Yep absolutely everyone is different. Some could probably start off at 24 at no problems I am sure. Just for me, with my medicines which are already very powerful, its hard to tell whether that dizzy feeling is from the meds or the nic lol.
Nothing at all against the people who vape 24+ mg though. There are just a lot of irresponsible people who work in vape shops all across the world, and being informed is always a good thing
Besides, if one person accidently overdoses on high nic e-juice the media is gonna have a field day, and vaping will get demonized very quickly. They already want to, they're just trying to find the right angle first.

I smoked 1.5 packs a day of Camel Blue 99s (a.k.a. Camel Light 99s) for 35 years. 24mg nicotine at 2ml per day worked perfectly for me with a 3.7V semi-regulated single voltage APV. Nicotine mg strength means absolutely nothing unless the daily ml intake figure and/or the efficiency of the device is taken into account.
Sorry, hate to rain on the parade and all that but there aren't any easy answers regarding the substitution of vaping for cigarette smoking. Trial and error still reigns supreme.

I smoked 2 PAD of Menthols for over 30 yrs, closer to 35.
I started vaping at 18 mg and stayed there for about 5 months.....tried 12 mg eliquid around Xmas time but I was irritable and not a happy camper so I bumped it up to 15 mg and its my sweet spot it seems.

I had the same problem. Believe it or not the problem is Internet Explorer. One of the updates did it.
Switch to FireFox or Chrome, you will be fine.
Oh? Well, not going to like my story then, because I started off with 36mg and used a 48mg juice as a kicker to bull my way thru the cravings and such. No nic OD's, and the levels kept me going for a month to get off the smokes. After that I made the 36mg my kicker and reduced to 18mg. Was actually too far down for me at first.
What I vape now is set to 20mg, and I can cut that down more soon, although I don't think I will.
There are also now more people that say a higher nic juice might be needed for most people to start off. It's all going to depend on the individual, what their smoking habits were, vaping style and tolerances.

I began @ 36 mg but am not on any meds. I strongly suggest ALL new vapers confide in their Doctor when starting on their journey...doesn't matter whether your GP approves or not but just to make sure he/ she's aware of your vaping prog.

That's interesting! The guy at the shop recommended I not pull it into my lungs, but I neglected to ask why. I prefer the feeling of deep vaping as opposed to shallow/in the mouth. Thanks for the info
I was at a pack or pack and a half a day of ML. Using 12mg juice and loving it. I actually ordered 0mg but got absolutely no throat hit at all. Felt no different than inhaling air. I thought I would have at least gotten the feeling of inhaling something but nope. Too bad as I think if it did feel like it does with the 12mg, I wouldn't need the nic at all. Seems to be just the inhalation enjoyment and habit for me more so than an actual physical need for the nicotine.
You use whatever it takes to kill the cravings. Your body will let you know if it's too much long before you hurt yourself.
i started with a 16mg menthol juice and decided that it wasnt enough because i still was having a few cigs throughout hte day so i went up to 24mg pina colada (which im thinking now tastes like fruit punch... may just be my tastes changing, or that im hungry) and only ever had a problem when i first tried to fill my ecig with the 24mg juice and it spilled and i didnt see that i had spilled a small ammount onto my desk until my arm layed in it and i got a little nicotine buzz i like i did when i first started smoking.
I vaped 24mg without any issues for a month prior to lowering the nic level.

I wouldn't say all vendors are irresponsible for making a recommendation but like anything in life, moderation is the key.
Listen to your body.
Remember your also going through withdrawal from 4000 chemicals within analogs.
I'm not a Doctor but I play one on TV...... lol

What's the lowest commonly available strength (>0 mg)? Do most shops carry 6 mg, or would you be more likely to run across 12+ mg?
6 mg is generally the lowest you can buy BUT you could mix equal quantities/ same flavor of zero and 6 mg and end up with 3 mg. Theoretically you could mix 6 mg juice down to 1 mg.
That makes so much sense, and in retrospect seems like it should have been totally obvious.
Thanks!
Everyone is Different.
For me, I Couldn't get over the Hump and quit Smoking on 24mg. I had to go to 36mg for about 3 weeks.
After I felt I was out of the Danger Zone of going back to Analogs, I dropped back down to 24mg. Did that for about 3 or 4 months. Then did 18mg for a Long time.
Now I alternate between 18mg in the Day and 0mg a Lot at Night.
I'm not recommending High mg's to Anyone. But I know for myself, I couldn't Switch at 18 or 24mg.

Here's an online calculator for mixing premade juices:

I am new, and the 18mg seems ok to me. I have some gas and bloating overnite since I only vape at night, but I'm not sure its the juice. I bought some sample bottles of Johnson Creek at 18 mg. I will see how I like them. I think the BLU cartos I started with are 16 to 18 mg?
