Can't speak to the Canadian vendors.

I vape somewhere between 2 - 4 mls a day. Hard to say exactly, as I switch off flavors during the day. 18 mg nic. Used to smoke about 1 1/2 pack a day equivalent - hand rolled shag cut pipe tobacco. I started at 18 on the nic, but it wasn't doing it for me. Switched up to 24, and smoked my last nearly a year ago.

Still on the analogs as you all say and getting closer to purchasing my first e-cig and juice. Just trying to cover my bases is all. Were you the type of smoker at times you would smoke an analog ten or twenty min apart. I'm sometimes like that but sometimes I can go a couple hours without. Thinkin 24mg might be a better deal for me.

Yeah, getting used to what to have, and how much, is part of learning the "art" of vaping. Really not good to run out of anything.

Backups to backups, of batteries, chargers, toppers, coils.

If you can, go to a local vape shop to taste test a variety of juices. And don't limit yourself to "tobacco" types. Some of the other available flavors might be pleasantly surprising. :)

Good luck with the switch. Expect a few bumps along the way, but it's most definitely worth the change!

I smoked for 35+ years. Started @ about a PAD. It seemed that every failed attempt at quitting bumped my smoking habit up. In the last years of smoking, I was going through 2 bags of rez smokes, the strong ones. I've been vaping 21 months now. I started with 24mg juice and stayed with that for 11 months. Dropped to 18mg for about 3 months, then down to 12mg, That seems to be my sweet stop spot.

Before I was able to kick the smokes out of my life for good, I vaped & smoked for 6 weeks.

My advise for any new vaper -Don't stress yourself, if you need to do both for a smooth transition, do it. Every analog you don't have is a huge step forward. Just enjoy the new venture.
