Personally I prefer dl, I don't like a restrictive drawer but people don't need to argue do they?? As was said it's personal preference 
My friends all still smoking...

Hi Whitecat.
as it was said earlier, each vaper have his own unique style
as for myself i moved to vaping after almost a chain smoking of a hookah, and yes, i do only the sub ohm vaping because it makes huge clouds just like hookah. it's not about being 8 year old or something like that, it where the partuclar vaper came from. somebody smokes it cigarette style, MTL and other ppl like me smoke it DL, like hookah. IMHO it does have nothing connected with being childish....
I agree it isn't anything to do with being childlish, it is as you said just a style of vaping an it is the way I have vaped from day one. After I got past the ego I was so amazed with dl, vaping is a breakthrough. Thanks for the message David, I'm glad someone spoke up
Well, I totally disagree with the above 2 posts, as well as similar ones on here. I smoked 1- 1 1/2 PAD for 42+ years, and tried numerous methods to quit in that time. Then, with only a simple double JoyeTech 510 kit (with the shorty atomizers and refillable foam-filled cartridges), and vaping just 3 little 6mL bottles of 11mg juices, and from there on just 6mg juices...I totally quit smoking. Dual used and tapered off the smokes in 2 months. Haven't even wanted a smoke and know I'll never have another one.
I've also helped 8 other people switch to vaping since then. All have been 25+ year smokers, and 3 of them had tried vaping before (gas station cig-a-likes and/or big honkin' kits + high mg eliquid sold to them at vape shops). Helped each of them find a starter kit they were comfortable with and a level of nic that they liked. 6 of the 8 have never used higher than 12mg eliquid. Only 2 started with 18mg for about 4 months, then went down to 12mg. Now, 5 are at 6mg, 3mg, or even lower.
My newest "project" is my niece, who's smoked for 23 years. 2 years ago she was sold 24mg eliquid by a vape shop when she got her first kit from them. She tried and tried to vape it, but it was hurting her throat...so she quit trying. Vape shop kept telling her 24 was "right for her", so she felt it was just a problem with her! I didn't even know she'd tried vaping. As of Christmas, she's vaping some 12mg DIY I made for her, as well as some 6mg, too. She's tapering off on the smokes and is really liking vaping!
So there's no "one size fits all" that works for everyone, no matter how many years they've smoked! With people like my niece and some of the others I've helped, being led into thinking that 24mg or higher is supposed to be used by longtime smokers...it seems that many who could actually quit, if they were helped to find what hardware and nic level is right for them...are just giving up trying instead.
100% agree with the above!
Yep! Totally agree with this, too!
Well that shop isnt very helpful is It? I dont know andine who vapes at 24mg, that Would kill me!
That said everything said in this forum has just stated their own opinion an What worked for them.
People have different tolérance ranging from 3mg all thé way to 36mg. Some cigalikes even reach 48mg an sometimes new vapers start considerably higher while others dont need too.
It took ages for me to find thé right pc/vg, thé right mg an flavours.
No one is wrong here

Didn't say anyone was wrong. Just said I disagree with their posts, which I took to be their opinions. Newbies to vaping don't always "take" many posts as opinions though, but as supposed facts instead. Wanted to voice my differing opinion about nic levels that also "work" for some starting vapers, is all.
Sorry must of misunderstood your post, do that a lot.
Yeah i follow you, of course theres different starting levels

glad to know i'm not the only mutant here...lol going with what someone needs is better than a blanket "high nic/high ohms!"... no one smokes the same and no one vapes the same. if it works for you, great!
Yes agreed, everyone is different and we all just hope that newbies stick with it until they find what works for them. I think because you went with a long ween the 12 mg worked, it gave you time to get mentally prepared. With me, I went straight into 24mg and only dual used a couple days. Personally I still think it's a better choice to use a higher nic (if the device your using it with is a true mtl tank, not a sub tank doing DL because yes, that would be harsh) because I believe alot might loose interest vaping lower nic and dual using for extended times.

