1st night vaping on new 510 - how much liquid should I use?

[beta87]

I'm loving vaping (510 kit from cignot) so far... so much so that I'm worried I'm going to start using more nicotine than I was when I was smoking analogs.

I used to smoke a pack of Marlboro reds a day. I currently have 26 mg e-juice. How many drops of the 26 mg juice should equal 1 pack of Marlboro reds?

I also bought some straight PG and VG juice from TV but it hasn't arrived yet. How many drops of PG or VG should I use if I want to dilute the juice? Which should I use, the PG or VG? I bought them both since they were pretty cheap.

Thanks in advance for all the help!

howdy. welcome to the forums. I was in the same boat a week ago. I was smoking a pack of reds a day. anyways. It's like comparing apples to oranges when trying to figure out how much nicotine you need in comparison to what you got with cigs.

Here's some great reading material on the subject though. some people think it's an accurate judgement, others think it's hard to really calculate..

In a second note, i'm not sure about the dilution, there's a few topics on that subject somewhere around here though.

I was Marlboro Light's man, and I vape about 3ml a day of 18mg and 24mg nic. I noticed that I'm getting way more nic then I used to with analogs, I've lost a little weight.

I was a marlboro ultra lights gal - but I just vape when I want and don't worry about it. Its not smoke, its not as many chemicals and if i get to feeling bad, headache or upset tummy I know Ive gone too mad with it and lay off some.
I vape 12mg mostly - sometimes 0 (zero).

Personally I went from somking about 10 menthols a day to 18mg juice. This fully replaced my smoking habit but I quickly found that 18mg was not cutting it. I jumped to 24mg and that seems much better, although I did greatly increased my level of nicotine dependance.

I have leveled it out though at this point buy using 0mg juice. I will vape on 24mg in the morning to early afternoon and then switch to my 0mg to suit the hand-to-mouth habit; just until I get my nic buzz going, then I'm good. The 0mg is mainly to satisfy the hand to mouth habit. Then in the early evening I will switch to the 24mg, and later into the evening (usually after the baseball game) I switch back to 0mg. I use both liquids about the same amount.

When I'm out and about I don't vape as much, so I use only 24mg when I get a craving. It's alot easier to abstain from vaping than it was smoking.

I hope that helps.

This is very true. Also another thing I noticed is that as time goes by, I vape less and less. I'm pretty sure I can get away with not vaping at all, but I just don't want to do that yet. I've got all this stuff that I don't want to go to waste...

I just registered but I've been lurking around this forum for a while and decided I'd chime in.

I got my first starter kit about 6 months ago (KR808D-1) and when I first got it I had the same question as you. I couldn't find a real answer to my question so I just decided to go for it. For the first few days I vaped like crazy, kind of a "new toy" thing. After a while it kind of leveled off and now I vape when I feel like it. For me I can go an hour or more without vaping but when I do I vape a pretty good amount (my guess is 1-3 cigs worth). BTW I started out with 18mg and after awhile I decided I wanted to up it to 24mg.

My advise is don't worry about it for a while. Enjoy your new pv even if you do go a little crazy with it. I think you need to be able to enjoy it just as much as a real cig.

I just ordered a 510 kit today, to try something new and hopefully it will be better in some of the areas I felt my KR808D-1 is lacking. Glad to hear you're happy with yours!

I smoked a pack a day......I began vaping at 24mg and used about 5ml a week.....I switched to 12mg and my usage went up.....after a month I'm back down to about 5ml a week.....now I will start using 6mg......

I went from approx. a pack a day of reds to none with 36mg eliquid and will drip 1-2 drops 6-8 times a day. It seems to do the job. I would like to vape more often, but I need to downgrade to 16-24mg first, or lay off the coffee.

Thanks for all the advice. If I continue vaping at the rate I currently am, I think I need to downgrade from 24mg e-juice.
