Hi guys. So I'll give you some back story here before I get down to what's bothering me. In 2014 I tried vaping on cheap units. Never really cared for it, no throat hit, just kinda sucked. A buddy of mine pushed me to get an original itaste svd and aspire nautilus tank. With in a month I really enjoyed it and made the switch. Two months later I was having some weird reaction with burning skin and turning red. Stopped vaping. Went back to smoking.
I have been researching lately and concluded after talking to my dr that my nicotine levels were too high causing my reaction. Or so I believe. At this point I'm 5 days now only vaping with a 50/50 3mg out of a new svd 2.0 and nautilus 2.0. I've been running a 1.6 ohm 7.9w 3.7v set up for a couple days now. No reactions and no issues. I actually feel pretty good.
Now for what's bothering me. I have family and friends all over me this time telling me how "I'm better off smoking than vaping." That I'm killing myself with 5x the formaldehyde of a cigarette and all kinds of bad ingredients in my vape. Out of straight paranoia I have dropped my voltage to a 3.7, was a 3.3 but I can't get any semblance of a throat hit out of the set up then. I don't think I'm burning anything with these levels. I just don't know what to make of this. I'm a 13 year smoker pretty desperate to never smoke again. I want to enjoy this vape and half my nicotine levels til there gone. Still all this is wearing on me and I can't really find a whole lot to ease my mind on the matter.
