Vandyvape kylin with dual coils. .30 ohms at 35watts.
Doesn't really bother me and I started on 36mg.
Now I'm thinking "Holy Shit".....
I calculated once, right after starting vaping, that the Camel Light 100s that I smoked would equal 12 mg/mL nic in my e-juice. Today, if I vape that high, I get a real buzz. I can do 6mg or 0mg today and don't even notice it is there (or not there). As long as I have something to suck on and blow out some vapor (like in quantity to cigarette smoke), then I am happy. Of course, flavor matters, but I routinely rotate through about nine different flavors and can be satisfied by any of them, even though my "preferred" ADV is Butterbeer.
I hope she is buddy, the mouth heals pretty fast
I would probably cough up a lung vaping that I use from 3 -0 mg for over a year.
Usually, the higher wattage you vape at, the lower nic level you want. My wife went from 12 to 3mg when she switched from tootle puffing to mod womper (not quite a cloud chaser at 35W). Now she is down to 1-1.5mg and perfectly happy.
Phillip uses the same strength as I do. So does my mother. It works for us. I really don't see cutting back any time soon. If anything, I only vape about once per hour when busy, but it takes a lot less time than smoking a coffin nail.
I didn't know either Draconigena, so I looked it up now. Here's someone's explanation ... Breaking the Code of Resistance Band Colors.
Seems red is between yellow and green. I have no idea if this is an accepted standard, but I suspect it's a good start on one specially if your physical therapist recommended it for your shoulder as it's not far away from the yellow I used at the start.
The other thing to keep in mind is you can work the band just slightly stretched at the start of the movement, or far more stretched. That has bridged the gap between band colors for me.
Exactly, everyone is different, if it works for you, keep at it....!
And, if you consider that I vape only 3ml per day, compared to some that claim to vape 15ml or more per day, it doesn't seem so bad.
Zackly....!
Some claim to vape 30+ mls per day, not sure how, they must really keep at it.
Cloud chasers, more than likely. They burn a lot of juice per puff.
G'nite, Jimi.
I'm bailing out too. Much much too tired today and I feel like I've already been up too long. Old bod wants to lie down now...
Hostile Winnebago, y'all.

Doing great - and hope you are too - or at least in less pain
So did I. Then learned they are great for adjusting - didn't realize some of them are very skilled at holistic healing and just helping you learn to treat yourself better to prevent crap from happening in the first place
So true, Juice.....

Good (very early) morning, everybody. Imagine you are all snoozing away right now. I should be, but I'm here with coffee, sitting in the dark and quiet. Love it.
@Ryedan please have your wife check with her dentist to find out if the denture(s) she got are 6-month temporaries. I got really screwed by my dental insurance company because my dentist did not tell me that my partial was a temporary, so then the insurance company refused to pay their part of a replacement once I'd had the temporary for more than six months. They will only pay for a replacement every five years, even though I'd had to have that temporary repaired FOUR TIMES over the course of a couple of years, to the tune of $150-$180 each time.
Will say that I was amazed at that whole process, when I had the partial fitted. I had broken one of my eye teeth eating popcorn in a theater, so off I go to the dentist and find out that it's gonna cost me about $3,200 to have everything done...and I nearly freaked...but. I went in for an exam and impressions, then went back a couple weeks later and they put me to sleep and did all the work. I woke up with four teeth fewer than I had when I went to sleep, plus two fillings, and that partial already fitted. I didn't take it out for about a week, I believe, just rinsed my mouth with some antibacterial wash they gave me, took some antibiotics, and let my mouth heal. I had NO, repeat NO, pain. No dry sockets, no bleeding, no pain. I don't know how it was possible.
When I found out the business about the insurance, I went looking for a place that could do a partial for a price I could afford to pay in cash. Found one down in Greensboro that did a cast metal partial for me for $750 all inclusive. I do not expect to ever have to replace this thing. It is built like a brick sh*thouse. Did have to take a nail file to it a few times to get it to be more comfortable. I am really happy with it now. It feels really sturdy and doesn't rub anywhere or cause any discomfort at all. I can eat a Snickers bar and the caramel doesn't pull my partial out of place. Everyone knows that's the real test, eh?
@Lady Sarah I know you're comfortable with your nic intake, but dang hon. That's a lot. I'd worry about that high a nic level making me sick, but as you say, you aren't hitting it very often - however - you must have some good-quality nic there for it not to burn the hell out of your throat. I can hardly sub-ohm 12mg juice, but then again, I'm new to sub-ohm tanks. On MTL, I've worked my way down from 18 to 10 now, but that's been over the course of about 7 years. Have only recently dropped from 12 to 10, once I started mixing myself and could make a decision about the nic level in my recipes. I'll give it a few months and then drop to 8, and probably stay there for a while.
I'd like to get to a place where I can mix all my juice the same vg/pg and nic, so all my juice works in any of my tanks. Have trouble going over about 50 vg, MTL over that gives me an awful tickle in the back of my throat that makes me cough. I might be able to push it to 55, don't know. I know I can't do 70 for sure.
Had the day from hell at work yesterday. I'm managing a big project and one of the ladies working with me on it is a complainer. OMG, she was in rare form yesterday, complaining about one of the guys who has also been working with us. Trying to tell me how to handle him. Nope. I will make that decision, thank you very much. I thought I was assertive, but this gal takes the cake. Have to figure out some way to calm her down, because she's making all of us crazy and distracted, and that's not a good mindset when we're trying to write and test programs. She also needs to stop interrupting my work fourteen times a day.
I think when I go back to the office on Thursday, I'm just going to keep my door shut all day. Quiet would help me get some damn work done.
Here I've written another book. Y'all must hate to see me coming.
Hope you all have a wonderful, comfortable day.

