Finally stopped lurking and joined

Hi i have been lurking for a while, trying to gather as much info as i could to make the transition from analog to vapor. I smoke Newports now, and have for about 17 years. My eGo just came in the mail, but I am awaiting my juice samples. I expect this to be a smooth transition (high hopes) since i've grown tired of the taste of smoking, yet I can't see myself not doing it lol. One question I have at this time is with nicotine levels... Would it be a good idea to have different levels? like a high level when you have the feel for an analog, and a low or no level to just vape on throughout the day? I have been a half a pack a day smoker and i haven't ordered much juice because i didn't want to be nauseous from over vaping with too much nicotine... any advice would be appreciated, i can't wait to start!

First welcome to the forum and good luck with switching the first 2 weeks are the worst and after that you don't even want an anolog. To answer your nicotine level question I don't think it would be a bad idea to have several different levels I started at 18mg and now I'm at 6mg mainly cause I didn't like the throat hit the higher levels gave. I do like your idea though it will allow you to figure out which level you like the best and it could help in cutting down on nicotine, and the quicker you can go down in nicotine the better IMO.

I'm in the same boat. I've been vaping for about a year, and now I'm trying to convert my mom from analogs. My experience from transferring from analogs to vaping has been pretty good. I started off around 18mg, but that seemed like too much at first. My all day vape is around 8-12mg, but for some reason I really like around 18mg in the mornings. I suggest getting a few flavours you think you would like, and a few different strengths of nicotine. I find I like to chain vape, so the lower nic is better, but when I have a big craving for the old stinky sticks I find a few good hits from high nic holds me over. Good luck!

Guilty as charged. Was hiding in the shadows but it got too lonely just watching everyone here. Finally joined in, chimed in, and extremely glad I did.

Well, I was a 1 1/2-2pad smoker and when I made my switch a few weeks ago, started with 24mg nic and it has seems to be about right for me.

PaD Camel filters for 30 years. I vape at 24mg. Rather than cutting nic I've cut my frequency. When I started I vaped every few minutes. Now I only vape a couple of times an hour. I didn't really do that consciously, it's just what I became comfortable with. I expect the gaps to keep widening.