In my eyes this is the perfect starter setup...
Subtank Mini... 1.2 ohm coils with 12mg or 0.5 ohm coils with 6mg... any mod that will hit about 30 watts... I used a Cloupor Mini+ and by far that is the mod that has held up the best over the years.. Still almost like new...
That setup delivers a decent amount of nicotine but can handle high VG to keep it fairly smooth but with the nic so high you still get throat hit...
Old pic but a good one
That setup helped me quit, well I already had quit but it made me feel comfortable enough to know I will never smoke again, I lent it to a friend, he liked it he eventually quit with it and upgraded then gave it back as per our arrangement and now the mod is in the hands of another friend who's cut his smoking in half with it, I have a feeling he'll upgrade by spring...
So that setup, has helped 2 1/2 people I know stay off the cigs I was a really heavy smoker 40-60 a day depending on if I was having beers or not...
A while back efun.top had the Cloupor Mini+ on sale for 9.99$ I hesitated buying some because I didn't know if the site was real since it was so cheap, I should've ordered a pile of them

Weird that I have to quote myself and am not able to edit my OG post.
Sorry Vaping Noobs, my statement was in fact opinion and not the be all, end all way to quit smoking. Definitely find what works for you. I needed the high mg nic to quit (that's 12mg/mL) cigs. I was afraid of low ohms in the beginning and stuck to 1.5 to 2 ohm coils. This kept me satisfied for a while but I slowly began wanting more. Everyone is different. As long as you move away from the stink logs your on the right track. Vape on!
as i've said... it's the blanket you must vape this high nic and this ohms or you will fail that is irking me... not everyone is the same. if someone said i had to use that setup and tried to make me switching using it, i would still be smoking... some posters are of the view it's the only way and it is not. people need to realise people smoke differently, just like they vape differently and need to adjust to what the new vaperer needs, not what they think is the perfect vape.
Exactly, some people can try an forcé you a bit an Thats not gonna help you quit. Ive only been to one decent shop that has helped.
When i got my topbox She went 24mg will be fine an it burnt m'y freaking coil out, it wasnt till several months later i found out with sub ohming its best to have 24mg or less.
Since moving to this town this shop isnt any Better but It got me on to my first dual setup and now i will have m'y alien. Come far from m'y first cigalike.
Anyways i think there should be more people on this site like Cheallaigh. Arguing is not helpful or necessary.
It is all a learning curve. Vapes on

I am the only success story I know of all my friends who have tried.. [/QUOTE]
I hear you on this, I am also the only one in my circle who has made the switch. I do hope in time that some will follow.

LOL. Whitecat, you stirring it up with the candy smokers? I'm an ice cream smoker myself. We can all get along.
Congrats on quitting. I took this path too a couple years ago, after so many failed attempts to quit on patch/Chantix/wllbutrin/gum. Smoked 1.5 PAD for over 30 yrs. It sounds like you got a bum steer when you crossed over. The first couple websites I looked at told me that 12 mg was equivalent to a PAD smoker, and 18 for heavier smokers, and that worked for me. I jumped in at 12 knowing (expecting) I was gonna take a cut in my nic intake. I had thought long and hard about 18 before choosing to lighten my nic intake a little bit during my "conversion". Now, 2 yrs later, I'm not ready to lighten my juice yet. 12mg is a good bottom line for me coming off of Camel Filters.
Later on, I may plan to cut my nic intake further for health reasons. But let me get through the next 4 yrs first. :-(
BTW, thanks for the tip. I notice when I blow smoke rings, I seem more satisfied. Must be the longer mouth-hit.
I don't see any posts stating that they believe this is the only way, what I see is that most believe that higher nic, percentage wise, is the best way. Yes obviously everyone is different and thank god for that, also thank god that there are indeed options as well to fit these differences. I know people have quit with dl and low nic, I see it here, but i don't think statistically, it's as successful to a completely new vapor .
