am I OD'ing?

[jason]

I vape 36mg juice exclusively and go through 3-4 ml a day. I'm worried if I'm OD'ing

I don't feel light headed or anything even when I chain vape over weekends. In fact, I don't get the nico hit with lower strengths and there are very few juices that I like that are available in 36mg. James has a few but he's run out of caramel

Anyway, my main worry is, am I OD'ing?

I think if you were OD'ing, you would feel light headed and a bit sick. Still though, that's a lot of nicotine that you are vaping. Were you a heavy smoker ???

Thanks Jerry for the quick reply. I used to smoke ~25/day of lights, which relatively speaking is not very high compared to some stalwarts who lurk around here

It's strange - no sickness, nausea or anything?? Is there a chance of some harm due to this excessive amount of nic - this is what is worrying me?

(afterpost) whatever, I'm not taking any chances!

*smacks Aldo - please this is a serious thread*

Jason, I mainly vape 36mg but sometimes 24mg, but I was a very heavy smoker.

Jason,
I'm sorry for the off-topic on your thread! I vape 24mg about 3-4ml a day! I reckon 36mgs is a bit high for daily vaping and chain-vaping !
If you're not feeling any OD symptom maybe that's ok... there is no study regarding nic absorption and it probably varies a lot from person to person! Probably you don't absorb as much as some of us do, or maybe your body has higher tolerance to it... don't really know what else to say! Also, I have no scientific knowledge of nic harmful effects when in high doses, my main worry was always the tar etc... the nicotine I always saw it as an addictive substance and not much else... It may be interesting though to read other replies as they might enlighten me a little further too!
Once again sorry for the off-topic, I recognise it was somewhat rude from me !
greetings

Jason, just to give you a comparison, I smoked 15 ultra light cigarettes a day and I use 1 1/2 ml of 16 - 18 mg e-juice, a day.

You may want to consider cutting down the nic content to 24 mg and see how you make out with it.

It's all right Aldo - I anyway missed the joke you guys shared.

I started with 24mg but found myself needing an analog to satisfy the nic craving. So I moved up straight to 36mg which seems OK. Maybe I should try coming down to 30mg first?

I'll stick my bit in here, I smoked 30 - 40 roll ups a day. I used to hand roll so they weren't the huge fat ones but I'd get through around 75 grammes of golden virginia a week.
I now use medium around 18 mg and get through anything between1 - 3 mls a day.

That's a good idea, Jason. If you can't find 30mg e-juice, then get some 24mg and mix it 50/50 with 36mg juice.

Hi Jason,I am a chain vaper and use 36mg juices also.I have found that anything less than 36mg doesnt really cut it for me.I used to smoke about 50-80 rollups a day and even more than that when drinking at the weekend.If you feel ok mate and its keeping you off the dreaded weeds then stick with it.I certainly dont deprive myself of my 5-10ml a day of 36mg juice,ive stopped drinking alcohol for 6 months now and feel loads better since vaping.As Jerry says though,if you feel unwell then consider cutting the nic down.Ive found some lovely Dekang tobacco flavours at vapourworld,the flu cured tobacco 36mg PEG is my favourite vape at the moment,very realistic tobacco taste.

75gms per week??? I used to smoke almost 40gms per day at my worst! I used Rizla Concept Tubes so each cig was obviously larger than yours deesigner but, even so, yours must have been as thin as matchsticks - I was a hopeless handroller.

Hi Jason,

as before, unless you do start to feel unwell (for example- headaches, sickness, palpitations) I think you should just do what you gotta do. xx
