Nicotine strength

[Alexa]

Yes, I did it but i filled the tank at night, hours after i shoke it and i started to use it around 10 am. I kept the veco up most of the time. Do i have to shake it every time i fill the tank?

Was the nicotine shot 'nicotine salt' too? ... because some (myself included) can't vape it.

To be honest, it could be anything.... vaping shouldn't make you feel bad though, if it does then that's a concern.

Yes, i tried to recreate my smoking habits and i gave this morning like 10 puffs in the same place i use to smoke while i was playing a game (i did that in order to give some space between puffs) and i started to feel dizzy 10 or 20 minutes later.
It is annoying because i really want to quit smoking

Are you vaping Direct to Lung? Or drawing into your mouth first then inhaling like when you were smoking?
I wasn't sure if you'd answered that so sorry if it's a duplication! Reason I ask is if I was doing 10 puffs of 10mg salts direct to lung then it would make me feel dizzy and need a lie down! As suggested by @MarylinC37 before I think maybe an MTL kit would suit you better.

Ok, what I would recommend it getting some flavourless liquid with 'normal' 12mg nicotine (freebase not salt) put that in the mini-fit and use that to replace your smoking habit for a day. It won't taste that great but it would rule out flavourings and the nicotine salt.

Hi @Alexa and welcome to the planet.

0.3ohm ceramic 25-35watts
0.2ohm clapton 50-70watts

the head rush or feeling sick sounds like nic overdose. sounds worse than it is. just means you are getting too much nic especially as you are also smoking a cigar as well.
with these symptoms you just need to stop vaping for 30mins to an hour.

looking at this video this is a cloud chucker kit so will give a nicotine hit much quicker than say a mouth to lung kit that uses much lower wattage.
3mg normal freebase 18mg nic shots should be fine but the nic salts even though smoother may be giving you the head rush.

can you post a link to the juice you are using so we can double check the nic levels.

I am not sure, maybe i do that in some puffs. I can try again and see what happend.

I am using this e Liquid

and a nicotine shot. I used 8,5 ml and i added 1,5ml from the nicotine shot (20mg) to make a Liquid with 3 mg of nicotine

I tried it yesterday without nicotine to learn how to use it and I didn’t feel bad or dizzy

As long as you give the liquid a thorough shake when you’re adding the nicotine - that’s the most important thing: you need to get the nicotine as evenly distributed through the rest of the liquid as possible. A quick shake of the bottle before filling a tank can’t hurt either.

It can be a little frustrating when you first start out I know. I think you’re getting more nic than your body is used to basically. Some options to try would be -

1. Standard nicotine in the minifit - 12mg or even 6mg.
2. Mix 10ml of your no nic strawberry liquid with what you’ve got left of your 3mg strawberry liquid - make approximately 1.5mg strength in total (shake together thoroughly). Try in your VECO.
3. Start from scratch with a different kit.

Try not to get disheartened, we all have to experiment a bit to start with to find out what works for us

Also, don't forget that while vaping is replacing your nicotine which will make things much easier, it's not replacing anything else from the tobacco. You are still 'stopping smoking' and you may experience some withdrawal, which could easily give you a headache.
