Been vaping for bout a year. Wanted to quit the cigs a long time but needed to fill the gap. When I am ready I'll let go of it to. Big health difference, it is a harm reduction but not 100% perfect. There are other chemicals in cigs that enhance addiction and are more toxic. Nicotine in vape form is like consuming caffeine. Reading about nicotine one time it's unique as it stimulates and sedates at the same time effecting serotonin allowing focus compared to caffeine and amphetamines. It is important in ayahusca brew. The vine or supplementary herbs containing the MAOI is the strength DMT is the light and nicotine is the power , the essences of the brew.
As for juice find what you like there is tons out there, I have preference to certain fruit as well as custard flavors. I run sub ohm so 3mg nicotine strength. More of a flavor chaser but my set ups produce cloud hence 3mg will get me buzzed. Sometimes I'll go through 20ml of juice or more in a day.
MY mods are the Joytech Cuboid and Wismec Reluex RX200s Samsung 25-r for both and a set of LG HB6 for the 200s , good for 30 Amp
Has all the Griffin atty, I broke my 25 plus but it ran well in cold weather without getting dry hits. I am happy with my Ammit from Geek Vape again, mostly for driving on my Cuboid .
I use my Tsunami 24 RDA most lately. In there I got dual 3.5 mm coil 24 gage SS316 in temp mode 80 watt pre heat, .25 ohm Made the zipper coil once from 28g and will do again, but will need another set of HB6 battery because it will likely draw over 25 Amp, of course not necessary but why not. I like tinkering with things. I built my own room air filter from a fan. box and good furnace filter so my room don't get clouded or for $25 Cannukistan pesos.
Will get the Doode RDA or Goon RDA (clone $25) next pay, and the OBS engine RTA looks like it will flow good. I am all bout rebuildable, I couldn't buy those replacement coils when I know I can do it my my self. Here in Canada Cloud Beast coils are $8 plus tax each. Rebuilding cost me $1 week on cotton/wire and I change cotton every day, the coil is good for weeks.
shops usually carry replacement glass for $5 if you change you're mind. When I'm ready ill give it up. like you said vaping and cig withdrawal are two different things. If you're done with it think of where that money could go. as they say, don't look back.
Tree tobacco , Nicotiana glauca I have been curious to try as well. It has medicinal effects and has minor psychedelic effects, said to help some quite smoking. Does not contain nicotine You are right, with the push of a button I vape to much. I could be doing worse things, a transition. I hope this doesn't spoil the thread, but I vaped in paint . In the past I kept a candle to light a smoke. I wrapped the mod in saran and had a sampler drip tip in.
Ive been vaping for 3 years now. I make my own e-juice. My favorite mod has been the smok GX350 with a TFV8 tank using the new v10 coils. Great flavor and massive cloud output.
