Wow. Too much nicotine?

[marchingon]

I never thought this life-long smoker would say that. But spending today with my first ProVari, I may have to. I ordered e-juice the first time in 18 ml a few weeks ago after using the pre-filled cartos you get at smoke shops. It didn't seem like enough, so I went whole hog and got six bottles of 24 ml.

Is this all in my head? The amount of flavor, throat hit, vapor, and nicotine I'm getting by using this device can't begin to be compared with what I had before. Right now, it almost seems like I should switch to 12 ml. This definitely leads down the right road for those who want to quit smoking. No wonder all this has Big Tobacco and other interests so concerned.

Hee hee!

It's not in your head. There's a huge difference between what a skinny, little cig-a-like can put out and what a Provari can.

Are you showing any symptoms of Vitamin-N overdose? These include, but are not limited to, pounding pulse, headache, whirlies and mild nausea. If you're not, then there's nothing to worry about. If you are, you can always get more bottles of the same flavors, but in a lower nicotine concentration, then cut back those 24 mg./ml. e-liquids.

by ML, do you mean the strength of the nicotine? nicotine is usually measured in MG but anyhow, its good to hear it got you off cigarettes. 24mg nicotine is way too strong for me. I started at 18mg then jumped down to 12mg, and now I'm at 6mg. hopefully soon I'll bump down to 0 nicotine

"Mg./ml." is milligrams of nicotine per milliliter of e-liquid, the usual way of expressing the nicotine concentration in e-liquid.

Sometimes you'll see the concentration expressed as a percentage like this "1.2%."

If you multiply mg./ml. by 0.1, you get the percentage. Thus, 12 mg./ml. = 1.2%.

Oops. Thank you, Guppy. I did indeed mean mgs. I feel fine. Can have that sort of I've-had-enough feeling. Am definitely ordering delicious flavors in less nicotine.
