What nicotine level do you smoke?

[minoh]

Hi, I am fairly new to the e-cig business and I was wondering what level of nicotine do you guys usually buy like 6mg, 12 mg, etc. Also do you have any recommendation as the first time e-cig smoker?

Thanks!!

Depends on how much you smoke. I smoked a pack a day of menthol a and started at 18mg. Used about 3ml/day. Down to 3mg now.

Welcome Minoh! I think strength is a combination of what strength analogs you smoke along with personal preferences. I was smoking 50 analog a day and 24 mg was suggested to me but I only smoked ultra light 100's so it turns out that 12 mg was a better fit for me.

I used to smoke 2 1/2 packs of Red fully flavor 100s a day.

I've been vaping 24mg nicotine eliquid for nearly 6 months, and I DO NOT plan on cutting down.

It makes me sane

I started at 18 and I've worked down to 12, I think it seems just right for me

Voted! Good idea for an up to date one!

I started at 11mg and that was really enough to take care of the cravings from a pack and a half of lights a day. It wasn't enough sans smoke to help control Ulcerative Colitis. After I was diagnosed I worked my way up to 18mg.

I started vaping 18mg but liked it so much I had to cut down to 16mg's because I was getting too much nicotine and it's working great.

For me it depends whether I'm using a tank (12mg) or dripping atomizer (6-8mg).

from 18 to 12 think 9 would be ok soon

I started at 18 mg and i smoked about 1.5 packs of regular cigs a day. Now 30 days later i am vaping 12mg during the day and 6mg at night before bed.

I would be at 0mg if it provided a throat hit. IMO it's the holy grail of juicing making.

That seems like a good threat topic....brb.

I was a 1.25 - 1.50 pack a day smoker. I started at 30 mg/ml I think that was a bit high in my opinion but got me off of smoking pretty quickly. I'm now down to 24 mg/ml for most of the day. I just recently started a 4 mg/ml at night time flavor that I like...although I have relapsed 3 times in past two weeks at night time with a "real"/"analog" cig so not sure if it is a good or bad thing.

My goal obviously is to quit smoking analogs all together. At the same time I'm trying to cut my nic concentration down. I may be trying to do it too quickly not sure. I don't have a mentor or adviser as how to do this process .

I just know I've cut my 25-30 cigs a day down to one or so a week. As for nic experiment if you start to get too far off track you probably need to increase your nic. I'm purposefully trying to lower my nic which is why I am maybe relapsing from time to time.

If you feel comfortable with nic pg/vg just vape away. I myself have a goal of at some point getting off the addiction...but others don't seem to think that it matters as nic is very similar to caffeine. On side note I used to drink 2 pots of coffee a day. I now only drink 1/2 glasses a week.

Choose your battles. Vaping is obviously better than than smoking packs a day. Vaping may not be healthy but it's the better alternative to smoking. Just my opinion. And in aprox 3 months of vaping I think I've only smoked 2 packs of cigs. Considering I smoked almost 2 packs in a day 2 packs in 3 months is a very significant improvement.

I am new myself, and I am starting on 24 mg because I really wanted it to work and keep me off analogs. I still get urges for tobacco, until I vape and it goes away. I tried patches but they did not work. I have too much of a desire to feel smoke in my lungs. Once I see the frequency I want to vape fall off, then I will consider reducing. I heard the two weeks I have been vaping is not long enough to start to see measurable changes in smelling, urges, and the like. However my coughing is reduced, and my breathing seems better already. Hang in there!

Started out at 18mg and that's where I still am. Have not wanted a real cigarette so I guess that's about where I should be. I am starting to think about cutting it down though. Welcome to ecf and I look forward to reading about your continued success.

started at 24mg and stayed there for about 5-6 months, slowly worked my way down and am at 12-16mg, but I have some 6 to 8mg that I will go down to in about a month or so, then maybe 0!!! It did not bother me to go down but I have a juice that tastes so good at any mg. Fancee Juice Meesetracks and I cant live without it.

 

[AdamGott]

I started at 12 and 18 a couple of months ago and am down to 6 (with the exception of the many bottles of 12 and 18 that I still have). I am going to start ordering a few zeros with the sixes and see how that goes next!

I vape 18mg and have since I started. I did buy some lower 12mg juice for dripping so I wouldn't get wired.
