What would you say to this guy?

Interesting that it might be other chemicals. I kind of thought that too because in the first couple days of vaping I would still get like 1-2 strong urges for an analog every day, even though my nicotine should be taken care of.

24mg seems about the limit of what I want so far and 16mg has seemed okay. Besides not feeling comfortable about it, is there anything wrong with giving him 48mg though? I think it was in one of the 8 Myths or something from CASAA (?) I read them say how smokers regulate their smoking intake to nicotine satisfaction. I do like the idea more of giving hum a slightly lower nicotine and telling him it is 48mg, just to see if it just him thinking he needs more, though he might get mad.

I would let him fend for himself. You don't want him relying on you as his "supplier" anyway. If he's determined, he'll figure it out soon enough.

@316lvm: Yeah, yes, absolutely, to all of your comments. He is smoking cigarettes. He wants to cut that out though, and I understand that. I started out at 18mg, and had to up it to 36 to curb my cravings. I haven't cut down yet, although that would be a goal, I'm not overly concerned with it. I'm pleased as punch for the moment that I'm not smoking.

I will suggest snus to him tomorrow. Thank you.

I think you need to tell your friend that willpower also factors a lot into this. He can't expect to pour something out of a bottle that will MAKE him quit. He has to make a conscious effort to fight his cravings as he gets them. As others stated, it might not even be nic. I too think the snus is a good suggestion. Good Luck.

This guy sounds like he isn't to intelligent of a person, if he is that stubborn I would let him vape the 50mg and tell him you will give him some but he has to vape it in front of you, its not high enough of a percentage of nic to hurt him but it will make him pretty queasy and probably give him a nice headache if he chain vapes it so why not just let him do a session of the 50mg so he gets a lesson, seems like he's going to do it whether its from you or somewhere else.! I would school this dude and educate him if he's a friend and won't listen to you, you could end up helping him by letting him do a vape session at the 50mg, he wont be asking you for it again I dont think if he vapes the straight 50mg in a chain vaping session, then he will realize just how strong 50mg is and he will cut down really fast. I say let him drive his own PV its the only way he's gonna learn the way his mentality seems. drip some of that 5omg through his drip tip and tell him to knock his socks off, your not gonna hurt him, but you will take him down a few rungs on his ladder and smarten this dude up a bit.

I agree with those who advised not to be his supplier or provide higher than 36mg liquid. I didn't see where you mentioned what kind of PV he was using. That also might be the problem. If he is using a small 3.7 volt device that could also be keeping him coming back to analogs and thinking he needs extreme levels of nic. And I have to assume he isn't using an auto battery, right?

Point him to a good 5 volt or variable volt device. The added throat hit might make it easier for him to stay at 24mg or 36mg.

Mix some tobacco absolute in his blend. That'll give him some extra kick without the added nicotine.
