I am a sub-ohm vaper since I want the smoke to kill my lungs. I purchased a lot of flavourings (about 50 different CAP, FLV, INW etc.) but never found a good recipe and failed to quit cigarettes so I have no good experience.
Yesterday when out on a work break my colleague had started vaping a pod system. Nerdy as I am I started to ask her is that a refillable pod, what mg you vaping etc. and then I asked her. " Hey, you know mixing makes smoking basically free. I actually have purchased everything you need to mix but never got around to do it. Why donât I mix for you? "
So now Iâve promised to get back to her with 5 bottles of different 5ml samples on monday. HELP.
How do I apply a recipe for a pod instead of sub-ohm? I read so many comments on old recipes on ELR saying âNote that this is an old recipe not for sub-ohm vaping and that it needs to be changedâ and they are not just referring to nic mg. So if I use a sub-ohm recipe from 2020 how to change it for pod?
One big difference is Iâm used to mixing with 3mg. This gyal need 20mg since she a heavy smoker trying to quit with a pod.
Any tips are useful Also should I mix 30PG/70VG for a pod or what?
You need to quickly order a bottle of nic salt base if you wanna impress her with your mixing mojo: if sheâs using pods thatâs probably what sheâs vaping and if sheâs using freebase the difference with how the salts feel in her lungs and the higher nicotine % will make her dizzy enough to quickly scoop her up off the ground and stuff her in the boot of your car while nobodyâs looking.
Or donât go higher than 12mg in freebase or sheâll just cough, be unimpressed and hate you for fucking a perfectly good coil.
And Iâd stick to 50/50 for a pod, to ensure sheâs not going to get dry hits from bad wicking.
You think the store actually gave her salt nic? I actually have a few bottles I never came around to try on sub-ohm as I read it was bad for high temps.
Salt nic is pretty unusual in Sweden where we live and everything is sold without nic and they nic it up for you due to old EU law I donât think is still in effect. But salts are still pretty rare to talk about.
I dunno, if salts are more or less unheard of in your country, but theyâre in all the pre-filled pod devices and pods were basically made to coincide with nicotine salts being introduced since the lower power and size of pods didnât lend themselves to lower mg/mL freebase - which really needs higher powered devices to deliver enough nicotine.
They couldnât really reduce the size of devices and their battery/coil/tank configurations until salts because freebase is just too harsh at higher mg levels, with salts allowing super-concentrated 50-60mg/mL liquids thatâre smooth enough to inhale.
Spose youâve gotta find out what kind of nicotine sheâs using now then, but if youâve already got salt nic base sitting there Iâd be using that.
50mg/mL mix, sheâll be so addicted to the higher milligrams after a week sheâll do ANYTHING bor more of that awesome shit.
I would go 50⌠actually depends: is it smooth, or just as harsh as freebase?
You gotta try some and see: most the salts Iâve had have been so smooth you gotta go 50mg to get a lung hit, but Iâve had one commercial juice that was salt nic and at 50mg it was so harsh I couldnât vape it until Iâd diluted it to 25.
Mix like, 5mL at 50mg and see how the lung hit is: if itâs too harsh, then cut it in half and once youâve got the lung hit right mix hers at whatever mg/mL you end up at.
Edit: use a MTL tank though, or a lower wattage sub-ohm or the nic sickness will creep up on you pretty quickly @50, plus you wanna try and emulate her pod - which will be much lower wattage than your sub-ohm setups
A dripper would at least be easy to test it withâŚ
Changing out a closed tank for one test hmm.
See if the salt nic bottle says âsmoothâ anywhere on it: if it does, it should be smooth enough at 50mg.
Youâve really gotta try it though to be sureâŚ
Or, you could go ahead and mix some freebase up @12mg and add a bonus 12mg salt nic to that - 24mg mixed: thatâll be guaranteed to not be too harsh, while giving her an extra satisfying nic hit.
You still canât really test that in a 70W tank though⌠âŚyou canât really test anything higher than 9mg in a tank that power hungry.
When you are out shopping next or online shopping, Iâd look for a cheap RDA (+10m wire, +cotton if you donât wanna use normal 100% cotton balls) for testing purposes: thatâs what we need here, a dripper to quickly tesxt the throat hit of the salt nic base.
So I would mix my juice @0%, then add 12mg/mL salt nicotine and test that in your 70W tank, then add another 12mg/mL normal nicotine base to it before giving it to her.
Yeah Iâve got a Hellvape Passage dripper but Im bad at using it but have gotten a configuration what works somewhat. Dont remember ohm etc. Im very new to vaping. Can chekc on that havent used it for a while it need a checkup.
Ive ran into another problem now when trying to adapt receipes on ELR. See picture:
He hasnât got an RDA to test this nicotine base for throat hit, so weâre trying to find a way gotte him to do that when heâs only got massive battery-eating tanks.
I think thatâll do it.
The 12mg salt + 12mg freebase will hit the spot for this chick without killing her, and not be too harsh in a pod, OR too weak
ummm, no. your octopus tentacles overthought my âsubscribingâ.
âsubscribingâ is simply a way for me to be notified so this thread doesnât sneak away from me. i have a pod i use, and the flavor is almost nothing, so i am following for tips.
If his NIC is TPD compliant, it will be 18ml in 100ml already mixed (looking at the recipe, at least, it is), not NIC like you lucky people across the pond get. It simply will not mix to the levels you are suggesting.
Also should I mix 30PG/70VG for a pod or what?
