Hi - what dose nicotine

[djsvapour]

Thanks to all again I am looking forward to it

No problem. Is it the middle of the night there? Go to sleep!!

You can import for personal use? Is it possible for a UK vaper to post liquid to an Aussie vaper?

I heard a worrying story about a UK supplier "offering" liquids to Aus' at 4x the UK cost?!>?

Mind bringing me to a similar conclusion? As previously stated, I smoked Buglar Turkish rolling tobacco and about 18-19 a day. Thanks!

That is some strong stuff! 2.3% nicotine content, @ 19 per day you could safely vape 24mg or even higher though I don't know many who go higher than that, but there are some who may

At the moment I am smoking Horizon Purple. The problem is that in Australia we have plain labelled cigarettes now and they have taken the content off the sides of the pack. I was smoking Holiday Purple up until about 2 months ago when they jumped $5 per pack overnight. They were 2 mg. So I changed to Horizon Purple thinking that they were the same as the lady in the shop told me they were but I have just found out that they are 12 mg so not happy about that, I should have been smoking Horizon yellow. It is very confusing over here as all packets look the same.

never heard of that brand, guess you gotta be down under to buy those. They compute nic content differently in the USA, lets say a marlboro red has 0.9mg and the Ultralights have about 0.5mg. So people smoking a PAD would use 18mg nic juice and 10mg nic juice respectively.

For the horizon brand they must compute the nic content based on the whole pack:
Horizon Red = 16 mg
Horizon Purple = 12 mg
Horizon Blue = 8 mg
Horizon Orange = 4 mg
Horizon Yellow = 2 mg
Horizon White = 1 mg

I started at 18mg and quickly dropped to 12, and now 6. I am an all day vaper, so it hasn't been difficult to decrease.

Welcome!

When you start there is no easy answer for this. There seems to be a pretty broad range regarding how much nicotine people absorb from vaping so every individual has to sort this out for themself. For two people who have the same smoking profile, one person might get bowled over by 24 mg while the next person can find even 24 mg just isn't enough.

Ok, so what do you do? Try to find a place selling small sample sizes - like 5 ml bottles - and pick up one of each in 12 mg, 18 mg & 24 mg nic levels. If you do this none of it will go to waste. If you find 12 mg isn't enough you will just vape through it really fast. If 24 mg feels like too much nic you can just mix it with the 12 mg to cut the nic level down.

It's also a good idea to get at least one of those each in high or 100 PG and one in high or 100 VG, both to figure out your likes and dislikes there and to have something to change to in the rare case that you have adverse or allergic reaction to PG or VG. It's rare, but I found out right away I was allergic to PG liquids and at least I had a 100 VG liquid s right there to try.

Lots of good points in this post. Try small bottles such as 5ml to figure out your nic level, everything Ieasy after you find the right nic level, cause it's just flavor after that.

We cant buy the nicotine fluid over here I have had to order it from the USA. It is illegal to buy it here but I can import 3 months supply. I ordered a 250 ml bottle of 50mg/ml as that is what I was told to get by an e-cig vendor. I just want to know the ratio as I also suffer panic attacks and dont want to feel dizzy or anything like that. this is a huge step for me I have been smoking for 38 years.

What are the symptoms of allergy to PG?

By the way I love this forum it has been so informative while I have been researching.

I also have anxiety/panic disorder and take Xanax. I quit 8 days ago and I am using 12 mg nic dose. I was a 2-3 pack a day for 40 years. It's hard to tell if my symptoms were from my disorder or because of my nic dosage. Either way I'm not going to go to a high nic dose to find out. I've got a week under my belt and feel pretty good. No relapses and I'm not missing the analogs. Maybe I did myself a favor by going 12 mgs. I think fear of the e-cig influenced my decision of dosage.

I smoked a pack a day of Marlboro reds. I haven't had one in about a day and I'm only using 16mg nic. Supposedly the higher the nic the less the flavor. ???
