What would you equate a pack of blacks(5 cigars) to in cigarettes?

There's way more nic content in cigars compared to cigs. Which, isn't meant to be inhaled in the first place. I would suggest 24mg to see if it's strong enough for you, if not then 36mg. It is a good idea to get 10ml of each (24 & 36mg) to see which one is best suited for you.

good advice wash,
i actually think i vape too much... chain vaper. I tried cutting down the nic level because going up to high nic didn't make me want to vape less.But 20 mg seems to have the right amount of kick for me, and i vape about 3 or 4 drip loads before i put it down for a bit.
I guess going down in nic would be better for a chain vaper... as i stop when i start to feel queasy....lol.

That's true to the most part. Doesn't apply to everyone but, that was an example to give an idea what nic lvl they should start with when they begin vaping. Especially when they feel 18mg isn't quite enough for them. Personally, I started at around 5-6ml of 24mg a day to stop my cravings. Then tapered down to only 3-4ml a day.

Since some new vapers don't know where to start at in the beginning. This was an example as I stated in that post. It's different for people that have vaped for a little while. Since they usually have experimented with nic strength to find what works for them.

i would never do 36mg thats way to high, you need to get some pg or vg to clean out the atty and a few less then 5 seconds dry burn after. please try keep track nic mg you are doing - you dont want to get the nic high -not good. i been reducing my mg -and usually as day goes on --and if im vaping to much at once i will go to 0mg or a real low mg - keep track. and getting pg or a vg liquid you can cut you high mg down.

Thanks for the sound advice everyone. Since I have quit smoking, I've become a chain vaper and I've been doing so at around 18mg. Maybe I'm vaping so much because of the strength of the analogues and the fact that I'm not getting enough nic now. I'm going to try out some stronger stuff and see if that changes anything.

I disagree.
36 might be too high for YOU.
36 is not too high for everyone.

If you NEED 12mg to get off cigarettes, do 12mg and don't let anyone tell you that's not high enough. Do what your body needs. It will tell you when it's the right level.
If you NEED 36mg to get off cigarettes, do 36mg and don't let anyone tell you that's too high. Do what your body needs. It will tell you when it's the right level.

A quote from a VERY wise friend...
People--we're talking about nicotine here, and yes some care is a good idea especially when children and pets are in the mix. But it's not Plutonium, for god's sake.

Relax.

Just wanted to give you one more tip. Here are a few examples to know which nic lvl is good for:

2 PAD regular strength = 36mg
PAD + regular strength = 24mg
Half PAD + reg strength = 18mg

That worked for me. I used 18 mg. and was a half-pack a day Newport smoker. After 6 weeks I moved down to 12 mg.

Getting back to cleaning attys: So if I buy some plain PG from Walgreens, can I vape a couple of drops of that to clean my atty between sampling juices?

Absolutely, that will get the prior flavor out of the atomizer and allow you to test the next flavor that you have in mind. The PG or VG (make sure it's USP graded) doesn't have to have any nic in it at all. It's better that it has no nic in it. Which will help you avoid excessive intake of nic.

Now, to clean an atomizer is a different matter. I would just go with the methods that are mentioned and you should be fine. If you need instructions as to how I personally clean them then please ask.
