Nic level vs Wattage

[vaping_jake]

When one upgrades to higher wattage devices/ sub ohm, should one lower the nic level of the juice? Does the nic level hit harder to the throat at the higher watts? To me it seems the hit is harder.

I only use 18mg with 1.8 ohm at 3.8v but most subohmers seem to use a lot lower nic. The physics make sense the volume of vapor you intake increases so will the amount of nic ingested.

Nicotine is more rapidly absorbed by the body at higher temps too... So, yes, as you move to lower and lower Ohm resistances, you should (read MUST) reduce the nicotine levels of your juice or risk getting sick at worst, or a really harsh throat-hit and headache at best.

When I use my RDA below 1 Ohm, I tend to drip only 3mg or 6mg juices (using 3mg if below 0.5 Ohms). In my 1.5-2.0 Ohm tanks, I use 12 or 18mg... and in my RTA with 1.2-1.6 Ohm coils (more vapor/flavor and slightly warmer than tanks), I use 12mg max.

This is actually something I was looking for! Thanks!

I've been using Halo liquid (Kringles Curse to be exact), but I'm tired of paying $20 for a 30ml bottle, so I'm now mixing my own batches. I was wondering if I should try different concentrations for tank vs RDA.

Most people prefer to go higher VG when using an RDA. In my tanks I prefer a 50/50 blend. When using an RDA, I go higher VG, around 70 - 80%. When I tried doing 50/50 even at 3 mg nic, it still gives off a pretty harsh throat hit (coils built at around 0.6 - 1.0 ohm).

i have found that 3mg is good with >12w and 18mg when <12w

In my tanks i use 6mg...and in my rda i use 3mg or 6mg 50/50 and dont really have a problem with it. I have 1 bottle of juice that is 12mg but i dont use it because it tastes like mentholated cough syrup...a buddy gave it to me.
