VAPING IS AMAZING! Hello...

[flo]

Hello!

I entered the world of e cigs back in November, but thanks to some bad experiences with cig-a-like brands, I found I couldn't stick with it

For the last couple of weeks I have been vaping on some happy, fruity juices on a fairly basic KangerTech EVOD setup and I feel like a brand new human! Why why why aren't all smokers doing this? After all the crappy experiences with patches and gum and years of feeling horrible for failing to quit - VAPING IS AMAZING!!!

'Scuse the newbie enthusiasm but seriously - Vaping is THE WAY....

A couple of questions -

How soon do you reduce nic levels? I'm enjoying 18mg but VAPING IS SO AWESOME I feel like I probably have more nicotine in me than I did when I smoked (I smoked 15 - 20 roll ups a day)

What's the deal with PG/VG - do most people just tend to vape a mix? I love the vapour production from the VG but I feel like I still need more of a throat hit?

Thank you!

Flo

hello and

reducing the nic i think is a personal thing,if your set on jacking in your nic addiction then i would suggest trying to reduce in small amounts, its known as tapering in the case of another type of addiction but thats neither here nor there i guess. however being addicted to nic is not as far as i know unhealthy so take from that what you will.

the most important thing is you have swapped the rollies for as far as we know a safer way of getting your nic fix so well done on that.

Congrats and welcome! You can get a mix of pg/vg. Vg is for more vapor and smoother hits. Pg is for flavor and throat hits. I would start with 50/50 and go from there. I have been vaping since oct 2014. Not very long. Nic reduction is your chose. I know certain tanks you will have to lessen nic or it will kick your ass. As far as going down. I went from 24mg to now 12mg nic. Just pace yourself and take your time. I'm still enthusiastic about vaping. Most ppl on here are. I'm sure you will get replies from more experienced vapors.

First off welcome!

Congrats and welcome! You can get a mix of pg/vg. Vg is for more vapor and smoother hits. Pg is for flavor and throat hits.

This is true, VG usually gives you the vapor production and the smooth feel. PG is for the flavor lovers and give you a nicer throat hit. If you look around you can find different blends with various ratios of PG/VG. For that all I can say is try, try, try, until you find your ideal mix!

How soon do you reduce nic levels?

I think everybody reduces them at their own pace. Me I switch back and forth, I use 12 strength in my "take around" vape just because it feels throatier and gives it the little kick it needs to be satisfying. For my at home mech mod I run no nicotine blends just for the simple fact that the mech is way more powerful then my little eGo "take around" vape.

If your looking to come off of nicotine drop levels when you feel its time, what I would do get a few small bottles of the same flavor just lowering levels in nicotine and then causally drop levels over a certain period of time, till your to zero. But that is probably the way I would do it.

In my limited experience i wud say dont sweat the nic levels for now. I read somewhere that 3mg of vaped nic is equivalent to 1mg of smoked (about 1 stinky).

For now use what you need then reduce over time. I'm only 2 months or so into vaping. I like to vape for the vape. I can vape more when I use less nic.

Hay ho welcome

NIC level is down to personal preference my friend, being new to vaping I would advise you to focus on becoming comfortable with your set up, the pros and cons and finding your best juice after that consider the nic level, I vaped 9 months straight and found myself down to 6mg but i went down to quick ended up back on the fags aswell so now im back to 18mg. Pace yourself my friend replacement first followed by quitting later that is if thats your mission.

Hello flo, Nice to make your acquaintance!!! I't's all pretty much Trial and error and down to personal preference!!! I use mostly 50/50 juices and 12mg unless I'm having a rare Dripping session in which case I have some 6mg juices!!! Enjoy the learning curve it's all part of the Fun!!!
