Nicotine strengh???

[Glasgowkaren]

Hi all, looking for some newbie help! I currently smoke 0.1mg of nicotine silk cut silver ciggarette,
A week ago I decided to vape,
I bought a 18mg and a tecc arc 4
Vape, I'm unsure wither the 18 is
to strong, I am having cold sweats
Increased anxiety, fuzzy head, can't sleep, I have cut down from
18 cigs a day to 1 or 2? Any help or advice for a newbie, who's desperate to quit a 20 year habit! Many thanks

You could either try liquid with less nic or you could puff the vape less often.

I never seem to have it out my mouth, which I prefer to the cigs, will try s different strength nic level thanks

Hi and welcome to the planet.
Fuzzy head could be too high nic. Are you feeling nauseous as well?
What coil are you using and at what wattage.
For the higher end nic like 18mg it's best with a high ohm coil like 1.8/1.6/1.5/1.2 at low wattage between 8-14watts
If your tank has a low ohm coil like 0.2/0.5 then these take much more wattage like 30-60watt and with 18mg nic will give you a serious head rush.

Hi @Glasgowkaren as MrDJ says, are you using the 1.5, 1.2 or 0.75 ohm coils? TECC recommends a max liquid of 18mg for the 1.5, and a max of 10mg for the other two - 10mg is an unusual strength ratio for eliquid, it generally comes in 18mg, 12mg, 6mg or 3mg strengths. Judging by the effects you are having, you are overdoing your nicotine intake and midly overdosing on it by using it continuously - try 12mg liquid, that should help with the effects your having.

18mg can be a bit strong even for a hardened ex- smoker try 12mg should be better for you thats what mg i used when i started vaping......
And by the way to the planet.........

Thank you so much everyone, the feeling bizzare has put me off the vape and give me the fear lol, bought a 12mg today buy I will change the coil before I use it, back to fags today :-(

Personally id start at 3mg Nic if its giving you the wibblies and take it from there. For most I guess you'd recommend dropping the Nic a stage at a time but in your case id start low and work up. It can take a while to get what feels best for you so don't give up. Some of us are lucky and get the right hardware and juice from the off and others take a while to find what's right.

There are plenty of recommendations for juice on site and some very cheap ones at £1 a bottle to start you off while you're experimenting.

Could be worth cutting down on other stimulants as well during the transition. If you're a coffee drinker or heavy tea drinker then maybe cut back on the consumption as the caffeine won't be helping.

Good luck!!

Hello. I started with 6mg on the AMMIT 25 tank. But it was a bit too much for me. (I also smoked cigarettes for a long time) Then I dropped to 4 mg. When I bought Berserker MTL for myself, I used 12mg and it was enough. Like medium-strength cigarettes.
