Common Names, Compatibility, and where to get one!

This is my first post so I can't start a thread about this, but was wondering if someone can lend a helping hand?
I am going to order a 808 and it will be my first time vaping, so I was wondering, when ordering extra carts, how does the mg of nicotine level relate to regular cigs?
I see a lot of the flavors on V4L are only in stock in 36mg.
Is this really strong?
I am currently a smoker looking to quit, but still enjoy some of the benefits of smoking and vaping seems like an interesting, safer and cleaner habit.
I smoke Camel lights or Pall Mall Blues and was wondering how those would compare to the different levels of nicotine available in the cartomizers.
Thanks.

Honestly from what many people have said, the nicotine level you smoke and what you need from vaping are far different things. I started off with 24mg but you might want to try 18mg. It takes some experimentation to find your level and your favorite flavors.

V4L has just announced major shipments of cartos that were held up in customs are coming in the next day or two so the shortages should be over!

Another question:

How many actual puffs or drags do you get on average out of a prefilled cart?

I drag longer so I get a better "smoke-like hit", some call this a throat hit.

This decreases the "Puffs" per cart.

On a 510 (seems to be the fav around here not going HV or High Voltage) I can get about 10 from an un-modded cart.

On a modded cart like the fluval fish foam plug, some are stating that it lasts a long time. This is due to removing the filler, and just placing a plug in it. A straw mod is good too. I don't know how many draws on this, but A LOT!

Just my opinion, I've babbled enough.

I've never honestly counted my puffs per carto. But I do know I go through about a carto and a half a day (new or fully refilled not just topped off) and I'm vaping quite a bit.

Thanks for the replies.
I know some vendors claim up to 300 puffs per cart, but I wouldn't believe that after a lot of reading on here and other info, but most vendors claim 100+ and was wondering if that was realistic. I guess not.

I also want to be able to tell at a glance what flavor my carts are...
I'm considering making labels with a label maker. Brother makes a label maker called the P-Touch. The labels aren't elegant looking, but they should serve the purpose. You can customize by using different color label tape and there are also different 'frames' that you can select. (western, comic balloon, etc.) After you print the label, you just peel off the backing and wrap it around the cart. Simple.

What vendors have them in different colors for different flavors.I really hate the ones that are one color and I cant tell what they are once I take them out of the pack.A paint pen wont even work on them.It drives me nuts.I dont like feeling like I have cheap generic stuff.I want something I can work with.Does anyone know?
