How much nicotine?

I bought a target mini and the young guy there tolg me I should never go over 0.6 or at the most 6mg nicotine. I started vaping about 6 months ago to stop smoking and LOVE my target, but is it going to make me sick to go up to 12mg? I dont feel like Im getting enough nicotine, but Im not an expert either. HELP!

You won't get exceptionally ill or anything. Too much nicotine = tummy ache. Pay attention to your body and if your stomach starts to hurt, stop vaping.

I get a light woozy feeling if I get too much nic.. usually makes me go and hunt down some food.

When I converted from a 1.5 packs a day to vaping, my dealer set me up with 6mg nic and I was vaping about 3 or 4 mL a day.
I use a bit more juice nowadays (maybe 5 or 6mL ?).. but still 6mg nic.

If you do increment your Nicotine level, look for the signs of Nicotine overdose, such as nausea, and/or head ache.

90% of my vaping is mtl, usually with a genesis atomizer. I've found happiness in 50/50vgpg 9mg juices, thats my sweet spot. For direct lung, usually 70vg and 2-3mg.

Not telling you to do this. Never got satisfied until I started vaping below .5ohms. Went down to 3mg nic and started off slow not taking big hits. I may have gotten lite heading few times at first but nothing else. Just try a friends have them turn it down. First sign of something getting weird with your body stop. Nicotine is the devil have to becarefull but you need to be satisfied so you can enjoy vaping.

The store clerk gave you good advice from a juice merchant's perspective because if you feel you're not getting enough nicotine, then you will vape more juice & he will sell more juice.

A higher nicotine ratio can satisfy your cravings without making you sick because you will tend to put the target mini down when it has delivered your desired dosage.

I was a heavy smoker. I now vape at around 0.7 ohms & DIY my juice at 20mg but use only 3ml juice / day.

People usually go down in nic, not up.

If you feel you need/want more of your vape, for DL get a stronger mod, a good DL RTA/RDA, build bigger coils and use higher wattage, or for MTL get a good MTL RTA, but don't use higher nic.

I'd second the advice about maybe trying 9mg.

The advice that "you'll know when you've had enough" is not necessarily true, because vaporized nicotine takes a great deal longer to reach the brain than nicotine in smoke; by the time you feel sick, you could have vaped for 15 mins past where you'd actually had enough -- I had that problem with 18mg and 12mg.

First sign of too much is usually, feeling kinda nervous/hyper; then little sharp pins and needles pain all over your abdomen; maybe a bit of light-headedness, head spins, dizziness; maybe headache; then nausea, which could progress to vomiting.

The method of inhalation is very different from smoking, to get max nicotine ASAP. Smoking, you drew it deep into your lungs, and that is not very effective with vapor; hold it in your mouth and throat for a bit before inhaling, then exhale via your nose as much as your mouth -- that's how you get max nicotine from vapor, but it will still take longer than smoke.

Sounds like he just suggesting clouds, although 12mg may be a bit high, get a bottle of 12mg and a bottle of 6mg, mix them together and you'll have 9mg juice :)
