Hey,

I'm new to the hole e-cig thing, I just ordered one and have a few questions about the catridges:

I'm smoking a pack of Lucky Strike a day so wich nicotine strength i need? Is High too much?

And whats about refilling catridges, do i need special catridges or can i just use the normal ones? How much ml goes into one catridge?

Thanks in advance

Hi Rex , welcome aboard.

I cant help with the lucky strike question cause i have no idea how strong they are but would suggest starting off with HIGH strength ( 18mg ). It's easier to come down a peg or to and theres nothing worse than not getting your hit when you first start.

As for refilling carts, you can re-use your used ones , no need to buy blank ones.

Take a looky at some of these vids. I'm sure you'll find something usefull in there ;)

hehe , yup i notice ..

I would go with kate's advice if you also have a few High carts about.

I think if you only have low or medium juice available to you and it doesnt hit the spot it can be very frustrating. plus then you gotta wait for the higher strength stuff to arrive, so what do you do in the meantime......back on the smokes...

I smoked Golden Virginia rolling tobacco when i lit up and found the 18mg ( High ) standard carts adequate for the job.

It is a really tricky question to answer, everyone has different needs. You're right Apo, 18mg is likely far better than a cig. On the other hand some people start off with too much nic and become tolerant. Some people don't crave nic either but would miss the other additives in cigs or the hand to mouth smoking action.

Giving advice on this is a bit of a dilemma, it's easier to point people in the direction of further reading so they can work it out themselves.

Just a quick note. If Rex is in the US, the only Lucky Strikes available anymore are unfiltered, and WILL knock a normal smoker on his ... (I only smoked them on my birthday). So, I think the 'start high' advice may be better in this specific case, but I would definitely not go above 18mg in any case unless you smoke 3+ packs per day.

I'm from germany so we have filtered normal red luckies.

LUCKY!!! They stopped making them over here and I was furious. I mean, I obviously don't care because I'm not smoking anymore :p

Anyway, I would say maybe go for Medium if you haven't already made the purchase--German Luckies (which is what I started smoking on) are 'full flavor' cigarettes, but are not as harsh as American unfiltereds.
