Hey everyone. Just wanted to have a interactive post with some members and maybe get some potential advice. I just got a Alien Mod 220watt TC and I am thoroughly enjoying it. I am a non-smoker and have smoked in the past (glad I quit) but when I did, I really enjoyed the craving. I know that sounds odd and I probably stand alone, but to each his own. I liked looking forward to smoking and when I was in stressful times I would just say fuck it all and go smoke a cigarette haha. Anywho, I started on 3mg just bc and from what I can tell it's not too harsh. I went to my local vape store and all they had was 0mg of this vape juice flavor I wanted and I got him to add some nicotine and boy is it pretty harsh. He told me to shake it well and I am fairly sure I shook it hard enough but dang it was harsh. I used my girlfriends 0mg (same flavor) to dilute it and it's a little better. I actually told him to try and make it like 2mg cause I was afraid he would put too much. Maybe I should just smoke 0mg and call it a day? I know that's recommended for non-smokers anyways. Just throw me some advice and talk to me :D

I personally think you did it right. Could always buy a second bottle with 0 nic of your juice and use that second bottle to dilute the bottle that the shop puts nicotine in for you. Just a thought, but I hope it helps.

Thanks for your input dude, means a lot. I hope more will see my post and give their 2 cents! Maybe I'm not posting on a popular discussion board or it might be the fact that it's almost 1 am lol!

Thanks so much. I would try to help if I was more knowledgeable . I'm assuming whiskey's corner is another forum? Or is a discussion board located in VU?

Wish I could get more responses/opinions. I guess posting during the day would generate more.

Whiskey's Corner that I mentioned earlier would be a great place to ask their opinions about this topic. They are quite open there. You can tell them I pointed you there if you like. Good people there

I'd recommend buying nicotine with a base and mixing in the nicotine yourself. That way you can tailor the levels to your liking and not have to worry about harsh throat hits from too high of a nicotine level from the juice you're vaping. Check out Nude Nicotine: https://www.nudenicotine.com.

Welcome to the forum. :wave:

I considered that route since I mix my own juice, but being new to vaping, I didn't want to overload him with to much info off the bat. A good course nonetheless. The easiest way is to add it by weight. All that you'd need is a scale that can measure down to .01g (a jeweller's scale) a 5-10ml syringe, and nicotine base.

Was his nicotine base a PG or VG base? PG would make it more harsh, since you are adding PG to the pg/vg ratio. I am assuming he makes juice and knows how to calculate nic mg per ml of juice. By the time you get down to 3mg/ml I think it is more of a security blanket anyway. Like you know there IS nicotine in the juice so your brain thinks it is getting its nic fix. lol.

I'm not sure what PG or VG means but I got my local vape shot to "pump" nicotine into it. Looked to be a liquid form I believe.

Both PG and VG are liquids. E-juice it's made up of 3 main ingredients. Vegetable Glycerin, Propylene Glycol, and flavoring. Nicotine can be added or not as well.

Some nicotine is just harsher than others -- some of us really like and crave that tingle in the mouth and throat; some seem to hate it, even former smokers. Also, some flavors are just harsher on the throat than others, and more PG will give more throat hit; more VG will give more smoothness.

So nicotine contains part PG and part VG? The stuff he gave me might have had more PG than VG? I want smoothness, not throat hit.

It can either be in PG, or in VG, or a mix -- just depends where it's bought, and how it's blended. If you buy your own, you can buy it any way you choose, though the only place I know of that offers a mix of PG/VG for their nic is e-cigexpress.com (there may be other places that offer it that way, I just don't know of them). I find their nic just as good as anyone else's, but I *like* TH, so I get it in PG. A lot of places that mix juice may use a PG-based nic, because it's thinner and easier to mix.
