When you switched to a Reomizer where did your nic level end up?

[Rickajho]

Ok, I have had this RM2 staring at me for weeks. Still haven't tried it. Why? Ima skeered.

Up until now my normal vape is 24 mg. I go through 3+ ml's of that a day and it barely registers. But then you have all those people using rda's and dropping their nic level to 2 mg's or less or they kill themselves. (Let's just say they have a highly unpleasant experience.) I sure as hell don't want to make myself nic sick.

So what were your experiences when switching to an RM2 or similar rda? How much of a drop in your nic level did you need to make to avoid palpytations, sweating like a zombie, doing the macarena to work off the nic jitters (no one wants that one to happen...) - and other fun stuff like that?

Didja have to drop and by how much? Please and thank youse.

I went from 12mg to 6...and now that I have two REOs again I made up some 3mg for chain vaping days.


Just this week, I've realized a lot of the harshness I thought was from over nic'ing or over flavoring, was actually from not placing my coils correctly.

I was at 18 mg. and lowered to 14 mg. I go through about 6 ml a day, and have been at this level for quite some time. I know others who use REO's and are still quite high. I DIY so can titer it down as needed, but 12 to 14 seems to be my sweet spot.

I haven't heard of 2 mg. all the way from a higher level being very successful, it is too much of a drop especially if you were at 24. I would be sucking the life out of my poor REO if I went that low from this level! I did need to lower it a bit when I started using the REO, but it wasn't as drastic as you might think.

Good luck finding your sweet spot! If you DIY it is easier to figure it out, but if you don't you can just add PG or VG to your existing juices until you find out what works for you. Good luck!

Started vaping at 36mg. Went down to 34mg and that is where I was when I got my RM2's.

Over a period of months I found I was not enjoying my vape. It was harsh. Couldn't vape more than 3-4 draws.

Began diluting the juice in my REO bottle with some VG. Found the smoothness was back.

Next DIY batch I made some 32 & 30mg. It was nice but I wanted to see if I could go lower. Next batch was 28. I still have some of the 30mg. I can tell the difference.

I am enjoying the lower nic. I can sit with the REO in my hand and vape for a few minutes.

Also I lowered my flavoring level from 20% to 15%. It is all good!

I do notice that if I need the nic, like now, I must hit a few times before I am happy. So it has been a total change in the amount of vaping time with lower nic.

And yes, I can still vape enough to get nauseated! But I try not to do that!

I went from 12 to 6, but more because of the throat hit then anything else. I still do get the occasional nic overload when chain vaping, but I'm more aware of it now and can stop myself before gettin too woozy. I didn't notice any withdrawal when I switched.

 

[CATastrophe]

I used 18 and in pretty short order dropped to 12 with RBAs. Over time I continued to drop to 9 then 6. I still have 12 and 18 juices that I mix to dilute. But I'm now pretty much a 6mg vaper. I like to chain vape at times, and just couldn't do it with 12 any more.

 

[super_X_drifter]

Ric, I dropped from 24 to 12 but just because I wanted to not for any symptoms of too much nic.

I didn't even really notice a difference. Other than I have to cut all my 24 in half with VG before I vape it now

 

[solace.discord]

dropped from 12 to 9 during the day, and from 6 to 4 for the evenings.. sometimes the 9 is too much if I chain..

 

[CreepyLady]

I had to reduce to 0,3,6 only. I was occasionally still using 12 previous to the RM2. Def reduce by 50% for at least your first build lol. It was so happy I was vaping up a storm and quickly teetered into slightly nic sick.

My current level is 3mg because i chain vape. I love vaping except when sleeping

 

[solace.discord]

having a stock of 6 and 12mg juice, it is quite cost effective to have an RM2.. dilute, stretch supply and save money.. I haven't noticed any flavor loss- love it!!


edit to say: especially cost effective when the 12mg extra flavor was cut to 6, and then again to 4- the RM2 brings out flavors big time for me (used tanks previously). I actually like my favorites more that they're diluted now.

 

[Joka]

When I first started vaping I vaped 18 in tanks n such, when I started dripping I went to 12 really quick! Then I started cloud chasing and went to 6mg, and 6 is where I will stay, without so much nic it's ALOT more smooth of a vape, and with bigger clouds I probably still get my nic, because I haven't felt any changes as far as desire or having a nic fit.

Ok, I'm seeing a consensus of... it's a lot different for everyone. lol

I just got some 16 mg Joyetech liquids in. (Which are surprisingly good BTW) so for pre-mixed I can start there and see how that feels. That's the lowest pre-mixed I have.

I just happened to lay in a couple gallons or so of 24 mg stuff so if that doesn't work I have a dilemma. Or another huge shopping voyage on my hands, buying those same flavors in lower nic levels so I can mix down without losing any flavor. That, or I'll still be using bridgeless attys for a couple more years to use this stuff up. lol - sorta.

Gonna try the 16 mg Joyetech stuff. And mix a 12 mg unflavored. I always have that as an option since I stock me a lot's of unflavored from 0 mg to 36 mg just to play with. (Yeah - DIY adventures are on the bucket list too.)

Harsh shouldn't be a problem. I have to do 100 VG or as close as I can get to it because I'm allergic to PG. I can tolerate the amount of PG used as a flavoring carrier, but never add any more PG to liquids.

Thanks y'all! As Barbra Streisand said (after inhaling...) "We must all face our problems head on!"

I think Mark Twain said something like...

"I try hard NOT to smoke while I'm sleeping and try harder to smoke every minute I'm awake."

 

[doots]

I use the same 18-24mg that I did before and after. Hasn't changed for me at all.. Don't feel guilty if you are the same way.

You do - and that's my point of concern.

When you generate vapor with a liquid, the amount of nicotine contained in it is pretty much fixed. But when you generate and expose yourself to four times as much vapor you are exposing yourself to four times as much nicotine in the process. More vapor means more exposure to what ever is in that much larger volume of more vapor. You have to drop your nic level in the process, but that doesn't mean your nic intake is dropping all that much either.

That's why I don't want to get myself od'd here, moving up from the amount of vapor I'm getting off a bridgeless atty to the much larger volume of vapor I'm expecting from the RM2.

I used bridgeless atties for a stint before I finally built on my RM2 as I *hate* tinkering with things and kinda felt like "Hey Im happy here, I will hang around for a few before moving on" I went through quite a few to sort out the ones I liked the best. I ended up favoring the KidneyPuncher long barrelled atties, have you used these? I had to decrease my nic close to equivalent as to the RM2 with those as well and I find them to be *almost* on par with the RM2 in the facet of vapor production (taste is better on the RM2) - BUT - if you have used these or similar it should give you a margin to judge from. Just a thought

 

[scemmer]

I was vaping 18mg at first, and I quickly dropped to 12mg. That was great, but still too much when chain vaping. I'm now at 6mg.

 

[rollinlow]

I dropped from 18 to 12 and it didn't bother me to much so I dropped to 6 and I was craving way more so back to 12 and I vape all day

 

[volta399]

I actually went from 18mg to 20mg shortly after switching to a rm2, but that was due to a lot stress in my life making me crave stinky sticks. Things have settled down, and I'm back to 18mg. That's the great thing about doing DIY juice. You can tailor make it to fit your needs!
