Excited Newbie Alert....LOL, Quick ?

Hi All

Been lurking since last week and figured out from day 1 that V4L was what I wanted to try out...

Seen SALE yippeee for tomm. so will prob. call and drive Mark or Steve crazy.....but hoping I can have the majority of noob questions already answered.....so I won't be to much of a pest....

I smoke Marl Med. about 3/4-1 pack a day.....on for 15 yrs. off 5yrs back on this time about 3 yrs.

What would a suggested cart. Mg. start be? I plan on getting the unflavored 6 mg. bottle to "cut" if need be but would like to get a close to baseline amount so I don't need to dilute right off the bat.

I know I seen a how to figure how many mgs. of nic.you are taking in w/ analogs & how to figure how much you take in via vap-ing but can't find it now.... so any help would be much appreciated.

TIA
Cheryl

i started with 18, i smoked 3/4-1 1/2 packs of newps a day. it's working out quite well for me... then again i'm (currently) vaping *constantly*... when my cravings are totally gone (they're practically gone now) i might go to 24 mg and not vape as much. on the other hand vaping is so pleasant... i might *drop* the nic and vape even more.

I'd say to start with 24 mg. You can buy lower next time if you like, but it beats buying too low to begin with and Jones'ing for higher strength. I tried 36 and it's a bit strong; 11 is a bit weak. 24's where I like to stay. Best of luck to you!

Welcome!

I'm sorry I can't help you on the nic strength, but the formulas didn't work for me.

Have you read Birdy's User Guide? It's terriffic!

Yay and welcome!!!! I was a 1 - 1.5 pack a day Marb red (mediums sometimes) smoker and my happy place is 18mg but sometimes I do kick it up a notch when I'm really wanting nicotine. It does take a bit of experimenting, ordering the low nic juice is a fantastic idea then you can cut it if it's too strong for you.

No matter what nicotine strength you decide on it will take a bit of getting used to. What you may be able to handle or what might change within the first week, cartos that used to feel VERY strong to me I can now vape with ease.

This might be helpful reading http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...nverting-e-cigs-regards-nicotine-content.html and the guys at V4L are very good at suggesting the strengths and flavors you might want to try.

 

[Metal Art Gal]

Yeah I was also thinking 24 or 18 too.....

Are you guys just using the tabacco carts or have you tried other flavors...I get hungry from the descripts some of you guys use for the other "flavors" chocolate, coffee, cola, irish cream....yum yum!

NOW I need a pre-midnight snack.....LOL

 

[maaron]

welcome to the club!!

 

[Belletrist]

i'd get some tobacco carts for the first couple days... i'm on day... *looks at signature* 6, and NOW i can taste the fantastic flavs in the other carts. the first day they didn't taste bad, but i couldn't really get the flavors... once you cut down analogs, though, you'll prob start branching out. def try the RY4... it's tobacco-y but also like, sweet-caramel-rich-smoky... i love it.

 

[Metal Art Gal]

Yes Birdy's Guide is da bomb! I had alot of my questions answered from that! Kuddos Birdy!

BTW Pawpaw LOVE your tagline one of my favorite sayings!

Taryn! You are awesome that's the one I seen last night...info overload last night forgot to bookmark it

 

[Metal Art Gal]

RY5 was one of them I was wondering about...sounds good

 

[Michelle43]

Hi! I just started 5 days ago, I smoked Marlboro Lights / pack and a half a day.

I started out with cowboy 24mg and it HURT. The throat hit on those were too strong for me just starting out. I would recommend Cowboy 18mg. Also try a flavor or two I was really pleasantly surprised with fruit and candy flavors.

Welcome to V4L

 

[Belletrist]

yup, i didn't get the ry4 on my first order but did on my second and ahhhh in *love*

 

[Taryn]

I knew I wouldn't like the tobacco flavors and I was right. Remember they will not taste like a cigarette, more like the way a unlit cigarette smells if that makes sense. I'm a big fan of the peach/peach cobbler, pear, English Toffee, Ice cream sundae, dr. pepper and many more!

You might want to take advantage of the new sampler packs so you can try several kinds!

Yeah glad I have Christmas money think I gonna be like a kid in a candy store......seen a bunch of sampler packs I think would be good to try out.

What's scary is I'm thinking hummmmmm if I mix peach, raspberry and Orange do I get a fuzzy navel like vap?????? I'm soooooooooo in trouble already I can see LOL

 

[Taryn]

You already fit right in and you haven't even had your first vape..lol!

 

[Belletrist]

oh *def* get some samplers, because some of my fave types are ones i would not have expected.

 

[Metal Art Gal]

Yeppers trouble....english toffee????? soooooooo much trouble

 

[Metal Art Gal]

I think I'm gonna like this the way I stopped last time was one of those cartridge type cigs that wasn't electronic just a liquid filled cig type looking tube

 

[Metal Art Gal]

Well been up since 6 am better get sleep so I can shop til I drop tomm. LOL
