Hey, I've been vaping on off for about two year now. I started with an ego c-twist and evod tank then moved onto smoking for a short period to deal with stress, but quit after about two months when it was making me feel shitty again. I'd go in and out of vape phases for a while until about a month ago when I picked up a jak e-cig at a gas station and really liked feeling like I was holding a cigeratte which lead to me purchasing a halo g6 with mini tank. The grape liquid in the jak ecig was nice and gave me a little buzz that I enjoyed, so that gave me the great idea of getting a higher nic level with the malibou juice I got from Halo and I feel that I've made a mistake in that it makes me feel really withdrawn when I pull drags as much as I normally do. The liquid I normally used was the kind of stuff you'd get at gas stations which had between 1.2%-2.1%, I didn't really understand what those levels translated to in terms of mg so I got 24 mg but I'm feeling that it's too strong. I deluted it with some 3 mg miso juicy fivestar liquid I'm holding onto for a friend for now but I want to try and figure out what level of nicotine I want for that relaxing buzz without knocking me on my ass like 24 mg has. I dig the smooth malibou flavor for sure but I might move down to 12 on my next purchase. Until then, considering I go through juice fairly slow, I want to find a liquid that I can delute my malibou(and my free bottle of tribeca with 24 mg) until then because I can't keep taking from my friends bottle. Would anyone have any recomendations? Otherwise hello everyone!

i would get another bottle of the flavor you are liking in 0mg if you take a 30ml of 0mg and a bottle of 24mg and combine them it will make it 12mg(basically half 0mg and half the 24 mg). 12 was a happy spot for me for quite some time. I have since dropped to 6mg.
Hope that helps and Welcome to the forum

Yeah when your first quitting 12mg-18mg sounds good. Then work down to 3mg-6mg.
I would also recommend doing this ^^^i would get another bottle of the flavor you are liking in 0mg if you take a 30ml of 0mg and a bottle of 24mg and combine them it will make it 12mg(basically half 0mg and half the 24 mg). 12 was a happy spot for me for quite some time.

BTW, Welcome to the VU!
1.2%-2.1% translates into 12mg-21mg
18mg is a good concentration to start with.

For anyone quitting smoking, my personal opinion, try 24mg/2.4%. You WILL withdraw from the lack of additional toxins that you will find in cigarettes. Keep in mind that vaping is not replacing smoking it is an alternative that you are switching to and adaptation is needed. Keep at it, buy new flavors frequently, and keep your battery charged. Enjoy your new found health!

I started with 18mg from 1.5 packs a day (It was gas station bought ZigZag brand eliquid). For my first few "real" bottles I stayed at 18mg before dropping to 12mg. 12 lasted a while but I ended up buying gear that made more vapor so I had to drop to 6mg for the sake of my throat. Now I use 3 which happened by accident. I found a flavor I liked that the shop only had on 3mg so I bought it. After vaping it without eally missing anything I figured "why bother going back to 6" next time I made a purchase
Try getting a different vg/pg level you might be missing the throat hot like a ciggerette some cape stores you can do maybe a 70/30 that's what I did and went down on nic.
