I started at 24..i vaped that for a week and then steped down to 18mg. I would say.. vape 18mg but have at least 1 bottle of 24mg for the cravings.

I second the strategy singu gave. They also say that there's as much as a 10 fold variation in nic tolerance between individuals.

Good read:

18 mg wasn't enough for me, but sometimes 24 feels a bit too much (usually when I am vaping for the sheer point of vaping rather than trying to satisfy a craving). I can say though that 24 mg has gotten me through the rougest of cravings without a hitch.

To put into perspective my habit of 25 years analog. 1st 13 years Newport Box, then did a switch to reg. Skipping over the brand hunt I went through over 3 or so years, I ended up on American Spirits Blue which to me seem to be a pretty strong over the last 8 - although I cut it down to 7 cigs a day last few months. Peaked at 2 PAD.

I'm planning on staying with 24 for a while before I step down, but worried that my new PV will allow me to take in more of the nic or I'll find myself vaping more often and so 18 maybe the right choice for me soon enough.

Something else I picked up on here, if you find you get a juice that's too strong for you, save it if you liked it. You can always mix it with the same juice at a lower or 0mg strenght to create a strenght you like. Warrants further research of course for mixing formulas.

Good luck on your journey. :)

Thank you for your input! I am a newbie, and ordered 18mg Dekang as I thought I would be getting too much nicotine. Had Morgan not offered to send me some liquids that didn't meet her fancy and a couple of them were 24mg, I probably would not have made the switch to vaping that I have made thus far. I'm down from 1.5/2pad to 5 and below analogs a day. I have gotten down to as low as one... Pretty soon none! I ordered the Dekang 24mg, so we will see how that goes :) I was a Newport 100 smoker, then switched to American Spirits Dark Green due to breathing issues..... The Dekang Nport is pretty good still looking for that total package on the Newport :) Thanks again.:toast:
 
You're doing awesome and I wish you the best. Glad this info helped and remember that there's no rush to completely stopping analogs. You're already ahead of the game and that's a ton less usage already. Way to go. Soon you'll be looking back and smiling. :thumbs:
