RDA What mg strength do you use in your RDA?

[wawiv22]

Hey I'm semi-new into vaping and I first read that light cigarette smokers should get 12 mg/ml e-liquid. I have been mixing in 6 mg/ml with it because I have had one person from a B&M shop say I'm crazy for dripping 12 mg and another person I saw on campus yesterday said the same thing...

Just curious as to what other people are using

My DIY is 15, when I buy pre-made I order 12, all on bottom fed RDAs.

Everyone is different, if it's working for you that's all that matters. Your body will tell you if it's too much.

 

[CrystalJeth]

at most 5mg

 

[socalsailor]

Generally 6mg, but I have a couple 12mg bottles that I'll drip as well, just not all day.

Started dripping with 6mg but now I'm down to 3mg

I was vaping 12mg in tanks when I first started dripping. That was down from the 24mg that I started with. I got some 6mg to drip with and now it's all I vape be it in drippers or tanks. Didn't want to have to buy 2 different strengths.

But just like B2L said, that's what I like. Each person is different. If you're satisfied with 12mg then 12mg it is. For you. Don't let others dictate your pleasure.

I use 3mg. I using very low resistances though (on unregulated mods). Its a lot of nicotine.

 

[frjaldomr]

9mg at .4 or .5 on a mech

 

[sedition]

I find 6mg is good for me, occasionally I'll go to 7mg for a little bit more kick. Everyone is different, I read a post from a guy here a while back saying he vaped 36mg in his drippers. Vape whatever you find comfortable.

I was on 12mg for the longest time.. around 3 years using carto tanks and RDA's on a standard mech mod at 1.2 ohms. Just moved down to 6mg using RDA's around 25 watts and 1.2 ohms. Planning to move down to 4-5mg next year when I start DIY.

3 mg, anything higher in most brands just makes me cough like crazy and anything more than 3 just doesn't taste right to me.

 

[Kor 214I]

I drip 6mg On .6-.7 Dual 28ga Coils 70/30

 

[thomas l]

Was 12 then 6 now 3.but whatever works for you. got a friend drips 18

I drip 12 mg. Hell of a TH. My problem is if I don't have TH it just feels like breathing. When I smoked it was Winston or Camel. Anything ultra light was out of the question. Felt like breathing air. I have to admit though, I don't inhale much. I inhale enough to get a TH then let the rest of the draw stay in the mouth. I vape more like smoking a cigar than a cigarette. A normal draw for me is around 2 to 3 seconds. Its all about TH and flavor, don't care about clouds even though a 3 second draw with a 0.1 ohm build still produces some vapor. To each his own. also, i have to warn anyone trying my setup. If i don't, they will choke.

It depends on the wattage, not the dripping.


I think for a lot of people, based on numbers I see reported here
for a rule of thumb, people tend to vape approx:
milligrams = 100/wattage

If you're vaping 12mg my guess would be you're vaping at around 9 watts;; maybe 5 watts, maybe 20 watts, but probably not 40 watts

 

[Pushbutton]

I drip 12mg in pure VG juices on a 0.5 ohm dual coil setup at around 33W.
Mostly it will depend on 3 things i'd say.

The smoothness of your nic and PG/VG ratio.
The level of nicotine your body is used to.
The style of your inhale, dripper and build (flavor vs cloud atty) and it's vapor output. I'm not going to say wattage, because the wattage needed to drive a build will depend heavily on the wire used and airflow, so it's hard to generalize that way.

If you do very deep inhales that completely fill your lungs and chase the biggest clouds you can get, then 12mg will most likely make you feel dizzy after a couple of drags, even if you were a heavy smoker

I'd suggest you get a small bottle of a juice you like in different nic strengths, and find out that way.

I use 18mg in rda's and tanks. When I get to a point where I can go lower I think I may be able to quit vaping.
I was a smoker and smokeless tobacco user. There was a time when I used 48mg on a regular basis.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that nobody can really tell you what you should be vaping. Just depends how new you are to not smoking. Don't try to drop your nic too early. I listened to people that told me to vape 6mg because I was using a dripper. After about 5 hours my Wife kindly asked me to go to the shop and get something that worked. (I guess I was being kind of a ....) I came back with a 18mg bottle of honey dew.

 

[martinc]

2mg,maybe 3mg tops!

Good setup producing tons of vapor with an awesome flavor...don't need to go over that and it cost almost nothing anymore in nic juice!

YEP on a skelethon key or Vengance on a Megathron don't matter...same result

 

[Jspike21]

3.5mg DIY on my rdas. 6mg and 4mg seem like too much for me, 3mg isnt enough, but 3.5mg is juuuuust right.

This would have been a Great Poll Thread.
