When I first started vaping, a friend advised me to start at 18mg. That just did not cut it for me. I would vape for an hour then go have a cig. I moved up to 36mg which finally soothed my cravings but could not sleep at night. I went down to 26mg and stayed on it for about a month. Still, I am a chain vaper and 26mg was making me jittery and I was having CRAZY ... dreams. July will be my one year mark. (Since I started vaping. I still smoke about 5 - 8 cigs/week) So I am not totally clean but, a vast improvement from 2 PAD. I can kind of understand the OPs warning but everyone is different and will eventually find a comfortable nic level.
No throat hit at all. No feeling of inhaling anything other than plain air with some flavor.
when I was vaping my 3.7vdc bolt I would use 36mg but when I switched to a VW (smoktech sid) I was going into nicotine over dose. so i switched to 18mg and haven't had a problem since.
I would say get a few strengths, 24, 18 and maybe 12. Starting out. Everyone is different.
When I started I tried 24 and 18 nended up getting sick. Thankfully, a member helped me in PMs and it turns out based on how I had smoked, I really only needed 14mg at the MAX.

I never liked throat hit. Feels very harsh.
I love the more full, billowy feeling and taste of high VG with less flavor and TH. Its mellow in sort of a "big" way for me.
Guess fulfillment is different for everyone.

Well for real smokers, especially ones who smoked analog menthol's, if you don't get a throat hit, you dont feel like you are smoking
I was a real smoker, I smoked menthols, I don't care about throat hit.
Of course, it's been almost 2 years since I quit.

OK I see, I guess everybody is different
Well, if it makes you feel better, it most likely makes almost no difference in the end.
Good job, you've already learned that and it's only your first month.
It takes most people a lot longer than that to figure it out.
Here are just some of the many examples...

i think your problem is more the pain medications interacting with nicotine, than your nicotine delivery theory. as a rule ecigs deliver much less nicotine than reg cigs. this is more likely the formula followed by vapers. 3PAD(like me)- 36 MG. 2PAD- 24MG. 1PAD- 18 MG. these are generally the levels needed for a person to put the ciggies down for good. once that is accomplished the individuals own body will let him/her know if and when to step down. and hydrating like the FDA is going to ban water next week helps a lot with deleterious effects from vaping.
you do not take into account the lies we were taught about nicotine our whole lives. every individual is different where the cig addiction is concerned, but the nagging fear of withdrawal effects, and lack of nicotine play a powerful part in this process. 40 days in i switched from 16 mg to 0 mg out of curiosity about all the dread from threads about withdrawal. i vaped 0 nic for 1 month successfully, without the tobacco addiction in play there was no suffering from the lack of nicotine that i suffered from my whole life. now i know when i decide to stop vaping permanently, there is no fear from nicotine withdrawal, and i can enjoy the next 9 months (with nicotine) without the nagging fear.
bottom line everyone has to find the level of nicotine necessary to continue on the road of non smoking. trial and error gets you there

I'm not exact sure I would describe it this way. But as it has been Stated Very Clearly in this Thread, Everyone is Different. I say if Anyone has Never Tried 0mg e-Liquid, pick up a Small Bottle of your Favorite Mix and Try It.
You Might Like it.
Or, You Might Not.
Well said! I was a P1/2AD smoker for 20 years and I vape 24 mg and 18 Mg juice mostly. I vape heavily at times and have had no issues. I am only about a week in but I have not picked up a cig in 4 days now and no real desire for one either. As far as 0 nic juice, eventually I will give some a try just to see how it goes.
