Any 0% vapors, e nicotine vs cigs help

[furball]

Hi i was just wondering if there are any 0% nicotine vapors out there, i have ordered the lowest % and i smoke 15 cigs a day average.
I think it is the action of smoking so have ordered a flavoured juice. I will try the 0% if i like it.
Also just wondered what the real info is (not the internet propaganda) about the nicotine in the juice. How does it compare to real cigs, i know i am cutting out all the 100's of other harmful chemicals but how long would i have to vape to say smoke the same as 20 cigs.
I am awaiting a titan 501 starter and have bought a large juice and empty carts. Sorry for all the questions, but i know that the answers on here will be more informative than googling. Many thanks in advance.

Hi Furball
Im not totally at 0% nic all the time but almost. I mix my own to about 2.5mg but also do make up the odd batch of no nic.
For me I like lots of vapour so add a lot of VG.
I find even the low pre mixed stuff can give me a headache now if I vape it too much.
Think it all depends on what kind of a vaper you are. I really enjoy the action rather than the nic hit so not having much nicotine doesnt bother me at all. I dont crave real fags one bit

If you want no nicotine juice I recommend buying a bottle of PG and a bottle of VG. Get some flavourings from an ecig shop and make your own. I make my own no nic menthol when I want to vape but don't really need to.
My mix is usually 40% PG, 40%VG and 20% flavour. Or just throw in menthol crystals. I find with the crystals you actually get a throat hit which you dont get with 0% nic juice.

I've noticed sellers selling 0% ejuice charge the same as the would for nic juice. Imo thats a waste of money.

20 a day smoker i would say needs 18mg liquid.
I get through about 30ml a week of liquid but I vape pretty much non stop.

Hi Fairball I'm certain we do have other 0% vapers - but I'm not one of them

Hard to say really about how long you would have to vape for the equivalent of 20 cigs as sometimes I just take a couple of drags on my e-cig whereas I would have smoked a whole cig. However, overall, the theory is we don't absorb the nicotine in the same way as smoking & most folks (but not all) do tend to maybe vape more often than they smoked. Then again on the other hand, so many folks find they can go without vaping for much longer periods than did when smoking.

Lol, that's not really very helpful is it

BTW, we would love to see pics of your furry friends - we have a pet pic thread in the Lounge section of the forum

Lol, the above post took me so long to type due to my kitten "helping" that neither Wotsit or Vaped was there when I started typing

Thankyou for your very quick replies. I have no idea what the difference is between VG and PG but have seen them on the sites for sale along with the juice flavouring drops. I had no idea you could make your own, this is going to be fun. Thankyou again for your quick reply,

oh one more question, can i still be classed as a non smoker even if i vape low nicotine.

[Chrissie]

Yes you can be classed as a non smoker even if vaping high nicotine juice

Should be some useful info on this thread about mixing your own juices : -

OOOh my how fabulous, only got to page 6 and i am so envious, are your cats Maine Coons, i took a feral kitten that was a Maine Coon, took 3 weeks before he would eat with the light on, he turned out to be the most wonderful affectionate cat. I have told OH that when the time comes for another cat it will be a MC. I looooove all yours but Isaac is fantastic.
Seems like i have found the perfect forum, I will post some pics of my 3 but have to download them from my camera first. Back to the thread now to drool some more. Thankyou for posting the link x
p.s all mine are rescues, even my ragdoll.

[Chrissie]

Really looking forward to seeing you post your pics on that thread Furball Most of mine are also rescues/rehomes

Ok, got to page 7, i am now packing the tent to move down to you, 9 Maine Coons is my idea of heaven. x

Welcome to the All About Furball. I smoked about 15 cigarettes a day, but I found that 16 - 18 mg of nicotine e-juice, was perfect for me.

The difference between PG and VG is that the VG is thicker than PG and produces more vapor, but less throat hit. I like a 70% PG - 30% VG mix. Some people are allergic to PG, so they have to go with 100% VG.

I need to go to the UK, to collect all the Maine Cooncats and return them to Maine, where they belong.

Thankyou Jerry, that's interesting. I think i am going to enjoy finding out the mixes and flavours as it seems never ending.
As for the Maine Coons, couldn't be anywhere more beautiful than Cornwall, I am definately packing my tent.
