Hi all, newbie here too. I tried numerous time and could not get over those initial cravings. I found vaping higher nicotine levels distorted the flavour and made it less enjoyable. What seems to be working for me now is vaping lower nicotine levels (6 mg max) to keep it more enjoyable and supplementing the initial nicotine withdrawal via patch or gum. Using a low dosage patch or gum while vaping low levels of nicotine seem to keep the craving at bay very very well.
