Nicotine is just as addictive as caffeine.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: Everyone is different. I've found it quite difficult to reduce my nic, because when I do, I just vape more liquid to compensate and end up at the same number of mg/day. It's taken me the better part of a year to get from 15 to 13, stepping down 0.5 mg/ml at a time, and I'm still going through a bit more juice than when I was at 15.Over about a year's time, I reduced from 10mg to 3mg, using even less wattage than with my old Kayfuns, and going thru LESS ejuice -- so now, rather than 10ml of 10mg per day -- 100mg of nic in a day's time -- I use 5ml of 3mg -- 15mg over a day's time.
Is there any wonder I blather incessantly about the Achilles?????????? (or that I naysay the idiot idea that "nicotine is soooooo addictive" -- HOGWASH!)

I am at around 2.5 mg. Been there for a year or so. My next bottle i made is 30% lower see how that works out. If i sleep any better.
I smoked ultra-lights (are we still allowed to call them that?) as well. Merit Ultra Lights just about forever followed by Camel Turkish Silver for the last few years after the Merits got hard to find. I also found WTA very helpful early on. It hasn't been in any of my mixes for ages, but I still drip a drop or two on occasion. But in the end, I vape for the nicotine. Put me someplace where I can't vape and I'm looking for the exit -- or the nicotine gum.I'll concede that, since most vapers don't require WTA just to get free of the bone-deep cravings, and some of us definitely do. I think the fact that I smoked ultra-lights for the last 20 of my 39 yrs as a smoker is the reason both for my essential lack of nic addiction, AND my powerful addiction to the MAOIs -- I probably got over most of my nic addiction while still smoking, since VA Slims Ultra-Lights contain very little nic, and I never did inhale them very deeply, thx to the asthma -- but i was still getting a full pk-a-day dose of the MAOIs.

As far as Hershey bars go..... even with small bites the different size bars taste different from each other and the kiss nothing like the rest..My thoughts on the massive vapor thing and people saying how great the flavor is.
Kinda like eating a Hersheys kiss vs an entire Hersheys bar in one mouthful.
Does not taste any better just more of the same taste.
Bigger is better?
Super Size my vape?
I actually agree. Not so much taste as mouth feel, the bigger ones are kind of fudgey.As far as Hershey bars go..... even with small bites the different size bars taste different from each other and the kiss nothing like the rest..

For the big bars, the Special Dark is scrumptious.I actually agree. Not so much taste as mouth feel, the bigger ones are kind of fudgey.
No chocolate as horrible as the cheap halloween chocolate.
The same chocolate I think.Don't know about that - chocolate sold by rugrats for school fundraisers can be awfully wretched
The same chocolate I think.
25% paraffin?

I only ever went up to 50 - 60 watts for all day vaping. I took around 3 second drags. With my current 17 - 23 watt adv setups I can hit the 10 second shutoff and almost always do 6 - 8 seconds. Both worked for me, but I also prefer a lower power vape now.
Why do you think I like to throw stuff at the kids?Too true Lucy. Try living a block from the school.
Yeah is kinda strange considering the problems I have with bitter stuff. Go figure?I'm completely amazed you can tolerate it, it's so bitter. I started buying high-cacao-percentage chocolate bars to get magnesium, but 60% cacao is the least-sweet I can tolerate.

Must be a quirk of this human form that I occupy?
I think to me the Special Dark chocolate tastes kinda like coffee should taste from the smell of ground roast coffee beans?
Cooked greens are horrible things!
Just a touch of Nestles quick for me.Maybe so -- I know that I enjoy coffee a lot more if I mix a bit of hot cocoa powder into it.
Andria
Ok cool. My son's had some coffee/tobacco stuff in it, so I'll boil it clean and put one of my own builds in it tomorrow -- that would be AWESOME if i could use it, its tight draw is truly amazing, and flavor seems ok too, though it's hard to know for sure, since usually about the time it got broken in, i'd refill and it would start leaking so I'd say fuck this and grab my Achilles.
Andria
Exactly. We just don't. It isn't seemly.
Ok, @Nailz -- I got the Berserker vaping, and for a marvel -- it's NOT leaking. Vapes great, though; I hope this keeps up1

I put it on one of the heat sinks I normally use under my Achilles, because the heat sinks are 22mm, and also stainless, which ties in with the stainless/chrome finish of my angled adapter nicely. Otherwise the Berserker would slightly overhang this mod, and since it seems to have a long 510 pin, there's also a pretty considerable gap between the Berserker and the mod -- either the overhang or the gap wold be tolerable, but together, just look shitty. Also since I'm using the small Ultem tank, my mouth is closer to the coil, so I thought the heat reduction of the heatsink would be a good thing.
Maybe it's different with the glass tank, but I really wasn't able to put much more than 2ml in this tank; maybe 2.2ml.

It's a known fact that men have a higher tolerance/liking for really high-cacao chocolate than women do.I'm completely amazed you can tolerate it, it's so bitter. I started buying high-cacao-percentage chocolate bars to get magnesium, but 60% cacao is the least-sweet I can tolerate.
Some explode anyway"Women do not fart. Women do not belch. Therefore we must bitch OR WE WILL EXPLODE."
Andria
Yea I forgot it came as the 2 mil setup, changed both of mine to the larger glass as soon as I got them

I just started vaping 4 weeks ago, and I quickly discovered that 150+ watts on a massive atomizer is NOT my cup of tea. I could sit and fog a room out, drain a tank of juice, and somehow not feel satisfied. I find puffing massive clouds for too long just dulls the flavour, and I lose the 'kick' I typically get from a vape.
I slowly started experimenting with lower wattage flavor taylored builds, and they seem much more satisfying. Ordered an Ammit RTA to help with this.
The juice consumption was the number 1 factor for dialing back the watts. Don't get me wrong, I've still got a big cloud setup, but it's my "special" setup, don't use it all day.
That hadn't dawned on me. Since I've switched to single coil rtas I don't believe I've had vapers tongue. HmmmmmI figure big cloud vapin helps to cause vapers tongue.
