Vaping frequency and Clearos/attys storage advice

[shartepino]

Hi folks

i would need a bit of guidance with my vaping habits.
So how often and how long do you vape please (average est) ?
I have noticed that sometimes i chain vape for an hour, then i put it down for 20-30 minutes and chain vape for another hour and so on (always inhaling not just mouth&out). I can get through 3 x 1.6ml clearos in a day. Is it dangerously much you think? I used to smoke 25-35 a day.
Liquid im using varies a lot. 15% 24mg, 35% 18mg, and 50% 8mg (a daily estimate) . (i would like to vape just 18mg but im afraid i can overdose myself
Any advice appreciated

Also can i store my unfinished (still 2/3 full) clearos and tanks without emptying/cleaning them first?
I mean for a longer period of time. Is it bad for clearos or juice in them?


thanks a lot

Welcome to ECF. First yes you can store your clearos with juice in them. I keep on average around 9-12 in a case everyday. I never know what mood I'm gonna be in
You'll know when you've over vaped, Upset tummy, headache, feeling crummy. Usually if you drink a glass of water and lay down for about 20-30 min. you'll feel better.
As far as chain vaping goes, I went through a 1.6ml clearo in about 1.5 hours last night. On weekends I'm pretty much in a cloud of vapor all day. I change between 24mg and 18mg nic through the day so I'm no help there. Just listen to what your body is telling you and you'll do fine.

Remember to stay hydrated while you vape. Drink LOTS of water, sports drinks, non caffiene products. Coffee and cola's don't count they help to dehydrate you.

I feel like people vape wayy too high a mg of juice. Especially people new to vaping because people are always telling them to vape higher mg amounts... Usually because thats what they were told, thats what they see, and thats all they know. You do not need 18mg juice. I smoked the strongest, filthiest, roll your own tobacco and short filter tubes for the last 2 years of my smoking and I use 11mg juice. The throat hit is great at 11 to 12 mg. Your throat gets used to whatever juice your vaping. If you vape 18mg juice for a week, your throat will get used to the throat hit and you'll want to step up to 24mg... then you get used to 24mg and you'll want better throat hit from there. What people should be doing is vaping 12mg juice and stepping down to 8mg when they dont neeed throat hit. That way the 12mg juice will always give you good throat hit when you want it most... I mean people are using 24mg juice all day every day because people told them to on these forums... I think using 24mg juice is ludacris. I think 18mg juice is bad enough... You don't need that high of a nicotine content.. Take it from someone that sucked 35 home made cigarettes down to sticky tar stumps every day and all night for years... I don't use 18mg juice, so why should people that smoked regular cigs with less nicotine delivery? yuck. and then people say 24mg juice isn't enough. yeah right. its not withdrawal your feeling... its overdose. They feel the same. Look it up. Google it. Nicotine withdrawal and nicotine overdose feel the same. Almost the exact same way. Its crazy how people are constantly telling new members they will want 24mg juice. Your going to make people sick. If you vape as much as you smoked, and you smoked 20 cigarettes or more a day, 24mg juice is going to make you sick. It will fog your head and make you feel hopped up and nauseous. Even 18mg juice is too much for a pack a day smoker... I'll admit, I like the throat hit from 16 to 18mg juices but is it worth feeling sick? 12mg juice gives me the same throat hit as 16mg juice. And 16mg juice gives me the same throat hit as 24mg juice. You just have to step down to the next lowest level every few hours to give your throat a rest. Thats my experience at least. Original Poster- Your not going to kill yourself from ODing on nic from vaping. It wont happen. Especially not with 18 or 24mg juice... But you might already be making yourself sick without even realising it. Look up the symptoms and see if your noticing any of them. They feel the same as nicotine withdrawl in the early stages. Idk, I recommend following what I've posted above. At least give a 12 to 16mg juice a try. You won't know until you try it. Buy a 12 mg juice with your next order of 18mg and ask for a sample of 8mg juice in the checkout comment box if the company regularly gives samples. Then try what I said above. Try starting the day off with 12mg juice, then when you start to lose the throat hit, go down to 8mg juice for your next vape session, then go back up to 12 for the next, and see how that goes. I'm telling you, it works. It works for me. & I don't get sick!

I've jumped from 18mg to 6mg in less than a month and have had no problems. I agree with Plumes91.

Everyone is different. I chain vape 24mg and 18mg. I have even gotten samples that were only 12mg. I have never been nic sick. But then I listen to what my body tells me. Most people can't vape a high nic before bed. Me I NEED the nic to get to sleep. Everyone is different. Before quitting cigs, I smoked a pack a day. When I get my next order placed, I am going to go DOWN one step in mg. there are many people in this forum that ARE working their way down to 0mg.

Please don't preach about what is ridiculous about others vaping styles or presume that there is a correct way to do this. The non smoking zealots do that enough for us.

Stepping off my soapbox now....

No, you are not vaping a dangerous amount of time or a dangerous amount of juice. In the beginning the most important thing is that you are staying away from smoking and getting used to vaping only. Using a variety of mg amounts is a good thing IMO. A bit higher mg for those times you have cravings and lower mg levels at other times especially when you are chain vaping. I've been vaping over two years and I still use different mg levels at different times.

Yes you can store your clearos and tanks with juice in them. Not knowing what you mean exactly by longer periods of time I personally empty mine if they arent used in a week, but there's nothing that says I have to do that.

Welcome to the wonderful world of vaping

Guys really thanks for all the answers i see that with support like this i will never go to analogues again. Greatly appreciated.

btw today after 2 weeks i have found a nice big rollup under the sofa when i was hoovering. i was holding it in my hand and without a word i binned it. Didnt feel a thing. Like throwing away dead spider....

No one here can tell what the OP needs are. I heard this all to often. It don't matter what mg nic you use as long as it keeps you off the stinkies. I will be the first to admit that I use way to high a mg content before I go to bed, but it helps with the cravings. Like I already said listen to what YOUR body is telling you. You alone will know what is right and what is wrong. Vaping is not like smoking. You have to get everything adjusted to suit your needs. Sorry just my one cent worth.
