Nictonie level help

[Ben ogden]

Hi.

Im struggling to find nicotine level that works for me. I used to smoke 20 marlboro lights/ bandh silver a day sometimes 25. Have been smoking for 24 years.

I have 2 devices. One is an aspire mtl which has a 1.5ohm coil in it and the other is a h priv 2 with a 0.4ohm coil in i use this for dtl.

Im struggling to get the nicotine hit i need. 6mg in the subohm device is not doing it but the throat hit is too much . So i got a nic salt shot and ramped it up to 12mg with that. And its ok.

In my mtl i doing the dinner lady nic salt 20mg, this is first day i havent had a cig.

Could someone recomend what level you think would be good for me in the MTL and DTl device so i can get that nictonie fix without the massive throat hit. I just cant see to do it . If i put it at 3mg im doing like 10ml plus a day

I'm feeling you have the nic right but maybe not the pg to vg ratio.
In mtl 50/50 is optimum and in the dtl anything with a vg of 70 is perfect.
If you go lower vg in dtl it will be quite a harsh hit yo the throat.
More pg = more throat hit.

wow 2 different styles of vaping .. in with both feet ...
well dtl 12-15 mg should hit the spot but I started with 30ish yrs ago attys are better now .. but mtl same again till you kick the ciggys then cut down to 10 8 6 ..I'm still on 10 mg after 7 yrs
go high to kick the habit then cut down everyone is different take your time .. for the hit try a 60/40 or a 70/ 30 that's vg/pg .. more vg mellows the hit ..
mtl should be around 1ohm dtl well from .15 to .4 ohm .. cut the watts to down the throat hit

I see recommended often to do what you're already doing.. I do it myself. I like to keep my nick quite high for MTL and lowish for DTL. I usually carry 2 mods... One for tobacco flavours with low wattage and high nicotine and one for higher wattage and lower nicotine for more refreshing juices like fruity things.

Umm... All I can recommend is to play with it. I seem to like higher nicotine than most. Vaping for near 5 years and still enjoy 12mg DTL but not very high wattage.

I played with the mad cloud chasing already.. Its all about flavour and nicotine for me now

Yeah. The nic salt seems to have a funny taste. Ive been vaping for about 7 days and today is first day i havent had a cigg and that os first time in 24 years . So presume will get easier longer i go

I've not tried nic salts yet so can't advise but I suggest getting higher nicotine in the other juices if you're struggling. Forget the supposed rules of low nicotine for DTL for now if you're new to it. Get higher nicotine than 6mg. I often vape 18mg DTL.. Some would think thats hardcore but its what im used to. After a few drags I don't crave for quite a while.

The legal limits used to be much higher and I was DTL 36mg at one point.. I definitely wouldn't recommend that but try higher than 6mg for sure if its not hitting the spot.

Also more airflow, vg, less power if its too harsh. Its a tricky one if you're not getting enough nicotine and it's too harsh.. I'd try high nic and high vg to smooth it out? Hmm... Or other flavours that might be less harsh.

Really well done on that Ben. I packed up 6 months ago after 30 years on the ciggies.

I started on a MTL device (aspire zelos) and basically hammered the juice with 12mg nicotine level. After 3 months I added a DTL at 6mg but like you found the throat hit was a killer so dropped it to 3mg.

I think you’ve got the nic levels right, but make sure you are vaping often and for long periods! Anything that keeps you off the ciggies at this point is a good thing.

Only other point I’d add is you’ve got to pack up to get the benefits. I’ve got mates who smoke and then vape and repeat and repeat. Every time is like starting over. Set a target, day a week of vaping only and see how you are at that point.

All I can say is that giving up the fags and getting into vaping has been the best thing I’ve done for my health (and money) for years. Good luck bud and let us know how you get on

There is your answer, right there.

All that matters at this stage is getting enough nic into yourself to get off the fags for good.

I gave up the fags within a week of vaping on 24mg and I was not really planning to stop. I thought I was only going to cut down on fags.

If you want to play about with other kit with lower levels of nic, fair enough but at the slightest thought or urge to have a fag just hit the 20mg till those thoughts and urges go away. They do go away as soon as you have enough nicotine in you.

Go with what @Smokeandsteam and @oldhippydude say. At this stage just hammer the high nic on mtl. It does get easier, it's like a diet, you know you can't have that donut, so what do you think of, donuts. When you think of a cig pick up the vape until the craving has passed. The first week is the worst, after the first month you've smashed it. Congratulations on your first day of a new life.
