Hi Guys

As the title says, I'm (very!) new to dripping, I bought an Odin Clone on Monday. It works brilliantly, flavour is awesome and I can hardly believe the amount of vapour it produces. Which is where I think my problem comes in. I'm a mouth-to-lung inhaler, always has been, even when I smoked. I usually vape 15mg juice at 12w on my Provari 3/Nautilus Mini and get a proper through hit and enough nicotine. I drip 6mg juice at 12 - 15w when I use the Odin and obviously do lung inhales. I find, however, that after a few toots my chest gets heavy and I am slightly short of breath. Logic tells me it must have something to do with the volume of vapour and the fact that I inhale deeper with a direct lung inhale. I don't think 6mg is too strong as there is no throat hit, just loads of vapour and flavour. Has anyone experience something similar when moving to an RDA?

Thanks in advance for all the good advice I know will follow.

Cheers!

Chris

Sorry, throat hit, not through hit......
 
Your body needs time to get used to it. I was like that at first and now I can't do mouth-to-lung anymore. Straight lung hits only for me. Give it some time.
 
Hey. 6mg in a dripper is loads. I also used to vape 12mg thru tanks until i fell head over heals for drippers because of the flavour. Try straight lung hits little by little and obviously with less nic mg. You wont be sorry!
 
I still do mouth to lung, even on my Odin. But, most do direct to lung on such atomizers - in which case the advice above sounds spot on to me.
 
Yes at first this will be the case, firstly starving your brain of oxygen and also nicotine restricting bloodflow to the brain, after a few days you will get used to it. Be-careful tho you dont want to pass out like I did a few times :-D
 
Be very car full with that RDA... Uncle silver will get you when you least expect it. :rofl:

But yeah I was like that in the beginning, a couple of days and will be all good. :rock::rock:

Your prediction proved to be spot on. Took two deep lung hits on a friend's RDA yesterday, he drips 11mg juice, and J'sus, I had to sit down, I thought I was going to pass out. No more than 6mg for me and even then I'm gonna handle this little toy with a lot of respect.......
 
Just I quick question off topic, 6mg has also been very strong for me on a dripper, but i cant find any 3mg juices, who sells 3mg without going DIY?

Hi Andre

What if you buy the same flavour in 0mg, if they make it obviously. Then you can mix the two 50/50 to make 3mg.

Sorry, my blond moment for the day. I didn't see others gave the same advice higher up the post. Apologies.
 
I dilute most of my juices by at least half or more with Glycerin BP; with no perceivable loss of flavour for me.
 
I vape 6mg in my RTAs and I vape 3mg in my RDAs (drippers), anything higher than that I will pass out.

I'm still using 12 - 18mg in my drippers.... :sweating: although I've been building my coils at about 1.4 - 1.6 ohms so maybe that's why I haven't killed myself yet.

Reading your post made some things re ascend... I still have nightmares of my first drip on 18mg :sweating:
