maybe once a month i have a regular b&m. i hope to competely eliminate this craving.

I don't think your issue is nicotine strength , it sounds like you need a heavy duty mod for throat hit . You may even want to try a high voltage mod or VV mod . I believe you've been miss informed .I smoked 2 - 3 packs a day . At first I thought I needed higher nicotine , but after more research I realized I needed a Mod . Ego's can only do but so much . If you wanna stay off the blk&milds , get a mod ! And trust you will find that 36g will be good enough . Being a heavy smoker myself I needed something that smoked like a real cig , more than I needed something that looked like a real cig . GET A MOD ! A Silver Bullet , an Omega , if you can afford it a Provari , then let's have this convo

Caffeine and nicotine are probably doing battle in you, one stimulates, the other calms. What if you eased back both at the same time? They'll still battle, but smaller engagements.

 

[joemazda585]

my body is a battlefield? coooolllll..... haha jk.

yes i know the effects of caffeine and nicotene, and quitting caffiene is almost as bad as quitting smoking haha.

With a fixed voltage, I think you would need an HV atty, the others would burn up. But with variable voltage, use a reg atty, same as you have now, and play with the voltage until you hit the sweet spot....when you start to get a burnt taste, turn the votage down.....
And I can use the tanks on mine too.
Lots of variations and combos out there......everyone has different tastes/wants/and needs.

Both of these are great products. Call the phone number on the site and tell them your situation. Perhaps they can rush your order.

Members buy and sell mods and supplies in the classified section on ECF.

I hope you go back to smoking the b&ms until you can get your nic level down vaping. That high of a nic level is not helping you with your cravings. It's dangerous and scary. I hope you're better soon. Be well.

the black n milds give a much stronger nic hit. even at 48mg, it doesnt feel like it is as harmful as the B&M. and that is aside from the other chemicals that you feel from regular smoke. inhaling a cigar is pretty bad.

Me too, take caffeine and nic, just watch your heart rate.

BUT until i purchase a better battery/atty i assume i am not going to end up in the hospital or casket by vaping 60mg/mL with my 3._v e-cig, right? i am not being cheap, the ego-t is the second upgrade in the past couple months. i WILL be upgrading again soon to a higher voltage system.

I think it's a very high risk of cardiac arrest, depending on your age and activity level. If you were smoking after work to relax, your body was already craving nicotine all day long and that in itself is stressful.

I totally get that you are able to handle 48 mg because of your cigar smoking, your body has just adjusted to it. It doesn't mean that it hasn't been overworking your heart though, and even pushing it to 54 mg might be the last straw. I wouldn't do it.

Stay with this forum, I credit it for at least 50% of my ability to give up smoking. Everyone here wants you to succeed and we've got plenty of people who were in your situation and found something that works. Maybe it's going to take finding the time to vape at other times throughout the day so that you're not building up to such strong withdrawal. I didn't like vaping in public, but I do it now because I have to so I don't start smoking again. Most people are so wrapped up in their own stuff that they don't pay attention to what other people are doing anyway.

 

[chriscmc]

Joe - I noticed you are using a small amount of high-strength nicotine liquid. It may be more advisable to try to go with more of less. Many people here seem to use somewhere in the 3-5ml/day range. If possible, I'd recommend vaping more of the 36mg or even down to 24mg. In quitting analogs, I've found that I use my PV far more often but for shorter durations, and most likely keep a more constant level of nicotine in my system. Just my $0.02...

48mg is perhaps best used just by those who have a very high tolerance to nicotine, and who experience strong cravings, but who are desperate not to smoke due to lung disease etc. To go higher than that is just not sensible.

There are better alternatives: higher power (5v, 6v, or VV) and stronger flavoring and/or Snus. Some or all of those should fix it for you. It's hardly a big deal if you have to have a smoke once a month, is it? Just give it time and you will get over it.

 

[Boodle]

He's at 60 not 48. That's nuts.

 

[imbt01]

You will fall over dead and give vaping a bad rep :-(

 

[joemazda585]

so i was thinking about this and basically there is no issue.

if i drink a long island through a straw, or gulp it down, i still take in the same amount of alcohol.

if i am using an underpowered e-cig, then it is the same idea. i am still taking in the same amount of nic as someone else's high-powered mod, i am just drinking it through a straw. so although it seems like i am ironman or suicidal using 54mg straight, in reality i am using less than all of you. i am sipping my drink through a straw.

i did mix the juice and am currently vaping a 54mg mix. and i dont think my 54 mix through a straw is any more risky than someone else's 24mg mix being gulped down. especially when i am taking in a total of 1ml per day, compared to others at 2-3ml per day. i am obviously still alive because i am here typing. 24mg/ml at 3 ml per day= 72mg per day. more than i am taking in.

i still want to switch to a mod, but will wait until this eGo-T burns out. at that point i will switch to a lighter mix. at this point i am only wasting juice by using a weak e-cig.

i dont mean any offense by this post, i just want you all to know my reasoning. I STILL WOULD LIKE INFO ON MODS THAT I SHOULD TRY. it will waste less juice, so should technically save me money (unless i am using 3ml per day, then that would be counter-productive)

thanks everyone who has already linked me to vendors.

I'm not trying to be funny, but this story is begging to be aired on Spike TV's 1000 Ways to Die. It's a show that explains the science behind different kinds of weird deaths. One of the shows featured a woman who needed to quit smoking ASAP or her partner would leave her. So what did she do? She tried to quit smoking the "fast way" by sticking a whole box of Nicoderm patches on her body. That equivalent to 294 mg of nicotine (21 mg nic x 14 patches). She died of course.

Basically what I'm trying to say is don't take such a risk. You'll probably go through awful side effects like rapid heartbeat, increased blood pressure, rapid, shallow breathing, etc.

Not to be selfish or anything but I'd rather the FDA not breath down our backs so hard cause one guy decided to OD on eliquid. Sort of like how I will never be able to use bath salts in my tub anymore cause people get high on it.

 

[cheesebgt]

I don't know if anyone has already stated..... nicotine has a LD50 (lethal dose for 50% of population) of 0.5-1.0 mg/kg. Which means between 40-60mg is enough to kill an average sized human.

Agree with this.

Also OP, your logic is flawed. This is not one Long Island drink. It's like drinking 3 bottles of tequila straight. If I take shots every so often throughout the night, I'll just have a really bad hangover in the morning. If I drink it all in under 10 minutes, I'll probably be dead or at least hospitalized.

Remember, your choices can affect us. Vaping is trying hard to get a good rep.
So...leave a note before you vape 50+ mg saying that members of the community told you to do otherwise :3
