Hello to all. just want to introduce myself. i am 58 years old living in florida originally from NYC. Ive been a Marlboro smoker for 44 years. I heard about all this talk about e cigarettes and thought id give it a try. I bought the M402 and got some sampler packs to try. I was lucky to find this forum and have have read them all day long and watched the videos and i continue to learn every day new ideas from all you guys gals. great forum with so much knowledge. Right now i am just topping off my carts and also adding 1 to 2 drops on the atty. First few days with my m402 tasted lousy but from what i learned from this forum it was the new atty breaking in. Now it is starting to taste great and lots of vapor. Of course there are sometimes i guess i screw up my drag and get nothing lol. so i will have to learn all the tricks to e cig vaping.
I am trying to figure out what strength nic i need to get that satisfying throat hit. any suggestions? i would thing 24 or 36 mg. Also i still smoke analogs but not as many. i have a real one first thing in the morn with my coffee on the porch. Then i usually walk my dogs have another cup of coffee with another real cig then after that i start vaping for most of the day off and on. after dinner and coffee i will have a real smoke and then again after that back to e cigs. I hope to one day stop anologs all together but we shal see.
Nice to meet you folks and i will have loads of questions as i go along.
Thank you for letting me be here.

My suggestion is to start with more than you think, and cut it down from there. Its easier to cut the 36mg to 24mg and deal with some flavor loss than need more than what you're getting.

Buy plenty of juice. It can take a little time to get in, so get 30ml or more, imho.

Also, I dont think there is one specific mg content for each person, I use several varying strength juices throughout the day, and it works well for me. More when I need more, less when I need less, 0mg when its habit.

Good luck

SLDS181 Thank you for your reply. I have a question. If a person wants to just do the drip method and not top off the carts do you have to still have a empty inner cart with filler in your cartridge? Or do you just use the outter cart with no filler? and if you get liquid in your mouth is it okay to swallow it or spit it out?
Sorry i hope these questions arent dumb but im serious i need to know.
i am totally new to this.
Thanks for any help.

Welcome aboard Cos!

I went from 14mg and am now at 24mg, but 36mg is too much for me. I plan on slowly moving down from 24 to try and get back to 14.

The biggest problem that I ran across on trying to get off analogs was the state of the art and supply chain of the e-smoke supplies. I now make sure I have plenty of atomizers, batteries, juice and back up equipment for my back up equipment.

Good luck!

Cos,

I only drip and have been doing so for a few months now and I don't use any portion of the cart. I just put a few drops into the atty and go.

As far as getting juice on your lips and in your mouth, that happens to me a lot and all I do is wipe my mouth or wash it out with my current drink, coffee in the a.m., water or soda in the afternoon, and beer in the evening.

I don't fret anymore about getting it on my hands any more, I just make sure that if I have it on my fingers, I don't rub my eyes, especially with contacts, it will burn.

Cos,

Great to have you here! I am in St Pete myself!

I too am an ex-25 year 2.5 pack smoker.

My first juice of 11-12mg didnt cut it for me at all. I jumped to 24mg and ended all my nicotine satisfaction problems. I have dropped to about 18 and some 12mg stuff.

I have not had any problems with juice on my hand or fingers, and yes I have swallowed quite a bit of juice. No harm, no foul. It cant hurt to be more careful though. Just dont drink it, or touch eyes or children with juicy hands.

The adaptation takes some time and learning - stick with it - its worth it. I am a 510 user but if ya ever get stuck I can try to help!
