I posted a thread about nic level change-ups in my habit not too long ago, and to those who offered help and advice, thank you, again.
So it follows that I wanted to drop to 4mg nic, was reasoned into not dropping so far, decided to go with 8mg, and made it work until a weekend wedding reared it's ugly head... I was smoking the real ones again in a heartbeat, but it was pretty clear why - I was not getting the nicotine my body has decided to depend on. That is probably called a forgone conclusion.
I felt pretty awful about the whole thing until I took note of how much, and when, I was having a real smoke. Only five or so a day, and only under uncommon duress. Not too bad, I figured, and set about my next order with restructuring my whole process from the ground up.
I decided to push the nic to 18, remembering that 18 was great right when I started; did some reading to find a juice that would have more vapor, a stronger flavor, and a harder kick than what I've been using (coffee, mostly, but it seems it just doesn't do the trick as an all day vape for me); ordered Red Cow, 18mg, and waited.
My juice came in the mail and I grabbed a fresh blank. I've never done the spin before to fill a carto, so I figured I ought to. I even prepared another blank carto in my usual way (drip, drip, drip) for comparison.
The result is this - Holy crap, I've been doin' it wrong all along. The carto that I spun (in one of those awesome freebie battery sleeves) out performed the dripped one by a mile and a half. The spin results in better flavor density, better vapor production, and, therefore, better hit. Red Cow is amazing, and I have forgotten that real cigarettes exist, yet again, just like when I started.
I suppose the message in this very long post is this - If it works, don't screw with it; If it doesn't work, fix it; If you can't figure it out, copy someone who has; If you think you are bullet-proof because you haven't smoked in a couple of months, have a bad day without any high strength juice around...
That all being said, I want to give V4L a big, dorky, high-five for being so rad. I've put in 4 or 5 orders, and haven't had any problems. Thank you also for the amazing selection, the million or so options, because it is a hit or miss experience and you fine people make it pretty easy to recover from those occasional misses. Also, my wife and I say thanks for the freebies
We intend on paying them back by ordering lots more stuff
