It’s also BS because it is 4chan and a lot of their posts are untrue and homosexual.

This is BS. By the third or fourth bottle shed be like wtf is up with this juice?

If they were vaping a whole 30ml bottle @ 50mg/mL per week, yeah probably. That’s a pretty extreme dependency. I don’t know anyone ingesting that much nic, after 7 years in vape industry / over a decade vaping myself. I’m not in the US though, Juul kinda fucked things up over there

my city banned flavors yet allows the sale of flavored alcohol with cartoons on them. i dont get it
ShellMonkey@lemmy.socdojo.com 6 months ago
Way back when there where flavored analog cigs, I think those got banned nationally for the same reason they claim now for vapes that it entices kids. Dumb thing about that argument though is you have a million different juice/soda/energy drinks out there, generally with much better flavors since they’re not worried about masking alcohol or nic, and yet the kids still go for the alcohol and nic. Maybe, it’s not just the flavors that kids are after…

I’ve never in over 10 years seen 50mg/ml eliquid. This has to be salt nic right? Tried that once or twice and that stuff was bonkers. Been around the scene for a while too and even released a few recipes that are on the front page of ELR
gila@lemm.ee 6 months ago
Yeah upon rereading the story there’s no shot, tampering with 50+ bottles of eliquid without breaking the break-off band or messing up the plug. Anon is basically a fly by night compounder
But yeah, 35/50mg are the default strengths for majority USA salt nic eliquids off the shelf, the standard set by Juul upon first entering the market (though arbitrarily Juul measures by weight rather than by volume, so their pods are actually 59mg/mL)

Nic salts give me wicked headaches so I don’t mess with them at all. Last time I got so light headed I almost fell. That’s saying a lot too since I used to Dip a lot back then.

She would just hit harder and tape more. Quitting doesn’t work this way.

Did you actually lower by only a percentage a week, or were you doing the normal thing and just buying weaker juice? Commercial vape juices have multiple percentage differences in their nic content between the different “tiers” of juice. That would be much more sudden and noticeable than 1% a week lower.

I mixed my own juice and controlled the nicotine very precisely
chemical_cutthroat@lemmy.world 7 months ago
I tapered off vaping using the same method, and there is a clear difference in the feeling of a pull when you cut the nicotine down. Also, you can’t just “cut” the nicotine, you’d have to find some way to enhance the flavor of the diluted mix otherwise it will just get more bland. All of that being said, this is a valid strategy for kicking it. Just buy lower nicotine content bottles until you get down to 0% nic, and if your your experience is like mine, you just wake up one day and don’t reach for the vape on the nightstand.

As far as it being bland, that’s why you get the same flavor juice with 0 nicotine and cut it with that. It does reduce the “throat hit” (that feeling you’re talking about), but you still get the full flavor.
Zekas@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Mixed my own until I quit. You have to be vaping the exact same shit constantly to have the taste so dialled in. If it’s this slow a taper you’re never going to be notice from one week to the other. And while I didn’t use a ton, shortfills seemed fine to use with or without nicotine added. Just add less or replace with unflavoured liquid.

If you mixed 50/50 VG/PG with the juice 1% at a time over months, the difference would be imperceptible. If a person vapes only one flavor, olfactory fatigue is going to take the flavor away way more than even a 50% cut.
That all goes out the window if someone vapes different flavors, though.