I know one time my son went through 120ml in about four days, so yeah. He was using some high-wattage POS Kanger mod with a plastic casing and built-in batteries (OMG!) with a Vaporesso Cascade on it, running at about 130W. I told him he was being ridiculous. He's 36 years old, not 20. He recently replaced his rig with a Voopoo Too and a Uforce tank, and I think he's down to about 10-15ml per day now, but he's also at 3mg nic. (That first rig he bought was courtesy of the salesmanship skills of his local vape store. I'd NEVER have recommended that he buy such a thing.)
I need to get a few 21700 battery wraps. Recently bought an iJoy Capo on the market here, and the battery wrap on the 21700 that came with it has a tiny nick in it. I covered it with 3 layers of regular tape, but am uncomfortable with that. Maybe hubbs has some electrical tape around here somewhere.
ETA: I've taken the iJoy out of commission for now, and ordered a new battery. Don't feel comfortable with any of the other alternatives.

Change anything recently like vape flavor?
Color of your socks?
Pretty much the same here.To me, it never was about the nic. My addiction is/was to suck-and-blow. (OK, perverts, sex is not the topic)
down to 2 ML of 100mg nic in 120 ML of juice.

I easily vape 30 mls a day - I was a 2.5 PAD smoker, so now I vape all day instead
Down to 2mg nic though - several squonkers and one RTA for work, and I have an RTA I use in bed at night and vape between .5 and 1.2 ohms

Not retarded yet (soon though) but can vape all I want at work, which I do, lol
Lucky duck.
My last job I could only vape or smoke at lunch and technically had to leave the property to do that.
Could not even vape at break as one had to stay on the property during break and vaping is prohibited on the property.

Just read where FL is putting a constitutional amendment on the ballot.I pay the office rent so I do what I want
Which combines offshore oil drilling ban and vaping indoors and such.
Together on one vote....
Will be interesting to see how that turns out.

Let's hope they vote it down, so the lawmakers might be forced to introduce it as separate issues. I'm so happy I have no plans to visit America's Wang.
I have no problem with banning vaping inside of restaurants and such. Same as with smoking. Health considerations aside it is just inconsiderate of others.
If everyone vaped in a considerate of others manner it would not be an issue but there are those who would be blowing clouds bro clouds all over.
And I prefer to taste my food vs someones vape when eating in a restaurant.

So true. A nephew of mine vaped 0mg just for the clouds. He was 19 at the time, but his parents threw away his mod. I have also noticed many cloud chasers going where there are groups of people just to show off, making matters worse for those who vape for the nicotine after giving up cigarettes.

I agree with you in spirit @The Cromwell but I still say that vapor isn't the only "smell polution" out there, and none of the rest of it is banned from anywhere. I don't like my co-worker's Red Door perfume, but I can't call HR and ask them to make a policy banning perfume and after shave, and air freshener and Lysol spray and scented cleaners and candles and and and...get my drift? No, I don't want to walk through anyone's vapor cloud in a restaurant, but the nearly $200 we wasted on Mannheim Steamroller tickets a few years ago, well, it would've been nice to have those bucks back. A woman two rows down from us was BATHED in something, and omg it was worse than any vape cloud I've ever encountered. We had to move up into the nosebleed section to get away from her. Could have spent $85 instead of nearly $200, all because of her shitty perfume.

Nothing more gagging than someone dripping in perfume or aftershave...
About as bad as the smell of a cigarette to me now.

I'd rather smell a cigarette, and that is saying something.
Hello old pharts! OMG perfume! I almost got into a fight one night at work. The nurse who came in to take over the next shift decided to bathe in some nasty perfume. She sat next to me and I had a anaphylactic response. My throat started feeling like I couldn't breathe. My eyes started to water profusely. I told her I'm allergic to most perfumes and to sit far away. It took 20 minutes to get over the attack. I don't carry a epi pen. I just ran outside to inhale some fresh air. Moral of the story: bitches stop bathing in perfume because you can kill someone. BTW all the bitch did was roll her eyes at me. I told her never ever to sit next to me again during report.
