I am looking to figure out what strength of liquid to purchase. I smoke 20 analogs per day of Salem Light 100s and don't want to overdo the nicotine amount I intake per day.
Thanks!
Thanks!

I was a pack and a half a day smoker of Marlboro Lights and use 24 or 36. I am planning on working my way down soon but didn't want to have it too light to start with. Just my 2 cents
Don't be afraid to get to high of a nic mg because u can always delute it if its to strong and welcome
As said above, high nic is not a bad thing.
If I had listened to that bit of advice when I started vaping, I would probably shaved 2 weeks off the time it took me to walk away from the cigarettes.
Unless you are drinking the juice quickly, you'll feel the symptoms of too much nic before it becomes dangerous.
Nobody smokes the same, so the nic level of your smokes is not a great indicator. Plus you'll be vaping, which is different again from smoking.
My advice, get some low, medium, high, and extra high on your first order. Try each and see which kills the craving to smoke.

It really depends. I would get a variety of strengths to try, from 10 - 36 mg. As was said, you can always dilute a juice that is too high. You cannot gauge what level nic should be in your juice by what you smoked. The absorption is different than an analog (mostly oral and throat, not lungs), so how much nic you need will depend on the absorption efficiency and your own body's metabolism. Try some juices and see what you like.
And to make it even more uncertain to predict, how much you vape in the beginning is not necessarily the level you will be vaping in a month. It might be more, it might be less. How you vape also important in nic absorption, and how often you hit. But a variety and just take some time, vape, enjoy, and figure it out as you go. There are no rules, no equations to follow.

Comparison is a bit pointless really but I totally understand why youre trying to - but the only way is to experiment.'
I was a full pack ultralights and 24mg was way too high for me, but for others its just right. I use 12mg regularly now and also zero nic too but others who smoked the exact same amount of the same cigs need different amounts. Nicotine is quite a good 'self-limiting' drug, not unlike caffiene. Too much of either makes you feel bad and you stop.
Its not impossible to OD yourself on nic but most people don't - even when I was smoking a TON I never OD'd, and I know co-workers who smoked up to 4 packs a day and never OD'd and I hate to think how much nic (plus all those other chemicals) they were getting a day lol.
Just go at your own pace, and you should be ok.

I completely agree with everything said above.
However, the chances are very good you will need either 16mg, 18mg or 24mg strength.
You may wind up needing less, or even more, but it is unlikely.

I started with low nic juice and had a hard time with cravings for the first week. I upped my nic to 24mg and haven't wanted a cig since (over 2 months now).
