Nic buzz from Juul/Lava 2 but not RTA/RDAs

[merlin7734]

I’ve been vaping for over five years. When I started it wasn’t to get off cigs but because it was like hookah but so much less work. In all that time with many different RTA/RDA setups and never once did I get a nicotine buzz/high.

Took a hit off my girlfriend’s Lava2 pod with storebought pod so I know it wasn’t CBD or something. But I’m confused why a 5% nic pod with such little output can cause this but e-liquid in my tanks up to 6% never have

Am I missing something???

Most likely it’s the strength of the nicotine. A 5% nic pod compared to using 0.6% (not 6%) in your tanks, etc. So another way of putting it - 50mg nic compared to up to 6mg nic. Much stronger.

Possible to confuse things and have 50mg not 5mg. And you vape 6mg in RTAs as otherwise you make a hole in your throat

What country are you in?
50mg juul is sold in America while here in the UK the max juul pods are 18-20mh max thanks to the tpd law.

Also was it nicotine salts rather than normal nicotine in the pods at all? Salts hit much more quickly than freebase nicotine. Really noticeable.

Ninja edit: quick google shows those pods are nicotine salts
