I was a smoker, but my brother is not a smoker and recently started vaping cause lots of people at work do. He went right to 0 nic juices and vapes for flavor and is already a cloud chaser.
I stated that way too. Now I'm on 18 mg. Not too good for a non smoker. The 0 nic was missing something. I needed the throat hit.
I'm a lot like you actually. I was a light enough smoker that I'd be considered a nonsmoker, I only had a cigarette or a cigar maybe once every 2-3 weeks. I love vaping though, but I'm up at 24mg and have no intention of decreasing this amount lol
There are folks here who went to zero nic when they started drippin. Couldn't hack the hack
i didnt smoke a single time, and probably will never will, but i always had this chase for actual relaxation ( i have ADHD/ADD.) and i actually purchased a smooth e-cig couple of days ago, and it got me relaxed. i am now waiting for my Ego Twist starter kit.
Whatever floats your boat I guess. Not sure I understand the non-smoker turning to vaping. But it's better than you starting smoking, and not really my place to care what you do.
20y pack a day smoker.
I still use 18MG in things like a kayfun etc. It's uh, punchy.
I found a liquid that I am golden with at this point. It has 100% replaced smoking and I'm better for it.

So there you are sailing through life with no cares, no worries smoking 1 cigarette every 2-3 weeks, and you decide to start vaping and you're at 24mg/ml now? So how does it feel to be a new born nicotine addict? Oh, you say you can quit any time you want to? Yeah, right.
^this. It's such a shame to start using nicotine, especially on your age uglug (you should know better). The fact that you vape instead of using analogs does not make much of a difference IMO. Are you sure you are doing this only to get some throat hit??
I'm almost in the same boat. Borderline a non-smoker, only occasionally enjoying pipe tobacco cigars. If I had to break down my smoking habit, I'd say I probably smoked an average of a pack every other month, if that. Every now and then I'd smoke a pack in a day (4-6 sticks in a pack, mind you), but something unusual would have to have happened for me to do so.
As far a chemical substances go, I've never been addicted to anything, and doubt I ever will be, so I'm not too concerned with that aspect. I generally just find vaping to be enjoyable, and actually have dabbled in some 0 nic bottles just to enjoy the flavors. Not that I don't enjoy a little nicotine buzz, as I do primarily stay around the 6mg range. I've got a bottle of 12mg, but if I hit it it's for a purpose.

I must disclose that I purchased a territory distributing electronic cigs, eHookahs, ecigars, mods and liquids to stores. I had to vape what I was selling and had to know the differences between my brand and the competition. In experimenting I began to really enjoy it....so that's where I am.
Interesting story going from zero to 24mg ug, I've been using 24 for 2.5 years, but I smoked 1.5-2 packs a day for 40 years...so it doesn't really phase me, and all the guys at my local shop can't believe I can vape 24mg in my Kayfun's all day every day, but for someone as yourself that didn't smoke and now uses the highest level of nicotine delivery I'd say that's extremely uncommon and highly unusual.
It seems there's many youngsters these days that have never smoked but now vape, using 0mg juice for the sport of blowing big clouds... their buddies do it and they think it's cool.

I'm honestly of mixed perspective when looking at the non smoker becoming a vaper. On one level, there's the "why take on an addiction for no reason"... Then there's the "well, if vaping is truly the future, why smoke before vaping?".
Either way, if an adult, your choice... But, in a community largely filled with ex-smokers that struggled for years to stop smoking... You are going to get as many puzzled stares here, as you will from people that don't understand what vaping even is.

I quit cigarettes 9 months ago after being a smoker for 2 to 3 years. A week or two ago I decided I missed the act of smoking and had to quit everything else from alcohol to "herbs" and I figured I mine as well vape. I want SOMETHING in my life. I enjoyed smoking, but hated the health defects from it. Now I can vape without really worrying about my health! 
Zero nicotine of course. Not to mention I quit cold turkey, not to be cocky, but I am pretty confident if I need to quit ecigs I will have no problem.

I like seeing non-smokers turn to vaping. Or at least don't like shaming those who do.
Perhaps this is because I was able to go cold turkey for longer than any current vaper has quit smoking via vaping. Some ex-smokers rub me the wrong way, but I guess they think they mean well.

I was sort of a non-smoker. I smoked for 20 some years then quit for 7 years then smoked again for about 10 years then quit for 6-7 years then thought about smoking again but started researching ecigs and ordered a joyetech starter kit and some juices.
I was never a smoker. My friends and I would go to hookah lounges, and I would sit there not smoking, but still having a good time. Now with vaping, I can "smoke" with a healthy conscience
