Good intentions, implementation, and results here, but seriously folks, think VERY carefully about what you're doing when you tamper with something someone's putting in their body.
Do not try at home to the nth degree.
This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

implying anyone on 4chan gives a shit about consent
this made me really uncomfortable too, also its extremely fake, you can't 'take apart' a vape juice bottle (theyre a single piece of plastic), and no one on 4chan has a girlfriend (lol)
You can take apart juice bottles.
The least realistic part is that anon managed to get to and dilute every bottle their gf used.
Cause if they miss one, their gf is gonna have a serious shock.
So, lack of consent and extremely controlling?
Or, as everything else, is fake and gay
That's a very good point. The fictitious gf is the one buying the bottles. So if they are used to 1% nicotine and pick up a regular strength one, they're going to use it, and immediately notice the difference...
I take apart mine every time I buy one. To add nicotine. Maybe there are different kinds of bottles? I’ve never seen one where the top is not detachable.
Juice maker here: the tops are all detachable.
Maybe the ones you use can't be taken apart but dont assume the whole world aligns to your image of it
Just be open to things possibly being different to what you experience them to be
also its extremely fake, you can't 'take apart' a vape juice bottle (theyre a single piece of plastic),
What sketchy cheap shit are you using? I've used a vape for a decade now, and you can remove the nipple cape on every single bottle.
Instructions unclear. Afraid to cook for gf now.
yeah using some random "cutting solution" is how you end up with Honey Cut 2.0
You don't use a random cutting solution, you use the same juice with no nicotine. A lot of juice makers offer 0 nic versions for people that want to just enjoy the act and flavor of vaping without the addiction, and for this specific purpose of cutting the nic level because they only offer certain increments (usually 3%, 6%, 12%), which may be too high for one's personal preference.
Just as a thought experiment, what you'd really wanna do is change the salt nic formulation, i.e. the acidic compound which is added to freebase nicotine to convert it to a salt. This directly shapes the pharmacokinetics of the resulting nicotinic effect from vaping it, which is what leads to the common knowledge that salt nic hits harder, but doesn't last as long as freebase. That isn't universally true at all, but is a result of the salt formulations that are popular in the market.
I worked with a scientist that once formulated a 20mg/mL solution for me that had similar throat hit to the 40mg/mL products I was using & had a very steep onset curve, and I found it to still be very satisfying even immediately after swapping. It wasn't a successful product though because for the consumer, 20mg = 20mg & 40mg = 40mg
Guess my point is that the novel ways of using tech to improve weaning off nicotine using vaping do legitimately exist, but they don't have a place in a free market so we won't have it while regulators stay luddites on the issue
That's when you take a page out of the book of lightbulb manufacturers. On the box, CFLs and LEDs don't show their actual wattage on the front, they write "100w equivalent" because that's how people are used to measuring luminosity.
Mixing vape juice is standard practice though. You can buy nicottine free vape juice everywhere. If you splti 50mg with nic free at 50:50 you have... 25mg! It's extremely common FYI
This is BS. By the third or fourth bottle shed be like wtf is up with this juice?
(This reduction method helped me quit, but it's not imperceptible like that)
It's also BS because it is 4chan and a lot of their posts are untrue and homosexual.
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
This is literally how I quit, except I did it intentionally.
But this is fake because the jump from 0.001 to 0.000 was like the ground disappearing beneath my feet.
For the previous week I was only using 0 nic juice in a pod that previously held a tiny amount of nic (we're talking trace amounts near the end - I wasn't feeling a thing).
Anyway I thought I was going through withdrawal so hard with the 0 nic in the used pod, but NOPE switch to 0 nic in a fresh pod and it was like "welcome to withdrawal 2."
Still really happy I quit though. It's so great not going into a panick whenever I misplace my vape for like 42 seconds. That was always so fucking humbling.
I've also done this to quit vaping. I've quit cold turkey a couple times, but diluting like this was by far easier for me. Still difficult, especially when going to zero nic, but it worked.
50% nic lmao. Fake as hell.
OP probably means 50mg which is standard high concentration nic salts (freebase is most commonly 3mg). People often mistake mg for percentage in vaping.
