Gonna Have To Cut Back On The Nic!

[CrazyChef]

Wow.

As many here know, I like to subohm @ 24mg. Well, that's on a 0.7Ω 26g kanthal single coil in my subtank mini. So, I finally tried a dual kanthal coil on my Patriot RDA @ 0.37Ω. Crap! Then My Horizon Phantom came today (Thank You @VaporDNA !). with a 0.2Ω SS coil installed. ACK! Oh my... Yeah, even I was feelin' a bit queazy... Okay, so I also have a Tobeco Turbo V2 on the way, too. Crap - Now I have enough nicotine to last me twice as long, if not longer, than I thought!

Yeah, don't OD on the nic. I'm not really a smoker but 3 mg will make me drunk and have me stumbling on a dripper. Even in a RTA it can be harsh. It sneaks up on you with temp control. You feel fine thru half a tank then it smacks you.

I can't imagine vaping 24mg's lol I use the normal 6mg in my VCT Pro with the .6 ohm coil running around 60-70 watts. I wish more (if any?) juice companies offered maybe an 8mg, cause 6 is a little low but when I try 12 it's too harsh for me. I have a Tugboat v2 on the way from vaporDNA myself, it's my first rda and I'm hoping it'll make the 6mg a little stouter?? How is the shipping with vapor DNA? I ordered last night and it's at an origin facility in L.A. for about 6 hours. I'm in Indiana so I'm hoping to get it Saturday (I paid for the expedited shipping). Can't wait to try it out. But no where near 24mg lol

Zoiks! I did 24 for a very brief while on old-school style cartos and single-coil Evods and the like...when I first went to dripping I dropped from 12 to 6 in a heartbeat, eventually 3...you'll find your happy place.

Dang! 24mg lol
I am doing 3.5mg and that seems just right for me.

 

[nabibrian]

Agreed ^ ^
I would probably venture to say that you will find your mixes change for the better as well.
Do you taste your flavors? lol

 

[CrazyChef]

Yeah, sometimes it's a little harsh - I vape the subtank mini at 23.5 watts. I'll start mixing at 12mg and go down from there. I was a HEAVY nicotine user (still am, I guess) in my previous life as a smoker/dipper.

 

[CrazyChef]

?? How is the shipping with vapor DNA? I

I ordered Sunday. It shipped Tuesday (Monday was Labor Day). It got here Thursday. From California to Massachusetts - You can't ask for better than that!

A great idea if you can manage this. I think you will find your flavors pop more.
Something I did that seemed to help me...
I kept a bottle of the higher nic juice and only vaped it a little at a time when I needed or felt that I needed a little extra nicotine oompf.

After about a week I noticed I was no longer reaching for the higher nic juice.

 

[CrazyChef]

Well, I'll keep the 24mg for the Kanger subtank mini and the Aspire Nautilus. Lower percentages for the RDA's and the Phantom. Also have a Thunderstorm on the way (Thanks Again, @VaporDNA !!!) that'll require the lower mg nics.

I just put the Kanger back on the iStick for work and forgot to lower the wattage. 50watts to the subtank mini is like a friggin' BBQ!
Gonna have to live with a slightly burnt wick at work today - no time to rewick. Gotta leave in 7 minutes.

Yeah man to much nic, u can over do it, i have seen people dripping 24mg and after about an hr vaping on it they get sick and throw up, just like booze u can overdose urself on nic.

You're right they are on it. I ordered around 10 pm (7 their time) on Wednesday night and my tracking now says delivery date on Saturday. Not bad for 3/4 of the way across the country.

I found myself getting strange effects from 12mg like headache and anxiety...cut back to 6mg and now it's alot smoother ride lol. Probably helps that I picked up some better quality juice too.

A few years back, when I was using EGO Tank style devices, and then DC Cartomisers, I was using 36 mg- like most folks say, though, once I moved to RBAs and building coils at less than 1ohm, my Nic content went way down; these days I mix my own and usually mix between 6 mg and, for when I need a kick, 9 mg.
If you are going to cut down,I suggest doing it in increments, first week 18mg, next week 12 mg until you get to 6-9 mg. Some folks can get by with zero Nic,but I don't think that you are going to be one of them, good luck.

Lol...that's why I keep my Subtank Nano on it's own little (istick 20w mini) mod. It's my little stealth vaper.
