Wait a sec, in the original post, you said that nicotine was indeed a big issue, and although cigarettes are bad, im not sure starting at such a high nic dose will be the right thing for you! Please, I know I write a lot, but try to bare with me -- read what you see here, and really think about it!
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here is the thing, so very many people here give up smoking only to pick up the new habit of vaping. Now vaping does not contain the cancer causing chemicals or harmful poisons like analogs do, but depending on the liquid and usage, I find that many people here over consume nicotine relative to their previous consumption, via analogs.
Think of it this way, e-cigs will give you the opportunity to "smoke" pretty much anywhere and since it is "better" we wont feel guilty about doing it! Also factor in the fact that most of us have addictive personalities, and when it all adds up, this new priveledge of "smoking anywhere" will seem like a win-win scenario. The problem is, you have to be careful! I can guarantee that almost everyone here admits to vaping more than they smoked analogs.
Lets say you smoke a pack a day... that is ~22 mg of nicotine each pack, within 24 hrs of usage. Therefore, you should NOT be consuming more than this much nicotine using the vaping method. If you do, then you are pretty much worse off than you were with e-cigs, in regards to nicotine (which seem to be your main concern).
Lets say you buy a 36 mg liquid, that means per every 1 ml of liquid you smoke, you get 36 mg of nicotine. That is already quite a bit more than a pack of smokes! Also consider that it is not that uncommon to smoke 1 ml of liquid a day ... at 2 ml of liquid, you will have consumed 72 mg's of nicotine, equivelent to 3.5 cigarette packs worth of nic!
In your particular situation, it would be wise to not tempt yourself which such high nicotine concentrations. Use ignorance to your advantage, because i GUARANTEE that if you get the 36 mg, you will become used to 36 mg dosage and it will be extremely difficult to go lower. Your body will NEED THE FIX just like it would with any other substance! It would be wise to use the above option of maintaining a lower nic dose, but maybe rewarding yourself with the 36 mg every once and a while.
IMO get a medium mix and work from there, but then again, this is just my opinion and I am just trying to look out! Lemme know if I am flawed or wrong in any of my arguements!
