    If they were vaping a whole 30ml bottle @ 50mg/mL per week, yeah probably. That’s a pretty extreme dependency. I don’t know anyone ingesting that much nic, after 7 years in vape industry / over a decade vaping myself. I’m not in the US though, Juul kinda fucked things up over there

        Way back when there where flavored analog cigs, I think those got banned nationally for the same reason they claim now for vapes that it entices kids. Dumb thing about that argument though is you have a million different juice/soda/energy drinks out there, generally with much better flavors since they’re not worried about masking alcohol or nic, and yet the kids still go for the alcohol and nic. Maybe, it’s not just the flavors that kids are after…

      I’ve never in over 10 years seen 50mg/ml eliquid. This has to be salt nic right? Tried that once or twice and that stuff was bonkers. Been around the scene for a while too and even released a few recipes that are on the front page of ELR

      I don’t see how this four Chan guy could have been able to pull off his claim… doesn’t really add up

        Yeah upon rereading the story there’s no shot, tampering with 50+ bottles of eliquid without breaking the break-off band or messing up the plug. Anon is basically a fly by night compounder

        But yeah, 35/50mg are the default strengths for majority USA salt nic eliquids off the shelf, the standard set by Juul upon first entering the market (though arbitrarily Juul measures by weight rather than by volume, so their pods are actually 59mg/mL)

          Nic salts give me wicked headaches so I don’t mess with them at all. Last time I got so light headed I almost fell. That’s saying a lot too since I used to Dip a lot back then.
