    Too many variables. I generally vape 12mg on 0.3 at 80w, but most people that vape 12mg use much lower power. I wouldn't say you can't, but it's generally not recommended.

    Usually 30% and never more than 50%. Actually, today I am down to 9mg - 12mg makes me too lazy, although I prefer the throat hit. Stimulant my arse!

    20 watts usually, dual 26 AWG coils, or some single clapton/alien pre-builts, 50/50 PG/VG. Maybe Chemipan or maybe I'm just a wizened old codger...

    I just remembered.....

    Last time I was in Thailand, a friend mixed some 'home brew' juice for me at
    6mg..

    He used Chemipan, PG/VG and their flavourings..

    It ripped my throat out.....

    Just wondering IF , its the diluents from Chemipan , is the cause....

    Has anyone else had a similar problem using Chemipan PG/VG ?????

    I've used Chemipan before, nothing strange there.

    *I haven't used their flavourings, and don't intend to!

    I suspect the combination of power and high nic is the cause of OP issue

    FYI - I tried 1.05 ohm single coil, 12 W. No change. BUT I have to say, without nicotine, there is no problem.

    And - I tried several flavors from Chemipan. Please save that money! It's damn bad with chemic taste.

    I'd say obviously it's the nicotine, but from 2 different suppliers.??.

    Only thing I can suggest is lower the nicotine in Ejuice me up...

    Am I missing something? The nic calculation is for 18mg. There is a massive difference between 0 and 18.

    Yes, two nicotine bases from two different sources. I'll lower it

    I'll test it with 3 and 6mg

    I mix 50/50 VG/PG with 6mg Nic. Right throat hit for me.

    Apparently there is a way of testing the Nic mg ...

    (But ' Bromothymol Blue' in Thailand, where from... who knows??)

    12N Sulfuric Acid
    Bromothymol Blue
    Distilled Water
    10mL Graduated Cylinder, .1mL markings is optimum
    A paper towel
