I just read your other thread on nic levels Are you really trying to be the FIRST person who dies of nicotine overdose?

Do you have a brain injury? I'm not trying to insult you here, but I've met folks with them who had similar issues with the kind of consumption you are going through (with various substances such as coffee on guy I knew had to be severely limited because he'd go through 50 cups an hour etc.) 8 ml of 12 mg nicotine in a subohm setup which you mentioned in your other thread is not GOOD, no, and also, no you won't get great battery life probably in even a two battery setup.

You really need to see your doctor, an "limiting" consumption would probably look like 5 ml per day maybe 12 mg nic (in a MTL setup). Or 8 ml a day at the nic level you are at in a subohm setup or LESS nicotine.

This is ONE case where I' m more concerned about consumption than I am which type of battery to use (although use the ones recommended from a reputable dealer, obviously.)

I'm really sort of worried about you. IDK what your diagnosis is, but you really need to stop. I am pretty certain your doc is not familiar with vaping, or you haven't told him HOW MUCH you are vaping.

Best of luck,

Anna

about 2 tanks per day sometimes 2 and a half thats about 16ml, i am about to buy new juice will 12mg or 6mg enough to set my vaping habit back ? btw i love chain vaping
I didn't realize until I read a later post here that you may be having issues exacerbated by vaping that you've been talking about with your doctor? Not good to ask for medical advice here, most people won't offer it.

In folks like me that vape for the nicotine (not just to vape), most of us vape less overall liquid going to a higher nic strength. The higer nic satisfies longer and we mostly end up vaping less volume and less often.

I'm not sure increasing your nic level is a good idea if you simply love chain vaping. If you're going to vape that much regardless of the nic level, then stay at the lower nic levels. Some of us go higher nic levels to reduce how often and how much liquid we are vaping. If you are DL, then 6-12mg can be a pretty harsh throat hit for many folks.

I usually DL 3mg. have done 6mg in the past. At 12mg, I have to build higher and go lower power or it's too harsh for me. However, when I go to 12mg, I can drastically reduce the volume of juice I am vaping each day.

So if you are going to vape often regardless of nic level, keep it low. Getting nic sick is no fun and easy to do if you mismatch your coil, power and nic level.

If you are using the SMOK tank you mention in the original post, you need to drop the 24mg. How are you even vaping that? That would flat out make me sick in a few drags. That type of tank/coil is meant for low levels of nicotine due to the volume of vapor it produces.

When I'm not concered about the volume of juice I'm vaping, I use 3mg and go through about 15ml/day. If I make 4.5mg, I vape less than 10ml/day.

The most I've vaped 6mg DL, but it's a bit much for me. Too much throat hit, and still get nic sick pretty easily.

If you're doing 24mg in that tank, that's a ridiculous amount of nicotine. All that will happen when vaping nic like that is you will get sick. You don't get the mild 'buzz' you do from tobacco. Hihg nic levels like that are meant for pod systems and MTL setups that produce less vapor.

If you need to be limiting nic intake per your doctor, go with the lowest level possible. If you just want to vape, get some 0 mg.

At 6 mg you will fine some juices give plenty of throat hit and some do not, just depends on the flavor, brand, etc. But it's worth looking into. Don't forget, you can mix some of the different nic strength juices you have to make weaker nic, mixing 0 and 24 in equal parts gives you 12 mg, half a part 24 and 1 part 0 equals 6mg ( i think lol ). Strongly consider 6mg in your prince tank, or 12 maybe even 18 in a mouth to lung setup... You can still get a LOT of nic from those combinations if you chain vape.

Most folks that are never/none smokers would find 6mg/ml using a similar setup as you are to be very harsh, lots of throat hit.
A non/never smoker using a Big baby beast with .15Ω head & 24mg/ml nic going through 8ml per hour is ludicrous.
This is beyond anything you can get real help for via the interweb, ingesting that amount of nicotine in that short time period is a big huge red flag.
24mg/ml x 8 ml = 192 per hour.

You have desensitized yourself / adapted to pain to a point which is way outside of anything that can be considered rational.

Your very best bet at this point is to put the vape down, get off the interwebz and go speak to your doctor(s) physiatrists or counselors while you're experiencing this manic episode.

I wonder if there is a thread for worst and weirdest eliquid flavors...?
:|:party:
I think I recall a similar thread about that topic recently. I'll see if I can find it.

I honestly am pretty much 100% unflavored for many years now. A few times a year I may try some flavored juice, and then I spend weeks trying to get the taste out of my tank or dripper. Maybe it's just in my head, lol.

I now have a Wasp Nano I use when I want to vape something flavored, my other setups will not see anything but unflavored. I won't put it in my squonk bottles either. Will only drip it, lol. Could be my OCD, but I swear, last time I used flavored in a tank, it was like a month before my unflavored was 'right' again. :D

I would be interested in trying lasagna, pizza, maybe a few FOOD flavors, not deserts. Probably another good reason to have an RDA dedicated to 'tasting'.

When I do vape flavored, I prefer fruit vapes but most of the commercial ones are too sweet and strong flavored for me. Maybe I need to try mixing a few of my own.

I used to smoke a pack a day, been that way for 6 years. Now I'm 3 months into vaping, and I vape 2mg/ml juice.
6mg/ml gave me quite a harsh throat hit, and the higher the PG ratio, the stronger the throat hit.
You could even try 0nic 100% PG juice if you can find some. If you can't, go for 3 or 6 mg/ml, with the highest PG ratio you can get

To each their own :). I'm a dessert junkie. Going through some lemon killer kustard, Okami Haute Mocha, and a now and then special favorite, SUA Mangosteen cream. If you've never tried mangosteen (nothing to do with a mango), that one is kind of unique. Has an unexpected mint undertone that is barely there. Mmmm good stuff.
All 3 mg by the way @Marcel K ...:pervy:
