Another nic salt or freebase question

[LordOdin]

i’m not sure, reducing nic isn’t something i really bother about at all. i did try going from 12 to 9 a while ago, not because i wanted to reduce nic, but because i thought i was puffing too much of it and it was making me feel a bit strange. but it didn’t last long, straight back to 12 i went.

i think this depends on the individual.

I kind of agree, my goal though is to try and lower my nicotine and stop it all together, that's mainly if i like and can handle Nicotine free liquid. I haven't been vaping a lot in the past few weeks and really thought about quitting but in the past 10 to 14 days my Vaping has risen again to what it almost was. I do actually enjoy vaping and would hate to quit but it's funny that quitting is my ultimate aim. Plus me still buying Vape Gear isn't going to help.

i think quitting altogether is the ideal. for me i’m just happy not to be smoking any more and i do seem to be quite attached to nicotine. who knows, maybe a day will come when i can’t be bothered with it, or don’t feel the inclination any more.

I'd recommend picking up a 10ml salt nicotine shot and seeing what you think.

I can't vape any salt nicotine, makes me cough and irritates me throat.

Same here, especially now that swallow is so odd.

Nic salts scratch the back of my throat really badly, just can't get on with them. I usually vape dtl at 3-4½mg and mtl at 6-9mg, both freebase, any higher than 9 for mtl makes me cough a lung up. I've no intention or need to cut nic out altogether but I'd like to get it down to a steady 3 for dtl and 6 for mtl.

Subohm tanks and high strength nicotine are not compatible as far as I (and most people) are concerned. Vaping 30mg of anything in a subohm tank is, IMHO, nuts and will probably make her ill. If she wants to vape high strength nicotine buy her a mtl rta or a pod device designed for use with juices with that kind of nicotine level.

Sub ohm tanks are about lower nic but high vapour volume. If you want high nic level then it should be in lower vapour production. Super high nicotine and high vapour consumption is just asking for trouble. You'll give her nicotine poisoning.

This is the common belief in forums and blogs (probably true, IDK)
...Is there any evidence/documentation that high nic. concentration is harmful, not exposing the sodium benzoic salt to sub-ohm wattages.

devil's advocate:18mg Nic Salt bottles warn "not compatible with sub-ohm devices"
While 18mg,24mg freebase nic juices don't have compatibility warning.

I don't think there's any risk of nic poisoning at the high nic level.
We both were 2+ pack/week smokers (over 600mg of nicotine a week)
Wifey takes a couple of drags of her 30mg juice each hour. Her 3mL tank lasts her over a week. ( 90mg nic. a week max)
I vaped at 1.5mg nic but go through 60mL/week (so also 90mg nic a week).


tl/dr: nic salts makes things confusing.

My only experience with nic salts was when Blu switched over. Hated the acidic taste it added but that was many years ago.

Dropped to 0%-3% nic before I had subohm tanks were around. Which was really hard to find back then.
