So this might make it into the what not to do section. Basically I'm new to dripping and been keeping my wicks fairly saturated and dripping very often.I can tell when they need love when they look a little "candied" for lack of a better term. Anyway today I thought I'd try to see how much I could get out of the cotton before re-dripping. That was pretty stupid. I don't think it was a dry hit although the taste was a bit "off". Needless to say I'm hot,sweating and shaking like a leaf. I'm pretty sure I had my first nicotine overdose lol I'm calming down now but that was very unpleasant. I won't be trying that again..literally felt ill :sad:

Lol , i tend to use either zero mg or only 0.15% when dripping , gives you way too much too quickly , lol i think we all have done a similar thing,

I know some people can vape 6mg in an RDA, but personally I think it's too much, whereas 3mg in an RDA is not enough if you've just come off cigarettes. You could mix one 6mg bottle with one 3mg bottle of the same flavor to get to 4.5mg.

Yeah I tried 3mg it..It didn't do the trick. 6mg isn't too bad I just vaped too much too quick..This new site that I bought from does custom strengths of any juice in stock. That's a pretty sweet deal. I think I'm going to try 4.5mg next time as two of the four ejuices are producing too much throat hit for my liking. Kinda bummed out about that. I did buy a bottle of pure VG maybe I can save them by adding some VG?

I was using 14mg in my little tank and had to make up some 6mg for my first dripper. That works great for me. I use 6mg in everything now. I just vape a lot more when I use the tank.

Vaping too quick is called chain vaping... it is important that you can still chain vape without getting sick. This is because wanting to chain vape, and wanting to chain vape often, is a pretty much normal reaction when you've just come off cigarettes. All of my atomizers are RDAs, and I'm down to 3mg. But I still like to chain vape a lot despite I am smoke free for six months. So I bought several juices that are 0mg. Chain vaping also is part of how I managed to keep off cigarettes. I also found that I could drip 6mg into my RDA, and, immediately next, drip (only a few drops of) 0mg of the same flavor or a similar type of flavor right on top of that─into the same RDA. For this little trick to work I had to drip the 6mg first, the lower nic second. It's because else the two different nic levels don't mix themselves together well, as the higher nic juice tends to just float on top... like a layered juice cocktail. lol The harshness of my first vape in the morning also immediately went away after I dripped a few drops of 0mg into my RDA... I think the nic just rises up into the coils overnight.

The downside was I always had to keep using two separate bottles to drip and always keep counting the number of drops dripped from each bottle. But I found it was worth all the extra effort because it allowed me to adjust my nic level very effectively, and that's exactly what I needed to be capable to chain vape instead of going back to smoking a foul cigarette. The more satisfying your vape experience will be, the more you'll notice the extreme grossness of cigarette smoke. At least, that's how it worked for me. And it also is why I think decent RDAs and decent, custom built coils are compulsory despite the extra effort that goes into learning how to wick and teaching yourself how to build a pair of fancy coils that will chuck out some actual good clouds.

Git ur self a higher ohm atty-coils for times when you feel like the nic is not enough. I started with 24mg in a aspire pen type battery with a lil aspire tank, after almost three years the junk equipment still functions flawlessly. I keep it around for times I want a good nic hit off some 24mg juice.

Yeah maybe a mtl tank with some 12mg would be just what the Dr.ordered..now that I think of it. Using a combo of smooth subohm cloudage and mtl power hits every so often Did work for me in the past..much fewer actual cigarettes made it into my day..sometimes none!

You won't believe the flavor from those small attys....beats most sub attys flavorwise.

Using a 1.8 ohm coil, the damn thing will last for several hours of continuous vaping.
