IMO, your nicotine level is too high. I smoked 1.5 packs a day of Camel Gold. I'm using 12 mg.
In addition, even though, you might have the right nicotine level, your body is still trying to get rid of the nasty things collected in your lounge. It'll take a while to get it out of your system. Drink lots of O juice!
I agree. I smoked a pack and half of full flavor menthols a day and I use 12-15mg. 36mg is just absolutely way too strong, especially for a new vaper who may think that a kick in the chest and burning throat is the norm.
