Mixing with salt nicotine, up to what % is ok?

submitted over 6 years ago by Takeitawaybot

I am mixing with salt nic, e-juice will e used on a pod system.

NOTE: I will be using Salt Nicotine, not regular nicotine, also it will be used on a POD system, not sub-ohm.

I want to know up to what percentage is safe or okay to go up to.

Eonsmoke stik uses 6.8% meaning 68mg/ml Stig uses 6%, 60mg/ml Juul uses 5% by weight comes out around 59mg/ml

My question is is it ok to do it at 8%, 80mg/ml.

Thanks.

The higher you go the harder it will be too get good flavor. Personally I wouldn't go over 50%. Even when I started at 50% I have gotten it does to around 35%. The goal is to get off of nicotine so I would say maybe just take a few extra puffs if you need to but don't go that high with the nicotine for your own sake.

If you are just using the nicotine to get a head rush I would suggest looking into alternative options.

Edit: ya, 5%, not 50%, I dunno why but I was just thinking what percentage of my juice is nicotine.

50% is likely over the LD50 for nicotine. 50mg/ml (aka 5%) is another story.

I have to second you. Im stuck at 50 in a restricted airflow tank(zenith) due to tolerance. Most juices really taste gross at 50 and above. The bitter, the peppery sting really sucks the enjoyment out of it

And this is why I'm thinking the head rush is the goal. And there's nothing wrong with that, I mean hell, it's why I started smoking to begin with. But just be honest about the goal.

It is, but I miss the days of airy subohm vaping where the enjoyment was the most prominent aspect, and the rush was second

About 5 years ago I used to smoke 2 packs of cigs a day. I got 24mg freebase juice in a nautilus and almost puked from the nic. How do some people have that high a tolerance?

Unfiltered chain smokers with poly substance issues(esp stimulant addicts). I used 24mg freebase nic for more than a year. Definitely helped to decrease the mgs it to improve my anxiety levels.

No doubt. Used to smoke like a chimney as well. 24 mg in an Ego would make me nauseous and lightheaded.

Haha I know it’s the same but for the sake of not calling it 8%. But back to topic is it ok?

It might seem strong but I'm sure it'll be fine :)

Why do you need to? Just vape more. It's not a contest.

Not sure what country you're in but the legal maximum in Canada is 66mg/ml so anything beyond that is considered illicit nicotine use

Legal for purchase, sale, or import. But if you have juice that predates the law, you aren't legally required to not vape it.

I mean sure, go ahead and give yourself nicotine poisoning

Well, this is true too. Just pointing out the part about the law. (Just like they 'suggest' people who have 100mg/ml base dispose of it at a hazardous waste depot, but they can't require I use the weak-ass nicotine base they have limited us to.

As long as you don't care about it tasting good, it should be fine.

If you get nauseous stop. I doubt going above 7% is necessary

Nicotine is a poison. Our bodies can only tolerate it in relatively low doses, otherwise it's fatal. 8 percent seems very very strong and borderline dangerous to me. I would start lower, and work your way up and see if you notice any effects.

You should really consider 50 mg/percent/half the fucking thing as the maximum amount of nicotine and just take a second hit

I have an Infinix and Novo that I run 50mg per ml in but if I'd put that in the Pal 2 or Caliburn it is just way too much so I mix at 30-40mg for them. I also run Salts in my drippers and tanks but only 10mg. I had an Orion and had to run it at 65-70mg because I had it running at low wattage in order to keep from burning pods and didn't give me anything for flavor anyway.

I've sub ohmed 10% before. I'm sure you'll be fine at 8% with a pod

Perfect example of people doing stupid shit while vaping and giving us all a bad name. Let me guess, you did it on a mech mod with a 0.08ohm build while your battery wraps were teared? Safety guidelines are there for a reason.

I had someone in a YouTube comment tell me that "if you vape 50 mg nic salts in a sub tank you'll just cough and never do it again".

That's probably true for most people, but it could be much different for anyone that might not be in the best cardiovascular health, or is more sensitive to nicotine.

This was in a conversation about whether you can/should put nic salts in a sub tank. Technically nic salts aren't necessarily a high mg, but most commercially sold nic salts are 30-50 from what I've seen.

A lot of new vapers might not fully understand the nic concentrations, so I was warning them to be careful when saying you can use nic salts in anything. They flipped out lol.

You should see all the kids in BC trying to get that "phat headrush bro" off 50mg or 60mg juices. Asian kids like using it to get high as it's both legal and justifiable to their parents.

Perfect example of people saying stupid shit because they don't know the context.

OP asked if he'd be ok if he vaped 8%. Wasn't advocating that he should. Just stating it wouldn't kill him.

As for context, early on with diy'ing ejuice I accidentally formulated a batch at 10% instead of 5%. Was in the middle of mixing and had to drop what I was doing to take care of something else. When I came back to it, I forgot I had already added nicotine. Vaping that wasn't a pleasant experience.

Also educate yourself about nicotine when it comes to sub ohm vaping vs pods

So why didn't you tell OP that 10% wasn't a pleasant experience? I'd imagine 8% would be quite similar. That's some pretty shitty advice for a fellow vaper. Face it, you were just trying to brag.
