Hi I'm a newbie here and need some help ASAP! I just started vaping about 2 weeks ago and since then I can't seem to find my perfect nic level. Before I started vaping I'd smoke pall mall red 100's but only would smoke half a CIG and put it out and finish the rest later. So I would go through about 10-12 cigarettes a day. I bought an eleaf ipower along with an aspire clieto tank. My issue is that I've tried 12mg ejuice and that proves to be too much burns my throat and gives me a nic overdose. I've changed my vg/pg ratio to 70vg and 30pg cause I am allergic to high pg levels. I run my ecig at 40 watts. 12 mg was too strong, 6mg is too weak and 8mg I still chain vaped on. I tried mixing 12 and 8mg to make like 9 or 10 and I still get headaches and a tingling sensation in the back of my head like I would with the 12mg. What am I doing wrong here? How can I vape comfortably without getting headaches and tingling sensations its driving me nuts I need help asap cause I do not wanna go back to cigs!!!!

What I did was just vape a little bit or a little more. Thinking of 12 and 6, the 12 for the first vape of the morning, a mix of 12 and 6 (9) for getting through the day and the 6 for sitting on the sofa in the evening.

Or, mixing 3 and 12 for a 7.5mg. My first two days was 36mg. I took about 2 vapes and was happy. I got confidence, that I have to say.

To each their own journey. Good luck!!

I suggest you get a different tank like a Nautilus Mini because you are sucking in so much vapor that is why you are overdoing the nicotine. A nice MTL tank should get you to the level you like and you will be able to probably go with the 12MG with no problem. Just my opinion not based no scientific fact or studies.

What's wrong with chain vaping 8? If that's the only level. Many of us chain vape, more or less.
Well my issue is I don't have a problem with chain vaping the 8mg but I can't vape while I work. Its 2 hours in between breaks and during that time I have nic fits, I just thought putting 12 in with 8 would get me about 10 mg and it would last longer but if I keep having migraines like I have for the past 3 days I'm gonna switch back to 8 and just have to deal with the nic fits until my body adjusts to it. I'm sick and tired of getting these headaches and I'll do anything to keep me off the analogs

I'd agree with Steve, go for the Nautilus tank, they're still around and cheaper now, and coils for it are cheaper now too....good all around tank and good flavor too.
Don't really have the money to change tanks right now so you do think I should just drop down to 8mg and push myself through the nic fits until my body adjusts to it? Cause I'm really sick and tired of getting these constant headaches

If you are getting a satisfying vape out of 8mg and you happen to vape a little more frequently then I definitely suggest going with that nic level. Something that works for me when I feel like Im vaping too much is to force myself to wait until I get a craving, then force myself to wait an extra minute or 2 before actually grabbing my mod. It may not sound like much but all those extra minutes add up and reduce your number of draws taken!

I've never vaped on a Cleito but the tanks I've used you can vape lower that the low range of the coil wattage, you might try vaping at a lower wattage, or more air flow, that should give you a smoother vape.

I have to say once you quit you MUST KEEP AT IT or it doesn't work! Dual using for me was only me getting more nicotine and fooling myself I was "cutting down". Cold Turkey and deal with the withdrawals which for me were physically painful. I tried to quit many times over the almost 40 years I smoked for. YMMV

What I really meant to say was that the 8mg worked better than the 6 but I was still having nic fits despite chain vaping.

My cousin has the same mod I do but she has the Nautilus tank with 12mg nic and I tried it and got a huge nic buzz off of it.
