Does this sound like a good start for a chain smoker?

I smoked Virginia Slim lights about 30/day and started with 12. Now I am home all day so can vape all day and the 12 worked for me. After a little over 3 mo, I pretty much am vaping 6 mg and I do that all day too. I think I would leave the zero mg for much later in your vaping career. I know I am not ready yet to drop to zero and may not be for quite a while yet. It isn't a race to get to zero, it is taking enough time to be sure that you stay off cigs and don't feel the need to go back.

Okay I smoked light cigarettes and I wanted to start with 6ml nicotine as a regular vape and 12ml nicotine for emergencies and I also have zero nicotine for chain vaping. Do you think this is sufficient to stay off the smokes?

I would say you'd need at LEAST 18mg to start with. I was NOT a chain smoker (smoked about a pack a day) and started off with 24. That kicked my cravings in the nads. Best of luck to you and happy vaping!

when i started vaping, i was down to about 10 sticks a day of lights (i topped out at 1 pad full flavors a few years prior). i can't chain vape at work, and in order to keep a similar "smoke break" schedule without getting cranky, i needed 18mg juice.

as trazzman pointed out, it's a lot easier if you can make a hobby out of it. i'm fortunate enough to work with several people who started vaping at around the same time, and we're always exchanging gear, flavors, builds, etc. i do have the occasional lapse every few months or so, but someone is always there to pull me back into vaping.

For the 5 years I smoked, I was smoking about a pack a day sometimes 2 probably the last 3 years of it, when I started vaping I started out at 16 mg which I stuck with for 3 months then I went to 12 mg, then 6 mg, now I'm at 1 mg. I'm to the point where I just simply enjoy it as a hobby and will continue to do so.

12mg might not be enough nic for chain vapors io.

For a chain smoker? What brand and strength of cigarettes did you use to begin with?

I started off smoking Marlboro Reds and then switched to Lights.2 packs a day. 6-12mg wasnt nearly strong enough for me. I started at 24mg nd worked my way down from there dropping 6mg every 4-5 months.
