Just adding my voice to the choir. If you're an adult and want to try vaping, have at it. But there's really no reason at all to vape e-liquids that contain nicotine. I did, like many others, because I was a long-time smoker and without the nicotine my body became accustomed to over the thirty years I smoked, I would not have been able to put down the smokes.

Could it be just getting used to nicotine cause I'm a non smoker and just started vaping about a month ago
That's the nicotine telling you you're poisoning yourself. Should make you stop and think.

Vape nic free if you have to vape. Can always tell your friends otherwise if you have to. The one thing you don't have to and shouldn't want to, is getting hooked on nicotine.

Funny, first time I smoked a cigarette (I was around 11 or 12) I threw up. You think that would have taught me something. :(

Try to lower your nic to 3mg or 1.5mg.

Or zero.

Why the %&^$%ing blazes would you even start vaping nicotine if you are a non smoker?!!! Take it from me. I started smoking in 1980 when I was 13 years old, and haven't been able to toss the habit ever. It's cost's me tens of thousands of dollars, probably years off my life...and for WHAT!??? Of course nicotine makes you sick! It's a poison that can KILL you. The only reason I can see anyone vaping is to quit smoking! Do us all a favour and quit inhaling nicotine laced vapour while you still can. Give your E-cig to someone who is trying to quit smoking and never look back. I started vaping to save my life.....you started for what reason?

Not trying to be rude here......Just BRUTALLY honest!
Why did you choose to start smoking when you obviously never smoked before you started smoking?

Would you rather see someone start smoking first before taking up vaping? How many years do they need to put in before earning enough respect to give them advice?
I think the point was we who smoked did so because we weren't as wise as we are now. I agree everyone deserves respect and my advice is that if he has never smoked, then it's better not to vape. But if he chooses to, use 0 Nic so he never gets addicted to the Nic.

I know this wasn't directed at me, but I would rather see someone vaping.

However, as stupid as I was to take up smoking, "zero-nic" cigarettes weren't an option. If a person really wants to vape, I say more power to them, but I would (and did) suggest zero nic e-liquids.

Okay, let's try and take a look at this rationally. Vaping doesn't belong exclusively to former smokers, just as one doesn't have to be a cigarette smoker to enjoy hookah. I started smoking at 22, at a point in my life where most experts claim if you haven't picked up the habit by then you're 98% less likely to. Was it foolish? Sure, but so goes life. I'm guessing the OP saw a pen or cig style e-cig at a smoke shop or convenience store and was curious. No harm, no foul. It's better than being curious about cigarettes and buying a pack, ya know? My brother never smoked cigarettes, but he vapes 0mg juice for the social aspect.

With that said, nicotine is not something I'd advise a non-smoker to take up. It's a gnarly addiction and not one I'd encourage someone to get trapped by.