But they claimed to have used dilution formulas to achieve these percentages. Pretty sure it's BS.
I'm not going to argue that greentext is ever real but mixing vape juice and diluting is very common. I vape 3mg freebase 1:2 with nic-free for 1mg juice which has a very tiny nic kick. You can even mix flavors like Cola + Apple or cherry is just delicious :P
everyone i know calls 50mg "50%"
everyone.
I've vaped since 2013 and have literally never heard of this. Could be regional 💁♂️
probably is. personally never heard anything other than percentages
50mg is also a metric fucton of nic in a vape. My strong mixes are 13mg, and low nic is 4mg.
My wife uses 50mg saltnic, it's crazy. I tried hitting it once and dear god my head was spinning.
Other than being blatantly fake this is really nice.
It is okay to assume something is real when it doesn't hurt anyone. :)
Cause maybe, juuust maybe, this story will help someone else.
And then the gf decides she wants to try a new flavor, buys her "normal" nic strength, and fills her vape up with it before anon has a chance to dilute it.
This would actually work out fine because she'd get he new bottle, hit it as hard as she did with her diluted bottles, then to proceed to throw up. The nausea alone from nicotine overdose should be a decent deterrent.
As someone who "quit" nicotine and picked it up again later multiple times... The first hit after a while felt amazing every time. Unfortunately. No nausea at all.
Isnt fine tuning tour dosage literally the point of vapes? There are a lot of fluids with different levels of nicotine. Also from 50% you would fucking die. Its probably 50mg.
Diluting 50 times you'd need one hell of an amount of "dilution formula".
It's called water
Pure water will work for a couple of percentage points but above that will not work properly because atomisers expect a certain range of viscosity or they won't wick properly. It's generally a mix of propylene glycol, glycerine, and water. More glycerine means more clouds, natural sweetness, and annoying hygroscopy (i.e. you'll get a dry mouth), while PG is an aroma carrier, less sweet, quite a bit less hygroscopic. It's also the standard solvent for nicotine and aroma, not just vape aromas most food aromas are PG-based, too. Water is there to make the liquid less viscous and/or reduce hygroscopy of the overall mixture.
It's eazy to buy:
10 liters - you will never need to buy again.
For those who literally just got a pic in Russian - this is a 10L (12,5kg) canister of 99,8% pure food-grade glycerol
Автор, не забывай, что по-русски тут почти никто не говорит :D
Wouldn't she just use it more often and ultimately get roughly the same dose?
It's possible, but frequency is determined by more factors than simply relief from nicotine withdrawal. It's also possible that reducing concentration very slightly doesn't change the overall equation enough to actually drive behavioral change. But I'd agree that outcomes are better secured with conscious intent. I think quitting successfully and meaningfully means learning resilience against compulsion to engage in behaviors driven by chemical reactions in the brain, which this approach doesn't do at all.
The story is a bit controlling/manipulative in my opinion. Even if the net outcome is good I'd feel like I was overstepping a boundary if I did this to my partner.
It sounds so freaking fake too.
Tbh, I hope it's real and this woman is free from vape addiction. There's a question here about boundaries but what strikes me the most is that I can't take it seriously. The tone is just so characteristic of these 4chan green texts. No details, no heart. Straight to the point. Short enough to get a bunch of upvotes.
He wrote it like it's a simple story that happened within a week. It just feels manufactured
How long does it takes to vape a bottle?
How big a bottle and how efficient the vape? When I did regularly if I recall a 30 ml bottle would last about a week. That switching from a pack/day smoking for comparison of volume.
lmao that’s exactly what I did to quit nicotine altogether. Vaped off of cigarettes, then started lowering the nicotine until about of month of zero, then just stopped completely about two years ago.
But this was when you could order custom nicotine level juice and get it sent though the mail. I figured out that this was too good to last, so I lowered my concentrations kinda quickly. This was fortunate, because not long after I quit, the last high quantity e-juice company I sourced from closed up shop.
TBDLiquids, B-X Vapor, and Blue Dot Vapors, you were the GOAT.
I still have the last half bottle or so of zero nicotine juice as a reminder. So glad I was able to beat the addiction in time.
