Brand new! nico questions

[BigLou]

Hello All,

Been a heavy cigar smoker for about 15 years. Smoke 5 to 6 big, full bodied cigars/day. I try not to inhale and I have no idea how much nicotine I would need to replace.

Just received my veppo disposable e-cigar with medium nicotine. It is my first vap. I picked the e-cigar because I never smoked a cigarette in my live. After about 5 min, I am getting a bit light-headed. While I want some nicotine, I think I should try a very low level.

I realize now that if I am going to vap, I should go with a quality e-cigarette, not a disposable cigar.

Just ordered a Joye 510 Mega starter kit. For juice I ordered one 30ml 0mg and a few 10ml 11mg flavors. I figure that if I find the 11mg too strong, I can dilute it with the 0mg.

I'm sure that this will be a proccess of trial and error until I find the right system & juice. Thank you all for the info on this board.

Sounds like you're on the right track all the way around. Welcome, and congrats!

Welcome to the ECF! It sounds like you may be getting too much nic. Because you didn't inhale all of the cigar smoke, it is possible that you were not getting that much nicotine from them. It is open to question just how readily nicotine in smoke is absorbed in the mucous membranes in your mouth as opposed to your lungs. Vapor, on the other hand, is readily absorbed by the mucous membranes. I think you are on the right track ordering lower nic juices.

Another possibility is that you are actually inhaling too much oxygen. The draw on your e-cigar may be lighter than an analog cigar and you also may be inhaling deeper and more often, increasing the amount of air you are inhaling.

Thanks ropetrick.

cyberwolf, you may be right. This is why I need to test and experiment. BTW- I'm in coral springs as well!

Hi Lou, Welcome to the forum. Wanted to suggest that you get some samples from Johnson Creek. Their Red Oak line of juices reminded me of cigars. Cyberwolf is right about the absorption of nicotiene in the mouth. You may want to go with a pretty low nic level, but try to find a juice with a strong rich flavor. Good Luck!

welcome to the vapor world...i'm new too...i don't smoke cigar previously but i saw a thread where this guy has blended several flavors that really mimics cigars...in fact he has 3 blends which he even say mimic several brand/type of cigars...you can try searching for it in this forum if not google it, happy vaping!

Thanks all.

Can't wait to get my Joye 510 Mega starter kit. Ordered and shipped today. This disposable cigar just isn't doing the trick.

Hi Lou and welcome. You can use your 510 with cigar flavored juice. Happy vaping.

Congrats on making the electronic move! If your getting light headed and you feel uncomfortable with how much your definately getting too much nicotine. I would say your on track with the juice, could always make your own too and dilute it to your own level. Check out mistressnomads video posts, they helped me a lot.

Huh, I used to live in Coral Springs, too.
