I recommend that if it's your first vaping experience that you get a lot of smaller sized e-liquids in different strengths and flavors. DO NOT choose just one mg juice.

Unfortunately, there's no way to estimate what mg of nicotine that you'll need to start with. Some people who used to smoke three or four PACKs per day end up liking 12mg and some folks who used to smoke 1/2 a pack a day of lights end up wanting 36mg. I can tell you that the average vaper likes 18-24mg.

I use 24mg most of the day and 36mg if I really need a kick. It's also nice to have some lower mg juice for night-time before trying to sleep, since the nicotine will keep me up at night.

One way to figure out what you need is to get 36mg in a flavor that you are likely to enjoy (like marlboro or a nice menthol) and get some of the same in 0mg nicotine, that way you can mix them until you figure out what level you need.

It's bad to end up with a juice that's way too strong, but it can be fixed relatively easily - though not perfectly. If you end up getting a juice that's too weak, however, you'll just suffer though.

Good luck.

Should definately get a range of Nic strengths. It's always nice to have the 36 laying around, and some days thats all I hit. I'm so used to higher voltage now that I don't need the higher nic to give the throat hit im looking for. There are some days when I will turn the volts up over 5 volts on 36mg to get by.

It's nice to have options, and have whatever you need to quit smoking sitting there. I WILL NOT go back to smoking again, and I buy whatever I need to keep on truckin. So that means:

3 different Variable Voltage Mods
over 50 flavors for DIY mixes
Every cartomizer and atomizer on the market today (expect the rebranded ones)
A shiny GG just because it looks cool

Do what it takes to get off the analogs, don't lock yourself into one type of PV. If that PV dont work, and you go back to smoking, it was wasted money anyways.

Oh, and for those that worried at cost. I found this "Little Sister" VV mod from Ken's Box mods. It is by FAR the cheapest of the VVs I have, but it is fantastic and the size of a lighter, lol.

All very good advice! I've stated it before, don't beat yourself up if you break down and suck on an analog! If it happens, it happens. More than likely you will suck that thing down and wonder why the heck you did. It'll taste like crap and you will feel the same way because of it as well. The only advice that I can add to what already has been said is to really try and not smoke an analog for at least two weeks after starting vaping. You will actually be able to taste now and you will taste how bad they really are.

You will also spend a lot of time trying to figure out what this term or that anachronism means while on this site. Don't get overwhelmed and ask questions. Everyone here is a great help. Be patient while waiting for an answer, sometimes it takes a few days to get one. There are probably a hundred thousand or more posts here for people to go through. It can all seem a little overwhelming at times. Like eating an elephant... one bite at a time.

When you do find a flavor/nic combination that you like, stick with it. Make sure that you have enough before you have to re-order. A chronic problem with some of the vendors,... a lot of the vendors, is that they don't seem to keep the inventory necessary to meet the demand, and that seems to be the case with a lot of items not just juice. So, plan accordingly and find a good backup flavor and/or product to hold you through till the one that you want comes back in stock. I'm STILL waiting for my favorite juice from Volcano, Blue Water Punch, HIGHLY recommended! Good luck, hang tight, and keep fighting the good fight!
 
Thanks for the warm welcome and advice, I am slowly figuring more out lots of info here...I will not go back! @hippiebrian ya that's it I'm from way up high in the mush mountains lol.

Think I will get a variety of juice as well, now if bloog can get their starter kit in stock I will get to vaping! I miss sucking on my passthrough inside where its nice and warm.
