Choosing the right nicotine content

[zouzounaki]

Like i said man, just my opinion after using it, if i dont voice it the dominant paradigm will never get questioned

i think it has already been questioned a while ago.

It depends on the dtl u using, how much vapor, etc. if u r getting a head rush, lower it, if u start driving by smoke shops and drooling, raise it.

Edit: not trying to contradict u, i just feel that nic salts are a better product than freebase in general. Yes, lower the level, maybe even lower than if u were switching to freebase, but just stick to salts, but thats just my opinion having switched to them

as always everyone is entitled to put their ideas across. me personally ive tried a few salts and i dont get the hype about them. maybe because im chugging on a vape every waking moment on 3mg or zero so for me id have a permanent head rush and usually new starters chug away like a steam train as well so nic salts are imo not the best option.
for a new vapor who has already tried 10mg salts and gets a head rush and who now prefers dtl there not many options but to change to freebase. nic salts come in 10mg and 20mg here in the uk so if hes after higher watts and clouds then freebase is the only option to find out his sweetspot for nic.

"the dominant paradigm"

Ok ... why do you think that EP pharmaceutical grade freebase pure nicotine is a worse product in general?

Well, i find salts to be smoother and more pleasant, in my experience more satisfying than freebase which has changed my vaping habit from continuously vaping all day to only vaping periodically

That being said, i do question what, if any, the long term effects of having the additional chemicals in it might have, but there's pretty much no way for anything they ever find to be worse than cigs, so i dont think to much on it.

Now that would be a problem, i was thinking about just putting a tiny bit of a nic shot in, instead of a whole thing, that may be to much to deal with for someone new, and like i just said, that was me too, chugging along all day, the nic salts stopped that behavior for me, your results may vary

i found nic salt much less useful than regular nic. i have half a litre at 36mg sitting on a shelf turning yellow. it also started to irritate my throat. i wouldn’t recommend it to somebody trying to give up fags, personally.

i think it might be a bit off, it’s went a touch yellow.

To the OP, i shouldve taken more into account that u were just starting and i apologize for muddying the water of your simple question, u certainly didnt need this as a part of your thread, so place a heavier weight on the advice of those more experienced than i, but as u can see what might work for some may differ, the most important part is find what keeps u off cigs and keep asking questions if u need to (ill try not to answer them, lol)

Edit: the people im arguing/discussing with are the same ppl i ask questions to all the time, so their knowledge is absolutely valuable

Hi, brand new to vaping and using it to quit smoking, I used to smoke around 10 rollups a day and I'm unsure what nicotine content I should be using. It's been one week cigarette free on 10mg nic salts which is what the guy in the shop recommended but I'm starting to prefer DTL over MTL and often end up with a head rush, should I reduce the nicotine content in my liquid?

Hello and welcome to PotV. I agree that if you are getting a head rush you should reduce your nicotine. I'm not going to get into the freebase/salts debate. Use whatever works for you and also what is available for your style of vaping.

i have half a litre at 36mg sitting on a shelf turning yellow.

I recommend moving your nic from the shelf to your freezer. I have found storing it in the freezer keeps it fresh and mine does not yellow with age. I took my liter and broke it down to smaller bottles for easier handling.
