Hey fellow vapers!

Been 2 weeks almost of quitting cigs! I chain vape tho cause im only on 3mg and crave alot!

Anyway quick question what is the most popular vg pg ratio most people vape here?
Do most really vape just 100% VG?
I like clouds but flavor too 70vg/30pg best then?
Whats your ratio you usually go for?

Also super impressed with voopoos pnp vm and tw coils im still on my first coil bought it on feb 28th ,still going strong too and i chain vape,
I vaped yesterday full batteries to empty in 1 day (dual 2500mah) lol at 50watts mostly too charge
Still no burn taste and works great.
when should i replace btw when the taste is off???

    Yes, if your coil is starting to taste bad it’s time to change it (or change the wick if you are building your own coils). I don’t believe most people vape 100% VG, it’s got to be somewhere around 50/50, 70/30 is usually the top end.

    I vape 65/35vg 6mg juice at lower watts for less clouds and more throat hit. 30mls of juice will usually last me a week and a single battery will last me almost two days.

    Mind you, it took me over 10 years to dial this down in order to fit my current vaping needs.

    Congrats! You're on the right track!

    18 mg/ml for me. When I made the switch I was at 24, for a few months to get away from cigs. Once I was "settled in", I backed down to the 18 I still vape. Like many, I found that if I reduce it much more than that I vape seemingly gallons more. Uh, what's the point? Maybe up the nic for a while to get over the hump?

    I vape mtl, exclusively RTAs, and my pg/vg is about 65 pg, In general, PG carries flavor better, VG makes more clouds. I prefer the flavor side, and get enough vapor to keep fooling my brain :)

    I always use 70/30 and nic it depends,sometimes 3mg or 6mg...mostly it depends on what they have in the online shop i use,sometimes they run out of 3mg so i get 6mg an viceversa.

    Low wattage when using drop in coils,at the moment trying to finish up the GTi coils i have left so i can buy some PNP's.
    GTi coils i use the 0.2 ohms,2/3rd airflow closed and at 33 watts,i don't like warm vapes,tend to be on the cooler side.

    Nah,tried getting into DIY but not worth it at least for me,same reason why i gave up on rebuildables.
    I don't buy e-liquid thou,way too expensive so i just buy a boxed set (140ml base,6 nicokits of 20mg) and then just add 30mls of aroma and i am done for the day.

    No time for percentages,using a scale and beaker tubes or nothing of that sort,simplicity is the name of the game for me at least so this saves me headaches and gives more free time.

    Lots of times I only use a single flavor and do not create some esoteric or complicated juice... Nothing wrong with a single flavor...... I like cinnamon and often use cinnamon all by itself.... Same with banana..... At other times, I will add creams or vanilla in order to smooth out a flavor.

    Yep, you may want to up your nicotine to help reduce cravings. Give it a try, it may help.

    I use 70/30 base. The VG probably goes down to around 65 after adding flavor. At around 6% nic now, 4 or 5 mls per day.

    I started at 24% nic when I first gave up the smokes. Went down quickly to 18, then down slowly over the next few years. A few times I tried lowering the nic too fast and my consumption went way up and it wasn't satisfying. Pretty much set in a rut now, Tried reducing it down below 6% a couple of times but it just didn't do the job. Started out assuming I would just use it to get off the cigs but I don't see myself quitting vaping now.

    For single flavor what % did you use ? I got vampire vape, strawberry milkshake concetrate aroma the site states for single flavor use 15-20% i did it at 15% but its a bit strong still vapable but most of my juices arnt this strong maybe because i usually mix multiple flavors at like 1-2% but the site of theirs state 15-20 so ,maybe this is the right way and the others i made at 1-2% was too little?
    So i wasnt used to the true flavor maybe

    30/70 PG/VG, 6mg Nic in strength, MTL.
    My lungs don't like higher strength nic, compensate by vaping steadily throughout the day. Something between 5-7ml during the day with juice.
    Wow what wattage? My tank is 2ML and i can vape that gone in a short session,i also chain vape all day cause i crave nicotine but seems like i vape10ml a day pretty exessive?

    Probably you where doing 10 - 12 cigarettes per day... a normal cigarette lasts about 5 - 6 minutes... !?

    Probably it's better to try a mtl atty with 9 - 12mg Nic... and try to use it as you are doing with cigarettes... !?

    Thats way you will be somewhere in your previous levels... so you can vape for 5 - 10 minutes (so you can get your pleasure - taste of your e-liquid - Nic...) and then you can put it away for a while... and later when you feeling the need... you can repeat, or you can hit some clouds during the day and probably you will be just fine... !?

    Just saying... !?
